Our lawful bases for collecting and using your data

For providing services and goods:

Contract: We have to collect or use the information so we can enter into or carry out a contract with you.
Legitimate interests: We collect contact details and project information from prospective clients who enquire about our construction services. This allows us to respond to enquiries, assess project requirements, and provide accurate quotations. Without this information, we could not evaluate whether we can assist or provide pricing. The individual benefits by receiving a tailored response to their enquiry. The information collected is limited to what's necessary (name, contact details, project description) and is only used to progress the enquiry. We do not share this information with third parties for marketing purposes. Individuals can request deletion of their information at any time if they decide not to proceed.

For customer accounts and guarantees:

Contract: We have to collect or use the information so we can enter into or carry out a contract with you.

For service updates or marketing purposes:

Contract: We have to collect or use the information so we can enter into or carry out a contract with you.
Legitimate interests: We retain client contact details after project completion to provide warranty support, respond to any issues that arise, and occasionally inform past clients of relevant services. Clients benefit from continued support and awareness of services that may be useful for future property work. Communications are infrequent and relevant to the services we provide. Recipients can opt out at any time by contacting us directly. We do not share contact details with third parties for marketing purposes.

For legal requirements:

Legal obligation: We have to collect or use your information so we can comply with the law.

For dealing with queries, complaints or claims:

Contract: We have to collect or use the information so we can enter into or carry out a contract with you.
Legitimate interests: We retain records of client communications, project details, and any complaints or issues raised to respond effectively and to protect both parties in the event of a dispute or claim. This benefits clients by ensuring continuity of service and accurate records of agreements and resolutions. Records are retained for a reasonable period in line with limitation periods for construction claims (typically 6-12 years). Information is only used for resolving issues and defending claims, not for unrelated purposes. Individuals can request access to their records at any time.

For more information on our use of legitimate interests as a lawful basis you can contact us using the contact details set out above.

4. Where We Get Personal Information From

  • Directly from you
  • Suppliers and service providers

5. How Long We Keep Information

Client and project records 12 years after project completion (reflects limitation periods for construction-related claims under the Limitation Act 1980)
