BESPOKE GLASS EXPERTS IN SCARBOROUGH
Terms & Conditions
Splashbacks:
All our quotations are only valid for 30 days from date shown on paperwork. Any alterations/ additional work / effects or specialist colours different to the quotation will be at an additional cost and a new quotation will be issued making any previous quotations invalid. Additional administration charges may be applied in circumstances where a client asks for multiple quotations/quotation revisions on more than one occasion.
Templating is usually included in our service; no template appointment will be booked until the down payment has been made by the customer and is cleared funds (Please see payment terms section of our T’s and C’s). All effort is made to match colour where possible. We cannot guarantee an exact colour match to paint samples due to many factors including lighting, surface the paint has been applied to and how many coats have been applied, other strong colours within the close vicinity of the installation area and the age of any samples/swatches provided by the customer. Due to the nature of the manufacturing process the colour reproduction might vary from one batch to another or from a sample to the finished product. We cannot guarantee that the colour chosen will be a perfect match. Once order and colour are confirmed via signed form, email, text or any other form of written confirmation (including cleared funds of the down payment) colours and sizes cannot be altered. White or light colours will display a green tint due to the iron content of the glass itself; in this instance we recommend the use of Low Iron Glass which is at a premium cost. Thicker glass will display a greater tint. Imperfections in glass are a possibility due to the glass making process and the subsequent spraying. These can range from seeds and marks in the glass to dust particles in the spray finish. For light colours a dark fleck may be visible, in a dark colour light flecks may be visible. These should not be noticeable standing at a distance of two meters away from the surface as advised by The GGF (Glass and Glazing Federation) in relation to splashbacks. Seeds and bubbles are deemed acceptable in all types of glass. Digital images will be provided to the customer to be proofed prior to printing and application. Once agreed and confirmed via signed form, email, text or any other form of written confirmation as correct by the customer any changes or alterations will be chargeable. It is the responsibility of the customer to gain any relevant permission with regard to copyright and image rights. All digital images should be sourced from www.shutterstock.com or www.stock.adobe.com. Photographs taken on a mobile phone are not suitable to be used due to quality issues. Glass splashbacks behind hobs and extractors we recommend the following for safety: Gas Hobs: Position a minimum of 60mm from any naked flame. This is measured with a large pan in position and the gas set on high. Electric/ Induction/ Ceramic Hobs: Position a minimum of 100mm from edge of hob to face of glass. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure the surface onto which the glass is to be installed is sound and level. Any substrate finishes other than the advised finish cannot be guaranteed. The recommended substrate is a skimmed finish, completely dry and painted with an emulsion which should also be completely dry. Note: Plaster used with high lime content is not recommended. The use of any third-party adhesives, fillers or sealants used on the substrate prior to and after fitting is not recommended. Gekoglass takes no responsibility for the condition of said substrate surface. Splashbacks cannot be fitted directly to or adjacent to bare brick walls or over the top of existing tiles. Gekoglass us an adhesive that has been tested to ensure there are no reactions with paint and digital image products used by us. Gekoglass do not use any untested sealants or adhesives during the fitting process. When installing glass panels they should not sit directly on or against any other substance, packing/distance blocks (wood/plastic) are used. For the best finish gekoglass recommend all splashbacks are fitted using an adhesive and sealed around all edges. This gives the best overall effect and reduces the risk of moisture or dirt getting behind the glass which could cause deterioration of the customers splashback over time. The advised maximum length of a splashback is 2.5 meters due to machinery constraints. If an area is larger than this length we will discuss the various options available to the customer: please also note this will come at a premium cost. Any and all sizes provided by the customer via signed form, email, text or any other form of written confirmation will be taken as correct. All toughened glass has a 1-2 mm tolerance on the sizes. As the glass is toughened it is heated and cooled repeatedly. This causes the glass to expand and contract slightly during the process and can affect the overall measure on width or height. Any replacements of goods due to incorrect sizes being provided by the customer will be chargeable at the full price per m2 (minimum order size 1 m2). Any installation specified in the quotation will be done during normal business hours (8am to 5pm Monday to Friday), and only if there is reasonable access and space. Areas covered by this service: Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington, Driffield, Malton, York, Pickering, Whitby and the surrounding areas, at our discretion, please ask for further details. Due to COVID19, war in Ukraine and The Red Sea delays in the manufacturing process are now common place. From quotation to fitting at present it is taking up to ten weeks. All items should be checked on delivery/collection/fitting. Any defects or faults need to be reported to gekoglass within 48 hours, preferably in writing. All issues will be reviewed on a case by case basis. No refunds or replacements will be offered for items displaying any of the characteristics mentioned in these terms and conditions. Please contact us to discuss. If ‘you’ the customer intends to fit splashbacks independently of gekoglass then the responsibility of gekoglass ends at delivery/collection and payment in full is received. We will not be held responsible for any subsequent damage caused during fitting by a third party or any adverse reaction which may happen due to incorrect installation or use of none recommended sealants or adhesives.
