Information collected automatically
If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics collects information about how you use the site, such as the pages you visit, how long you stay, your browser and device type, and the website that referred you. See our cookie policy for details.
Our enquiry form may be protected by Google reCAPTCHA, which looks at information about your device and how you use the page to check that the form is being filled in by a person, not a bot. Our hosting provider also keeps short-term technical logs to protect the website from attacks.
How we use your information
- to reply to your enquiry and provide a quote
- to arrange and carry out storage, handling and related work you ask us about
- to keep business records for tax and accounting purposes
- to protect the website from spam and abuse
- to understand how the website is used and improve it (only with your consent)
We don't sell your information, and we don't use it for marketing without your permission.
Our legal basis
Under UK data protection law we rely on:
- Contract: when we need your details to quote for, or carry out, work you have asked us about.
- Legitimate interests: to reply to enquiries, run our business and keep the website secure.
- Consent: for analytics cookies, which you can change at any time.
- Legal obligation: to keep the business records the law requires.
Who we share it with
We only share your information with companies that help us run our business and this website:

- Our email provider: stores the emails you send us.
- Google: Google Analytics (only if you consent) and reCAPTCHA spam protection.

- Professional advisers: such as our accountant, where needed.
We'll also share information if the law requires it. Some of these providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, they use the safeguards UK law requires, such as adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Agreement.
How long we keep it
- Enquiries that don't lead to work, including any photos sent with them: up to 2 years.
- Customer records: as long as we need them for tax and accounting purposes, usually 6 years.
- Analytics data: no longer than 14 months, the maximum Google Analytics allows.

Keeping it safe
We take sensible technical and practical steps to protect your information. No website or email system is completely secure, but we work with reputable providers and limit who can see your details.
