Guarantees
Massey and Harris are proud to offer the following guarantees
Key Terms and Conditions: Massey and Harris are proud to offer the guarantees stipulated below. Massey and Harris offer the guarantees based on the condition that the play equipment has been regularly maintained in line with what would be expected. Please contact the Head Office if you’d like to discuss maintenance and inspection routines and we’ll be more than happy to help.
Keeping your Playground Equipment in it’s best working order:
As with most items in life, the more you look after it the longer it’ll last. Playground equipment is no different. With a little bit of love and care, the playground items will last way beyond their expected life. A regular and detailed maintenance plan goes a long way in ensuring that your items will stay in their best condition. Massey and Harris recommends that you complete maintenance on the playground equipment in line with the Daily, Weekly and Monthly inspection checklist. Some items will require a simple visual check, where some items will require a more thorough check to make sure that nothings amiss.
If you require spares, Massey and Harris can offer genuine OEM spares and replacements at competitive costs. We don’t think that spares and replacements should cost the earth. You’ve paid for the product once, to keep it functioning as it is shouldn’t mean having to pay for expensive spares.
