Terms and Conditions for Man With Van Lamorbey

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Man With Van Lamorbey provides removal, transport, loading, unloading, and related moving services within the UK. By making a booking, accepting a quotation, or allowing work to begin, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms. If any part of these terms is unclear, the customer should review them carefully before confirming a booking. These terms are intended to be fair, practical, and consistent with UK consumer and business service standards.

The service may be used by private customers, landlords, tenants, and businesses requiring a man with van service, a van and driver hire arrangement, or a tailored moving solution. The scope of work will depend on the agreed booking, the information provided by the customer, and the condition of items to be moved. Any services not expressly included in the quotation are outside the original agreement unless confirmed in writing.

These terms apply to all work undertaken by Man With Van Lamorbey, including local collection, multi-item transport, short-distance removals, and associated loading or unloading tasks. They also apply to any subcontracted or additional assistance arranged in connection with the booking, unless a separate written contract states otherwise. The customer is responsible for ensuring that all information supplied at the time of booking is accurate and complete.

1. Booking Process

A booking for Man With Van Lamorbey services is only confirmed once the customer has received acceptance of the quotation and any required deposit or advance payment has been received. The quotation may be based on factors such as volume, access conditions, distance, time required, number of operatives, vehicle size, and any special handling needs. The company reserves the right to revise a quotation if the customer’s instructions, inventory, or access details change before the moving date.

To ensure an accurate booking, the customer should provide clear and honest information about all items to be moved, including approximate quantity, weight, fragile items, stairs, parking restrictions, long carries, lift availability, and any disassembly or reassembly needs. If the customer omits important information, the company may charge additional fees, alter the schedule, or decline to proceed if the job cannot be completed safely or lawfully within the original terms.

The customer must be available to confirm access arrangements and be prepared for the collection or delivery window agreed at the time of booking. While reasonable arrival estimates may be given, exact arrival times cannot always be guaranteed due to traffic, weather, loading delays, or earlier jobs running over time. Any request to change the booking date, time, address, or service scope should be made as early as possible and will be subject to availability.

2. Payments and Charges

Charges for the Lamorbey man with van service will be stated in the quotation or confirmed estimate. Unless otherwise agreed, all prices are exclusive of any additional charges that arise from waiting time, congestion, parking fees, congestion or toll charges, unscheduled extra items, difficult access, late amendments, or additional labour. The customer agrees to pay all reasonable and properly incurred charges linked to the actual service delivered.

Payment terms will be made clear before the service begins. In some cases, a deposit or part-payment may be required to secure the booking, with the balance payable on completion of the work. Payment may be taken by bank transfer, card, or another agreed method. The company is not obliged to release goods until payment has been received in full, unless a different arrangement has been agreed in writing.

Where the customer delays payment, the company may charge interest and recovery costs to the extent permitted by UK law. If payment is made by an external payer, agent, or business account holder, the person making the booking remains responsible for ensuring payment is completed. Any disputed invoice item must be raised promptly and in writing; undisputed sums remain due on the original payment date.

Additional charges may apply if the volume of goods turns out to be greater than described, if extra crew are needed, if waiting time exceeds the agreed allowance, or if the customer asks for an extended route or multiple drop-offs. The company may pause or stop work if payment terms are breached, or if the customer requests services outside the agreed quotation without authorisation.

All prices are quoted in pounds sterling unless otherwise stated. Any VAT liability, where applicable, will be identified on the quotation or invoice. The company aims to keep pricing transparent, but the final price may vary if the actual circumstances differ from the information provided during booking.

3. Cancellations, Delays, and Changes

The customer may cancel or reschedule a booking, but cancellation fees may apply depending on how much notice is given and whether resources have already been committed. If the customer cancels at short notice, after the vehicle has been dispatched, or after work has begun, the company may charge for lost time, fuel, labour, and any non-recoverable costs reasonably incurred in preparation for the job.

If the company must cancel due to vehicle failure, severe weather, unsafe conditions, staff illness, or other events outside its control, a reasonable effort will be made to offer an alternative date or solution. However, the company will not be liable for indirect losses caused by such cancellation where those losses are beyond the scope of the agreed service. The customer should make any time-sensitive arrangements with this limitation in mind.

Requests to change a booking may be accepted at the company’s discretion. Changes may affect price, duration, vehicle size, crew size, and availability. A revised quotation may be issued, and the customer will be bound by the revised terms if the change is accepted. The company is not responsible for costs resulting from the customer’s failure to provide timely notice of changes or from access problems not previously disclosed.

