Beach Hut Services -

Beach Hut Services
We are currently only able to provide this service for beach huts that are 190 inches at their largest point.
Beach huts are made from wood and are exposed to salt air for long periods. As a result, they are prone to rot and, on occasion, parts may snap, fall, or break off. Due to the difficulty in determining when such damage would be considered our responsibility by underwriters, we are unable to offer insurance on beach hut services at this time.

This is standard within the industry and has been the case for us since 2019.

We can still provide this service; however, it is done at the customer’s own risk.

Damage
Screws and bolts can become worn or damaged due to weathering or previous installations. This is unavoidable and may occasionally result in damage during removal.
Felt can also be easily damaged during transport, installation, or removal. We offer replacement felt at £45.00 if purchased in advance.
Huts may also be accidentally damaged during assembly, so we recommend having your own insurance in place as a precaution.
 

Additional Items
Any additional items transported with your hut must be listed on the job sheet and paid for if you wish them to be covered by insurance.
Our operatives may, at their discretion and subject to available space, carry additional items free of charge. However, these items will not be covered by our insurance unless they are declared and paid for in advance.

Spares
Our crews carry a limited supply of spare screws, nails, and felt. If used, these are provided free of charge; however, they may differ in size or colour from your existing fittings.
If supplies run out, we may use alternative sizes to secure the hut. To ensure consistency, we recommend that you provide your own fittings.
 

Roofs
Occasionally, neighbouring beach huts may be positioned slightly outside their designated plots. This can prevent our crews from installing the roof correctly. If this occurs, please contact the bay inspector.

Deposits
Deposits are non-refundable. Any changes to the booking date will require a new deposit.

Booking
Beach hut forms are required to complete your booking.
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure all details are correct, including bay number, hut number, and collection/delivery addresses.
These forms are required:
To avoid errors in bay numbers or details

As part of both our booking process and Y/L requirements

Insurance
This service is provided at the customer’s own risk.

Why Estimated Times

The reason we can not tell you when the team is an hour away or give times. Is because the huts are roughly 15 minuites apart from collection /drop addresses.

We dont know if your hut will fit on that truck untill the hut before is loaded. If the hut before is a different shape this can add 2 to 3.5 hours on, by the time the loaded huts are completed and they are back in your area.

Thre is also limited communication due to signal on some of the bays.

We are unable to provide live updates on arrival times.
Timing is heavily dependent on factors such as:

• Phone signal on some of the bays
• The loading of previous huts and there styles 
• Delays caused by other contractors /beach hut installers 
• On-site problem solving 
• Certain styles of huts also take longer than others

​

We will update you of any significant delays once contact can be made with the crew. Please note there may be 2–3 hours between communication opportunities.
We usually provide AM or PM estimates.

Time Slots

We now offer certain days with specific time slots of your choice (Subject to availibility) We can offer these by reducing the number of services we complete on those perticular days and allowing more time, these slots are £30.00. This is to accomandate those who require a fixed time slot rather than an estimated time, and to ensure the teams pay is covered as normal.
