Terms & Conditions

Please read these terms carefully before engaging our services.

Last updated: July 2026

These terms and conditions apply to all services provided by Pro-seal Developments, registered at 41 Woodham Drive, Sunderland, SR2 0FA. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected] or call 07842 209498.

1. Introduction

These terms and conditions govern the provision of construction, renovation, and related services by Pro-seal Developments ('we', 'us', 'our') to our clients ('you'). By engaging our services, you agree to be bound by these terms. These terms apply to all contracts for works unless otherwise agreed in writing.

2. Our Services

We provide construction and building services including renovations and extensions, commercial construction, joinery, plumbing, floor fitting, and project management. The specific scope of works, timescales, and costs will be set out in a written quotation or contract provided to you before works commence. We reserve the right to decline any project at our discretion.

3. Quotations and Pricing

All quotations are valid for 30 days from the date of issue unless otherwise stated. Quotations are based on the information available at the time of assessment. If unforeseen circumstances arise during works (such as hidden structural issues or changes to the agreed scope), we will notify you promptly and provide a revised cost estimate before proceeding. We are not liable for additional costs arising from information withheld or not reasonably discoverable at the time of quotation.

4. Payment Terms

Payment terms will be set out in your contract. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, a deposit may be required before works commence. Stage payments may apply for larger projects. Final payment is due upon practical completion of the works. We reserve the right to charge interest on overdue invoices at 8% above the Bank of England base rate under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.

5. Variations and Changes

Any changes to the agreed scope of works must be agreed in writing before they are carried out. Verbal instructions will not be accepted as authorisation for variations. Additional costs arising from agreed variations will be invoiced separately. We will provide written confirmation of any variation and its cost impact before proceeding.

6. Timescales

Estimated start and completion dates are provided in good faith but are not guaranteed. Delays may arise due to weather conditions, supply chain issues, unforeseen site conditions, or other factors beyond our reasonable control. We will keep you informed of any significant delays and work to minimise disruption. Time shall not be of the essence unless expressly agreed in writing.

7. Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for ensuring we have safe and unobstructed access to the site during agreed working hours. You must provide accurate information about the property, including any known structural issues, utilities, or hazards. You are responsible for obtaining any necessary building regulations approvals, or other consents unless we have expressly agreed to manage this on your behalf.

8. Defects and Workmanship

We warrant that all works will be carried out with reasonable skill and care in accordance with good industry practice. Any defects arising from our workmanship that are reported to us within 12 months of practical completion will be remedied at no additional charge, provided the defect is not caused by misuse, neglect, or third-party interference. This warranty does not affect your statutory rights.

9. Liability

Our total liability to you in connection with any contract shall not exceed the total value of that contract. We shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, or economic losses including loss of profit, loss of use, or loss of opportunity. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

10. Insurance

We maintain appropriate public liability insurance and employers' liability insurance. Details of our insurance cover are available on request. You are advised to ensure your own property insurance is in place and up to date before works commence.

11. Termination

Either party may terminate the contract by giving written notice if the other party is in material breach of these terms and fails to remedy that breach within 14 days of written notice. In the event of termination, you will be liable to pay for all works completed and materials ordered up to the date of termination. We reserve the right to suspend works if payments are not made in accordance with the agreed terms.

12. Dispute Resolution

In the event of a dispute, we encourage you to contact us in the first instance to seek an amicable resolution. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, either party may refer the matter to a mutually agreed mediator before pursuing legal proceedings. These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

13. Privacy and Data

We collect and process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection legislation including the UK GDPR. Your personal data will be used to manage your project, communicate with you, and fulfil our contractual obligations. We will not share your data with third parties except where necessary to deliver our services or where required by law. For more information, please contact us at [email protected].

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version in force at the time you engage our services will apply to your contract. We will notify you of any material changes before they take effect.
