Introduction
This website is owned and operated by Corston Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales with the company registration number 08553721.

    Orders
    By placing an order with us, you agree to and accept our terms and conditions. If you’re unhappy with or unclear about any aspect of these terms, please contact us before ordering.

    Of the three finishes we offer on our solid brass products, Antique Brass is our only living finish. This means there’ll be some variation in colour, texture and patina straight out of the box. We recommend ordering all Antique Brass products for your project together so they’re as consistent as possible and age similarly. Please see the materials and finishes section of our website for more details on our finishes.

    Stock availability
    If you place an order with products that are both in and out of stock, we’ll send the available items straight away. The remaining items will be dispatched when they’re in stock.

    We always aim to keep our website up to date with expected availability dates for items that are out of stock. We’ll let you know by email when out-of-stock items are available and dispatched.

    Prices
    We offer goods for sale through our website. We are price-sensitive and strive to make our products high-quality and affordable. The prices and availability of goods are subject to change without notice.

    VAT
    Our VAT number is GB 318757571. UK VAT is not charged on goods exported to a destination outside of the United Kingdom.

    0% UK VAT has been applied on these sales, which means you won’t be eligible for a UK VAT refund. You’ll be responsible for any import duties, customs charges and any other fees when the order reaches your destination.

    Payment
    We offer all our goods on a payment-with-order basis. This means you must pay us when you order. We can take payment by all major credit and debit cards and by PayPal and Klarna. We’ll only accept your order if we receive the payment in full.

    Our customer service and trade team can also send a pro forma invoice to you for payment. If you’re working with a professional, we’d recommend having them check the pro forma before payment.

    Sending your goods
    Orders are assembled and packed at our workshop in Wiltshire, UK. We aim to dispatch all orders quickly (within 24 hours) using a next-day delivery service.

    We’ll email you a link to track your delivery once your items are on their way. You might be asked to sign for your order, or the courier will use photo proof of delivery.

    If you have any delivery concerns, please contact us as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we won't be responsible for any loss claims seven days after the order is shown as delivered.

    Receiving your goods
    We ask that you check your goods as soon as possible after delivery. Unfortunately, we won’t be responsible for any issues not reported within 30 days of delivery.

    International deliveries
    International orders will be dispatched within 24 hours using an express tracked service (such as UPS, FedEx or DPD) in most cases. We’ll get in touch with you for any unusual or bespoke delivery options. You’ll be responsible for any import duties, customs charges and any other fees when the order reaches your destination.

    All quoted delivery times are subject to customs clearance, and we won’t be held responsible for any delays. Please contact our customer service team if you have any concerns.

    Customs and import duties
    All the prices on our website are in pounds sterling GBP and include VAT. If your order is going outside of the UK, you won’t need to pay any sales tax. However, you’ll need to settle any customs charges or import duties when your order reaches its destination country.

    We can offer DDP (Duties Delivered Paid) to Republic of Ireland, but you must get in touch with our customer service team for help placing the order.

    Cancellation
    You can cancel your order within two hours of purchase. If we haven’t already sent the goods out, we’ll issue a full refund (including delivery charges) to the original payment method used to place your order. Your refund will be processed promptly, and within 10 days of cancellation.

    If we’ve dispatched the goods before you cancel your order, you can still request a refund by following our returns procedure or by refusing the delivery when it arrives. We’ll then process the refund within 10 days. If your order can’t be cancelled, you can still request a refund by following the returns procedure. All cancellations are accepted or rejected at our discretion.

    Amending orders
    We’re unable to amend orders once payment has been taken. If you need any further items, you’ll need to order these separately.

    Alternatively, if you contact us within our two-hour cancellation window, we can cancel your order in full. You can then place a new order at your convenience.

    Returns
    We hope you’ll be really happy with your order, however, if there’s a problem, please let us know. You can return items within 60 days of the order date. Please pack the goods in a fully re-saleable condition in the original undamaged packaging.

    By using the returns portal, you allow us access to and accountability for all tracking information. If you choose to use your own courier to return your items, please be aware that we won’t take responsibility for any loss or damage to the goods.

    Trade customer returns
    Customers who have made a purchase using a Corston trade account must return the goods within 60 days of the order date. Corston charges a restocking fee of 10% of the value of the products that are returned to cover repolishing, inspecting and repackaging.

    Installation and fitting
    Some of our products are relatively simple to fit and can be done by anyone proficient at DIY. However, some items are more complex to install. You’ll find instructions on our website, but we recommend using professional builders and electricians. Our electrical products must be installed in line with UK building regulations.

    If you’re using a professional to install our products, please make sure you have received the goods before you engage their services. We won’t be liable for any additional charges you may incur due to delivery delays. 

    Warranty
    If you have any issues with your products, please get in touch with our customer service team.

    If you come across any material defects or faults with your items within the first year of use, we’ll be sure to replace them.

    Our Antique Brass products have a living finish, so there will be some variation in colour, texture and patina. We recommend ordering all Antique Brass products for your project together, so they’re as consistent as possible and age similarly.