​
​Overlay Lead Work (including vases and mirrors):
All our quotations are only valid for 30 days from date shown on paperwork. Any alterations/ additional work / colours different to the quotation will be at an additional cost and a new quotation will be issued making any previous quotations invalid. Additional administration charges may be applied in circumstances where a client asks for multiple quotations/quotation revisions on more than one occasion. From quotation to fitting at present it is taking up to twelve weeks.
Imperfections in glass are a possibility due to the glass making process. These can range from seeds and marks in the glass these should not be noticeable standing at a distance of two meters away from the surface as advised by The GGF (Glass and Glazing Federation). Seeds and bubbles are deemed acceptable in all types of glass. All colours and textures are provided by polyester based colour films. Colour matches cannot be guaranteed from section to section. Any areas using grains, ripples, wisps, abstracts, veins, streaky, colour blends or metallic effects will all be different and individual due to manufacturing process so exact matching from panel to panel is not possible. All lead is 99.5% pure lead and due to this is subject to oxidisation. This is caused by environmental factors such as rain, snow and condensation causing the lead to create a protective barrier or a patina. Aged lead and lead treated with patination oil will also eventually oxidise given the correct conditions. It is the responsibility of the customer to place the finished product in a position that is suitable for use, any damage caused due to oxidisation is not the responsibility of gekoglass. Glass bevels are individually made and due to this no two are identical. Bevels are made from float glass and due to this are also prone to seeding and marking as with all glass (see above GGF recommendations). Any installation specified in the quotation will be done during normal business hours (8am to 5pm Monday to Friday), and only if there is reasonable access and space. Areas covered by this service: Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington, Driffield, Malton, York, Pickering, Whitby and the surrounding areas, at our discretion, please ask for further details. Any defects or faults need to be reported to gekoglass within 48 hours, preferably in writing. All issues will be reviewed on a case by case basis. No refunds or replacements will be offered for items displaying any of the characteristics mentioned in these terms and conditions. Please contact us to discuss. Due to COVID19, war in Ukraine and The Red Sea delays in the manufacturing process are now common place.
​Window & Door Repairs:
All our quotations are only valid for 30 days from date shown on paperwork. Any alterations/ additional work / specialist colours or parts requested that are different to the quotation will be at an additional cost and a new quotation will be issued making any previous quotations invalid. If a request is made by the customer for an itemised quotation, please note prices may or may not include labour and VAT. Additional administration charges may be applied in circumstances where a client asks for multiple quotations/quotation revisions on more than one occasion. If you, the customer, chooses to go ahead with part of a quotation, not the full quotation, our paperwork will reflect these changes. If you, the customer wishes to breakdown an agreed job into more than one visit, labour charges will be added to each additional visit to complete the agreed work. From quotation to fitting at present it is taking up to four weeks.
Imperfections in glass are a possibility due to the glass making process. These can range from seeds and marks in the glass to dust particles, light and dark flecks. These should not be noticeable standing at a distance of two meters away from the surface as advised by The GGF (Glass and Glazing Federation) in relation to the glass. Seeds and bubbles are deemed acceptable in all types of glass. All toughened glass has a 1-2 mm tolerance on the sizes. As the glass is toughened it is heated and cooled repeatedly.

Any installation specified in the quotation will be done during normal business hours (8am to 5pm Monday to Friday), and only if there is reasonable access and space. Areas covered by this service: Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington, Driffield, Malton, York, Pickering, Whitby and the surrounding areas, at our discretion, please ask for further details. Due to COVID19, War in Ukraine and in the Red Sea delays in the manufacturing process are still common place. From quotation to fitting at present it is taking up to four weeks. All work should be checked while gekoglass is still on site. If ‘you’ the customer intends to fit any glass provided by gekoglass then the responsibility of gekoglass ends at delivery/collection. We will not be held responsible for any subsequent damage caused during fitting by a third party or any adverse reaction which may happen due to incorrect installation or use of none recommended sealants or adhesives.
