SUMMARY

PLEASE INSPECT ALL PRODUCTS WITHIN 48 HOURS OF DELIVERY AND KEEP ALL PACKAGING SAFE AND IN GOOD CONDITION FOR 30 DAYS.
 

DELIVERY DATES AND LEAD TIMES 
are given in good faith and may be subject to change on occasion due to circumstances beyond our control. We do advise customers to have orders delivered in the week proceeding, or the week commencing the date that install begins. This gives ample time to check all items are present, correct, and undamaged, whilst also allowing time for any unexpected delivery delays and allowing Bowman’s Kitchens & Bathrooms to rectify any problems. Bowman’s Kitchens & Bathrooms are not responsible for delays to installation due to Goods, Design or Install not being ordered or checked before fitting the products.

DELIVERY 
Bowman’s Kitchens & Bathrooms offers a delivery service. Standard delivery orders are ‘Kerbside’ only, delivered via our own delivery service and require an able-bodied person to receive the delivery and to move and sign for the Goods. If the customer is unable to receive the Goods, it is best to arrange delivery after Install has commenced so our on-site team can assist. The customer is responsible for accessibility to the delivery address and must report any access problems prior to delivery.

COLOUR MATCH 
Colour match is as exact as the manufacturing process and materials allow and must be checked before installation. Woods are natural materials and therefore will have grain and colour difference. Tiles, ceramics, and acrylics have different light characteristics and will appear slightly different in certain lighting conditions to others.

CAD DRAWINGS & TILE LAYOUTS/QUANTITIES 
are given as a guide only and final checks will be made by our installers prior to installation. Bowman’s Kitchens & Bathrooms agrees do everything reasonably expected to prevent incorrect measurements.
