Please read through all of our terms & conditions, if there is anything that you do not understand or are concerned about please ring us and we will be happy to discuss them with you.
Parking
Providing parking is the responsibility of the customer, (try to reserve a space for the van outside before it arrives or call the local council and get a suspension or permit where necessary). If there is no parking pre-arranged any parking fines received will be the responsibility of the customer and must be paid by the customer on completion.
Congestion & Toll Charges
There will be an extra charge of £8 when passing through the London Congestion Charge Zone, other congestion charge zones and tolls will be charged accordingly. (Unless otherwise stated)
Payment Requirements
Payment can be made in cash, by credit/debit card or by cheque. Cash or card payments must be done on work completion.
Card and cheque payments are subject to 3% administration charge (minimum £5).
Please note we are only able to process card payment over the telephone for security reasons.
In some cases we will require you to pay a deposit payment in advance.
Arrival / Delivery Times
We will do our best to arrive within the time scale stated, however arrival times are estimated. Delays to pick-up/delivery times are sometimes unavoidable (due to traffic, accidents, weather etc). We do not accept any responsibility for any customer loses due to unforeseen or out of our control delivery/pick-up delays.
Changes in item numbers
You may incur extra charges if the actual amount of items on the day exceeds the amount of items that were included in your quote. A couple of boxes more would not normally cause a problem, however if you have under-estimated your items by more than this the driver will add on an extra charge depending on the amount of items and time taken to load them. We also reserve the right to limit the amount of goods to the amount quoted in the booking.
Your packing Responsibilities
We accept no responsibility for damage or breakage to items that have not been packed / protected by us.
It is the customers responsibility to ensure that items will fit in the new premises (eg: size of sofa and size of aperture) Our removal drivers will not be insured to remove doors or windows in such cases and it is up to the customer to find a specialist if needed.
Awkward Access
You may incur extra charges if you have not informed us of awkward access. Awkward access can include, no vehicle access, no parking available in close proximity to the property and cramped stair and hallway conditions where large items of furniture such as sofas will not fit. We may deny to take items which are difficult to get in or out of property in case we haven’t been informed about such issue in advance.
Unforeseen Circumstances
We reserve the right to add extra costs due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g.: waiting for keys or gaining entry, incorrect addresses, removal of windows and so on).
Postponement or Cancellation
If you postpone or cancel after your booking is confirmed you will be charged 50% of the confirmed quote (minimum £45). If you postpone or cancel within 24hours of the date of the job you will be charged the value of the job in full (minimum £90). We reserve the right to cancel or change dates and times.
Staff Abuse
Verbal or threatening behavior will not be tolerated. If the driver is forced to leave the job because of abuse from the customer verbal or otherwise the customer will still be liable to pay in full