If using gekoglass to remove and then replace glass/frames for the installation or removal of furniture from a property, an upfront payment at the time of booking an appointment is required (see payment terms for additional information). Gekoglass take no responsibility for any damage caused during this process; this includes any damages to frames/ glass and furniture. Please also note: gekoglass is not a removal company and will not assist in installation or removal of any furniture.
All efforts are made to ensure that any quoted repairs are completed to a satisfactory standard agreed by all parties in writing. All work should be checked by the client while gekoglass are still on site. We offer a six month guarantee only, on all moving parts (e.g. hinges, door barrels) fitted by gekoglass. If installed by a third party, we do not offer this guarantee. This guarantee does not cover breakages or damage to moving parts caused by any external factors. Replacements will only be fitted free of charge if the item is faulty. This guarantee is from the date of installation. This guarantee belongs to the customer address. This guarantee is not transferable following the sale of a property. The customer receipt is the guarantee therefore we advise you retain this hard copy as proof of installation date.
In relation to leaks/ water ingress: All efforts are made to ensure any leaks/water ingress issues are repaired, however it should be noted that water can often still find a way into a property. Once we have completed the agreed repairs, if there is still an issue with a leak/ water ingress, other avenues should be explored such as ensuring there are no issues with a roof, flashing, pointing, external window sills, soffits and fascias. We cannot guarantee any leak/ water ingress can be completely repaired, please bare this in mind when instructing gekoglass as refunds will not be given.
At gekoglass we provide a windows and doors repairs service, the work carried out by gekoglass is a replacement Double Glazed Unit service which is essentially a repair to the window, which does not require a Fensa or Certass Certificate as we are only replacing the Double Glazed Unit and not replacing the whole frame. We offer a 5 year guarantee on all units installed by the team at gekoglass. This is against the units breaking down (misting). If installed by a third party, we do not offer this guarantee. This guarantee does not cover breakages or damage to units caused by any external factors. This guarantee does not cover frames in any way as we do not offer a frames replacement service. We are not Fensa or Certass registered. However we will comply to Fensa and Certass guidelines and fit the correct double glazed unit(s) in accordance to said guidelines. The guarantee is from the date of manufacture of the units, not date of installation. Any defects or faults on the glass externally need to be reported to gekoglass within 48 hours, preferably in writing. Any internal defects or faults need to be reported to gekoglass within three weeks, preferably in writing. All issues will be reviewed on a case by case basis. Gekoglass install A rated units as standard (please refer to your receipt). You will notice the difference between your new units in comparison to any old units still in situ. These units work by keeping the heat in a room and preventing the cold from getting in. The outer pane never warms up and therefore gets condensation on the outside (external to your property). Do not be concerned if you see condensation on the outside pane of your new windows, it just demonstrates they are working efficiently. No refunds or replacements will be offered for items displaying any of the characteristics mentioned in these terms and conditions. Please contact us to discuss. This guarantee belongs to the customer address. The customer receipt is the guarantee therefore we advise you retain this hard copy for the life of the units.

Price Increase Statement Reviewed October 2023:
During the Covid19 pandemic, the glass and glazing industry was put under increasing pressure due to demand being significantly higher to the production of raw materials needed to make glass products. This unfortunately pushed up prices. There were nine price increases from our glass suppliers between March 2020 and March 2022. Due to additional pressures from Brexit and the war in Ukraine we have to continually monitor our prices.
To ensure the same level of high quality and the ever changing challenging circumstances we all face: All our quotations are only valid for 30 days. We want to be as transparent as possible with all our clients, we appreciate you may need to re-assess budgets and hope you understand our current position. Any questions, please contact us to discuss.
​
Glass Shortages Statement Reviewed October 2023:
Our supplier stated in 2022: ‘Glass availability is becoming more restrictive than originally forecast. As a result we are now working on a ‘hand to mouth’ basis with float tank glass deliveries to ourselves and the now frequent occurrence of volume reductions and specific glass type shortages. We are making every effort to mitigate the consequences to our customers but finding it increasing difficult to maintain this position. As such, we ask in advance for your patience and understanding over the coming weeks as shortages become unavoidable and orders accepted in good faith become affected.’
These issues have been caused by Covid19, Brexit and the ongoing war in Ukraine. In essence this means we (gekoglass) are waiting longer for our glass deliveries. Currently wait time is 2 to 6 weeks from placing orders. We review this situation on a regular basis. Your patience in this difficult situation is very much appreciated.
