Our lawful basis for using your information
Where you contact us about potential work or request a quotation, we generally process the information necessary to respond to your enquiry and take steps at your request before potentially entering into a contract.
Where work is agreed, we may continue to process relevant information where necessary to perform our contract with you.
We may also process certain information where necessary to comply with our legal obligations or for legitimate business interests, provided those interests do not override your rights and interests.
How we collect your information
We primarily collect personal information directly from you when you:
- Complete our website enquiry form

- Communicate with us about a potential project
- Become a customer
Our website may also automatically process limited technical information necessary for the operation, security and performance of the site.
Who we share your information with
We do not sell your personal information.
Where necessary, information may be processed by trusted service providers that help us operate our website, communications or business systems, such as our website hosting and form-processing providers.
We may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Where a project requires coordination with other trades or suppliers, we will only share personal information where reasonably necessary for the project.
How long we keep your information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, carrying out work and meeting legal, accounting or record-keeping requirements.
Information relating to enquiries that do not proceed may be deleted when it is no longer reasonably required.
Information relating to completed work may need to be retained for longer where necessary for business, tax, accounting, warranty or legal purposes.
How we protect your information
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.
Access to personal information is limited to those who reasonably need it for the purposes described in this policy.
