As part of our checkout process you will be given the opportunity to check your order and to correct any errors. We will send you an order acknowledgement, detailing the products you have ordered.

The contract is subject to your right of cancellation (see below).

Any order placed by you for goods advertised on our website is an offer by you to purchase the goods selected in your order. No contract exists between you and us for the sale of any goods until we have received your order and accepted it (which we may do at our discretion). Our acceptance of an order takes place when we despatch the order or send you confirmation by email even if your payment has been processed immediately.

We may refuse at our discretion to accept an order:

  • where we cannot obtain authorisation for your payment;
  • if there has been a pricing or product description error; or
  • if you do not meet any eligibility criteria set out in our terms and conditions.
  • where goods ordered by you are not available;
  • if we do not deliver to your area;
  • if we are unwilling or unable to fulfil your order for any other reason;

Where we do not accept your order but have processed your payment, we will re-credit your account with any amount deducted by us from your debit or credit card as soon as possible, but in any event within 30 days of your order. We will not be obliged to pay any additional amount as compensation for disappointment.

We make no representation and accept no liability in respect of the export or import of the goods you purchase.

Payment

Payment can be made by any of the options advertised on our website. Payment shall be due before delivery. If payment fails your order will be cancelled. There will be no delivery until clear funds have been received.

Payment online: Our secure server software encrypts all your payment card details. The process scrambles all the information, allowing no unauthorised third party to intercept the data. Your browser will confirm that you are shopping in a secure environment by showing either a locked padlock icon or an image of a padlock next to the payment details in the relevant area of the website.

To ensure that your credit, debit or charge card is not being used without your consent, we will validate name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third party databases.

By accepting these terms and conditions you consent to such checks being made. In performing these checks personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of that information. You can rest assured that this is done only to confirm your identity, that a credit check is not performed and that your credit rating will be unaffected. All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. During security checks we may ask for additional information or documentation to help support the data you supplied.

Please be aware that if you are using Paypal as your payment method we reserve the right to not ship to unconfirmed addresses.

We reserve the right not to make deliveries even if our website provides the facility to place orders for delivery to that location.

Upon receipt of your order you will be asked to sign for the goods received in good condition. If the package does not appear to be in good condition then please refuse the delivery. If you are unable to check the contents of your delivery at the point of delivery then please sign for the parcel as "UNCHECKED". Failure to do so may affect any warranty claims that you make thereafter.

Quotations & Estimates

Please note that whilst we try to ensure estimates are as accurate as possible, we cannot be held responsible for any extra costs incurred as a result of discrepancies in quantities.

Many of the drawings that we estimate materials from are 1:100 or 1:50 scale. This often means that we cannot be completely accurate with the quantity of tile or slate courses on any given slope. Even just one tile course out around the perimeter of any building can result in a significant difference in the final tile, bonnet and valley count. We also allow one gable tile per course, per elevation, because we cannot know with any degree of certainty exactly how the tiles will lay along the length of the batten and consequently whether or not a gable tile will be necessary or not. This is particularly apparent when valley and bonnet hip tiles are used. The gable count that we give is the maximum we consider will be used on a contract but the actual requirement may be much less. This obviously has a bearing on the final tile quantity.

Similarly we allow a percentage for waste when estimating interlocking tiles for cuts into valleys and hips, however accuracy is difficult, and any quantities quoted should be treated as an indication only. As a result, we strongly recommend that a final measure be taken on site once the carpentry work is complete.

About Roofing Supplies Limited will not accept responsibility or liability in relation to any errors in quotations arising as a direct or indirect result of any errors; alterations; amendments; differences and/or discrepancies contained within the details and/or drawings provided to us, upon which quotations have been based.

It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that all measurements and/ or details are checked and verified prior to order placement to correct any errors and/or omissions.

We strongly recommend that final quantities should be confirmed with site prior to placing an order.

Due to inaccuracies inherent in scaling off dimensions from architectural drawings, quotations should only be used as a guide to the final quantities required for each project, as some assumptions may have been made in our calculations. These should be determined on site before ordering, as surplus tiles and fittings may not be able to be accepted back.

The quantities estimated in quotations MUST be regarded as provisional and used for guidance only.

Due to fluctuations in the Stock Market, lead or other LME traded products are potentially subject to price variations, which, if applicable, will be applied when the order is placed.

Quotations are valid for 30 days from the document date. Please discuss longer term requirements with us, as they will be dealt with on a case by case basis.

