Client Requirements

1. If Carmichael's are collecting the doors please the customer is required to take the doors down from their frames and placed in one location for collection. In a two storey property the doors shall be placed on the ground floor for collection ideally in the hall or garage. Carmichael's accept no responsibility for damage to property if doors are not placed in the location previously mentioned.

2. If Carmichael's are delivering the items, the doors or furniture will be placed on the ground floor hall entrance no further within the property. Carmichael's accept no responsibility for damage to property if the client requests the items to be placed in a location other than previously mentioned.

3. Carmichael's do offer a service for taking the doors off the frames, which is charged at £10 per door. This excludes rehanging which we would recommend a joiner performing. If employed to take down the door, Carmichael's will return each door to original location ready for the client to rehang.

4. All door furniture i.e. handles, locks, hooks etc must be removed previous to stripping by the customer. We can remove ironmongery on doors provided to us by a customer at a charge of £5 per door, the removal of which we do not guarantee.

Such things as scorch marks from previous stripping with blow-lamps, patches of different wood pieced in during previous repairs etc. which can often be revealed by the stripping process

10. Also it is possible that veneered items have been painted over at some time. The stripping process almost always starts to remove the veneer. We don't advise caustic stripping of veneered items so will not be held responsible if you present them to us for stripping.
