We are satisfied that the defects arise solely from faulty design (other than a design made, furnished or specified by you ), materials or workmanship; and

The products claimed to be defective are returned to us initially at your expense.

Due to the bespoke nature of the majority of our product please telephone us to discuss any returns issues. Under the Consumer Rights Directive (‘CRD’), if you are contracting with us as a consumer online or by phone, you have the right to cancel your contract at any time up to 14 calendar days after the day on which you receive the goods or services you ordered. These regulations only apply to those items shown as Next Day Delivery or In Stock and do not apply to other items as they will have to be made to order and are therefore deemed as bespoke items under the regulations.

The cost of returning the item is with the sender and it is necessary that it is returned in the condition it was received with all the original packaging.
