Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users of our website. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve the experience of using our website. We only set analytics and advertising cookies with your consent: browsing the site does not set them, and does not count as agreement.

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer with your agreement. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive.

We will use the following cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies - These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website.
  • Analytical and performance cookies - These allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. These cookies are anonymous.
  • Functionality cookies - These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you, greet you by name and remember your preferences (for example, your previous home improvement requirements).

Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical and performance cookies or targeting cookies.

We use Google Tag Manager to load the tags on our site. With your consent it sets Google Analytics cookies, which measure how the site is used, and Google Ads cookies, which measure our advertising and support remarketing. Advertising cookies from the platforms we advertise on - Meta, TikTok and Taboola - may also be set through Google Tag Manager once you accept. These are set by those companies, and their own privacy and cookie notices govern how the data is used.

You can block cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to access all or parts of our website.

Cookie lifetimes vary by purpose. Essential cookies last only as long as your session or until they are no longer needed. Analytics and advertising cookies set by Google can last up to 400 days.

When you first visit the site we ask whether to set analytics and advertising cookies. Nothing beyond essential cookies is set until you accept. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the ‘Cookie settings’ link in the footer of every page, which reopens this prompt.
