Under UK GDPR, we rely on the following lawful bases to process your personal data:

 

  • Consent — where you have submitted an enquiry or quote request, you consent to us using your details to respond.

Cookies and website analytics

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to help it function correctly and to help us understand how visitors use the site.

We use Google Analytics and Google Ads conversion tracking to collect anonymous statistics about site usage and to measure the performance of our advertising. These tools may set cookies on your device and may collect information about your visit.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling some cookies may affect how the website works.

Google advertising

We advertise our services using Google Ads. Google may use cookies and device identifiers to measure the performance of our ads and to show relevant advertising. Any data collected through Google’s advertising services is handled in accordance with Google’s own privacy policy, available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Who we share your information with

We do not sell your personal information to anyone. We may share it with:

We keep your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to respond to your enquiry, deliver our services, and meet any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

Enquiries that do not lead to work are typically kept for 12    months and then deleted. Records relating to work we have carried out are kept for longer where required for legal, tax or health and safety reasons.

 

How we protect your information

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to keep your personal information secure and to protect it against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.
