Terms of Use | Garden Decking UK

These terms and conditions apply when you visit garden-decking.uk, submit an enquiry or use our decking quote-matching service.

The service is provided by Leads Do Work Ltd. References in these terms to “we”, “us” or “our” mean Leads Do Work Ltd.

By using this website or submitting an enquiry, you confirm that you have read and agree to these terms. Please do not use the service if you do not accept them.

About Our Service

garden-decking.uk is an introduction and quote-matching service. It helps homeowners, landlords, letting agents, property managers and businesses connect with independent specialists who may be interested in inspecting a property or providing a quotation for garden decking work.

Our service may cover work such as composite and timber decking installation, raised decking, decking replacement, board and joist repairs, and decking cleaning and restoration.

The quote-matching service is free for people requesting quotations. Specialists may pay Leads Do Work Ltd for access to suitable enquiries or participate through another commercial arrangement with us.

Our Role Is Limited to Making Introductions

Leads Do Work Ltd is not a decking installer, landscaping contractor, building contractor, surveyor, engineer, architect, insurer or professional adviser.

We do not:

Design, build, repair or treat decking.
Visit or inspect the property.
Assess the condition of a deck frame, footings or balustrade.
Prepare specifications or scopes of work.
Provide professional, structural or technical advice.
Set or approve specialists' prices.
Negotiate contracts on behalf of homeowners or specialists.
Supervise, manage or inspect work carried out by specialists.
Employ the specialists introduced through the service.
Act as an agent, partner or representative of a specialist.
Guarantee that a specialist will contact you or provide a quotation.
Guarantee that any quotation will be suitable or competitive.

Our role is limited to receiving your enquiry and attempting to introduce you to independent specialists who may cover your location and type of work.

Independent Specialists

Every specialist introduced through the service operates as an independent business. Specialists are not employees, workers, subcontractors, agents, partners or representatives of Leads Do Work Ltd.

Specialists decide independently:

Whether to contact you.
Whether to inspect your property.
What diagnosis or repair method to recommend.
Whether to provide a quotation.
What price to charge.
What terms and payment arrangements to offer.
Whether they are willing and available to carry out the work.

We do not control how a specialist conducts its business or performs its work.

No Recommendation, Endorsement or Guarantee

An introduction through our service must not be treated as a recommendation, endorsement, certification or guarantee of a specialist.

Although we may collect or display information about specialists, we do not guarantee that any specialist:

Is suitable for your particular property or project.
Has all qualifications, skills or experience required for the work.
Holds current or sufficient insurance.
Belongs to a particular trade association or accreditation scheme.
Is financially stable or creditworthy.
Will provide a quotation.
Will offer the lowest or best price.
Will start or complete work within a particular period.
Will perform work to a particular standard.
Will provide or honour a guarantee.
Will comply with every legal, regulatory or professional requirement.

The fact that a specialist appears on our network or receives your enquiry does not mean that Leads Do Work Ltd has approved the specialist for your particular project.

Information About Specialists

Information about a specialist may include its business name, contact details, service area, experience, qualifications, accreditations, trade memberships, insurance details, reviews and other profile information.

This information may be:

Provided directly by the specialist.
Collected from publicly available records.
Provided by customers or third parties.
Based on documents that were current when checked.

We may carry out reasonable checks, but we cannot guarantee that specialist information is always accurate, complete or up to date. Qualifications, memberships, insurance policies, company status and personnel may change after checks have been completed.

You must verify all important information directly with the specialist before appointing it or allowing work to begin.

Your Responsibility to Check the Specialist

You are solely responsible for deciding whether a specialist is suitable for your project. Before appointing a specialist, paying any money or allowing work to begin, you should carry out your own checks.

These checks should include, where relevant:

Confirming the specialist's full legal or trading name.
Confirming its business address and contact details.
Checking how long the business has been trading.
Checking Companies House details where the specialist operates through a limited company.
Requesting recent references and independently contacting previous customers.
Reviewing genuine customer feedback from more than one source.
Checking relevant qualifications, training and experience.
Checking trade association memberships or accreditations directly with the issuing organisation.
Confirming whether working-at-height competence is appropriate for the proposed access method.
Requesting a current public liability insurance certificate.
Checking the insurer, policy number, expiry date and level of cover.
Confirming that the policy covers the specific type of work being proposed.
Checking whether employers' liability insurance is held where required.
Checking whether planning permission, listed building consent, building regulations approval or another permission is required.
Checking whether the specialist will arrange necessary approvals or whether this remains your responsibility.
Obtaining a written diagnosis and detailed quotation.
Reading all proposed contract terms before signing or paying.
Confirming who will actually carry out the work and whether subcontractors will be used.
Checking the terms and provider of any guarantee or warranty.

