Removal Company Queens Park Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which our removal company Queens Park services are provided. By making a booking, confirming a quotation, or allowing our team to begin work, you agree to be bound by these terms. Please read them carefully before arranging any move, clearance, or related service. These terms are intended to be clear, fair, and consistent with UK consumer and service law.
In these terms, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the service provider; references to “you” and “your” mean the customer, client, or person authorising the work. Where a booking is made on behalf of another person, the individual making the booking confirms that they have authority to do so and will ensure that all relevant information is accurate and complete. Our role is to provide removal and related services in a professional manner, using reasonable care and skill.
These terms apply to domestic and commercial customers, unless a separate written agreement has been agreed in advance. Any special conditions, written quotations, service notes, or agreed amendments form part of the contract only if we confirm them in writing. If there is any inconsistency between these terms and a specific written agreement, the written agreement will take priority to the extent of that inconsistency.
Booking Process
A booking is not confirmed until we have accepted your request and issued a written confirmation, which may include email confirmation, a quotation acceptance, or a booking reference. During the booking process, you must provide accurate details about the job, including the collection and delivery addresses, access conditions, item volumes, parking restrictions, staircase or lift access, and any items requiring special handling. A removal service depends on accurate information, and any omission may affect the price, scheduling, or suitability of the planned service.
We may provide an estimate or quotation based on the details supplied by you. Unless clearly stated otherwise, quotations are based on the information available at the time and may be revised if the scope of work changes. This includes changes to the amount of goods, additional pick-ups or drop-offs, delays caused by access problems, or the need for extra labour, equipment, packaging, or vehicle capacity. We reserve the right to decline or adjust a booking if the working conditions differ materially from those originally described.
You are responsible for ensuring that all items are ready for removal at the agreed time and that the premises are accessible. Unless otherwise agreed, you must arrange suitable parking permissions, loading access, and any required building approvals. If our team is prevented from starting or completing the work due to access issues, incorrect information, or your failure to prepare the property, we may charge for waiting time, abortive attendance, or rearranged attendance. Any requested changes should be communicated as soon as possible, and we will confirm whether such changes can be accommodated.
Payments, Charges, and Invoicing
Our charges may be based on an hourly rate, fixed fee, quotation, or a combination of these methods. Unless stated otherwise, all prices are exclusive of VAT where VAT applies. The final amount payable may include labour, vehicle use, packing materials, fuel-related charges, congestion or parking charges, disposal fees where applicable, and any additional services agreed during the job. A Queens Park removals service can only be priced accurately when the job specification is complete and reliable.
Payment terms will be confirmed in advance and may require a deposit, part-payment, or full payment before, during, or immediately after completion of the service. We accept payment only by the methods we specify at the time of booking or invoicing. If payment is not made when due, we may charge reasonable late-payment interest and recovery costs to the extent permitted by law. Any unpaid sums may be pursued through lawful debt recovery procedures.
Where a quotation is fixed, it applies only to the agreed services and assumptions. If additional work is requested on the day, we will endeavour to provide a revised estimate before carrying it out, but urgent operational requirements may mean that the extra work is billed afterwards. You agree to pay for any lawful additional costs arising from delays, extra labour, waiting time, failed access, or the discovery of items that require specialist handling. We do not accept responsibility for costs incurred due to inaccurate information supplied by you.
Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Non-Attendance
You may request cancellation or rescheduling of your booking, and we ask that you provide notice as early as possible. If you cancel within a short period before the scheduled service, we may apply a cancellation fee to reflect administrative time, lost availability, and any preparatory costs already incurred. The amount of any fee will be reasonable and proportionate, taking into account the timing of the cancellation and the resources reserved for your booking.
If we need to cancel or reschedule due to circumstances beyond our control, including vehicle failure, severe weather, unsafe conditions, staff illness, traffic disruption, or events that make performance impracticable, we will aim to notify you promptly and offer an alternative date where possible. We are not liable for indirect losses arising from such changes, provided we have acted reasonably and communicated in good faith. This does not affect any rights you may have where cancellation results from our breach of contract.
You must be present, or have an authorised representative present, at the start and completion of the service unless we have agreed otherwise in writing. If you are not available and no alternative arrangements have been confirmed, we may treat the booking as cancelled or charge for an unsuccessful attendance. If keys, codes, or other access arrangements are required and are not provided on time, any resulting delays or abortive attendance may be chargeable.
Liability and Service Limitations
We will carry out the service with reasonable care and skill, using competent staff and appropriate equipment. However, certain risks are inherent in removals, handling, lifting, loading, and transportation. We are not responsible for loss or damage caused by items that were inadequately packed by you, fragile goods not declared in advance, concealed defects, or the inherent nature of the goods themselves. Where you choose to pack items personally, you remain responsible for the suitability of the packing materials and method used.
Our liability for foreseeable loss or damage is limited to the extent permitted by law. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Subject to that, we will not be liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of opportunity, or business interruption unless expressly agreed in writing. Any claim for damage must be notified to us as soon as reasonably practicable and, where possible, before items are unpacked or moved from the delivery location.
