The right, where there is a dispute in relation to the accuracy or processing of your personal data, to request a restriction is placed on further processing;
The right to object to the processing of personal data, (where applicable i.e. where processing is based on legitimate interests (or the performance of a task in the public interest/exercise of official authority); direct marketing and processing for the purposes of scientific/historical research and statistics).
The data that we collect from you may be electronically transferred to, and electronically stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA").

By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.
We use automation for many of our financial and accounting processes including invoicing and payment reminders which invoices automated changes to our database records and the sending of emails. We have automated systems that generate invoices, sort batches, apply payments and send out invoices and reminder letters. Decisions of serious consequence (i.e. proceeding to a court claim over an unpaid amount) are always taken by a human. We are happy to discuss our use of automation with customers and exclude them if requested and deemed necessary.
If we wish to use your personal data for a new purpose, not covered by this Data Privacy Notice, then we will provide you with a new notice explaining this new use prior to commencing the processing and setting out the relevant purposes and processing conditions.
Any changes we may make to our privacy policy in the future will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you by e-mail. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to our privacy policy.

In view of the variety of work that the Supplier does, the Supplier has special conditions which relate to particular work. These Special Conditions are attached at Schedule 1.
(1) Extended guarantees and PGS expertCare are subject to separate Terms and Conditions and subject to conditions contained within those Terms and Conditions, such as an annual boiler service by the Supplier and ensuring satisfactory water cleanliness.
(2) In addition to any applicable Consumer’s and/or statutory rights, the Customer is entitled to the benefit of any manufacturer’s warranty in relation to parts supplied and any other guarantee specified on the Proposal in relation to products and/or Services. Most Services are guaranteed to be free from defects in workmanship for a period of 100 days from the date that they Services were supplied provided that the Supplier’s recommendations have been followed by the Customer. For example, as applicable, where the Customer insists on a “temporary fix” or does not have necessary accompanying work such as a powerflush, work and materials will not be subject to any guarantee. At the Supplier’s discretion guaranteed Products or work will be repaired or replaced.
(3) If the Products or Services do not comply with the Proposal or are faulty, then the Customer should notify the Supplier in writing by email or to the Trading address in clause 1(8) within 14 days of such non-compliance or fault. The Supplier will advise the Customer of the next course of action and will, at their sole discretion:-
(a) for Products – provide the Customer with replacement Products, or where a replacement is not available, with a refund. The Supplier will provide replacements which they deem equal to value, quality and performance as the products which are being replaced.
(b) for Services – rectify the problem or provide the Customer with a refund.

The Supplier will not be liable for any third party charges unless expressly authorised by the Supplier in writing.(4) The Customer must adhere to the terms specified in any warranty or guarantee and this entire Clause will not apply if a fault arises due to:
(a) abnormal use or working conditions, failure to follow instructions, misuse, alteration or unauthorised repair, wilful damage, improper or irregular maintenance or negligence on the part of the Customer or a third party; or
(b) any subsequent mechanical, chemical, electrolytic or other damage after risk has passed to the Customer, which is not due to a defect in the Services and/or Products.
(1) Consumers (but not business customers) have cancellation rights under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, in relations to certain agreements. If a Customer to whom these rights apply wishes to cancel Services and products which have been ordered in a Proposal then they must contact the Supplier in writing by email or to the Trading address in clause 1(8) within 8 days of the date of the Proposal. However, where the Customer has already agreed that the Supplier can start to supply Services or obtain Products then the Customer waives any cancellation or refund rights under legislation.
(2) If one party commits a material breach of these Terms and Conditions and Agreement between them and either:
(a) the breach is not capable of being remedied, or;
(b) where it is capable of being remedied, the breach has not been remedied within 30 days of written notice of the breach by the party who has not committed the breach, then the party who has not committed the breach may terminate the Agreement between them forthwith by written notice to the other party.
(3) Other than as provided for elsewhere in these Terms and Conditions, Proposal or in this Clause, either party may terminate the Agreement between them (as regards some or all of the Services) at any time for any reason, by giving to the other 14 days’ written notice. Any payment which is due for Products and Services supplied up to the date of termination remains payable. Any payment already made for Products and Services supplied up to the date of termination is non-refundable.
