Warranty E Smith Metal Limited

All goods are supplied with a standard 12 months workmanship warranty from the date of purchase, with the exception of our powder coated, galvanized or wrought iron products which have a 10 years workmanship guarantee. This covers the structural integrity of the welding on all our metal works. The workmanship warranty covers all weld joints, frames, hinges etc., but does not cover rust.
With respect to galvanized products, the warranty is increased to 25 years and includes warranty against corrosion. Please note that warranties are only valid if the products have the correct maintenance and have not been modified. All painting of metal products and treatment carried out by E Smith Metal Limited is not covered by our guarantee as it is the client that must regularly check for rust and re-treat the product accordingly. Rust is thus not covered in any way under any of the guarantees. When purchasing goods and services from E Smith Metal Limited, you automatically agree to our terms and conditions unless there is a prior agreement in writing.
