What this notice covers

This notice explains personal information used in connection with this website and an initial enquiry. If a project requires additional data handling arrangements, these should be addressed in the project appointment and any relevant privacy information.

Information you choose to provide

The enquiry form asks for your name, email, optional telephone number, property postcode, service and project message. Completing the form prepares an email in your email application; it does not submit the entries to a website database. You decide whether to send that email. Information sent by email or discussed by telephone is received by the business for handling your enquiry. Do not include sensitive personal details or information about other people unless necessary.

Website and infrastructure information

The website hosting and delivery services process technical connection information, which can include IP address, browser details, requested pages and security events, to deliver the site and protect the service. The custom website code has no advertising pixel or visitor analytics integration and does not write your enquiry into browser storage.

Purposes and lawful bases

Information supplied about a possible project is used to understand the request, communicate with you and consider a quotation. Where you are the prospective client, this can be necessary to take steps at your request before entering a contract. Correspondence with a representative, routine administration and protecting the business may instead rely on legitimate interests, taking account of the impact on the individual. Any processing required by law relies on the relevant legal obligation. Optional Google Maps content is loaded only after the permission described in our cookie policy.

Who may receive information

Email providers handle messages you send; hosting and delivery providers handle technical website requests. Google receives connection information if you choose to load an embedded map. Project information may need to be shared with relevant advisers, consultants or public authorities where required for the agreed work or a legal obligation. The scope of that sharing should be discussed as part of the appointment. A planning submission may become publicly available through the authority's process.

International processing

Online service providers can process information in more than one country. Google Maps is an external Google service with its own privacy information. Ask us about the providers and applicable arrangements relevant to your enquiry before sending information if you have a particular concern about international processing.

How long information is kept

Retention depends on whether the enquiry proceeds to a project, the continuing need to communicate, applicable record-keeping duties and the need to establish or defend claims. Information should be retained only for those purposes and reviewed when no longer needed. Contact us for the retention criteria applicable to your particular enquiry or project; this website does not maintain a separate form-entry database.

Your choices and rights

Depending on the circumstances and lawful basis, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of your information, or object to its use. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it without affecting earlier lawful processing. Rights are subject to applicable conditions and exemptions. Contact us using the details above so that your request can be assessed and your identity verified where necessary.

Concerns and complaints

Please raise data concerns with us first so we can investigate. You can also complain to the UK's Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint. Information about your rights is available from the ICO.

External sites and updates

Links to Google, councils and other external sites take you to services with their own privacy information. Review this notice periodically for changes to the website. See our cookie policy and map controls for optional embedded content.