(4) Any Agreement will automatically terminate if either party, as applicable, passes a resolution for winding up (other than for the purpose of solvent amalgamation or reconstruction) or a court of competent jurisdiction makes an order to that effect, ceases to carry on its business or substantially the whole of its business, or is declared insolvent, or convenes a meeting of or makes or proposes to make any arrangement or composition with its creditors; or a liquidator, receiver, administrative receiver, manager, trustee or similar officer is appointed over any of its assets.
(1) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall exclude or limit the Supplier’s liability for death or personal injury resulting from the negligence of the Supplier or their employees or agents.
(2) The Supplier shall never be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage, including any economic loss or loss of profit or business whatsoever suffered by the Customer or any third party howsoever caused, including as a result of any negligence, breach of contract, misrepresentation or otherwise.
(3) Time limits provided are estimates only and time shall not be of the essence and the Supplier shall incur no liability to the Customer in respect of any failure to complete the Services by any agreed completion date.

The Customer will indemnify the Supplier against all claims, costs and expenses which the Supplier may incur and which arise, directly or indirectly, from the Customer’s breach of any of its obligations under these Terms and Conditions and Agreement, including any claims brought against the Supplier alleging that any Products and/or Services manufactured/designed according to the Customer’s specification and provided by the Supplier in accordance with the Proposal infringes any rights whatsoever of any third party.
The Supplier shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any of its obligations if the delay or failure results from events or circumstances outside its reasonable control including, but not limited to, acts of God, accidents, war, fire, strikes, lock outs, failure of any communications including telecommunications or computer systems, breakdown of plant or machinery or shortage or unavailability of raw materials from a natural source of supply, and the Supplier shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of its obligations.
(1) Any Notices or either party must be sent by e-mail, or to the address which appears on the Proposal.
(2) Unless the contrary is proved, Notices sent by e-mail will be deemed to be received on the day on which they were sent.
(3) Notices being served by post must be served using Royal Mail Special Delivery or other guarantee services and will be deemed to have been received on the date that Royal Mail obtains a record of receipt from or on behalf of the addressee.
(1) Nothing in these Terms and Conditions and no express or implied waiver by the Supplier in enforcing any of its rights under any contract shall prejudice its rights to do so in the future.
(2) Each clause or any part at all of these Terms and Conditions and Agreement is to be regarded as independent of the others. This means that should any clause or any part at all of these Terms and Conditions and Agreement be found to be unenforceable or invalid, it will be severed and will not affect the enforceability or validity of the rest of these Terms and Conditions.
(3) Save as expressly provided in these terms neither party may, without the prior written consent of the other, assign, transfer, charge, license or otherwise dispose of any rights or obligations under the Agreement.
(4) These Terms and Conditions and Agreement shall be interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with English law and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
In view of the variety of work that the Supplier does, the Supplier has special conditions which relate to particular work. These Special Conditions are as follows:
(a) For hourly rate and fixed price short duration work Customers book appointments on an am (8am to 1pm) or pm (midday to 5pm) basis. The Supplier will call ahead to the Customer, or third party representative, to confirm they are present and able to grant access. The Supplier may decline to attend an appointment without this confirmation in place.(b) Specific first appointments (Operatives arrive between 8am and 9am) can sometimes be allocated on a discretionary basis, but timing cannot be guaranteed. If a Customer is ultimately scheduled as a first appointment, The Supplier will endeavour to let them know the day before.
(c) For Customers who wish to cancel or postpone an appointment where work has been agreed either at a fixed price or in accordance with an hourly rate, the following will apply:-
(i) Providing that the Customer telephones the Supplier on 0800 043 5911 (or other applicable phone number) before 5pm, on or before the previous working day to the scheduled appointment, then no labour charges will apply.
(ii) If the Customer cancels or postpones after this time, or is not able to grant access to the Supplier’s Operative (if they attend within the agreed time frames) then an administration charge up to the equivalent of 60 minutes labour at the prevailing rate will be applied.
(d) The Supplier may need to postpone a booked appointment due to reasons beyond its control. In these instances it will re-schedule the appointment as soon as conveniently possible for both parties.