You should not rely solely on information displayed on this website or provided by Leads Do Work Ltd when choosing a specialist.

Specialist Advice and Structural Assessment

A bouncy, sagging or slippery deck can have several possible causes, and boards that look similar on the surface may be sitting on joists or footings in quite different condition underneath. Similar visible symptoms may require different repairs.

Information on this website is general information only. It is not a diagnosis of your property and must not be treated as professional surveying, structural, engineering, legal, financial, health or safety advice.

You are responsible for deciding whether you need advice from an appropriately qualified independent professional. This may include a building surveyor, structural engineer, landscape architect, conservation specialist or another suitably qualified adviser.

Where you are buying a property, arranging a mortgage, dealing with a listed building or planning a raised or substantial deck, you should consider obtaining an independent survey rather than relying only on a survey or quotation provided by a specialist seeking to carry out the work.

Your Enquiry

When submitting an enquiry, you agree to provide information that is accurate, current and complete to the best of your knowledge.

This may include:

Your name and contact details.
The property address or postcode.
Your relationship to the property.
The property type.
A description of the decking project or problem.
The work or inspection you require.
Your preferred timescale.
Any photographs or documents you upload.

You must have permission to submit an enquiry relating to the property and to provide any personal information included in it.

You must not submit:

False, misleading or fraudulent information.
Another person's contact details without permission.
Enquiries for properties where you have no authority to seek quotations.
Offensive, threatening, unlawful or abusive content.
Files containing malware or harmful code.
Enquiries intended to waste specialists' time.
Enquiries intended to gather prices or business information for improper purposes.

We may reject, suspend, edit or remove an enquiry that appears incomplete, duplicate, fraudulent, abusive, unlawful or unsuitable for the service.

Sharing Your Enquiry

By submitting a quote request, you ask us to attempt to match your enquiry with independent specialists who may be able to help.

Your enquiry and contact details may be shared with one or more relevant specialists. Those specialists may contact you directly by telephone, text message, email or another reasonable communication method to:

Discuss the work.
Ask for additional information.
Arrange a property visit.
Provide a quotation.
Follow up on the enquiry.

Submission of an enquiry does not guarantee that any specialist will be available, contact you, visit the property or provide a quotation.

No Obligation to Appoint a Specialist

Submitting an enquiry does not require you to:

Accept a quotation.
Arrange a property visit.
Appoint a specialist.
Purchase goods or services.
Pay Leads Do Work Ltd for the introduction.

You may decline any quotation or decide not to proceed.

Specialists are also free to decline an enquiry, refuse a visit or decide not to provide a quotation.

Property Visits

Any visit arranged with a specialist is an arrangement between you and that specialist. Leads Do Work Ltd does not attend, supervise or control specialist visits.

You are responsible for:

Checking the identity of anyone attending the property.
Ensuring that an adult is present where appropriate.
Providing safe and reasonable access, including to any area needed for a ladder, tower or scaffold.
Informing the specialist about known hazards.
Protecting children, pets, valuables and personal possessions.
Deciding whether the specialist may enter or inspect particular areas.

You should not allow a person into your property, or onto land needed for access equipment, if you are unable to confirm their identity or do not feel comfortable doing so.

Quotations and Estimates

Any quotation, estimate, diagnosis, survey, report or recommendation is provided by the specialist and not by Leads Do Work Ltd.

Before agreeing to work, you should obtain a written quotation that clearly states:

The specialist's legal or trading name.
The property and areas covered.
The specialist's diagnosis of the problem.
The proposed repair or replacement method.
The access equipment to be used, such as a ladder, tower or scaffold.
Whether removal and disposal of old materials is included.
Whether making good to render, brickwork or decoration is included.
The materials, profile and colour to be used.
The total price.
Whether VAT is included.
Any provisional sums or possible extra costs.
The payment schedule and deposit required.
The expected start date and duration.
What happens if additional damage is discovered once access is in place.
Any cancellation rights.
Details and limitations of guarantees or warranties.

