Reclaimed timber. We
have supplied reclaimed timber to hundreds of satisfied customers. Before
you choose your particular timber we discuss with you your preferences and
the suitability of different species and individual reclaimed source. You
should make sure you understand that reclaimed timber has 'character' which
makes it so attractive in appropriate settings, which may include nail holes,
mature knots, stains and so on.
A sample of the chosen wood can usually be sent to you.
If you are using a builder or joiner to install the timber, we strongly advise that you discuss your choice of wood and ensure that you both have the same vision of the end result.
Payment. For timber and reclaimed building materials to the UK, we ask for payment by cheque or cash on delivery. For items shipped abroad we require payment in Sterling before shipping. We can advise you on transfering funds electronically through your bank.
Delivery, shipping and insurance. In the UK we deliver timber and other large items at the cost to us. Shipping abroad is arranged as part container loads or as appropriate. We can advise on insurance.
Computer stuff and privacy. We do not keep any database of customers nor store email messages beyond the time during which we are dealing with enquiries and supplies. We never make email addresses or other data available to third parties. We do not use cookies (a cookie is a small program put on your PC by a website you are browsing. You can see which of these agents you have 'picked up' by looking in Explorer or via My Computer at your temporary internet files. In Netscape 7 click Tools.. Cookie manager .. Manage stored cookies... You can then delete them).
Email, viruses and worms
Unfortunately, the days when a modicum of care plus an avoidance of Microsoft products was sufficient to stay safe ended last year. Now any email, however plausible the subject line, may contain a worm.or virus or other unpleasantness in an attachment. The rule 'don't open an attachment unless you are SURE it is harmless' still applies.
Been away for a few days? Update your virus checker before you receive your email. This is because new worms may have come into existence since you last went online.
Just because you recognise the sender's address, it does not 100% prove that the email came from them - stealing and hijacking of names can occur. If you are sending someone an attachment to the email like a picture or a document, then put something specific in the subject line that only you could have written. So don't say ' photo as promised' or 'see attached' but for example 'Jason climbing Skiddaw' or 'minutes of 5 April meeting'.
And if it's a simple document, written say in WORD, consider saving it also as a text file and copying and pasting this straight into the body of your message.
