Shipping and Delivery

Delivery charges will be calculated at the checkout and are dependent on the products selected for purchase. This charge is based on delivery to mainland UK (excluding the Scottish Highlands & the Islands where additional shipping charges will apply).

Each item purchased will display its own delivery schedule. While we make every effort to ensure orders are delivered by the date required, we cannot always guarantee availability from the manufacturer or the manufacturer's delivery schedules.

Any variation to web delivery date given will be advised to you by email or telephone. If we are unable to make a delivery because access is not possible, we reserve the right to make a failed delivery charge.

We are strong believers in providing our customer with the best value for money and feel that hiding the transport costs in the prices of the products does not benefit the customer. Our carriage charges reflect the size and weight of your order and will always be shown separately at the checkout

All of our delivery charges are based on the customer being available to accept the goods. This includes, on heavier items, the ability or willingness to manually offload the goods, or having mechanical offloading facilities available (such as a forklift truck). Crane-off or tail-lift facilities may be available on certain orders at an additional cost.

Please note that any order received after 12PM on a Friday (along with any order received over a weekend) will be processed on the Monday. All of our estimated delivery times are therefore based on a 5 day working week so please bare this in mind when ordering.

Skyseal utilises national carriers and national pallet distribution networks as well as manufacturers own transport.

Restricted Access

We reserve the right to refuse to make a delivery if you have not informed us prior to delivery of any access restrictions.

We consider restricted access to be if our drivers encounter double yellow lines, a red route, narrow lanes, steep hills, low bridges, or width restricted roads. Please send an email to office@skyseal.co.uk to discuss delivery if you have restricted access.

We currently only offer deliveries to mainland UK. If you require delivery to locations outside of mainland please call us on 024 76 707700

Split Deliveries

We try to dispatch most of our products from our Coventry distribution centre but some of the goods you order may come to you direct from the manufacturer resulting in your order being delivered separately. Depending on stock availability,

Some orders may be split into more than one delivery so you are not kept waiting for those items immediately available.

If we become aware of stock difficulties, which will affect delivery timescales, we will let you know by telephone or email.

Delivery Instructions

Please let us know at the time of ordering if you would like to give any specific delivery requests by entering the relevant 'Special Instructions in the box provided.

Accepting Your Delivery

Please check your goods thoroughly before signing for them.

If any part of your delivery is damaged or faulty please contact us by telephone on 024 76 707700 or email office@skyseal.co.uk

Do not accept damaged products. Orders signed for as “unchecked” will be deemed to have been received in good condition unless we have been notified within 24hrs of delivery

As soon as the order has been delivered to your requested delivery address, the risk of any damage or loss passes to you.

    8. Your rights to end the contract
      1. You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:
        1. If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 11;
        2. If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 8.2;
        3. If you have just changed your mind about the product, see clause 8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods;

      2. Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (c) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation.

        1. we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
        2. there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control; 
        3. you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong. 
      3. Exercising your right to change your mind (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). For most products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days (but we allow you to change your mind within 30 days) and receive a refund.  These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms. 
      4. When you don't have the right to change your mind. You do not have a right to change your mind in respect of products that are:
        1. cut to size;
        2. custom made to order such as bespoke skylights and lanterns; or
        3. sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them
      5. How long do I have to change my mind? You have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery to change your mind about the goods.
      6. Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see clause 8.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for goods is completed when the product is delivered and paid for. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you have not changed your mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) a re-stocking charge of 35% of the price as compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of you ending the contract.
    9. How to end the contract with us (including if you have changed your mind)
      1. Tell us you want to end the contract. To end the contract with us, please let us know by either using the telephone number or email form on our website.

      3. When we will pay the costs of return. We will pay the costs of return (provided we nominate the carrier):
        1. if the products are faulty, misdescribed or unsuitable substitution; or

        2. if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong.
          In all other circumstances (including where you are exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return. 

      4. What we charge for collection. If you are responsible for the costs of return and we are collecting the product from you, we will charge you (or deduct from any refund) the direct cost to us. 
      5. How we will refund you. If you are entitled to a refund, we will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.
      6. Deductions from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind: 
        1. We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount. 
        2. The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
      7. When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible.  
    10. Our rights to end the contract
      1. We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if:
        1. you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within 3 days of us reminding you that payment is due;
        2. you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products; or
        3. you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you or collect them from us. 
      2. You must compensate us if you break the contract. If we end the contract in the situations set out in clause 10.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.
    11. If there is a problem with the product
      1. How to tell us about problems. If you have any questions or complaints about the product, please contact us by using the telephone numbers or email form on our website. 
      2. Your obligation to return rejected products. If you wish to exercise your legal rights to reject products you must either return them in person to where you bought them, post them back to us or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. We will pay the costs of postage or collection provided in the case of collection that we nominate the carrier. Please use the telephone numbers or email form on our website to ask for a return label or to arrange a collection.
    12. Price and payment
      1. Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 12.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order. 
      2. We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
      3. What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check liabprices before accepting your order so that, where the product's correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product's correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.
      4. When you must pay and how you must pay. See our website for details.
    13. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you
      1. We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us.

Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
      2. We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987