You should obtain more than one quotation where practical and compare them on a like-for-like basis.

Leads Do Work Ltd is not responsible for errors, omissions, price changes or disagreements relating to a specialist's quotation.

Your Contract Is With the Specialist

If you appoint a specialist, any contract for surveys, goods, materials, repairs or other services is made directly between you and that specialist.

Leads Do Work Ltd is not a party to that contract and has no responsibility for negotiating, performing, enforcing, cancelling or refunding it.

Your contract with the specialist should cover matters such as:

The agreed scope of work.
The price and payment terms.
Start and completion dates.
Changes and additional work.
Materials, profile and colour specifications.
Access to the property and any equipment needed.
Insurance and responsibility for damage.
Waste removal and cleaning.
Guarantees and warranties.
Cancellation and termination.
Complaints and dispute resolution.

You should read the specialist's terms carefully and seek independent advice where necessary before entering into a contract.

Deposits and Payments

Payments for decking work are made directly between you and the specialist. Leads Do Work Ltd does not normally collect, hold or protect money paid to specialists.

You are responsible for deciding whether a requested deposit or payment schedule is reasonable.

Before making payment, you should:

Confirm the specialist's identity.
Check that the bank account details belong to the correct business or person.
Obtain a written quotation or contract.
Understand what the payment covers.
Ask for a written receipt.
Be cautious about large advance payments, particularly for materials ordered before work starts.
Verify any change of bank details through a trusted contact method.

Leads Do Work Ltd is not responsible for deposits, advance payments, payment disputes, specialist insolvency, bank-transfer fraud or money paid for work that is delayed, incomplete or not carried out.

Changes and Additional Work

If the specialist discovers additional problems after work begins, such as rotten joists hidden beneath the boards, you should request a written explanation and revised price before authorising extra work.

Leads Do Work Ltd is not responsible for:

Changes to the specialist's diagnosis.
Unexpected defects or hidden damage.
Additional work or increased costs.
Delays caused by further investigations.
Disagreements about what was included in the original quotation.

Guarantees and Warranties

Any guarantee or warranty is offered by the specialist, manufacturer, insurer or separate guarantee provider named in its terms. It is not provided by Leads Do Work Ltd unless we expressly confirm otherwise in writing.

Before relying on a guarantee, you should check:

Who provides and backs the guarantee.
How long the guarantee lasts.
What work and materials it covers.
What exclusions and maintenance requirements apply.
Whether it is transferable to a future property owner.
Whether it remains valid if the specialist stops trading.
How a claim must be made.

Leads Do Work Ltd does not guarantee that a specialist will remain trading or that a guarantee provider will accept a future claim.

Workmanship, Damage and Delays

Leads Do Work Ltd does not carry out, control, supervise or inspect specialists' work. We are not responsible for:

Incorrect or incomplete diagnoses.
Unsuitable or unnecessary repairs or replacement.
Poor, defective or incomplete workmanship.
Failure to follow manufacturer instructions or recognised practices.
Damage to the property, contents, fixtures or neighbouring property.
Rot, movement, algae or other defects continuing or returning.
Work that does not comply with planning, building or other legal requirements.
Delays, missed appointments or failure to complete work.
Noise, dust, disruption or inconvenience.
Health and safety failures, including in relation to working at height.
Losses caused by a specialist or its employees, workers or subcontractors.
Failure to honour a quotation, contract, guarantee or warranty.
A specialist becoming insolvent or ceasing to trade.

Any concerns about workmanship, damage, delays or the specialist's conduct must be raised directly with the specialist.

Disputes With Specialists

A dispute concerning a specialist's quotation, diagnosis, conduct, payment, workmanship, delay, damage, guarantee or contract is a dispute between you and the specialist.

You should normally:

Raise the complaint with the specialist in writing.
Explain the problem clearly and provide supporting evidence.
Give the specialist a reasonable opportunity to inspect and resolve the issue.
Keep copies of quotations, contracts, invoices, messages and photographs.
Check whether the specialist belongs to a trade association or dispute-resolution scheme.
Contact your payment provider, insurer, consumer advice service or legal adviser where appropriate.

We may choose to record a complaint, request information from the specialist or review whether the specialist should remain in our network. However, we are not required to mediate, investigate or resolve disputes, and we cannot order a specialist to refund money, return to the property or carry out remedial work.
