..Damages after sign-off

..Timber & Granite Products
– Timber & Granite are natural materials and therefore colour and grain variations may occur. This is part of the beauty and nature of these materials. It should, therefore, be understood that the client accepts this possibility and that as such; no payment will be withheld, or free-of-charge replacements requested in relation to this.
..Installation Tolerances
– Where worktops abut, the maximum joint width should be 1.5mm +/- 0.5mm. Where worktops abut splash backs or vertical wall lining the joint should be a maximum of 3mm.
– Joints between splashbacks or wall lining pieces should be 1.5mm +/- 0.5mm. Where joints are to be sealant filled, these will need to be a minimum of 3mm.
– All joints should be parallel unless specified. The arises of joints at abutting stones should be free from chips, spalls, and cracks.
– Where horizontal surfaces abut and are exposed it is essential that the exposed edges of the stone be gauged so as to prevent any lipping. Where an overhang occurs, the tolerance of the protection will be dependent on the accuracy of the installation of the cupboards and cabinets below, and the manufacturing of the natural stone horizontal
surface. Notwithstanding this, the overhang dimension should not vary from that
specified by +/- 1.5mm.
– Where upstands and splashbacks are being fitted, the gap between the horizontal surfaces and the backing wall should be no greater than half the thickness of the splash back. Where no splashback is being installed, the gap should mirror the profile of the wall and be no greater than 6mm.
– Small chips at the joint edges are common in the fabrication of granite because of the relatively large crystal size. Selecting a stone that is less prone to damage can reduce the likelihood of chipping. If the customer stipulates limitations or no chipping then the use of stone may be considered inappropriate.
..Supply & Fit Contracts: Removal of Existing Furniture
– Unless a charge has been implemented in the original contract, the Client is responsible for the removal of the existing kitchen, and for providing all the relevant services to suit the new layout.
..Supply & Fit Contracts: Finishes by Client