If damage or loss is alleged, we may request evidence, photographs, purchase records, repair estimates, or other reasonable documentation. We reserve the right to inspect the affected item before any repair or replacement is carried out. Where liability is accepted, our preferred remedy may be repair, replacement, or compensation reflecting the fair market value of the item, subject to the relevant limitations and any applicable insurance arrangements. Any claim must be proportionate and supported by reasonable evidence.
Waste Regulations and Disposal Rules
Where our service includes clearance, disposal, recycling, or removal of unwanted items, you confirm that you have the legal right to dispose of the goods and that they are not subject to any third-party ownership, hire agreements, lease restrictions, or retention of title claims. We will not knowingly transport or dispose of prohibited, hazardous, illegal, or unsafe materials. This includes, without limitation, asbestos, clinical waste, chemicals, oils, explosives, gas cylinders, contaminated materials, and any item requiring specialist licensing unless we have expressly agreed and are legally permitted to handle it.
We operate in accordance with UK waste regulations and expect all customers to comply with applicable duties of care. You must accurately identify any items requiring special handling or separate disposal. If waste is transferred to us as part of a clearance service, you agree that the description of the waste is accurate and that the contents do not contain concealed prohibited substances. Where required, we may ask you to confirm ownership, origin, or nature of the waste before collecting it. We may refuse to remove any item that poses a safety, legal, or environmental risk.
Any recyclable, reusable, or reusable-looking items may be sorted and handled in a lawful manner consistent with responsible waste management. We may use licensed carriers, approved facilities, and appropriate records where required by law. If items are left behind because they are not accepted, unsafe, or not properly declared, you are responsible for arranging their lawful disposal. You acknowledge that improper waste presentation or false description may result in additional costs, service refusal, or referral to the appropriate authorities where legally required.
Customer Responsibilities
You must ensure that items are accurately described, properly prepared, and fit for transport. Unless otherwise agreed, it is your responsibility to disconnect appliances, remove loose fittings, defrost fridges and freezers, and secure any valuables, cash, jewellery, passports, documents, and personal data before the service begins. We do not accept responsibility for ordinary wear and tear, pre-existing damage, or hidden faults that become apparent during the move. It is also your responsibility to tell us about any oversized, heavy, or awkward items before the day of the service.
You should also make sure that children, pets, and unauthorised persons are kept clear of working areas for safety reasons. If the premises contain hazardous conditions, such as exposed wiring, loose flooring, severe clutter, pests, or unsafe structural issues, you must inform us in advance. We may suspend or refuse work if we reasonably believe that continuing would be unsafe. In such cases, charges may still apply for time spent on site and any costs already incurred.
Where the service involves access to keys, codes, alarm systems, or secure areas, you remain responsible for ensuring that instructions are correct and that access is lawful. If our team is given incorrect or incomplete access information, any resulting delay or loss may be chargeable. You also confirm that you have authority to instruct us to enter, move, remove, or dispose of the items concerned. For a removal company Queens Park arrangement, this authority is especially important where a landlord, building manager, or other third party may have separate rights over the premises or contents.
Force Majeure and Operational Delays
We are not liable for failure or delay in performing our obligations where such failure or delay is caused by events outside our reasonable control. These may include severe weather, road closures, strikes, civil unrest, fire, flood, power failure, accidents, public authority restrictions, epidemic-related disruption, or similar events. Where reasonably possible, we will work with you to rearrange the service or agree a revised timetable. Any additional costs caused by circumstances outside our control may be chargeable if they arise during the performance of the service and are reasonable in amount.
We aim to complete all work within the agreed time frame, but timings are estimates unless expressly guaranteed in writing. Traffic, loading conditions, and unforeseen service issues can affect scheduling. Where delays occur, we will make reasonable efforts to minimise disruption, but we do not guarantee arrival or completion times unless a specific timed service has been purchased and confirmed in writing. If a delay is caused by your failure to prepare or by inaccurate information, the time lost may be billed as part of the service.
Complaints, Disputes, and Governing Law
If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of the service, you should notify us as soon as possible so that we may investigate and, where appropriate, attempt to resolve the matter promptly. Any complaint should be made within a reasonable time and accompanied by relevant evidence where available. We encourage parties to act in good faith and seek an amicable solution before taking formal action. Nothing in this clause affects your statutory rights.
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from or in connection with these terms, the quotation, or the provision of services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless mandatory consumer law provides otherwise. If any part of these terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that part will be treated as deleted to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
These terms constitute the full agreement between the parties regarding the services described, unless varied in writing and agreed by both sides. No failure or delay in enforcing any term shall operate as a waiver of that term or any other term. By proceeding with a booking for Queens Park removal services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these conditions. Our aim is to provide a clear contractual framework that supports reliable service, lawful disposal practices, and fair dealing for both parties.
