Trade questions
Asked and answered.
The questions trade customers ask most often. For anything else, message Joseph on WhatsApp.
Do you offer trade pricing?
Yes. Trade pricing is agreed individually with each practice once your application has been reviewed. Applying does not automatically activate a trade account or discount. On the website, sets of 2 to 5 of the same design are already 5% to 8% off.
Is there a minimum order?
There is no fixed published minimum. Order requirements are agreed with you when your terms are set, depending on the pieces and quantities involved.
Can you make a custom size?
Certain designs can be adjusted by hand towards a bespoke size or profile. Exact dimensions cannot be guaranteed, so send photos and measurements and Joseph will tell you what is possible before you commit.
How long does an order take?
Every piece is cast to order in small batches. The dispatch time for each design is on its product page, and UK delivery is usually 2 to 5 working days after dispatch. Timings for larger project orders are confirmed with you.
Can pieces be painted to match a scheme?
Yes. Choose Natural White to finish on site with emulsion, limewash or a specialist paint, White Primed, Primed and Matte White, or one of six studio colours.
Will the wall lights work with existing wiring?
The mains versions take an E14 bulb and connect to an existing wall point; they are made to UK specification and must be fitted by a qualified electrician. The battery LED versions need no wiring at all.
