Cookies and tracking
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small files stored on your device.
- Strictly necessary cookies are required for the site to function (for example, to keep the site secure and remember form/session settings). These do not require consent.
- Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use our site.
- Marketing/advertising cookies are used to measure and improve our advertising.
Non-essential cookies (analytics and marketing) are only set after you give consent through our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings.
Embedded content and third-party services
Embedded content. Some pages may include embedded content such as a Google Maps map (on our Contact page) or videos and images from other websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves as though you have visited that website directly, and those websites may collect data about you, set their own cookies, and track your interaction with that content.
Social media. Our website links to our social media profiles (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, X, Pinterest). If you interact with these, your data is handled under each platform’s own privacy policy.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with trusted service providers (“data processors”) who help us run our business, including:
- Website hosting and form software — our site is built on WordPress
- Email and newsletter platform — GoHighLevel
- Customer enquiry/CRM system
- Analytics and advertising providers — Google and/or Meta, where these cookies are enabled with your consent
- Professional advisers, and authorities where required by law
All processors are required to keep your data secure and only use it for the purposes we specify.
International transfers
Some of our providers (for example Google and Meta) may process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses to protect your data.
How long we keep your data
We keep your personal data only as long as necessary:
- Enquiry and booking data: retained for 24 months after your last contact with us, unless you become a customer.
- Customer/project records: retained for the duration of our relationship and for as long as required for legal, accounting and warranty purposes (typically up to 6–7 years).
