I have contacted my client regarding delivery and installation and the site is not ready. Can you store the office furniture for me?

Yes – as stated on our Order Acknowledgement we can store the reception furniture free of charge for one week beyond the agreed delivery and installation dates.  If the site is still not ready after that week, the furniture will be moved to an off-site storage facility and charged at the minimum rate of £100.00 + VAT per week or 2.5% of the order value whichever is the greater. At this point the balance invoice will also be raised and payment will become due as per the terms of your Order Acknowledgement. If the furniture has not been delivered within 8 weeks of the acknowledged delivery date, the storage charge will increase to 10% of the order value until a delivery and installation date has been confirmed. Payment of these charges will be due in 7 days from invoice date.

 

My client would like something totally unique to him. Can I still order from you?

Yes - we can provide you with the complete bespoke solution for any office environment and will help with the design and planning.

 

Will you visit site to carry out a survey?

We will carry out a site survey for all fitted furniture.  For freestanding furniture you will be sent a Site Survey Form with the Order Acknowledgement Pack requesting access information and any special points we should note.

 

The new furniture has been installed and it looks fantastic, how do I clean it?

Cleaning methods vary depending on the finish of the furniture:

         

• Veneered Furniture - The lacquered surface of a veneer reception desk should only be cleaned with a soft damp cloth to remove dust etc and then dried off with a soft duster.  Spray or Wax Polishes must not be used and Clarke Rendall will not be held responsible for damage to the lacquer surface as a result of using these items.  Any water spillage should be mopped up straight away.

 

• Laminate Furniture, lacquer, HI-MACS® & DuPont™ Zodiaq® - The surface may be cleaned with any non-abrasive, non-aerosol cleaner. Any water spillage should be mopped up straight away.

 

• Glass and Acrylic Upstands - These should be cleaned with glass cleaner on the visitor side.  The Receptionist side should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth, as there is a film applied to the rear and this could be scratched, scored or scuffed.

 

• Glass Shelves - If the shelf has been sandblasted to the rear this may only be cleaned with a damp cloth as there is a protective coating applied to this side.  Its trade name is ‘Clear Shield’.

 

• Metalwork - This should be cleaned with a dry cloth and buffed up, alternatively use WD40 and buff immediately to remove any fingerprints and excess oil.
