You will notice that many of the products we sell in store are not available for mail order. It is not that we don't want to supply you. Instead it is our belief that these products require demonstration and installation, something that is only possible if you are based in East Yorkshire. We are not prepared to compromise the performance by not being able to ensure the job is done right. We will however gladly point you in the direction of a retailer more local to yourself who will be able to help.
