Next-day delivery charges are normally between £14.99 and £24.99 including VAT. The order cut-off is 1:30pm Monday to Friday.

Availability depends on stock, product type, delivery location and dispatch arrangements. Not all products or pallet orders qualify for next-day delivery.

Please check the delivery options at checkout or contact us if you need to confirm a delivery date.

When will my order be dispatched?

Dispatch times depend on stock availability, product type, order processing and the manufacturer's supply arrangements.

Delivery estimates generally run from the point of dispatch, not necessarily the moment the order is placed.

If your order is time-sensitive, contact us before ordering so that we can check the expected dispatch arrangements.

Do you deliver pallets and heavy products?

Yes. Certain heavy, bulky or large-quantity orders are delivered using pallet or specialist transport services.

Pallet delivery charges, lead times and unloading arrangements can differ from standard parcel deliveries. Delivery is generally kerbside unless another arrangement has been agreed in advance.

For larger quantities, visit our Pallet Rates page or contact our team for a quotation.

Do you deliver throughout the UK?

Clever Shield supplies customers throughout the UK. Delivery availability, charges and lead times depend on the destination, product and transport requirements.

Some remote, offshore and specialist delivery destinations may require an individual quotation.

What should I do if my delivery is delayed?

If your delivery has not arrived within the expected timeframe, contact us with your order number.

We can help check the available dispatch and tracking information and advise on the next steps.

What to do if goods are damaged, incorrect or need to be returned.

Can I return a product if I ordered too much?

Returns are subject to the applicable Returns & Refund Policy and the nature of the products supplied.

Certain products, including bespoke, specially ordered, made-to-specification or other excluded goods, may not be eligible for return.

Please check the full Returns & Refund Policy before ordering. We recommend checking quantities carefully before placing an order, particularly for specialist coatings and waterproofing materials.

Are all products eligible for return?

No. Return eligibility depends on the product, its condition, how it was supplied and the applicable terms.

Specially ordered, custom-mixed, tinted, bespoke, made-to-specification and certain other products may be excluded. Business-to-business purchases may also be subject to different terms from consumer purchases.

Please refer to the full Returns & Refund Policy for the applicable conditions.

Who pays the cost of returning goods?

Return carriage arrangements depend on the reason for the return and the applicable policy.

Where a return is requested for reasons other than faulty or incorrectly supplied goods, the customer may be responsible for return transport costs.

Please contact us before sending anything back. Do not return goods without first obtaining return instructions.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Technical & Product Support

Product selection, compatibility, substrates and manufacturer guidance.

Can Clever Shield help me find the right product?

Yes. We can help you locate suitable products within our range and direct you to the relevant manufacturer's technical information.

To help us understand your enquiry, provide details of the application, substrate, location and the product requirements you are considering.

For manufacturer-specific technical recommendations, system design and specification, customers should consult the relevant manufacturer or a suitably qualified design professional.

Does Clever Shield design or specify waterproofing systems?

Clever Shield is a supplier of waterproofing, protective coating, insulation and construction materials. We do not undertake waterproofing design or provide project specifications.

Product suitability, system design, specification and application requirements should be confirmed using the manufacturer's current technical documentation and, where necessary, advice from the manufacturer or a suitably qualified design professional.

We can help customers locate relevant products, datasheets and manufacturer support contacts.

Can I use one manufacturer's product with another manufacturer's system?

Compatibility should never be assumed simply because products appear similar or have the same intended use.

Primers, membranes, coatings, reinforcement materials, sealants and ancillary products may have specific compatibility requirements.

Always check the manufacturer's current technical datasheets and obtain written confirmation from the manufacturer where compatibility is uncertain.

Where can I find coverage rates and application quantities?

Coverage rates and consumption figures are normally provided in the manufacturer's technical datasheet for the individual product.

Actual consumption can vary depending on substrate condition, porosity, surface preparation, application method, temperature and specified coating thickness.

Always use the manufacturer's stated coverage and application requirements when calculating quantities.

Where can I find primer and substrate preparation requirements?

Refer to the product's current manufacturer's datasheet. This should identify substrate requirements, preparation, primer selection, application conditions and any relevant limitations.

Do not assume that a primer or preparation method suitable for one product will be suitable for another.

Can I apply a product to a damp or wet surface?

This depends entirely on the product formulation and the manufacturer's stated application requirements. Some products tolerate damp substrates, while others require a dry surface.

Check the datasheet for moisture limits, substrate conditions and application restrictions before use.

Where can I get advice about a particular application?

Contact our team with the product name, intended application and relevant project information. We can help locate the appropriate manufacturer documentation and technical support route.

Call 01268 472358 or email info@clevershield.co.uk.
