Holyrood Architectural Salvage — Terms & Conditions
Last updated: 16 October 2026
1. About Us
Holyrood Architectural Salvage is the trading name of Barlas Salvage Limited, a company registered in Scotland (SC880364).
We specialise in reclaimed, antique, vintage and architectural salvage items, including fireplaces, doors, lighting, furniture, radiators and decorative architectural features.
These terms apply to purchases made through our website, by telephone, email or in person at our showroom, subject to applicable consumer protection legislation.
Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.
2. Nature and Condition of Our Stock
Many of our products are reclaimed, antique or second-hand and may have been in use for many decades.
Age-related characteristics can include scratches, marks, old repairs, paint, wear, chips, minor distortion, historic alterations and variations in colour or finish.
We make reasonable efforts to describe and photograph items accurately, including significant defects known to us. Customers should review photographs, descriptions and measurements carefully and contact us if further information is required.
The age, price, description and disclosed condition of an item are relevant when assessing its quality. However, these characteristics do not remove your statutory rights if an item is faulty, misdescribed or otherwise fails to meet the standards required by law.
3. Product Measurements and Suitability
Measurements are provided as accurately as reasonably possible but may be approximate, particularly for reclaimed or irregularly shaped items.
Customers are encouraged to verify critical dimensions before purchasing and, where appropriate, consult a qualified installer, joiner or other tradesperson.
Reclaimed doors may have variations in thickness, slight twists, historic repairs or uneven edges. Any material condition issues known to us will be described where reasonably practicable.
Please contact us before purchasing if an item must meet exact dimensions or technical requirements.
Any modifications carried out by customers or their contractors are undertaken at their own responsibility. We are not responsible for damage caused by unsuitable alterations or incorrect installation, but this does not affect statutory rights relating to faults present when the goods were supplied.
4. Prices, Orders and Payment
All prices are shown in pounds sterling.
Applicable VAT is included in the advertised selling price where required. Some eligible second-hand goods are sold under the VAT Margin Scheme, under which VAT is not separately shown or reclaimable by the purchaser.
Delivery and installation charges are not included unless expressly stated.
Full payment must normally be received before goods are released for collection or delivery, unless another arrangement has been agreed in writing.
As many items are unique, all stock is subject to availability. If an item has already sold and we cannot fulfil an order, we will notify the customer and refund any payment received for the unavailable goods.
5. Collection and Storage
Customers purchasing items for collection should normally arrange collection from our Broxburn showroom within seven days of purchase, unless another timeframe has been agreed.
Please contact us if additional time is required. We understand that larger architectural items may require transport arrangements or installation planning.
If goods remain uncollected beyond an agreed date, we will contact the customer to arrange collection or discuss reasonable storage arrangements.
Any storage charges must be agreed or clearly disclosed in advance and must be fair and reasonable.
Where goods remain uncollected for an extended period, we reserve the right to take appropriate steps after providing reasonable written notice, subject to applicable law and the customer's contractual and statutory rights.
6. Delivery Options
Delivery is available for selected items and depends on their size, weight, condition and destination.
Local Delivery
For Edinburgh and surrounding areas, we recommend Robert of 19 Couriers & Movers, an independent delivery provider.
Local delivery prices start from approximately £50, depending on location, item size and other requirements.
Customers can contact Robert directly by telephone or WhatsApp on 07858 560348 to discuss availability and pricing.
Where customers contract directly with an independent delivery provider, that provider's own service terms may also apply.
UK-Wide Specialist Delivery
For suitable items, we can arrange quotations for specialist courier delivery throughout mainland UK.
Customers should request and confirm a delivery quotation before purchasing if delivery is required.
Delivery prices and estimated timescales will be confirmed separately. Delivery is not included in the product price unless expressly agreed.
Responsibility During Delivery
Responsibility for goods during transport will be determined in accordance with applicable consumer law and the delivery arrangements agreed.
Where Holyrood arranges delivery, goods generally remain at our risk until received by the customer or their nominated recipient.
Where a customer independently commissions a carrier who was not offered by Holyrood as a delivery option, different statutory rules may apply.
Customers are encouraged to inspect deliveries promptly and contact us as soon as possible if they have concerns about damage, missing items or incorrect goods. A delay in reporting does not automatically remove statutory rights.
7. Returns and Cancellation — Online, Telephone and Other Distance Purchases
Where a consumer purchases goods through a qualifying distance contract, they will generally have the right to cancel without giving a reason within 14 days after receiving the goods, subject to applicable legal exceptions.
To exercise this right, the customer must notify us clearly by email, letter or another unambiguous statement within the cancellation period.
Customers must normally return the goods within 14 days of notifying us of cancellation.
Unless otherwise agreed, customers are responsible for the direct cost of returning goods when cancelling because they have changed their mind, provided the required information about return costs was supplied before purchase.
