What is covered

When creating a new hearth, your design options are nearly limitless, but most orders fall most commonly into these categories 

• T-shaped

• Rectangular

• Custom-shaped

Supply Only / Supply & Fit

• DSS deliver throughout the UK - via their own fleet of vehicles or 3rd party couriers 

• DSS can also provide installation services should that be required 

How It Works 

Your requirement

• 1. We just need a simple hand-drawn sketch - send it to us by email, SMS, WhatsApp, etc.

  2. Provide as much information as you can, i.e the surface, thickness, edge detail, delivery postcode, etc

Get an initial estimate 

• 3. We will provide an estimate and assign a unique reference "DSS-XXXX"

  4. The estimate will outline all costs and timescales 

Connecting the parties

• 5. If you are happy with the estimate, we will connect you and DSS by email and/or set up a WhatsApp group 

  6. DSS will communicate with you directly to confirm all details and confirm all details

  7. DSS invoices you directly - no added markups to save costs and time

  8. DSS will schedule the fabrication and organise delivery

  9. DSS handles the order from start to finish 

  10. DSS acts as one central point of contact 

Benefits

• Saves Time: Unlike some companies, where the options available for customisation are limited, we can offer the full range by working with DSS in partnership 

• Saves money: DSS invoices you directly, no additional markups

• Simple communication. Once the initial estimate is approved, all communications are with DSS: invoicing, fabrication, delivery, etc.

• One-stop: For regular off-the-shelf slabs that do not require advanced cutting or fabrication, simply buy from our ready stock sizes. But for more advanced requirements, work with DSS. We have you covered

No VAT

• DSS does not charge VAT - this can be beneficial for those trade customers who are not VAT registered and/or deal primarily with retail customers.
