To help keep our customers and branch colleagues safe, and in line with the government's announcement 14th July, we want to remind you it is now mandatory that face coverings are worn by customers.
Yes indeed, we take the safety of both our customers and staff very seriously. We’ve been working closely with our suppliers across the globe to ensure we’re following public health guidance at every stage. And whilst the risk of spread is extremely low via transmission from item to item, we’ve made sure all of our warehouse staff and delivery teams are using protective masks, gloves and cleaning sanitisers. Our priority is to make sure all products are safe to be delivered

Great news! The advice from the government is that we are now able to deliver your furniture into your home.
We’re now booking in deliveries for next week. It’s an all-day call but the drivers will call you around an hour before to advise they are on their way

Due to the nature of our products, our delivery crews must enter your home in order to complete the delivery/installation service. The same applies to our carpet/flooring fitters and surveyors. All of these services are currently on hold, however, from next week we will be re-opening one of our regional distribution centres, and a small number of delivery teams will begin delivering again on Wednesday 20th May. This will allow us to evaluate the detailed safety procedures we have put in place before we become fully operational again. If successful, full delivery will be available by the end of May with further ‘home visit’ services resuming soon after (subject, of course to further government updates).
In the meantime, if you’re expecting a delivery, your order will be stored safely in one of our secure units until our delivery service resumes. All orders will then be prioritised and we’ll be in touch to rearrange a delivery slot in due course. When home visits/deliveries re-start we’ll be following the Government’s advice closely and putting a number of special measures in place to keep both our staff and customers safe. Some of these measures will include;

At ScS the safety of our staff is paramount so unfortunately, if you are self-isolating when delivery re-starts, we won’t be able to deliver your order. Please let us know in plenty of time, and we’ll happily rearrange a new delivery date for you once you’re fit and well again.
We will, of course, hold onto your order at no extra cost until you’re able to take delivery safely.
