3. Spares policy

CESN have a stock holding policy for spare parts and components. Where spares have to be ordered, we shall order them on the same day as the estimate is approved, but in any event no later than the day following. Customers will be advised of any delay due to spares order placement. An effective order progress system is maintained by CESN.

An effective “work in progress” system is maintained in our service centre and clients will be informed of any repair in progress with an excessive delay.

All components will be at least equal to the original manufacturer’s specification or British standards institute specification, whichever is relevant.

Where a manufacturer’s warranty is applicable, CESN do not charge for any component unless the manufacturer refuses a free issue, free exchange or claimback value.

Repairs of all products are under guarantee against the recurrence of the same fault for a period of ninety days (this includes parts and labour).
