We use email for written communication. You consent to us corresponding with you by email and relying on communications from your email account unless you tell us otherwise in writing.
We require written confirmation that you wish to accept the Quotation and proceed with the outlined Services.
The work start date will be a mutually convenient date agreed upon by us.

We will complete the contract within a reasonable time. Any estimated completion dates are supplied for guidance only.
We will notify you of approximate delivery dates for services provided to us by external companies, such as scaffolding erection and dismantle, welfare facility delivery and collection, waste service delivery and collection, and material delivery. These dates are supplied for guidance only.
Unless agreed otherwise, we will provide the Services on standard working days, starting no earlier than 8 a.m. and finishing no later than 9 p.m. A typical working day is Monday to Friday, excluding Bank holidays or any other National holidays.

2. OUR SERVICE

We will:

  • provide the Services in accordance with the accepted Quotation and These Terms;

4. Payment

You are liable to pay our invoices as outlined in our Quotation and These Terms.
The cost of our Services is subject to VAT.
Upon acceptance of the quotation, we will send a booking deposit invoice for 5% of the total cost. This non-refundable deposit is due upon receipt and is required to confirm a work start date.
When the total cost of the Services is over £5,000, we will require an advanced payment of 40% of the total cost of the Quotation. This instalment invoice will be sent the week before work starts and payment is due on receipt.
When the total cost of the Services exceeds £20,000, we will require payments in instalments. We will inform you of the payment schedule upon acceptance of the quotation.
We will send the final invoice when the provision of the Services outlined in the Quotation is complete. Final invoices will show the deducted deposit and instalment/s and must be paid on satisfactory completion of work.
We will charge interest on unpaid invoices. Interest will be charged on a daily basis.
If you do not pay our invoices, we reserve the right to cease further work for you.
Details of our payment methods can be found on your Quotation or the FAQs page of our website.

5. QUOTATION

The Quotation will be provided in writing and will give the total cost and a detailed description of the Services to be provided.
The Quotation will remain valid and open for 30 days. After this time, the quotation may require amendment.
Before confirming acceptance, you must ensure that you have read, reviewed, and understood the Quotation and confirmed that it meets your requirements.
The total cost to you may be revised in the following circumstances:

  • You instruct us to carry out additional Services not in the original Quotation. In this situation, we will provide an updated Quotation.
  • If further Services that were not anticipated when the original Quotation was prepared are required, we will provide a written explanation with photographic evidence.
  • If the prices of Materials or Services increase between your acceptance of the Quotation and the work start date. We shall inform you of such increase and any difference in the total cost. The option to cancel is available should you choose to do so.

Unless stated in the Quotation, we have made no allowance for:

  • Replacement, repairs, alteration, treatment, or strengthening of any structural elements, timbers, or joists which were not reasonably apparent at the time of the quotation.
  • Replacement, repairs or alteration of the existing structure or substrate, improvement of drainage, water runoff, or other improvements to the customer’s property that were not reasonably apparent at the time of the quotation.
  • Any internal finishes.

If you have supplied measurements for a Quotation, we reserve the right to alter the Quotation if the measurements are incorrect.
If you would like to amend any details of the Services, you must inform us in writing as soon as possible. We will send an updated Quotation with the required changes and any additional costs.

6. MATERIALS

Materials supplied by us will remain our property until paid for in full.
We reserve the right to offer substitutions when supplying the Services. The substitutions will not be inferior to those described in the Quotation.
Any samples provided to you are samples to show substance and general character. We cannot guarantee that the products supplied will be exactly equal in colour, size, thickness, or shape. We are not responsible if the materials supplied do not exactly match the samples previously supplied.
Salvage Materials stripped or removed while providing the Services shall become our property and have been considered in the Quotation. This includes lead, slates, ridge tiles, and general roofing materials.
This Agreement gives no warranty for Materials supplied by you.

7. MISCELLANEOUS

We reserve the right to display signboards at the property advertising the name of our Company.

7a. Surveys

We provide free survey and Quotations, except for in the following circumstances:
Insurance quotations
For properties on the market, including for sale, sold subject to contract, etc.
The price of chargeable surveys and quotations start from £75+VAT.

7b. Damage

We will use all due care and attention when working above existing ceilings. We will not be held responsible for damage to ceilings or internal finishes unless it can be proven that we executed the work without due diligence.
We shall not be responsible for any damage or consequential damage to the property or contents caused by movement or vibration to ceilings, soffits, and areas where internal finishes are fixed to structural members or timbers supporting our work.
We do not accept responsibility for any deterioration or damage to ceilings, walls, gutters, or building fabric found to be defective before or during the commencement of the Services.
Whilst providing the Services, dust and debris will inevitably fall into the roof space beneath. We cannot be held liable for any soiling of items that occasionally can occur under the circumstances.
While providing the Services, we will attempt to ensure that the Property remains watertight. However, due to the nature of the work involved, it is not possible to guarantee the exclusion of water through a temporarily open roof or an overnight seal under severe or sudden adverse weather conditions.
We cannot be held liable for damage to areas over which the Company is required to work, such as lower roofs and additions, garden plants, shrubs, ornaments, and the like, unless it is caused by our negligence. We reserve the right to request that you remove or have removed at your expense areas of sheeting or glazing and to remove or otherwise protect anything as may be necessary to facilitate the erection of scaffolding or the safe progress of the works.
If items are left in areas where work is taking place, this is done so at the Customers own risk, and no liability for damage caused shall be taken by the Company unless the damage is caused by our negligence.

7c. FLAT ROOFING

Unless we detail in the quotation that the works involve building a timber frame to increase the roof’s pitch, we cannot guarantee that the flat roof will not hold water after the completion of the works.
No responsibility will be taken for ponding water on flat roofs following re-roofing on refurbishment projects or new works where others completed the roof structure.

7d. BRICKWORK

A wall or chimney flashing is only as good as the brickwork above it, and we may advise further waterproofing and re-pointing work to be carried out in the event of persistent leaks.
We accept no responsibility for water ingress through brickwork on chimney or abutment unless an appropriate lead tray or cavity tray has been installed.

8. LIABILITY AND INDEMNITY

You agree to the limits on our liability set out in These Terms and that these are reasonable in all the circumstances.
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in These Terms seeks to exclude or limit our liability with respect to our liabilities, which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, such as with respect to death or personal injury. The following terms should therefore be read subject to this.
We will not be liable for any special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind (whether foreseeable or known or not), including loss of profit, revenue, income, business, opportunity, goodwill or similar economic loss or damage.
We shall not be liable to you for any loss or damage arising because of ‘force majeure’ (if we cannot perform any of our services because of a cause beyond our reasonable control).
We will not be liable for any services or products provided by any third party, even if we instruct them on your behalf or use them in the provision of our services to you.
We will not be liable to anyone who is not our client for professional negligence. These Terms confer no rights on any third parties, and the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 shall not apply.

9. CANCELLATION

You may cancel this Agreement if you wish to do so by telling us in writing via email to spartanroofing24@gmail.com
You have 14 days to inform us of your wish to cancel. The period of 14 days begins from the date you accept the Quotation.
You may agree for work to commence before the expiry of the 14-day cooling-off period by confirming in writing that you agree to waive your cancellation rights. If you decide to cancel within 14 days, payment will be due for all work carried out before cancellation.

10. COMPLAINTS
