All items must be in new condition, meet UK health and safety requirements, and be suitable for families with young children. Items will need to be delivered on agreed dates and placed in the correct locations. White goods such as cookers and washing machines should also be installed. Gas appliances must be installed by a registered Gas Safe tradesperson and certification must be provided. Qualified plumbers and electricians will also be required, and any other relevant certification must be provided.
