Terms and Conditions for Man With Van Yeading

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Man With Van Yeading provides moving, transportation and related labour services to residential and commercial customers. By making a booking, the customer confirms that they have read, understood and agreed to these terms. These conditions are intended to create a clear and fair agreement between the customer and the service provider, covering the booking process, payments, cancellations, liability, waste handling, and the law that applies to the contract. For the purposes of this document, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the service provider, and “you” or “the customer” refers to the person making the booking or receiving the service.

Our man with van service in Yeading may include single-item transport, partial loads, furniture moving, local removals, delivery assistance, loading and unloading labour, and other agreed transport tasks. The exact nature of the work will depend on the booking details confirmed before the job starts. We reserve the right to refuse any job that is unsafe, illegal, or materially different from the agreed scope. The customer is responsible for ensuring that the requested service is accurately described at the time of booking, including the size and number of items, access conditions, floor levels, parking arrangements and any special handling requirements.

These terms apply to all bookings made with Yeading man and van services, whether the booking is made by phone, email, online enquiry form, message, or any other accepted method. If there is any conflict between a written quotation and these Terms and Conditions, the written quotation will take priority to the extent of that conflict, but only for the specific items or charges expressly stated in the quotation. Any variation must be agreed in writing before the service begins.

Booking Process
To make a booking, the customer must provide accurate and complete information about the job. This normally includes the collection and delivery addresses, preferred date and time, item list, size and quantity of goods, loading conditions, and any access restrictions such as narrow staircases, lift limitations, or parking constraints. We may ask follow-up questions to ensure that the quotation and booking details are correct. A booking is only confirmed when we have accepted the request and, where applicable, received any required deposit or written confirmation.

Once a booking has been confirmed, the customer should review all details carefully. It is the customer’s responsibility to notify us of any errors or changes as soon as possible. Changes to the job, such as additional stops, extra items, waiting time, or a later completion time, may result in an adjusted charge. We will always try to accommodate reasonable changes, but cannot guarantee availability if the revised request differs significantly from the original booking. For the avoidance of doubt, a man with van booking is made for a specific time window rather than an absolute guarantee of a minute-by-minute arrival time unless expressly stated otherwise.

If our team arrives and the customer is not present, or access cannot be gained, we may treat this as a failed attendance and charge accordingly. If the goods are not ready for collection when we arrive, or if the premises are unsuitable for the safe carrying out of the work, waiting fees, abortive journey charges or rescheduling charges may apply. The customer must ensure that all goods are ready, properly packed where appropriate, and suitable for transport at the agreed time. We are not responsible for delays caused by incomplete instructions, incorrect addresses, missed parking arrangements, or failure by the customer to prepare the items.

Payments and Charges
All charges will be based on the agreed quotation, the final scope of work, and any additional time or services requested by the customer. Unless stated otherwise, prices may be calculated by time, mileage, labour, or a fixed rate. Any estimate given before the booking is confirmed is provided in good faith but may change if the information supplied by the customer was incomplete or inaccurate. The customer agrees to pay all applicable charges, including waiting time, parking costs, congestion-related costs where relevant, tolls, additional labour, and any extras agreed during the job.

Payment is normally due on completion of the service unless a different arrangement has been agreed in advance. We may require a deposit, advance payment, or partial payment for larger jobs, urgent bookings, or repeat services. Accepted payment methods may include bank transfer, card payment, cash, or other methods agreed beforehand. Any invoice issued must be paid within the timeframe stated on the invoice. If payment is not made on time, we may charge reasonable interest and recovery costs in accordance with applicable law. All quoted prices are exclusive of charges arising from inaccurate booking information unless otherwise stated.

Where the customer requests extra work during the service, such as dismantling, assembling, additional lifting, multiple trips, or extended waiting, these additions may be chargeable at our standard rates or at another rate agreed at the time. The customer must settle any balance due before or immediately after completion unless a written credit arrangement has been made. We reserve the right to suspend or refuse further services where outstanding amounts remain unpaid. No set-off or deduction may be made by the customer unless required by law or expressly agreed by us in writing.

The customer may cancel or amend a booking by giving reasonable notice. Cancellation fees may apply depending on how close to the scheduled date and time the cancellation is made, and whether any preparatory work, reserved vehicle time, or third-party costs have already been incurred. If the customer cancels at short notice, we may charge a percentage of the agreed fee or the full amount for lost time, depending on the circumstances and the resources already committed to the job. Any deposit paid may be retained, in whole or in part, to cover administration and lost availability.

If we need to cancel or reschedule due to circumstances beyond our control, such as vehicle breakdown, severe traffic disruption, extreme weather, illness, or safety concerns, we will use reasonable efforts to inform the customer promptly and offer an alternative date or time where possible. Our liability for such cancellation will be limited to any sum already paid for the specific service that cannot be performed, unless otherwise required by law. We will not be responsible for indirect losses arising from a cancelled or delayed Yeading man with van service, including missed appointments, lost earnings, or inconvenience, except to the extent such losses are directly caused by our negligence and are recoverable by law.

