Conditions of Sale

1. Waiting Time. Prices are quoted on the assumption that no unreasonable delay in discharge will occur. Waiting time will be charged after 45 minutes at £5 per minute thereafter.

2. Access. Each order is accepted by us on the understanding that your site can be approached by a hard road. Our driver is empowered to refuse delivery if in his opinion there exists a risk of damage to his vehicle, you being responsible for costs incurred if the delivery is aborted. We accept no liability for damage caused to your roads or property or property of others on the site by use of the vehicle. You shall be liable to make good any damage caused to our vehicles, or harm to our personnel by reason of defects in the access road or negligence on the part of you or your employees.

3. Water. Extra water affecting strength or workability shall be noted on the Ticket/Invoice and is added only at the customers request and risk.

4. Cancellation. No charge will be made for cancellation by you up to 2 hours before time of departure except in the event that goods have been specially processed to meet your requirements. In this event you will meet the expense incurred. Consignments ordered and delivered to site must be paid for in full.

5. Defects. Our liability in respect of defects in our plastic ready mixed concrete (including failure to comply with specifications) is limited to the cost of removal and replacement. We can only accept such liability where you can establish that:

  1. no additional water or other material has been added to the product after it has been declared by our agent or employee as ready for acceptance.
  2. the sample tested has been taken during discharge from our vehicle in accordance with the relevant clauses of BSEN12350, BSEN12390 and BS8500.
  3. all sampling, making, curing and testing of specimens has been carried out in accordance with the relevant clauses of BSEN12350 and BSEN12390.
  4. test results have been interpreted in accordance with BS8500 or any other specification previously agreed by us. It should be recognised that for a well controlled continuous production there is always the slight probability of a result occurring below the compliance limit and that it is not normally possible to predict its occurrence.
  5. references to compressive strength in the specification shall unless otherwise agreed refer to compressive strength obtained from concrete cubes, made, cured and tested in accordance with BS8500 and BSEN12390 by a UKAS Approved Test House.
  6. you have notified us of any result indicating a possible failure to meet the specification as soon as the results are available to you.
  7. we have been given the opportunity of investigating any alleged defect and of making recommendations as to any remedial action to be taken.

For clarity our liability does not extend to any hardened concrete defects arising from on-site handling e.g. site preparation and; plastic concrete laying, compaction, finishing and curing.

6. Consequential Loss. We shall in no circumstances be liable for consequential loss or damage.

7. Delays. We reserve the right to suspend or delay without penalty of any kind in the event of war, civil commotion, lock-outs, fire, fog or other inclement weather conditions, delays, in any type of transport, non-availability, plant or truck breakdown or any accident or other cause.

8. Price Variation. Quoted prices are based on the cost of materials and labour ruling at the date of quotation. In the event of fluctuation of cost we reserve the right to make corresponding variation in prices, after giving due notice.

9. Acceptance. If production is aborted for any reason by the customer the minimum delivery charge will apply.

10. Payment. Quoted prices apply to payment by cash-on-delivery (cash or card) or by previously agreed credit arrangements (by cash, card or BACS). We reserve the right to refuse to execute any order or discontinue deliveries if the arrangements for payment or your credit is not satisfactory to us, or if your account is overdue for payment.

11. Cash-On-Delivery. The amount indicated on the face of the Delivery Ticket, which is also our Invoice, must be paid to the Driver or Office immediately after discharge. Our Driver will provide the customer with a copy of the Delivery Ticket/Invoice acknowledging receipt of the payment.
