  • This item is in UK stock and ships to you from within the UK, so the order never crosses a customs border on its way to you.

  • The manufacturer warranty is honoured here in the UK. If something fails, you deal with us, not with an overseas seller in another time zone.

  • Our own UK-based engineers install, commission and support what we sell, and can attend site when a system needs hands on it.
