1. The principle
We'd rather come back and fix something than refund you and have you live with a result you didn't want. So our default offer is always a return visit at no cost. Refunds happen when a return visit isn't appropriate — you've used a different installer already, or the work simply couldn't be done.
2. Cancelling before the visit
If you cancel more than 24 hours before the arrival window, any deposit is refunded in full within five working days.
If you cancel inside 24 hours, a small $35 dispatch fee covers the reserved van slot, and the rest of any deposit is refunded.
If we cancel for any reason — illness, road closure, supply problem — any deposit is refunded in full within five working days, and you keep priority on the next available slot.
3. Cancelling at the door
Occasionally a visit reveals that the install on your job sheet can't be done as planned — a hidden structural element, a wall that won't take an anchor, a screen larger than the photo suggested. In those cases:
- If we can re-scope on the spot, we offer you the revised flat figure; accept or decline.
- If you decline, a $45 visit fee covers our travel time and the rest of any payment is refunded.
- If the situation was caused by something the workshop should have spotted from your photo, there's no visit fee, and we refund in full.
4. After the install
If you're not happy with the finished install, the first question we ask is: would a return visit fix it? Most things — a small adjustment to the angle, a re-routed visible cable, a re-positioning by a few inches — we'd rather come back for. The return visit is always free inside the twelve-month workmanship window.
If a return visit isn't appropriate, or doesn't resolve the issue, we'll refund a fair portion of the invoice. We agree the figure with you in writing first, and send the money back within ten working days.
5. How we send the money back
Refunds are paid by the same method you used to pay us:
- Card payments are reversed through our payment processor — usually 3–5 working days.
- Bank transfers are returned to the originating account within 2 working days.
- Cheques are refunded by bank transfer if already banked, or returned by post if not.
6. When refunds don't apply
The refund policy doesn't cover:
- Damage to the screen after the install, caused by building movement or third parties.
- Failures of the screen itself, or of a bracket you supplied that fails on its own warranty.
- Re-decoration of walls (we leave anchor patches ready for paint; we don't paint).
- Cosmetic preferences you didn't mention before the install began.
7. If we disagree
If we can't agree on a fair refund figure between us, we encourage you to use your local trading-standards dispute resolution service. We always go that route before defaulting to a court — quieter, fairer, faster for both of us.
8. Starting a refund
Write to workshop@tvmountworks.online with your invoice number (it's on the signed sheet) and a short description of what's gone wrong. We reply within two working days. Where possible, we suggest a return visit first; where a refund is the right answer, we start it that day.
