Rothwells Website Terms and Conditions

This website has been developed by H Rothwell & Co. Ltd, trading as Rothwells, in association with our supplier partners, with the aim of allowing anyone who is UK based to purchase a wide range of DIY & Professional tools.

You will find a broad range of exciting tools from a number of major manufacturers. All of our tools are carefully selected to provide quality and most of all, value for money to you the end user.

As a company with four warehouses in Rochdale, Todmorden, Nelson and Bury, we have an established reputation in these areas for quality, price and service, mainly due to our company being family run, and the fact that we have been around since 1954, the date when our company was formed.

This website is a logical extension to our established business, and gives access to the same level of service, price and quality which our existing customers enjoy, to UK wide DIY and Professional tool users.

We offer a broad range of tools direct from our warehouses to our customers.

We hope you find what you want on our site, whether you found it via a search engine query, or by entering via our website www.rothwells.co.uk . If you can’t find what you want online, then please feel free to contact us at the e-mail address, telephone or fax number shown below. We would be delighted to source the item for you, and arrange its delivery. We stock an awful lot of products which aren’t yet on the website.

Guarantees

Rothwells take great care to ensure that all the products offered in our website are of high quality. Most products carry a manufacturer’s 1 year guarantee, provided that they have been used in a correct manner. In the case of any dispute, we will ask the manufacturer for a report, their decision as final.

Some of the manufacturers offer longer guarantees than one year, and we will of course honour these, in the unlikely event it proves necessary.

You must keep and provide to us a copy of proof of the date purchased when claiming on any guarantee.
