12. Site Survey
The minimum project size for DCTUK Fitting Services is 50m2. If a site survey/measurement inspection is required and on arrival at the site survey the meterage is less than 50m2 then a £100 charge ex VAT is applicable.

13. Fitting
13.1. DCTUK fitting is provided by third party contractors. We have a minimum charge of £480 ex VAT or £576 ex VAT. All communication regarding your project fitting order materials and deadlines (including complaints) should be made to the staff at DCTUK and not the fitting team on site.
13.2. If images are requested to provide a quotation they must show all areas of the project. If other areas become apparent when fitters arrive on-site then these will be chargeable.
13.3. When you receive your goods please check all items received and notify us immediately if you identify a problem. Your goods will be delivered through a third party courier and are ‘Kerbside’ delivery. Please ensure that you have suitable means of transporting the goods into the building as this service is not offered by the courier. It is important that a safe and secure area is allocated for storing your goods until they are installed as DCTUK holds no responsibility for items that are damaged or lost/stolen once received.
13.4. Fitting dates on a project are based on a clear working project. The finish date is an estimate and could be liable to change depending upon site conditions. If your installation is to be completed in Phases these will be agreed prior to works commencing with our Fitting Team. Any changes to agreed Phased works will need to be agreed with DCTUK and not with our third party contractors on site. All Phases need to be completed in full with an electronic satisfaction form signed before works can commence on further agreed Phases.
13.5. If you have opted for our uplift and disposal service the fitter will remove your old flooring all offcuts and packaging from your new flooring. If you have decided against opting for this service it is your responsibility to uplift your existing flooring prior to the fitter arriving. All offcuts and packaging will be left neatly for you to dispose of.
13.6. Fitters undertake their work with the necessary skill and care but sometimes marks and scuffs are unavoidable. New paintwork is especially susceptible to this and so we recommend a minimum of two weeks drying time before flooring installation. Neither DCTUK nor any contractor will be liable for redecoration works unless damage has been caused due to negligence.
13.7. If subfloor preparation is identified as being required by either our surveyor or yourself and you opt to have these works completed independently it is your responsibility to ensure that the works completed are in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for the product and all relevant British Standards.
13.8. In the unlikely event that a product we have supplied to you is found to be faulty we will liaise with the manufacturer on your behalf to either have the product replaced or a suitable resolution found.
13.9. Prior to installation a ‘Pre Check’ is required to ensure that all goods have been received on site and that the areas having flooring installed are ready for the fitters to commence works. A DCTUK representative will call you 48 hours before the arranged fitting date to complete this. Following the ‘Pre Check’ any contactors unable to carry out works due to unsuitable site conditions missing products or requested changes to the scheduled works would require reimbursement for lost income and accommodation where necessary.
13.10. Payment is to be made upfront before the installation commences in all cases unless a delayed payment plan is agreed by the Sales Manager in writing. The following terms would then apply to payment:
a) A 50% minimum deposit is required when fitting is booked which is fully refundable unless cancellation takes place within 7 working days or later of the fitting commencement date. If moving office furniture services have not been paid for and our fitters arrive on site with the furniture still in place we will charge retrospectively the cost to move the furniture at our standard rates.
b) The balance is due on the final day of fitting once the electronic satisfaction form is signed.
c) For contractors working on behalf of a third party the remaining 50% balance to be paid on completion is subject to a credit check. If the credit check is unsuccessful then the full balance for the fitting must be paid in advance of the fitting commencement date.
13.11. When we provide design support for the floor area we cannot be held liable for any overage or shortage of tiles.
13.12. On completion of the fitting you will be asked to sign an electronic satisfaction form. Once this satisfaction form is signed any subsequent remedial work required must be reported to DCTUK within seven days of sign off via our online Remedial Submission form which will be sent to you for completion upon request. DCTUK will then liaise with the third party contractor on your behalf and arrange for the contractor to return to site within thirty days of the remedial work being reported. Any remedial work reported to DCTUK after seven days of sign off will be chargeable and payment required before the contractor returns to site.
13.13. If the fitting is deemed to be completed by DCTUK and the customer is unwilling to sign the sign off form then a third party fitter assigned and contracted by DCTUK will be sent to appraise the work within 30 working days. If the assessment by this fitter is that the work is completed then payment must be made whether or not the electronic sign off form is signed and the cost of the third party fitter will be added to the invoice balance due. If the third party fitter is in agreement with the customer and decides that the work is incomplete then DCTUK have 30 working days to complete the work. Once completed the customer will then be asked to sign the sign off form. If the customer is unwilling to sign the sign off form then the process is repeated until resolved
