We do take pictures of the roof you have asked us to quote for or carry out works on at the survey stage and throughout the job.  This is to ensure we can accurately capture all the details of your roof and therefore ensure we can quote accurately for the works involved.  Some of these will be provided in your quote.

We do take pictures/video of the roof of your property, which may include other parts of your property in the picture frame too.  This is for internal staff training purposes, it may be used in promotional materials and to accompany any reviews you may leave on our website.  

When the crew are working on your roof they will be taking pictures and feeding into the office.  This allows them to update on their progress, get advice on specific details and keep a track of their personal technical development.

Payments.  Most customers choose to pay us via bank transfer through their internet banking. This works well for our customers and is preferred by us.  This also means we have no access to, or sight of your personal bank details and your agreement with your banking provider provides you with a defined level of security.  Some customers wish to pay be credit card or debit card.  We use our best endeavours to ensure our merchant is as secure as possible and again we never actually get sight of or access to any of your card details. It works the same as paying in a store or on-line and the protection if any that your banking provider offers is the same.  We don’t take cheques.