(a) The Supplier’s initial visit is designed to investigate, advise and usually apply the first treatment. At that point the Supplier’s Operative can also usually quote for a suitable treatment plan should any further work be required.
(b) On the first visit the Supplier may need to agree further charges for that day, should the Customer wish to proceed with quoted works (e.g. if they want a whole house sprayed for bedbugs etc.).
When repairing appliances and systems there is often a process of sequential diagnosis. Part/s may need to be replaced before the appliances or systems can be effectively tested for other faults. As works progress Customers may wish to request that the Supplier provides a quote for replacing/upgrading appliances or systems. This request must be submitted in writing. The Supplier is willing to survey and quote for this work, where feasibly possible. The Supplier cannot be held responsible for costs of repair work incurred in advance of the Customer's decision to replace/upgrade an appliance or system.
(a) The Supplier’s Operative carry some van stock, but the Supplier cannot guarantee they will be carrying specific part/s required unless a Customer provides comprehensive details and pays a deposit in advance either for an hour’s labour or for an agreed collection charge and the cost of the parts in full. In this instance part details and initial fault diagnosis are the Customer’s liability.
(b) Should the Supplier be unable to fit Customer supplied or Customer recommended parts, or the Customer refuses to have parts supplied by the Supplier (previously accepted as required) fitted, the return of parts carries a re-stocking charge of up to 30%, providing the parts can be returned without penalty to the parts supplier, otherwise up to 100% of the charges may be retained.
(c) The Supplier charges labour time (capped at 1 hour) to collect parts. If the Supplier’s operative needs to leave site to collect parts the Customer must pay a deposit for the labour up until that point (minimum 1 hour) and the full price of parts.
(d) If the location of the parts is such that it would likely take the Supplier more than a 60 minute round trip to collect parts, but the Customer still wishes the Supplier to collect parts straight away, then additional travel time may apply.
(a) Gas Pressure
In the unlikely event of issues relating to the gas pressure or the water pressure arise, the Supplier cannot be held responsible and additional charges may apply. Please note the Supplier cannot register the Customer’s boiler with the manufacturer or the Gas Safe Register unless the Supplier’s final tests show the required gas pressures are in place. Working gas pressures are rarely tested at the point of the Supplier’s initial survey because if upon inspection an appliance in the property needs to be isolated or capped, it is unlikely that the Supplier will be in a position to diagnose and carry out any urgent remedial work, which the Supplier’s engineers who are carrying out the installation may be better placed to carry out during the Customer’s installation.
(b) Powerflush advice
(i) It is not possible to inspect a system internally before commencement of work, and the need to use a flushing and dispersing chemical for effective cleansing means that occasionally the Supplier may find leaks which have been neglected over a period of time, or the system has not been treated with an effective corrosion inhibitor and/or may have severely compacted corrosion debris in the pipe work or radiators. It is possible that even after the powerflush, some radiators may still not be fully effective and radiators and/or pipework may still contain blockages. (ii) During the powerflush procedure radiators are individually flushed without removal or disconnection from the system. Radiator valves will have to be turned on and off a number of times to isolate each radiator. Radiator valves, particularly those that have not been used for long periods of time, may leak or snap when turned. (iii) Whilst it is rare for a heating system to experience any of these issues after the powerflushing process it is better that they occur whilst the Supplier is present to remedy any problems. (iv) By proceeding with the installation as described in this document the Customer agrees not to hold the Supplier liable if any of these problems occur and the Customer accepts that in some instances there may be additional costs to repair or replace pipework, radiators and valves that were not previously known to be faulty and therefore not included in any fixed price quote.
(c) Hot water cylinders
When attempting to replace a faulty immersion element in a hot water cylinder, some elements can be stuck fast and require excessive force to remove, sometimes resulting in a damaged or split cylinder, causing the cylinder to require replacement. The Supplier cannot be held liable for this consequential damage and the charges up to that point for parts and labour will stand, even if the cylinder needs to be replaced.
(d) Drains
Due to the nature of the work all drainage work is not guaranteed
(e) PGS 10 year boiler guaranteeWhere available, the extended guarantee will be offered in the Proposal and to receive the full benefits of the extended guarantee the following Terms and Conditions must be adhered to or any claim may be rejected.
