All warranty claims must first be approved by us at a Head Office level. Please note all stores are unable to confirm warranty inclusions or decisions on warranties, and any queries will be referred to our customer service department in the first instance.
Our standard warranty terms are below and apply for domestic use general situations only. Products used for commercial or business purposes may not be covered. However all warranty claims are treated on a case by case basis and we do our best to provide a resolution.
If goods are not faulty
We may decline a warranty claim if the fault has been caused by damage or misuse of the item, including improper assembly, modifications, negligent use or operation, inadequate maintenance, damage caused by re-location, use outside of recommended conditions, unauthorized repairs, and storm damage. Further limitations for items like rusting maybe in place for areas with certain environmental conditions such as coastal, sea spray zone, geothermal zones.
PLEASE NOTE If the goods returned are found to not be faulty, or otherwise not in breach of the Consumers Guarantees Act upon assessment by us, goods will be able to be returned to you at your cost in addition to the return freight cost incurred in retrieving the item to us.

CONSUMERS GUARANTEES ACT
We will meet (and in fact we exceed) our obligations under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 for products purchased for personal or household use, which include:
- Acceptable quality:
- fit for their normal purposes
- acceptable in finish and appearance
- free from minor defects
- safe
- durable
- Fit for purpose, including any representations of product suitability made by us.
- Match the description, sample or demonstration model. Products are the same as the descriptions in catalogues or online. Similarly, items must match products as represented in our stores. However please bear in mind due to color photographic or printed reproductions, or computer resolution variances, differences can occur. Also, the nature of timber products mean that no two pieces are the same and variations in color, texture, grain and finish are expected and therefore are deemed acceptable.
These guarantees are in addition to any warranty offered.
The CGA does not apply where the goods have been used in a manner, or to an extent which is inconsistent with the manner or extent of use that a reasonable consumer would expect to obtain from the goods.
Please also note: if you are acquiring goods for business or commercial purposes as defined in sections 2 and 43 of the CGA, you agree that the consumer guarantees provided for in the CGA will not apply to the supply of those goods.
