Returns & cancellations

Made to measure, made for you.

Almost everything we sell is built to your exact sizes, colour and specification. Here is how cancellations, returns and faults work, and exactly what to do on delivery.

95%+

Made to order

The vast majority of our products are cut to your exact sizes and can't be returned for change of mind.

Beforeproduction

Cancellation

Production can begin immediately, so cancellation is only possible before it starts and isn't guaranteed.

14days

Stock rooflights

Standard fixed-size flat rooflights can be returned within 14 days, unused.

24h

Check on delivery

Inspect before you sign, note any damage on the delivery note, and report within 24 hours with photos.

The order journey

When can I cancel?

Because each item is built to your sizes, your window to cancel a bespoke order closes once it enters production. Here's the journey.

1
Act immediately

Order placed

Made-to-order items can enter production straight away. To request cancellation, email us immediately. We'll try to stop it, but can't guarantee we can.

2
Limited

Sent to manufacture

Your bespoke item is now being cut and built to your sizes. It can no longer be cancelled or changed.

3
Non-cancellable

In production

Made-to-measure goods are exempt from change-of-mind returns under consumer law.

4
Check on arrival

Delivered

Inspect everything, glass included, before you sign. Note any damage on the delivery note and report it within 24 hours. Genuine faults stay covered by the guarantee.

Bespoke, made-to-order

All doors and roof lanterns, made to your chosen size, colour and glass, so non-returnable for change of mind.

  • Cancellation only before production starts
  • No change-of-mind return once in production

  • Must be unused, unopened, original packaging
  • Return delivery is arranged and paid by you

Genuine product faults

Rare, but fully handled. Covered by the manufacturer guarantee for years, with your statutory rights as a short backstop.

  • Manufacturer guarantee of up to 20 years
  • Statutory right to reject in the first 30 days
  • We assess and arrange it with the maker for you

The moment it arrives

Check your order on delivery

Our products are large and delivered kerbside, and glass is fragile. A few minutes checking your order when it arrives protects you, and means anything that needs sorting is dealt with quickly as a delivery issue.

Inspect before you sign

Deliveries are kerbside, so have someone available to receive and check the order. Inspect it before signing, and if you can't check it fully, sign for it as "unchecked".

Note damage on the delivery note

Record any visible damage or shortage on the driver's delivery note at the point of delivery, before they leave, then report it to us within 24 hours with photos.

Inspect the glass

Check glass for cracks, chips or scratches before you accept and before fitting. Glass damage found after fitting can't be attributed to delivery.

Don't fit damaged goods

If something isn't right, don't fit it — fitting is treated as accepting the product. Store it safely and contact us first.

Storing before installation? Keep glazed units upright, supported and somewhere dry and secure. Once delivered, the product is in your care, so damage during storage, handling or fitting isn't covered.

Glass is manufactured to recognised British and European visual quality standards. Minor characteristics within those standards, viewed from the normal distance, are not defects. Full detail is on our Guarantee page.

This record helps support a claim and doesn't affect your statutory rights. Once a product is fitted it's treated as accepted.

Before you fit

Most issues come down to fitting

We're a supply-only business, so installation is carried out by your own competent installer. In our experience the large majority of reported problems are caused by incorrect fitting, not by the product itself. Getting this right protects both how your product performs and your guarantee.

Use a competent installer

Aluminium glazing should be fitted by an experienced professional, working level, square and to the manufacturer's tolerances.

Follow the guides

Each product comes with fitting instructions. Read them fully before you start, and don't force any component.

Check before you fit

Inspect every item on delivery and before installation. Once a product is fitted it's treated as accepted.

Bad fitting isn't covered

Faults caused by incorrect installation are not a product defect and fall outside the guarantee.

Not sure about something? It's always quicker and cheaper to ask us before you order or before you fit than to resolve a problem afterwards. We're happy to help.

Measure twice, order once

Your sizes, your specification, your responsibility

We manufacture strictly to the sizes and specification you submit. As a supply-only business we don't carry out a site survey or check your measurements, so responsibility for the sizes, the specification and the product's suitability for your opening and access route sits with you. We can't accept returns or offer refunds for items ordered in the wrong size, colour or configuration. If you're unsure, check our guide or ask us before you order.

of bespoke orders are made to the exact sizes you confirm at checkout

Before, during & after

Your responsibilities

A quick, plain-English summary of what's down to you when buying made-to-order products from a supply-only business. Following these protects your order and your guarantee.

Measurements & specification

Provide accurate sizes and the correct specification. We build exactly to what you confirm at checkout.

Suitability & access

Make sure the product suits your opening and can be moved through your access route into position.

Receive & inspect

Be available for kerbside delivery, inspect everything including glass, and record the condition before signing.

Report quickly, with evidence

Note any damage on the delivery note at the point of delivery, then report it within 24 hours with your order number and dated photos.

Don't fit or alter a suspect item

If something looks wrong, don't fit, modify or attempt to repair it. Doing so is treated as accepting it and ends any claim.

Store & fit correctly

Store glazed units safely before installation and have them fitted by a competent installer to the manufacturer's instructions.

Aluminium finishes and glass can show slight variation in colour, tone and surface between batches and from how they appear on screen. Minor variation within the manufacturer's tolerances is normal and isn't a fault. Full terms are in our Terms & conditions.

If you're eligible

Starting a return or claim

2

We confirm next steps

We'll confirm whether it's covered and arrange collection or return, liaising with the manufacturer for you.

Resolved & refunded

Eligible refunds are issued to your original payment method within 14 days of us receiving the goods.

Returns questions

'My product isn\'t working since it was fitted, is that covered?', 'answer' => 'Most issues reported after installation are caused by fitting rather than the product. As a supply-only business, installation is carried out by your own installer, and faults caused by incorrect fitting aren\'t a product defect, so they sit outside the guarantee. Please work through our fitting guidance first. If you\'ve checked everything and still believe the product is at fault, contact us with photos and we\'ll help.'], ['question' => 'How long do refunds take?', 'answer' => 'Eligible refunds are processed to your original payment method within 14 days of us receiving the returned goods, or confirming a cancellation within the free window.'], ]" />

We're here before and after you order.

Ask us anything about sizing, lead times or your order. It's always better to check before you confirm.
