Access to electricity and water is required on site. Whilst every care is taken to avoid any damage to plants, grass, trees and garden landscaping, Smart Spaces Ltd cannot be held responsible for damage caused by the install team. We strongly recommend that garden landscaping is completed after the building has been installed to avoid any incidental damage. Spoils created by the base team will not be removed from site unless agreed prior to the works commencing. All installation personnel have been trained and briefed on safe working practices including use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) in accordance with current Health and Safety regulations.
A Part P certificate will only be supplied where Smart Spaces Ltd completes a full external connection of power and will only be supplied to the customer once the final balance has been paid in full. The certificate can take up to 21 days to process. Where a full connection has not been made, readings are available on request. It is the responsibility of the certified electrician completing the full connection to certify the electrical works. Every effort is made to provide an accurate quotation for electrical works, however the inspection of the customer’s power source and consumer unit is only visual and is based on the assumption that the customer’s electrics comply with current building regulations. SmartSpaces reserves the right to refuse to complete electrical work or to apply additional charges where a connection is not possible with the current power source/consumer unit. The customer will be informed prior to any necessary additional works being carried out.
