General Guarantee

We want you to be delighted with your order so if for any reason you are unhappy with your items, you can return them in perfect condition and in their original packaging within 14 days of receipt of the goods for a replacement or full refund.

Returns postage will only be refunded if the item is damaged, faulty or if the wrong items have been sent. We do not accept responsibility for damaged or lost parcels on return, so it is advisable to obtain a postal receipt, or send the goods back via recorded delivery.

Product Guarantees 

Many of our products carry structural or framework guarantees.

Structural Guarantee - refers to the product remaining intact, still supporting itself and has not physically failed during the guarantee period.

  • excludes damage caused by poor installation, ground conditions, exceptional weather including snow unless specifically stated in marketing material or instructions. 
  • excludes damage caused by plant stems / trunks / limbs expanding over time. Growth can exert extremely large forces on a structure over time and can force elements of a support or structure apart. It is the responsibility of the customer to monitor plant growth and take steps to prevent damage to the structure caused by the growth of plants.
  • excludes the paint finish of a product unless the structure physically fails as a result of corrosion caused by the failure of an applied paint finish (this would constitute structural failure and therefore would be covered by the guarantee).

Framework Guarantee – refers to the framework of a product remaining intact and supporting itself for the guarantee period e.g. a fruit cage is still holding up the netting as intended to protect the crop inside the cage.

  • excludes the failure of the netting or the netting fixings to the frame work.
  • excludes damage caused by poor installation, ground conditions, exceptional weather including snow unless specifically stated in marketing material or instructions.


Sneeboer Guarantee - 
our range of Sneeboer Tools have a 10 year steelwork guarantee and the wooden handles have a 1 year guarantee. We can supply replacement handles for tools - please contact our customer service team for more information on 0333 400 6400.

The following video gives more information on how to replace a handle on a Sneeboer Tool - How To Change A Sneeboer Tool Handle 


Returns / Replacements

Please telephone our Returns Department on 0333 400 6400 withing 14 days of receiving your goods and they will advise you whether they need to arrange for the item to be collected from you by a carrier company, or whether you need to return the item back to us via the Post Office; this will depend on the weight of the item in question. If the item was received damaged, or is faulty, you may be advised that the item does not need to be returned back to us at all.

If a collection needs to be arranged, this will be made for a weekday only, between standard working hours. If you are not able to be at home when the collection is to be made, you may leave the goods somewhere safe.

For furniture orders delivered by Harrod transport that are refused at point of delivery, a charge of £150 will be made to cover the logistic costs.

Whether you are returning the goods back to us via the Post Office, or a collection has been arranged, please complete our Return/Exchange form which can be downloaded here or visit out Returns Policy Page for more detailed information.

We will inspect the returned item and will issue a replacement or a refund if applicable usually using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase. If there are any problems we will contact you.

Returned items must be in packaging and in a resaleable condition. If a returned product has to be resprayed due to damage we reserve the right to charge 20% of the RRP to cover this cost.
