A family workshop
New Quay Consulting grew out of a workshop full of laser cutters, 3D printers, soldering irons and network gear. What started as a hobby became a way of making useful things for friends, neighbours and local groups, and now it is open to anyone who needs a hand.
It is also where the next generation of makers are learning the craft. The kids design, cut, print and solder alongside me, so much of what leaves the workshop has been a small lesson for someone along the way.
We are deliberately small. That means short runs, personal attention and honest advice, including telling you when something is not worth fixing.

Terms of Service
Last updated: 25 September 2026
These terms apply to all work carried out by New Quay Consulting, a trading name of Craig Hill, sole trader, Dooneen, New Quay, Co. Clare, Ireland ("we", "us"). By accepting a quote you agree to these terms.
1. Quotes
All work is priced by individual quote. A quote is valid for 30 days unless stated otherwise and covers only the work described in it. If the scope changes, we will agree a revised quote with you before continuing.
2. Payment
Payment terms, including any deposit, are set out in your quote. For custom or personalised items we may ask for full or part payment before work begins. Ownership of goods passes to you on full payment.
3. Custom and personalised items
Laser cut, engraved and 3D printed items are usually made to your specification. Please check spelling, dimensions and designs carefully before approving a proof, as we produce exactly what is approved. Because these items are personalised, they cannot be returned simply because you have changed your mind. This does not affect your statutory rights where an item is faulty or not as described.
4. Your designs and content
If you supply artwork, logos, text, photos or files, you confirm that you own them or have permission to use them. We may decline work that we believe infringes someone else's rights or is offensive or unlawful.
5. Natural materials and handmade variation
Wood, leather and similar materials vary in grain and colour, and engraving results can differ slightly between pieces. Minor variation of this kind is not a defect.
6. Repairs
Devices sent for repair are already faulty, and some faults cannot be fixed economically or at all. We will tell you if that is the case before doing further work. Opening a device may affect any remaining manufacturer's warranty. Please back up any data before handing over a device, as we cannot be responsible for loss of data. Repairs are guaranteed for 90 days against failure of the specific repair carried out; this does not cover new faults, accidental damage or misuse. Devices not collected within 90 days of our notifying you that they are ready may be disposed of.
7. WiFi and network work
Network designs are based on the information and access you provide. Coverage can be affected by building materials, interference and changes made after installation. Equipment is covered by its manufacturer's warranty. You are responsible for keeping login details we hand over to you secure.
8. Websites and web apps
Once paid in full, you own the content and design created specifically for you. We may reuse general code, components and techniques in other projects. Third-party costs such as domains, hosting and paid services are your responsibility unless included in the quote. Ongoing support or changes after handover are quoted separately.
9. Liability
We carry out all work with reasonable care and skill. To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for any job is limited to the amount you paid for that job, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law or affects your rights as a consumer.
10. Cancellations
You may cancel before work begins for a full refund of any deposit. If you cancel after work has started, we may keep a fair amount to cover materials and time already used.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland, and the Irish courts have jurisdiction over any dispute.

These providers process data under their own privacy terms. Some may store data outside the EEA under appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
