For refrigerators and freezers, please defrost and wipe dry your current appliance priot to arrival.

Health and Safety

We strive to provide a first class service, but should the delivery personnel feel that damage could be incurred to the product, your property or themselves, they may refuse to complete or undertake the delivery or installation.
We reserve the right to refuse to collect any item we believe constitutes a health and safety risk to our employees, or anyone working on our behalf.

Additional Notes

Under certain ambient temperature conditions cooling appliances such as fridges, freezers and fridge-freezers and appliances that use heat pump technology may not function properly, particularly when placed in a cold environment.
Door reversals are time consuming and require plenty of space to carry them out and so will normally be undertaken prior to delivery; this means that your appliance may not be delivered in a box.
