What information we collect

We may collect and process the following types of personal data:

• Contact and enquiry details — such as your name, email address, telephone number, postal address or project address, and any information you include when you contact us or request a quote.
• Project information — details about the work you are interested in, site details, photographs and any correspondence relating to your project.
• Technical and usage data — including your IP address, browser type and version, device information, pages you visit, and how you use our site. This is collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies (see "Cookies and analytics" below).

How we use your information

We use your personal data to:

• respond to your enquiries and provide quotes;
• arrange site visits and carry out and manage the work you have asked us to do;
• communicate with you about your project, including invoicing and payment schedules;
• keep records for our legitimate business, accounting and legal purposes;
• improve our website and understand how visitors use it.

Our legal basis for processing

Under UK data protection law, we rely on the following legal bases:

• Consent — for non-essential cookies and analytics, and where you have otherwise agreed to us contacting you.
• Contract — where processing is necessary to provide a quote or carry out work you have engaged us to do.
• Legitimate interests — to respond to enquiries, run and improve our business, and keep appropriate records, provided your rights do not override these interests.
• Legal obligation — where we must keep records for tax, accounting or other legal requirements.

Cookies and analytics

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help the site function and help us understand how it is used.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our site — such as which pages are most popular, how long visitors stay, and the type of device and browser used. This helps us improve the website. Google Analytics sets cookies and may collect your IP address and usage data. Google processes this information on our behalf; for more information see Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses data.

We only set non-essential cookies, including analytics cookies, where you have given your consent through our cookie banner. You can accept or decline these cookies at any time, and you can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the website works.

Who we share your information with

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with:

• Service providers who help us run our business and website, such as our web developer, hosting provider and analytics providers (including Google), who process data on our behalf under appropriate agreements;
• Suppliers and subcontractors where necessary to carry out your project;
• Professional advisers and authorities where required by law, such as HMRC, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

International transfers

Some of our providers, such as Google, may process data outside the UK. Where data is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure it is protected by appropriate safeguards, such as UK-approved standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision.

How long we keep your information

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy. Enquiry information that does not lead to work is normally kept for a limited period and then deleted. Records relating to completed projects and financial transactions are kept for as long as required to meet our legal, accounting and warranty obligations.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you;
• ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data;
• ask us to delete your data in certain circumstances;
• restrict or object to our processing of your data;
• request the transfer of your data (data portability);
• withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details above. We will respond within the timescales required by law.

How we protect your data

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to keep your personal data secure and to protect it against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your information as far as reasonably possible.

Complaints

If you have concerns about how we handle your personal data, please contact us first so we can try to resolve the matter. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator, at www.ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.