A Note On Our Returns Policy

Because of the very nature of estimating there will often be materials left over once a roof has been completed. We would rather be over than under on our quantities for obvious reasons and we will always take back materials that are current stock items and are of ‘merchantable’ quality. However, the clearing of sites carries a heavy cost and to this end we have had to introduce the following charges.

  • Items collected from site on our vehicles, £100 per hour (Minimum charge of £100)
  • Items returned to our yard, 15% of the net credit note value

We are very aware that any form of restocking charge, no matter how small, can leave a bitter taste in the mouth and we have tried to be as fair as possible and keep the charge to an absolute minimum, however the increases in diesel & maintenance cost  have far outweighed inflation  in recent years.

Goods that are not current stock items cannot be taken back into stock because they stay in our yard for months at a time and eventually have to be thrown or sold for second hand rates. We will always endeavour to get the manufacturers to accept these goods back into stock but often they will not and if they do, their handling charge can be as much as 50%.

If you are unsure as to whether an item you are going to order is ‘current stock’ please check at time of ordering.

Import Duty

Goods dispatched to other countries outside of the EU may be liable to Import Duty, Tax or VAT. When ordering from us you agree to pay any such Duties which may be imposed by your country's government.
If you refuse to pay any Import Duty / Tax / VAT imposed and thereby prevent delivery of your order you will remain liable for the purchase price of the product/s and any Import Duty / Tax / VAT or penalty imposed by your government.

Title for Consumers

Title in any products ordered from us does not pass to you, the purchaser until we have received and processed a valid payment, and that payment has been made into our own bank account and your order has been shipped.

Title for Business Orders

The Products are at your risk from the time of delivery. Ownership of the Products shall not pass to you until we have received in full (in cash or cleared funds) all sums due to us in respect of: the Products; and all other sums which are or which become due to us from you on any account. We shall be entitled to recover payment for the Products even though ownership of any of the Products has not passed from us.

Until ownership of the Products has passed to you, you must:

  • store the Products (at no cost to us) separately from all your other products and products of any third party in such a way that they remain readily identifiable as our property; and
  • not destroy, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Products; maintain the Products in satisfactory condition and keep them insured on our behalf for their full price against all risks

Your right to possession of the Products shall terminate immediately if:

  • you have a bankruptcy order made against you or make an arrangement or composition with your creditors, or otherwise take the benefit of any statutory provision for the time being in force for the relief of insolvent debtors, or (being a body corporate) convene a meeting of creditors (whether formal or informal), or enter into liquidation (whether voluntary or compulsory) except a solvent voluntary liquidation for the purpose only of reconstruction or amalgamation, or have a receiver and/or manager, administrator or administrative receiver appointed of its undertaking or any part thereof, or a resolution is passed or a petition presented to any court for your winding up or for the granting of an administration order in respect of you, or any proceedings are commenced relating to your insolvency or possible insolvency or we have reason to believe that any of the above are likely to occur; or
  • you suffer or allow any execution, whether legal or equitable, to be levied on your property or obtained against you or you are unable to pay your debts within the meaning of section 123 of the Insolvency Act 1986 or you cease to trade; or
  • you encumber or in any way change any of the Products.

You grant to us, our agents and employees an irrevocable licence at any time to enter any premises where the Products are or may be stored in order to inspect them, or, where your right of possession has terminated, to recover them.

Faulty Product, Damaged, or Dead on Arrival

Please note that any products returned to us which you claim to be defective will be checked and verified by our technicians. Any returned products that are not found to be defective will be returned to you and we shall charge you for the returned transport costs via your original payment method or hold the product until full payment has been received by us for the return transport costs.

If you notify a problem to us under this condition, our only obligation will be, at your option:

  • to make good any shortage or non-delivery;
  • to replace or repair any goods that are damaged or defective; or
  • to refund to you the amount paid by you for the goods in question in whatever way we choose.

Save as precluded by law, we will not be liable to you for any indirect or consequential loss, damage or expenses (including loss of profits, business or goodwill) howsoever arising out of any problem you notify to us under this condition and we shall have no liability to pay any money to you by way of compensation other than to refund to you the amount paid by you for the goods in question as above.

Limitation of Liability

The Company will not be liable to you for any loss or damage in circumstances where:

  • There is no breach of a legal duty owed to you by the supplier or by its employees or agents;
  • Such loss or damage is not a reasonably foreseeable result of any such breach;
  • Any increase in loss or damage resulting from breach by you of any term of this contract.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these terms and conditions is intended to limit any rights you might have as a consumer under applicable local law or other statutory rights that may not be excluded nor in any way to exclude or limit our liability to you for any death or personal injury resulting from our negligence.
