When you submit an enquiry or project brief through our intake form we collect the details you provide, typically your name or company, contact details, the type of client you are, your property type, budget range, and a description of your project. We also receive standard technical data (such as IP address and browser type) needed to deliver and secure the website.

We use this information to respond to your enquiry, scope and quote work, manage any resulting engagement, and keep records required for our business. Our lawful bases are your consent (when you contact us), the performance of a contract, and our legitimate interest in running and improving our services. We do not sell your data.

Enquiry and intake data is retained only as long as needed to respond and, where an engagement follows, for the duration of the project plus the period required to meet legal, tax, and warranty obligations. Data that no longer serves a purpose is deleted.

We use essential cookies to operate the site. Non-essential or analytics cookies are only set if you accept them via our cookie banner; you can decline and the site will still work. See the cookie choice shown on your first visit.