4. Customer Responsibilities

The customer must ensure that all items are ready for collection at the agreed time and that access routes, parking arrangements, and entry permissions are available. Where required, the customer must obtain any necessary permits, notices, building approvals, or third-party permissions. Failure to arrange suitable access may lead to delay, cancellation, or extra costs, and the company may charge for time lost as a result.

The customer is responsible for packing goods securely unless packing has been expressly included in the service. Fragile, valuable, or sentimental items should be declared in advance and protected appropriately. The company may refuse to transport items that are unsafe, improperly packed, leaking, unstable, contaminated, or likely to damage other goods or the vehicle. Any special handling requirements must be discussed before the job begins.

The customer must not include prohibited, dangerous, illegal, or undeclared waste items in the load. The company may inspect goods before loading and may refuse to carry anything that poses a risk to health, safety, property, or lawful operation. If a customer misdescribes an item, the company may stop the job, amend the price, or remove the item from the load without liability for the resulting inconvenience.

5. Liability and Insurance

The company will take reasonable care when handling and transporting goods, but liability is limited to losses caused by proven negligence and only to the extent permitted by law. The company is not liable for pre-existing damage, ordinary wear and tear, inadequate packaging, items packed by the customer, or damage arising from hidden defects, unsuitable access, or instructions given by the customer against advice.

Where the service includes loading or unloading, the customer should inspect items as soon as reasonably possible after delivery. Any damage or shortage must be reported promptly with reasonable detail. The company is not responsible for indirect loss, loss of profit, loss of business, or missed appointments, unless such liability cannot lawfully be excluded. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under UK law.

The customer is encouraged to arrange appropriate insurance for high-value items, antiques, artwork, electronics, or irreplaceable goods. If the customer fails to disclose the value or special nature of such items, any claim may be limited or rejected where the omission affected risk assessment, handling, or pricing. The company may require a written inventory for valuable goods before accepting the job.

6. Waste Regulations and Prohibited Disposal

Where the service includes removal of unwanted items, the customer must clearly identify whether goods are to be transported, donated, recycled, or treated as waste. The company will only handle waste in line with applicable UK waste regulations and environmental obligations. The customer remains responsible for the accuracy of item descriptions and for ensuring that waste is lawful to collect, carry, and dispose of.

The company will not accept asbestos, clinical waste, hazardous chemicals, pressurised containers, oils, solvents, fuel, paints, batteries, tyres, gas cylinders, contaminated materials, or any item that requires special licensing unless expressly agreed and lawful to do so. If prohibited waste is discovered during loading or transit, the company may refuse the item, return it at the customer’s expense, or arrange lawful handling where permitted and at additional cost.

The customer must not ask the company to dispose of goods in a manner that breaches local authority requirements, environmental law, or duty of care obligations. Any waste taken by the company for disposal will be managed through lawful facilities and in accordance with applicable documentation requirements. The customer may be charged for disposal fees, transfer charges, or additional handling where lawful waste disposal is requested and agreed.

7. Refusal of Service and Suspension

The company may refuse or suspend a service if the customer behaves abusively, provides false information, creates unsafe conditions, attempts to move prohibited items, or fails to pay required charges. The company may also stop work if the property environment is unsafe, if parking or access is impossible, or if continuing would breach legal or regulatory obligations. In such cases, any reasonable costs already incurred may still be charged.

Staff must not be expected to undertake actions that create undue risk, including lifting items that are excessively heavy without suitable help, carrying goods through structurally unsafe areas, or moving items that could cause damage to property or persons. If a job exceeds the original scope, the company may offer a revised service arrangement, but it is under no obligation to do so.

The company may terminate the booking without further liability if the customer fails to cooperate, becomes unreachable, or repeatedly changes instructions in a way that prevents completion. Any goods already collected will be returned, stored, or otherwise dealt with in a reasonable manner, and any extra costs caused by termination may be charged to the customer where lawful.

8. Governing Law and General Provisions

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the services, the quotation, or these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless mandatory law provides otherwise. If any clause is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining clauses will continue in full force.

No failure or delay by the company in exercising a right under these terms shall operate as a waiver of that right. Any waiver must be in writing to be effective. The company may update these terms from time to time, but the version in force at the time of booking will apply to that booking unless a later written agreement states otherwise. Customers are encouraged to keep a copy of the agreed quotation and any supporting written instructions for their records.

These terms form the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the service, except where any additional written terms have been expressly agreed. The customer acknowledges that by booking a man with van service, a van move, or a moving and transport service, they accept these conditions as fair and reasonable for the work to be carried out. The company thanks customers for their cooperation in helping each booking run safely, efficiently, and lawfully.
