We do not collect any other personal information through this website. We do not use analytics, advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or marketing tools on this site.
3. How We Collect Information
We collect the personal information listed above only when you voluntarily submit an enquiry form on this website. We do not collect personal information automatically through analytics or tracking technologies.
When you visit our website, your browser may share limited technical data (such as IP address and browser type) with our hosting provider as part of the normal operation of the website. This is necessary for the site to function and is not used to track or profile you.
4. Why We Collect Information and Our Lawful Basis
We use the information you provide to:
• Respond to your enquiry and provide the information you have requested
• Prepare quotes and estimates for potential projects
• Arrange site visits and carry out contracted works
• Contact you about your enquiry or project
Our lawful basis for processing your personal data is our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the UK GDPR) — specifically, the legitimate interest of responding to your enquiry and conducting our business. We do not use your information for marketing or advertising, and we do not send promotional communications unless you separately request them.
5. Who We Share Your Information With
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share your enquiry information only as follows:
• Your enquiry is sent by email to our internal company email address ([DOMAIN EMAIL]) so that our team can respond to you.
• Our website is hosted on the Base44 platform, and enquiry emails are delivered through Base44's email service. Base44 acts as a processor on our behalf and does not use your data for its own purposes.
• We may disclose your information where required by law or to protect our legal rights.
6. Data Retention
We retain enquiry data for as long as necessary to respond to your request and for a reasonable period thereafter in case of follow-up. If no project proceeds, we typically retain enquiry data for up to 12 months after our last contact with you. If we are engaged to carry out works, we retain contract-related data for the duration of the contract and for six years thereafter, as required by law, accounting, and tax regulations.
If you would like us to delete your enquiry data sooner, you may request this at any time using the contact details in Section 1, and we will action your request in line with your data protection rights.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. Enquiry submissions are transmitted securely through our platform provider. Access to enquiry data is limited to authorised members of our team.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. International Transfers
Our website is hosted on the Base44 platform. Base44 may process or store data in locations outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure your data is protected to UK standards, including standard contractual clauses or other transfer mechanisms recognised under UK data protection law.
The only personal data that may be transferred in this way is the information you submit through the enquiry form. We do not transfer any other personal data outside the UK.
