You have a 14 day "cooling off period" as explained elsewhere in this document. Most items also have guarantees, such as 90 days, 12 months, as specified in the catalogue. If the catalogue just says "guarantee" this means guaranteed 90 days from dispatch date.

This guarantee is in addition to, and does not affect, your legal rights in relation to the Goods that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

Claims for valves that have been misused or operated outside the limits which as stated on the manufacturer’s data sheet will not be considered for replacement/refund.

We like to treat our customers well , we have hundreds of customers who return time and time again.

We appreciate all orders from our valued customers. All claims will be considered sympathetically as possible
