What information we collect.

Whilst our company doesn’t collect any of your information, if you use our services via this website to request comparison quotations then your information will go straight to a third party company. This information is the very least that is necessary for you to carry out that task.

The only personal information we ask for is:

  1. Your name.
  2. Your telephone contact number.
  3. An email address.
  4. Your Address & Post Code.
  5. What type of product quote you are interested in.

The quote request form will also collect your current IP address (at the time you sent the form) and the time and date that you sent that form.

An IP address is a number that’s automatically assigned to your device (computer) when you are online. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. The currently assigned IP address can disclose the location of your device

How we process your personal data

Once you submit your details using our website online quote request form, you will be contacted by a third party company to “double check” your requirements.

The current affiliate companies are listed in this privacy policy below – along with links to their privacy policies.

They will provide at up to 4 quotations for those who enquire. What this means to you is that you should be prepared for up to 4 calls from home improvement companies to discuss your quotes (plus the initial verification phone call).

The home improvement companies will likely want to visit your home (or the property in question) to carry out a survey in order to draw up the quotation.

If you don’t want to be contacted by phone, or have a home visit, you should specify this on the contact form and we will comply with your wishes.
