On completion of works, a Balance invoice will be issued for the remaining 50% of the total estimate or quotation. Payment of the Balance shall be made by the Customer upon collection of the goods from our workshop or upon delivery. Until monies have been paid no items will be released.
1.3. Prior to commencing work on an “installation” sale, which involves the installation of items or carrying out work at the customer’s premises, Armstrong Joinery requires a non-refundable deposit amounting to 50% of the total estimate or quotation from the client. This deposit facilitates the scheduling of drawing work for customer approval. Once the client grants approval, manufacturing and fitting dates will be provided. Upon completion of the joinery items in our workshop, an interim invoice amounting to 40% of the total job value will be forwarded to the client. This invoice must be paid before installation takes place. Subsequently, upon completion of the work, a balance invoice amounting to 10% of the total job value will be issued.
