SECTION 4 – WARRANTIES AND GUARANTEES

All boilers supplied by us will be supported with a manufacturer backed warranty for the length of time detailed in your quotation.
To claim under the boiler manufacturer warranty you must ensure that the boiler has been serviced on an annual basis. We will write to you annually to remind you of this.
GMD Boiler Services Ltd are required to initially support any warranty issues you may have in the eight year period with any Vaillant products, and we will visit to confirm any faults are claimable under the terms of Vaillant’s warranty. A service call is then arranged via our priority portal for a Vaillant service engineer to call, usually next day (subject to Vaillant Ltd T&C’s). No charge is made by ourselves to you for this service if subsequently a warranty call is required. This eliminates any misdiagnosed issues that Vaillant could potentially charge for as a non-warranty matter.
You must keep the warranties/guarantees and records of service for the products provided by us as these records will need to be produced to the manufacturer on request if you are making a claim under the warranty. Any warranty will be void without these records.
Any auxiliary products which are supplied (e.g. radiators and thermostats) will usually be supported by a 12 months parts and labour warranty by us unless otherwise stated in your Quotation.
Other components and equipment for examples filters will have individual warranties. These will differ depending on their specific manufacturers. You will need to contact us on 01603 864865 to find out the warranty that applies.
The installation carried out by us is supported by a 12-months parts and labour warranty which is provided by us
You will not be able to claim under a warranty where failure, fault or problem occurs due to:
Failure by you or any third party in the operation, inspection, servicing, or care of the boiler and auxiliary products which have not been done in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Deliberate vandalism or damage.
Any damage which occurs as a result of circumstances which are out of the manufacturer’s or our control (e.g. power surges).
Variations in the flow rate of water going to the boiler or auxiliary products.

SECTION 5 – YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

you will let us into the property at the time of the appointment.
you will provide us with access to your property for the duration of the works.
all the necessary facilities, services and supplies (e.g. water, gas and electricity) are already in place and working at the property.
any pets are kept away from the working area and our operatives.
no minor is left unattended at the property whilst we are working there. If a minor is left unattended in the property, we will immediately cease working and vacate the property for the period that the minor is left unattended.
If you are the landlord of the property you (or someone who has authority to act on the landlord’s behalf) will need to be at the property for the quotation appointment.

5.2 You must at all times behave appropriately and not physically or verbally abuse our staff whilst we are working at your property.

5.3 If you do not comply with the obligations set out in Clause 5.1 and 5.2 then we will not be able to provide the installation and we will have the right to either cancel the terms and conditions in accordance with Clause 7.3 or charge you for the period that we are unable to work at the property.

SECTION 6 – OUR RESPONSIBILITIES

6.1 – In carrying out the installation we will:

General

carry out the installation with reasonable skill and care and will take reasonable care to avoid disruption at the property.
carry out the installation on the date that we have agreed with you. In the event of circumstances outside of our control we are unable to provide you with the installation on the agreed date we will let you know as soon as we become aware of the event causing the delay and we will arrange with you a new date to carry the installation.
remove all waste materials and dispose of them within Waste/Environmental regulations. Please note that any scrap metals left over from the installation are the property of GMD Boiler Services Ltd and due to Waste/Environmental regulations we need to dispose of any scrap metal and we are therefore unable to leave them at the property.
Clean up the work area.

Pipework

All mains water, heating or gas pipework will be in copper tubing with capillary or compression fittings as appropriate.
We will conceal the pipework wherever possible and all visible pipes will be fitted neatly and as inconspicuously as practicable. All new pipework containing water in unheated spaces e.g. garages, or lofts will be lagged as necessary.
Where any supply pipework is run beneath floors, we will require access to the respective rooms to raise carpets and flooring as appropriate as discussed during the survey.
We will relay carpets as best as practicable, but we cannot guarantee the re-fitting of the carpet. Any re-stretching or re-fitting of the carpets will need to be carried out by your own contractor at your own cost.
We will need to provide pressure and relief and condensate pipes from new condensing boilers to a suitable point as discussed during the quotation. We will make every effort to make these as inconspicuous as possible however, we will ensure current Gas Safety and Building Regulations are met accordingly.

Building Work

We will provide all holes required for pipe runs and we will make good all work disturbed afterwards but not painting and decorating, carpentry, brickwork, plastering or electrical work other than that specified in the quotation.

Gas Pipework Test

We will test the working gas pressure to the existing boiler boiler. If the same output boiler is being fitted we would expect the gas working pressure to be sufficient to power the new. However, if the working pressure measured at the boiler is lower than IGEM guidelines, then the gas pipework from the gas meter will require upgrading to the correct size at an additional cost. If a higher output boiler is being fitted then the cost to upgrade the gas pipe will be included in your quotation.

Asbestos

We will not remove any asbestos contained materials encountered on site. These will need to be removed by you at your own expense.

Electrical Work

We will carry out all the necessary electrical work including controls associated with the installation as set out in your quotation.
We will not upgrade the Main Equipotential Earth Bonding as part of the quotation. This should be checked by an approved electrician and if this does not meet current electrical regulations then you will be responsible for any additional work at your own cost.
