Measuring & Fitting
Please see our Measurement Guide.
If your pole or rail is ready made, we can arrange for collection and then supply you with new items. A collection charge will usually be payable, or you can choose to return the items to us yourself, but we do ask that you use a courier or at the very least recorded delivery to ensure that the items make it to us safely. If your item is made-to-measure you will have to order new items as we cannot accept these as returns. Please see our Returns Policy.
Unfortunately we do not provide an installation service. If you do have any problems with the installation of your items, please see our Measurement and Fitting guides.

Firstly, make sure that you have removed the items from their packaging and measured them. The packaging for made-to-measure items are often labelled with the dimensions from which they were cut and not their finished size. If you have definitely received the wrong size items, call us or email us and we can arrange for them to be collected. Once we have examined the items, we will then despatch your new correct size items. Please see our Returns Policy.
On the rare occasions we are made aware that an item is out of stock we will email you to advise, along with an estimated delivery date for when stock is again available. You can then decide to wait, select an alternative product or take a refund.
