What information we collect

We only collect the information we need. This may include:

  • Contact details you give us: your name, email address, telephone number and postal address when you email or phone us, ask for a quote or become a customer.
  • Project information: details about your property and the work you would like done, which you share with us so we can prepare a quote or carry out the work.
  • Payment and invoicing details: if you become a customer, the information needed to invoice you and receive payment.
  • Technical information: when you visit the website, our web server and security software automatically record limited technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested. This is used to keep the site secure and working properly.

How we use your information and our lawful basis

  • To respond to your enquiry and provide quotes – because you have asked us to take these steps before entering into a contract (contract).
  • To carry out and manage building work for you, including invoicing and aftercare – to perform our contract with you (contract).
  • To keep business and financial records – to meet our legal obligations, for example tax and accounting rules (legal obligation).
  • To keep this website secure and protect it from misuse – our legitimate interest in running a safe website (legitimate interests).
  • To tell you about our services – only where you have agreed to this, and you can opt out at any time (consent).

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making or profiling.

Who we share your information with

We only share your information where it is needed, with:

  • our website hosting and IT providers, who store the website and its data on our behalf;
  • our accountants, banks and professional advisers, where needed for our business records and payments;
  • subcontractors or suppliers working on your project, only the details they need to do their part of the work;
  • authorities such as HMRC, the police or a court, where we are required to by law.

Anyone who handles personal information for us must keep it secure and use it only for the purpose we have given them.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiry details for up to 3 years in case you come back to us, unless you ask us to delete them sooner. Customer and financial records are kept for 6 years after the end of the tax year in which the work was completed, as required for tax and legal purposes. Website security logs are kept for a short period (normally no more than 60 days).
