Information we collect

  • Your name, email address, phone number and company name, where supplied.
  • Project details, locations, drawings, specifications, supporting files and shared-folder links.
  • Your enquiries, instructions and other communications with us.
  • Your email address and preferences if you ask to receive updates.
  • Technical information such as your IP address, browser, device and cookie choices.

How we use it

  • To respond to enquiries, discuss scope and prepare estimates or proposals.
  • To deliver our services and manage our working relationship.
  • To keep business, accounting and legal records.
  • To protect and improve our website and services.
  • To send occasional updates only where we have permission. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Our lawful bases

We use personal information only where we have a lawful reason. Depending on the situation, this may be:

  • Contract: to take steps you ask us to take before entering a contract, or to provide an agreed service.
  • Legitimate interests: to answer business enquiries, operate our services, keep the website secure and improve how we work, where your rights do not override those interests.
  • Legal obligation: where we must keep or disclose information to meet a legal requirement.
  • Consent: for optional cookies and marketing communications. You can withdraw consent at any time.

Who we share information with

We may use trusted providers for website hosting, enquiry forms, file storage, email, analytics and cookie consent. They receive only the information needed to provide those services.

We may also share information with professional advisers or public authorities where required by law. We do not sell personal information.

International services

Some service providers may process information outside the UK. Where this happens, we use providers and safeguards intended to protect your information in line with UK data protection law.

How long we keep it

We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, including to meet accounting, legal or contractual requirements.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure. No online service can guarantee complete security, but we review how information is handled and limit access where practical.

Automated decisions

We do not make solely automated decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may ask us to:

  • give you a copy of your information;
  • correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • delete or restrict the use of your information;
  • transfer information you provided in a portable format; or
  • withdraw consent at any time.

Your right to object

You may object to our use of your information where we rely on legitimate interests, and you can always object to direct marketing.