Where the customer wishes to change the date, time, vehicle size, number of operatives, or scope of the service, the revised booking will be subject to availability and may be priced differently. Amendments made after confirmation may also affect any estimated arrival time or completion time. If a booking is postponed, the customer may be responsible for any non-recoverable costs already committed on their behalf. We recommend that all changes are made as early as possible so that they can be properly assessed and recorded.

Liability and Customer Responsibilities
We will take reasonable care when handling and transporting goods, but the customer remains responsible for ensuring that items are suitably packed, labelled and protected for transit unless packing has been expressly included in the agreed service. Fragile items, valuables, cash, jewellery, antiques, artwork, electronics, documents, plants and perishable goods are moved entirely at the customer’s risk unless we have expressly agreed in writing to accept a higher level of responsibility. The customer should tell us in advance about any items of exceptional value or fragility so that appropriate arrangements can be considered.

Our liability for loss or damage will be limited to direct loss caused by our proven negligence, breach of contract or wilful misconduct, and only to the extent permitted by law. We will not be liable for pre-existing damage, wear and tear, items inadequately packed by the customer, or damage resulting from hidden defects in furniture, fittings, walls, doors or access routes. We are not responsible for damage caused by unsuitable access, unsecured loads presented by the customer, or items that are too heavy, unstable or dangerous to move safely. The customer should remove items from cupboards, disconnect appliances where required, and ensure that any hidden contents are secured before the job begins.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded. If a claim for damage or loss arises, the customer must notify us as soon as reasonably possible and provide evidence of the issue. We may require photographs, a description of the circumstances, proof of value, and access to inspect the item or area concerned. Any claim must be kept proportionate and limited to the reasonable repair or replacement cost, taking into account age, condition and depreciation where applicable.

If our service includes the removal or disposal of unwanted items, the customer must ensure that all materials are accurately described and separated where necessary. We will only remove waste that we are legally permitted to transport and dispose of. The customer remains responsible for declaring whether items are household waste, reusable goods, electrical items, bulky waste, or other regulated materials. We may refuse to transport or dispose of anything that is hazardous, contaminated, illegal, or unsuitable for collection under applicable waste rules. This includes, but is not limited to, asbestos, chemicals, oils, fuel, medical waste, gas cylinders, pressurised containers and live ammunition.

Where waste collection is part of the service, the customer acknowledges that the proper transfer, handling and disposal of waste must comply with UK waste regulations, environmental law and any relevant licensing requirements. We may need to make additional charges for disposal fees, recycling charges, or specialist handling costs. If the customer places prohibited items in a load without informing us, the customer may be liable for any resulting loss, delay, fine, penalty, clean-up cost or enforcement action. We do not accept responsibility for waste that has been misdescribed or concealed by the customer.

Our man with van hire terms do not permit the transport of goods for unlawful purposes, and we reserve the right to stop or refuse any collection if we suspect that the load contains illegal, dangerous or undeclared material. The customer must also not ask us to breach any parking, access, road use or environmental restriction. Any request that would place us in breach of the law or our operating obligations may be refused without liability to the customer. Where waste disposal requires a receipt, record or transfer note, we will provide this where legally required and where the service arrangement includes such documentation.

We may carry commercial vehicle insurance and public liability cover appropriate to the services we offer, but any insurance protection is subject to the specific policy terms, exclusions and limits. The customer is responsible for arranging adequate insurance for goods that require a higher level of protection than standard transport cover provides. We strongly recommend that the customer checks whether their own contents, business or transit insurance is suitable for the items being moved. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, we do not provide goods-in-transit cover beyond any minimum legal or policy-based obligations that apply.

We shall not be in breach of these Terms and Conditions, nor liable for delay or failure to perform, where the delay or failure is caused by events outside our reasonable control. Such events may include accidents, road closures, adverse weather, strikes, civil disturbance, public emergency, equipment failure, supply disruption, or the inability to obtain access to a property. In these circumstances, we may suspend performance, rebook the service, or terminate the affected booking if performance becomes impractical or unsafe. A reasonable attempt will be made to minimise inconvenience, but no guarantee can be given that any particular delay will be avoided.

The customer must ensure that their instructions are lawful, accurate and complete. By booking a man with van service, the customer confirms that they have authority to request the work at the stated address and to permit access for loading or unloading. If the customer is acting on behalf of another person, they warrant that they have permission to accept these terms. Any person who signs, confirms or pays for the service on behalf of the customer shall be treated as authorised to do so.

These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where another jurisdiction is required by mandatory law. If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. Failure by us to enforce any right or provision shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

The headings used in this document are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. References to statutes or legal obligations include any amendments, re-enactments or replacement legislation. If there is any inconsistency between a quotation, booking confirmation and these terms, the order of precedence shall be: first, the written booking confirmation or quotation for the specific job; second, these Terms and Conditions; and third, any informal communication not confirmed in writing. These terms are intended to be fair, clear and reasonable for both parties and to support a reliable Yeading man with van service for lawful transport and moving work.