​
Appointment Charges/Times:
Our normal business hours are Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm for all quotations to installations/completion of works. Quotations for all of our services (glass splashbacks/overlay lead work/ UPVC repairs) are only offered during our normal business hours (Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm). We currently do not charge a ‘call out fee’ for initial quotations carried out during our normal business hours (Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm). Please note: When booking appointments, please discuss this in detail with our team if a weekend installation/ completion of works is required. For installations/work completions carried out on a weekend, this will incur additional charges to cover weekend labour costs so please consider this when agreeing appointment dates and times. Office hours are 9.30 am to 4 pm Monday to Friday.
All our appointment times are booked within a ‘flexi time period’ and agreed with you the customer at the time of booking. If a member of our team is running late, we will do our best to inform you, the customer, as soon as we are able. Unfortunately some jobs over run and there is very little that can be done about this. We also live in a seaside town, at peak times travel around Scarborough can be very challenging and therefore can impact on appointment times. If you require a very specific time, please state this when booking appointments.
Please remember life happens and we cannot always pre-empt what will occur on any job. We ask that you respect our staff at all times, this includes when we are out on site, on the telephone and at any other time. Our team do not need to be belittled or undermined if we are not running on time, life is very stressful already! If customer behaviour is inappropriate at any time, we reserve the right to withdraw our products and services with no refund.
​
Liability:
When working on site, we (gekoglass) accept no liability for loss or damage to anything in your property/external to your property.

We hold public liability insurance with a maximum of £5 million, for details/ potential claims, please contact gekoglass in writing within 7 days. Any verbal communication will be acknowledged, however, only written communication will be acted upon.
​
Bespoke Orders:
Each item is lovingly hand-crafted in our workshop in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. Every piece is quality checked once finished and before collection/dispatch. Due to the hand-crafted nature of what we create, no two pieces are exactly the same. Each will have unique differences or quirks due to our kiln process. If an item is created to bespoke criteria, that is to say if it has been made to specific sizes or colours then it is not eligible for a refund. Please do bear this in mind when placing an order.
Our 4eva embers are very unique products, created using the ashes you provide. There is no guarantee on the finish of these products. Bubbles are an inevitable side effect. If you require a product with no bubbles we advise the ashes are not encapsulated and are instead fused to the top of the glass. Please do bear this in mind when placing an order.
All bespoke orders are subject to an average of a twenty working day process time. This does not include postage times. If an item is required for a specific date, please inform gekoglass when placing an order. We will do our best to achieve specific dates, however this cannot be guaranteed. Your patience during the manufacturing process is appreciated.

Glass in its nature will contain minor imperfections such as distortions and seeds. These are acceptable imperfections caused during the manufacturing process. Refunds/ replacements will not be offered due to such imperfections. All items made to order and/or personalised are non returnable due to the bespoke nature of the products, unless faulty. Any returns must be agreed and authorised by us in writing before they can be accepted. Any items returned broken or faulty will only be replaced on visual inspection and only if a fault with the item is the issue. Any damage caused by misuse of the product or improper care of the item will not be replaced or refunded, however a repair may be offered. Any refund/ replacement is at the discretion of gekoglass. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Reproduction of colour online is as accurate as photographic and electronic processes will allow. Colours appear very differently from computer to computer, both on the screen and when printed with different printers.

Recycling Pledge:
We are making changes to the way we do business with the environment in mind. All our glass and cardboard is now recycled at our local refuse centre. We no longer issue a paper receipt. This is because they are all printed on thermal paper and thermal paper is not recyclable. Instead, we can email or text you a receipt for your records. If you do really need a paper receipt, one can be printed on request.
Let’s all do our bit, small changes can make a huge difference to help save our beautiful planet.
​
Heath and Safety:
We are committed to ensuring everyone is kept safe and healthy at all times. To ensure this, we have a written Health and Safety Policy in place with accompanying Risk Assessments. These can be viewed on request.
To ensure the personal safety of our staff and clients, when booking appointments we require a full name, address, contact telephone number and email address (if one is available) from any potential client. If this information is not provided, we will be unable to secure an appointment in our diary system and therefore be unable to attend a property (even in an emergency). This is to protect the security and safety of our team. We hope you understand our position. If you are concerned about giving out your personal data, please read the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) 2019 section of our terms and conditions.
We would also ask that you respect our staff at all times, this includes when we are out on site, on the telephone and at any other time. If customer behaviour is inappropriate at any time, we reserve the right to withdraw our products and services with no refund.
