Terms & Conditions

Terms & Conditions

At Bernard Andrews Roofing Ltd, we believe in clear communication, quality workmanship and honest business practices. These Terms and Conditions explain how we work and form part of every quotation and contract unless otherwise agreed in writing.

By accepting our quotation, paying a deposit or signing our Acceptance Form, you confirm that you have read and accepted these Terms and Conditions.

Quotations

Our quotations remain valid for 14 calendar days from the date of issue unless otherwise stated.

All quotations are based upon the visible condition of the property at the time of inspection together with the information provided by the client.

Any work not specifically described within the written quotation is excluded.

Acceptance of Works

A contract is formed once:

  • The quotation has been accepted.
  • These Terms and Conditions have been accepted.
  • The required deposit has been received.

No commencement date is guaranteed until these requirements have been satisfied.

Deposit & Payments

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

  • A 50% deposit is required upon acceptance of the quotation.
  • The remaining balance is payable immediately upon practical completion of the agreed works.
  • Larger contracts may be subject to staged payments where stated within the quotation.

Workmanship guarantees, completion certificates and any applicable Insurance Backed Guarantees will only be issued once payment has been received in full.

Variations & Hidden Defects

Roofing inspections are generally visual only.

Once existing roof coverings are removed, previously hidden defects such as rotten timbers, defective decking, structural movement, defective masonry, asbestos, inadequate ventilation or previous poor workmanship may become apparent.

These items are not included unless specifically stated within the quotation.

Where additional works become necessary we will:

  • Explain what has been found.
  • Provide photographs where reasonably practical.
  • Issue a revised quotation or written variation.
  • Obtain your approval before proceeding, unless emergency weatherproofing or safety works are immediately required.

Building Control, Planning & Statutory Approvals

Unless specifically included within our quotation, responsibility for obtaining any necessary:

  • Building Control approval
  • Planning Permission
  • Listed Building Consent
  • Conservation Area Consent
  • Party Wall matters
  • Structural calculations
  • Professional fees

remains with the client.

Bernard Andrews Roofing Ltd will cooperate with Building Control and other statutory authorities where required as part of the agreed works.

Access

The client agrees to provide safe and reasonable access throughout the duration of the works.

Reasonable access to electricity and water should also be available where required.

Where access is delayed or prevented by the client or a third party, Bernard Andrews Roofing Ltd reserves the right to revise programme dates and recover any reasonable additional costs incurred.

Weather

Roofing works are heavily dependent upon suitable weather conditions.

We reserve the right to suspend works whenever weather conditions would make the work unsafe or could compromise the quality of the finished installation.

Such delays shall not constitute a breach of contract.

Materials

We use quality roofing materials appropriate to each project.

Should specified materials become unavailable, we reserve the right to substitute equivalent products of equal or higher quality following consultation with the client.

Natural variations in colour, texture and appearance of roofing materials are normal and do not constitute defects.

Existing Structure

Unless specifically stated otherwise, our quotation assumes the existing structure is suitable for the proposed works.

We cannot accept responsibility for hidden defects or structural issues that could not reasonably have been identified prior to commencement.

Health & Safety

All works are carried out in accordance with current Health & Safety legislation.

Where appropriate, project-specific Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) will be prepared and followed throughout the works.

Guarantees

Where applicable, workmanship guarantees will be issued following completion of the agreed works and receipt of payment in full.

Guarantees apply only to the work specifically described within the quotation.

Guarantees do not cover:

  • accidental damage;
  • storm or extreme weather damage;
  • structural movement or subsidence;
  • lack of maintenance;
  • defects outside our agreed scope of works;
  • alterations or damage caused by third parties.

Where applicable, an Insurance Backed Guarantee may also be available, subject to separate policy terms and conditions.

Complaints

Should you have any concerns regarding our work, please notify Bernard Andrews Roofing Ltd as soon as reasonably possible.

We ask that any complaint is submitted in writing, together with as much supporting information as reasonably available, including photographs, videos (where appropriate), and a clear description of the issue.

This enables us to properly assess the matter and, where appropriate, arrange an inspection.

The Customer agrees to provide Bernard Andrews Roofing Ltd with a reasonable opportunity to inspect the alleged defect and, where we accept responsibility, to rectify it before instructing another contractor to carry out remedial works, except where immediate emergency action is reasonably necessary to prevent injury or significant damage.

Where another contractor is instructed to alter, remove or replace the works before Bernard Andrews Roofing Ltd has been given a reasonable opportunity to inspect and assess the alleged defect, this may affect our ability to determine the cause of the issue and may limit or invalidate any applicable workmanship guarantee, where permitted by law.

Photographs

We may take photographs before, during and after the works for surveying, quality control, record keeping, guarantee administration and dispute resolution.

Customer details will never be used for marketing without the client’s permission.

Cancellation Rights

Where applicable, statutory cancellation rights will be provided separately together with the required Notice of Right to Cancel.

Where a client requests work to begin before the statutory cancellation period has expired, a separate written request to commence early will be required.

Liability

Bernard Andrews Roofing Ltd will carry out all agreed works using reasonable care and skill.

Nothing within these Terms and Conditions excludes any statutory rights available to consumers.

Our liability is limited to the reasonable cost of repairing defects arising directly from our workmanship where we have been given a reasonable opportunity to inspect and rectify the matter.

Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Our Commitment

At Bernard Andrews Roofing Ltd, we believe that craftsmanship, honesty and professionalism remain the foundation of good roofing.

Our aim is simple:

  • To carry out every project to the highest possible standard.
  • To communicate openly and honestly with our clients.
  • To resolve any issues fairly and professionally.
  • To stand behind the quality of our workmanship.
  • To treat every property with the same care and respect we would expect in our own home.

Traditional Roofers. Traditional Values.