(i) This guarantee cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or promotion from the Supplier, whose decision regarding guarantee claims is final. The Supplier’s extended guarantee is not an insurance backed product and will cease if the Supplier ceases to trade (see clause 12(4) of the Terms and Conditions).
(ii) The extended guarantee applies to the boiler components only, it does not apply to other system components e.g. thermostats, time clocks, motorised valves etc. The guarantee applies to the boiler at the installation address and is not transferable with a change of the homeowner.
(iii) For the purpose of the extended guarantee the Supplier must fit a magnetic filtration unit at the time of installation, unless it is not reasonably feasible to do so. The magnetic filter must be present and maintained throughout the guarantee period.
(iv) The Benchmark log book must be completed by the Supplier at point of installation and retained on site by the owner/occupier for inspection during any engineer visit.
(v) There is no provision within the guarantee period for the Supplier to re-visit to educate the Customer with regards to the working of the appliance and associated controls. Any visits relating to this are liable to be charged at the prevailing discounted labour rate.

(ii) The Customer is responsible for the full cost of servicing which is not included in the Proposal (i.e. is not included in the price of the boiler). The costs of servicing is the price provided by the Supplier at the time of providing the service and is payable in advance by debit or credit card. Service details must be recorded in the Benchmark logbook which must be available for inspection.(iii) Whilst the Supplier will use its best endeavours to contact the Customer to arrange a service approximately 12 months after installation and each 12 months thereafter, scheduling and arranging servicing remains the Customer’s sole responsibility. (iv) Servicing will be booked and scheduled in advance (am or pm slots on a standard weekday see Clause (1) of these Special Conditions) in accordance with the Supplier’s Terms and Conditions and the Supplier’s booking system at the time the service is booked by the customer.
(v) No components require routine replacement at every service. If a component does need replacing, it will be covered by the warranty.
(vi) The Customer retains the right to have their boiler serviced annually by another Gas Safe registered company and avail of any standard manufacturer warranties (typically 5-7 years depending on the make and model of the appliance), but forego the PGS extended guarantee.
(g) Water
(i) Water quality must meet the required manufacturer standards at the time of installation and throughout the lifetime of the guarantee period.
(ii) At the time of installation the Supplier will test system water and may insist a full system powerflush is conducted before the Supplier extended guarantee can be applied.

(iii) If any failure is caused by contaminated water in the system any engineer visit becomes chargeable.
(iv) Deterioration in system water due to suspected third party interference, inherent system faults or simply over time, may require system upgrades (e.g. chemicals added, corroded pipework replaced, or a full system powerflush) in order to achieve and maintain the necessary standard of system water. Any work of this nature is not included in an annual service and is chargeable. This further work can be quoted for upon request at the Supplier’s standard prevailing rates.
(h) Further works
(i) If a third company is commissioned to carry out recommended further works, the Supplier reserves the right to conduct a chargeable visit, equivalent to one hour’s labour, at the prevailing discounted labour rate for a regular customer, in order to conduct the necessary tests to confirm the system upgrade is satisfactory.
(ii) If the system is drained down by a third party in between servicing, industry approved inhibitor must be added.
(i) Failure
(i) The manufacturer must be used directly for warranty callouts for all failures throughout any initial manufacturer warranty periods, as per their terms and conditions.
(ii) All non-boiler or external system fault calls will be charged to the Customer and could also invalidate any guarantee.
(iii) For calls requested to boilers within the guarantee period a refundable deposit may be required; returned in full if the diagnosed fault is covered by the boiler guarantee.
(iv) If the appliance fails outside of the manufacturer’s warranty period and is deemed beyond economical repair, replacing the appliance is not included in the extended guarantee. A free discounted quote for a like-for-like replacement can be provided by the Supplier upon request.
(a) In the case of wildlife control the Supplier’s operatives will advise on any known entry points of animals to assist the Customer with preventing repeat intrusion.
(b) Due to the nature of the work the Supplier’s pest control services can carry no guarantees. In some instances of pest control repeat visit/s may be necessary to ensure treatment is effective and to reassess or reapply measures or remove equipment and baits or poisons previously deployed.
