4. Suitability of goods
4.1 We provide a free design and measuring service for your convenience. We are not installers, and you will be required to check the suitability of any products supplied with a qualified person before delivery. When ordering products for kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms, it is vital that you have checked correct measurements and confirmed any planned measurements prior to placing an order, as New Image takes no responsibility for discrepancies in measurements
4.2 If we have carried out a measuring service for you this will be to the best of our ability, but we cannot be held liable for discrepancies in quantity or suitability of goods. All fitters have their own preferred techniques, and they may use a different quantity of goods than we have estimated
4.3 Please ensure you check the batch numbers on the boxes of tiles provided are identical before fitting and contact us immediately if they are not. Unfortunately, whatever the circumstances once the tiles are fitted to the wall or floor, we will be unable to change/replace them, even if the company have inadvertently supplied them incorrectly. We will not be liable for any costs as a result of this. It is standard practice for an installer to check they have the correct components prior to commencing installation. Tiles ordered later may vary from the batch on your original order. There are specific guidelines for this in the code of practice BS.8000 PT.11 “workmanship on building sites”
4.4 If you take a tile sample before placing your order, we cannot guarantee the batch you received will be the same as your sample. Samples are used a representation only and you should check you are happy with them before installation
4.5 Due to the nature of some of our products there is no guarantee given that furniture, worktops, or any items of this type will be an exact replica to any samples or images viewed. The company accepts no responsibility for variations in colour, and these are ordered at your own risk.
4.6 Please be aware that if there are any products which you purchase which are size critical, they must be checked for suitability immediately when you receive them. Due to the manufacturing process of many of our products the sizes shown are nominal and can differ by up to +/- 20mm. For example, a shower door may be described as 800mm, but you may find the actual size could be 790mm.
4.7 If you are in any doubt regarding suitability of goods, please do not fit them but call the sales team for assistance
5. Installation
5.1 The company does not employ installers, but we have a select few approved installers who are highly experienced at fitting our products, and we will gladly arrange for them to quote for your project. We have procedures in place to ensure their quality of work is high, they are however self-employed, and we cannot be held responsible for their work. Any contracts that you form for installation are between you and the installer
5.2 If you arrange for a non-approved installer to carry out the installation, you must ensure that they have the relevant experience to install the products you have purchased. Due to the bespoke nature of some of our products there may not be an installation guide for all products sold
5.3 If you are purchasing a kitchen, bathroom or bedroom from us, we advise you to arrange for your fitter to discuss the details of the plan with the designer before purchasing
5.4 Some kitchen, bathroom and bedroom elements may require the fitter to create some parts on site; for example, the corner posts for the kitchens are not performed; this allows a variable option for the corners. The corner is to be made on-site with the materials provided. Likewise, other items such as panels, plinths and fillers will also need to be cut to size on site
5.5 On occasion door frontals may not have been drilled for hinges, for example doors with pull out units or top doors for ovens, this may be required to be completed on-site by the installer to ensure the hinges will not interfere with the operation of the unit, this should be discussed by you with the fitter prior to placing an order.
5.6 It is your responsibility to ensure the site is ready for installation
