Terms of Service

Use of this site is on the terms below. They exist to be clear about what published guidance is and what it is not.

Limitation of Liability

Responsibility for how the information is used rests with the reader. Nothing published here carries a guarantee of outcome, and no claim arising from one will be entertained beyond what the law requires.

Intellectual Property

Copyright in the material here is retained. Short extracts with a credit and a link may be used freely; copying a page wholesale may not.

Changes

What appears on this page is the current agreement. Earlier versions are superseded rather than archived.

Accuracy

Accuracy is the aim and not a promise. Regulations and market prices both change faster than published guidance does.

Third Party Sites

Other sites are linked on merit and nothing more. The linked organization, its services and its accuracy are its own affair.

Information, Not Professional Advice

Nothing published here is professional advice. Painters work varies with the building, the site and the local rules, and only somebody who has examined the actual work can advise on it.
