  2. Works cannot be complete within a live/occupied environment unless isolated with adequate ventilation. If confirmed that the area is free and there is unfettered access, should Magicman arrive and the building be live/occupied this will be classed as an “abortive visit” and the full charge will stand.
  3. Delays to Sub-Contract work beyond the control of Magicman (and accepting weather or Force Majeure) but directly attributable to others may result in additional charges.
  4. The Glass Polishing process requires the removal of some glass. The polishing process also produces heat. On rare occasions the glass may crack or break during the restoration process, this can be a result of thermal stress or more likely to other unknown existing flaws / imperfections or faults in the glass itself. Magicman does not take responsibility for this occurrence. This is due to the glass being already damaged and in need of replacement prior to our attendance.
  5. Magicman cannot be held responsible for slight distortions caused by the polishing process (as glass polishing is a technique of removing material and not adding material) in cases of distortion beyond the acceptable GGF regulations no charge will be made.

  8. All estimates, costs and invoices are stated in United Kingdom Pounds Sterling (£UK).
  9. Repairs may require adjacent masking, this involves the use of low-tac tape, which may on occasion lift wall finishings or paint work.
