Terms of Business 2026

These Terms of Business apply to all works, services, call-outs, and materials provided by Bayo Corp est 1980 Ltd ("Contractor") to the Client. Each instruction, quotation, or scope of works shall form part of these Terms unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Scope of Works

Works will be carried out in accordance with agreed quotations, specifications, drawings, or written instructions. Any items not expressly included are excluded.

Instructions and Variations

Instructions may be given verbally or in writing. All variations and additional works are chargeable. Where possible, variations will be agreed in advance; however, where works proceed on instruction, the Client accepts liability for all associated costs.

Reactive and Maintenance Works

For ad hoc works, reactive maintenance, and emergency call-outs, works may be undertaken on a time and materials basis. Labour, materials, attendance, and associated costs shall be chargeable at the Contractor's prevailing rates unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Quotations and Estimates

Quotations are valid for 14 days and are based on the information available at the time of pricing. The Contractor reserves the right to amend costs where site conditions differ, information is incomplete, or additional works are required. Estimates are indicative only and do not constitute fixed prices.

Payment Terms

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payments may be required upfront, in stages, or on completion. All invoices are payable within 7 days of issue. The Contractor reserves the right to suspend works, withhold certification or handover, and charge interest at 8% above the Bank of England base rate on overdue amounts under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.

Where works are carried out on an ongoing basis, the Contractor may issue invoices weekly, at agreed milestones, or upon completion of elements. The Contractor reserves the right to withdraw credit terms at any time.

We accept payment by Bank Transfer, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, Klarna, and Credit Cards.

Programme and Access

Programme durations and start dates are estimates only. The Contractor is not liable for delays caused by client changes, late instructions, third parties, material shortages, site conditions, access restrictions, or emergency works taking priority.

The Client shall provide access to the site, ensure all permissions and approvals are in place, provide water and electricity, arrange parking where required, and remove or protect personal belongings. Delays or costs arising from failure to do so may be chargeable.

Materials and Workmanship

Materials will be as specified or of equivalent standard where unavailable. All works will be carried out with reasonable skill and care. Minor variations in finish may occur. The Contractor accepts no liability for client-supplied materials, pre-existing defects, or hidden conditions.

Where included within the scope, works will comply with current regulations, and relevant certification will be provided. Waste removal is only included where stated. Hazardous materials, including asbestos, are excluded unless expressly agreed.

Qualified Trades and Regulatory Compliance

The Contractor takes a compliance-led approach to refurbishment, renovation and fit-out works. All work is planned and managed in accordance with the applicable Building Regulations, manufacturer requirements and recognised industry standards.

Where a particular element requires specialist qualifications, registration, certification or statutory notification, the Contractor appoints appropriately qualified and registered professionals to undertake and certify that work. This may include Gas Safe registered engineers for gas installations; NICEIC or NAPIT registered electricians for notifiable electrical work; G3-qualified engineers for unvented and pressurised hot-water cylinders; Part F-competent ventilation installers for extractor, MEV and MVHR systems; FENSA or Certass registered installers for qualifying replacement windows and external doors; and HETAS registered installers for wood-burning and solid-fuel appliances.

Where relevant, the Contractor also engages OFTEC registered engineers for oil-fired systems, MCS-certified installers for qualifying renewable technologies, F-Gas-certified contractors for regulated air-conditioning work, and suitably qualified specialists for fire doors, passive fire protection, asbestos, structural alterations and other controlled work.

Where work cannot be self-certified through an authorised Competent Person Scheme, the appropriate Building Control notification, inspection and approval process will be followed.

Applicable installation certificates, commissioning records, test results, warranties and Building Regulations compliance documents are obtained and included within the project handover information where required.

Specific qualifications, registrations and certification requirements are confirmed against the scope of each individual project. Any regulated work is undertaken and certified only by professionals authorised for that particular category of work.

Health and Safety

The Contractor will comply with all relevant health and safety legislation and maintains appropriate public liability insurance (£5,000,000) and employer's liability insurance (£10,000,000). The current employers liability certificate is issued by Markel International Insurance Company Limited under policy ACC00000464 and is valid from 16 July 2026 to 15 July 2027.

Liability

The Contractor shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential losses, including loss of profit, rent, business interruption, or delays to third-party works. Liability is limited to the value of the works carried out. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any matter that cannot be excluded by law.

Defects Liability

A defects liability period of 3 months applies from the date of practical completion unless otherwise agreed in writing. This excludes fair wear and tear, misuse, reactive or temporary repairs, and works altered by others.

Ownership of Materials

All materials remain the property of the Contractor until full payment has been received.

Suspension and Termination

The Contractor may suspend or terminate works where payments are overdue, instructions are unclear or withheld, or the Client is in breach of these Terms. All costs incurred up to the date of termination shall remain payable.

Formal Contracts

For larger or formally procured projects, a separate written contract (including but not limited to JCT forms of contract) may be entered into. In such cases, the terms of that contract shall take precedence over these Terms of Business in the event of any conflict.

Dispute Resolution

In the event of a dispute, both parties agree to attempt resolution through good-faith negotiation. Bayocorp is a member of the Federation of Master Builders (FMB), which provides a free dispute resolution service for clients of Federation of Master Builders (FMB) members. These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Acceptance

By instructing works, the Client confirms acceptance of these Terms of Business. These Terms shall apply to all current and future works unless superseded in writing.
