General
Terms and Conditions
Pavers
– The Littlehampton Brick Company recommends the use
of washed concrete sand as the best base for all natural clay pavers.
This will minimise efflorescence, which is the leaching of salts from
the pavers causing a white powdery residue to accumulate on the face
of the paver. The use of any other material may increase the degree
of efflorescence. The Littlehampton Brick Company also strongly recommends
that pavers be laid on a well-drained site to help to reduce the deterioration
of the product exposed to abnormal quantities of water.
Bricks – The Littlehampton Brick Company will
not be responsible for any deterioration where bricks are insufficiently
damp or water-proofed or where they are subject to abnormal quantities
of water. It is characteristic of all the light burning clays from which
bricks are manufactured by Littlehampton Brick in South Australia that
they contain small quantities of natural salts called vanadium salts.
These water soluble salts can leach to the surface of bricks and crystallise
there as moisture dries from the brickwork. The resulting efflorescence
is coloured yellow/ brown/ green/ blue. Vanadium Efflorescence does
not cause any damage to the structure and characteristics of Littlehampton
Brick Company bricks, nor will the treatments approved by the Littlehampton
Brick Company to remove the colouring. For further information on vanadium
efflorescence, contact Littlehampton Brick.
Size Variation – The stated sizes of all Littlehampton
Brick Company products are nominal sizes only.
Size variation can occur as a result of the manufacturing process
Colour Variation – All natural clay Bricks and
Pavers are sold as a blend. Because of the manufacturing process, some
colour variation can occur. All endeavours are made to match samples
and keep orders consistent, but some slight variance may occur. The
Littlehampton Brick Company recommend when laying clay bricks or pavers
to work from 3 pallets at any one time.
Breakage & Chipping – Every effort is made
by the Littlehampton Brick Company to minimise breakage and chipping.
The Littlehampton Brick Company and its associated companies will not
accept claims for chipping and breakages under 5% of the number ordered.
Returns – The Littlehampton Brick Company will
not accept returns. Claims for faulty products will not be accepted
once laid. No returns will be accepted from over ordering by either
client/builder or from
estimations completed by the Littlehampton Brick Company.