Some large or heavy architectural items cannot reasonably be returned by ordinary post. Any applicable return transport costs or reasonable estimates will be provided before the customer becomes bound by the purchase.
We will refund payments as required by law, including applicable standard outward delivery charges. Refunds will normally be made using the original payment method.
Where we have not agreed to collect the goods, we may withhold reimbursement until the goods are returned or the customer provides evidence of having sent them back, whichever is earlier.
Customers may inspect goods as they would reasonably be able to in a shop. Where handling beyond what is necessary to establish their nature, characteristics and functioning reduces their value, a lawful deduction may be made.
Certain goods, including items genuinely made to a customer's specifications or clearly personalised, may be exempt from the statutory change-of-mind cancellation right. Any applicable exception will be explained before purchase.
8. Returns — Showroom Purchases
Customers purchasing goods in person at our showroom do not normally have an automatic legal right to return non-faulty items simply because they have changed their mind.
Any discretionary return, exchange or credit arrangement must be agreed with us.
This does not affect statutory rights relating to faulty, misdescribed or otherwise non-conforming goods.
9. Faulty or Misdescribed Goods
We aim to supply goods that are accurately described and meet the standards required by the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
If an item is faulty, not as described or otherwise fails to meet those standards, customers may be entitled to a refund, repair, replacement or price reduction, depending on the circumstances.
These rights apply to second-hand and antique items, taking account of their age, price, description and condition.
A defect that was clearly disclosed before purchase, or damage caused by subsequent misuse or alteration, will be assessed differently from an undisclosed fault.
Please contact us promptly with your order details and photographs where possible so we can investigate and arrange an appropriate resolution.
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes statutory consumer rights.
10. Fireplaces, Mantels, Inserts and Installation
Our fireplaces, mantels, inserts and related items may be antique, reclaimed or made from natural materials.
Natural variations in stone, marble, slate, timber and cast iron are common. Historic repairs, fills and other condition details will be disclosed where reasonably practicable.
Customers should ensure that a fireplace or associated item is suitable for its intended installation before fitting.
Holyrood does not normally undertake fireplace installation. We can provide contact details for independent installers, but customers are responsible for agreeing the scope, price and scheduling of installation directly with their chosen contractor.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise, installation services are provided under a separate agreement between the customer and installer.
Any installer recommendation does not remove responsibilities that Holyrood may have under applicable law.
Customers should arrange for appropriate professional advice regarding structural work, flues, ventilation, gas appliances, solid-fuel appliances and any required permissions or consents.
11. Bespoke and Altered Items
Where customers request made-to-measure work, alterations or personalisation, specifications should be agreed in writing before work begins.
Customers are responsible for checking measurements and specifications they provide.
Goods genuinely made to a customer's specifications or clearly personalised may be excluded from the statutory distance-selling change-of-mind cancellation right.
This does not affect rights where goods are faulty, incorrectly supplied or do not conform to the agreed specification.
12. Reclaimed Doors
Our reclaimed doors may show signs of age, historic alterations, previous fittings, repairs, uneven edges or some degree of movement.
We encourage customers to check dimensions carefully and seek advice from their joiner before purchasing, particularly where trimming or modification is required.
Where known, significant distortion or other material condition issues will be disclosed.
Any alterations, including trimming, stripping, glazing or replacing panels, should be carried out by a competent professional.
Returns and cancellation rights depend on how the goods were purchased, their condition and applicable consumer legislation, as explained in Sections 7–9.
13. Electrical Items, Stoves and Radiators
Reclaimed electrical fittings, lighting and appliances may require inspection, testing, restoration or rewiring before use.
Unless expressly described as tested and ready for use, customers should arrange inspection by a suitably qualified professional before installation or connection.
Gas and solid-fuel appliances must be assessed and installed by appropriately qualified professionals in accordance with relevant safety requirements.
Reclaimed radiators may require pressure testing, cleaning or restoration before installation. Any known testing status will be stated in the product description or communicated before sale.
Descriptions such as "untested" or "for restoration" explain the condition in which an item is offered but do not exclude statutory rights.
14. Independent Contractors and Third-Party Services
We may provide contact details for independent couriers, installers, restorers or other service providers.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise, any services booked directly by customers with these providers are subject to separate arrangements.
Customers should confirm prices, availability, insurance, responsibilities and service terms directly with the provider.
Nothing in this section excludes any legal responsibility that Holyrood may have in relation to the goods sold or services arranged by us.
15. Business Purchases
Where goods are purchased wholly or mainly for business purposes, different legal provisions may apply from those protecting individual consumers.
Any specific trade terms, bulk-purchase arrangements or commercial agreements should be confirmed in writing before purchase.
