Man With Van Woodford Green Service Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions govern the use of our man with van service, including residential, commercial and general transport jobs arranged in the UK. By making a booking, you agree to these terms in full. Please read them carefully before confirming any order, as they set out the responsibilities of both the customer and the service provider. They apply to all standard moves, collection-only work, delivery runs, and related labour supplied as part of a booking.

In these Terms, references to “we”, “us” and “our” mean the provider of the Man With Van Woodford Green service. References to “you” and “your” mean the customer, person making the booking, or any authorised representative acting on behalf of the customer. These terms are intended to be fair and practical, while also protecting both parties from avoidable misunderstandings.

By using our van and man service, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old, legally able to enter into a contract, and authorised to arrange the transport of the goods listed in your booking. You also confirm that all information supplied is accurate to the best of your knowledge, including access conditions, item descriptions, parking arrangements, and any special handling requirements.

1. Booking Process

A booking is only confirmed when we have accepted your request and provided confirmation by email, message, or another written method. Any estimate or quotation issued before confirmation is not a binding acceptance of the job. The booking may include details such as the date, estimated duration, number of movers, vehicle type, route, inventory, and any agreed extras. We may decline or adjust a booking if the details provided are incomplete, unsafe, unlawful, or likely to exceed reasonable capacity.

You must check all confirmation details carefully. If anything is incorrect, you should notify us as soon as possible. Changes to the time, scope, collection point, or delivery point may affect price, availability, and completion time. For a man with a van hire service, accuracy matters because loading time, vehicle space, and labour requirements are calculated from the information you provide. If access is restricted or differs from the description given at booking, we may revise the service charge or re-schedule the job.

We aim to arrive within the agreed time window, but arrival times are estimates and may be affected by traffic, weather, road closures, delays at previous jobs, or other events outside our control. You agree to make sure that the collection and delivery locations are accessible and ready for work at the arranged time. If we are unable to complete the job because access is unsuitable or the booking details were materially inaccurate, you may still be charged for wasted time, travel, or attendance.

2. Customer Responsibilities

You are responsible for ensuring that all items are properly packed, labelled, and suitable for transport unless packing has been expressly included in the service. Fragile or valuable items should be protected in advance. We do not routinely open boxes or inspect contents unless required for safety, legal compliance, or by prior agreement. You must remove personal data, secure loose contents, and ensure that drawers, doors, lids, and moving parts are fixed shut where appropriate.

You must also ensure that no prohibited, dangerous, illegal, or hazardous items are placed in the load without prior written consent and lawful handling arrangements. This includes, but is not limited to, explosives, firearms, live ammunition, controlled drugs, asbestos, chemicals, radioactive materials, pressurised containers, or items that are unsafe to move without special measures. The van man service may refuse any item we reasonably believe is unsafe, unlawful, or likely to damage other goods or the vehicle.

Where the service includes lifting, dismantling, reassembly, or carrying items through tight access points, you must tell us in advance about stairs, lifts, narrow corridors, long carries, parking restrictions, or any other conditions that may affect the work. If no such information is provided and the job becomes more difficult than expected, we may charge an additional fee or limit the service to what can be safely completed.

3. Payments and Charges

Unless agreed otherwise in writing, payment is due on completion of the service or at the time specified on the invoice. We may require a deposit, card pre-authorisation, or advance payment for certain bookings, particularly where the job is large, time-sensitive, or involves external costs. All prices are based on the details provided at the time of quotation and may change if the actual service differs materially from the original description.

Charges may include labour, vehicle use, fuel, waiting time, congestion or parking costs where applicable, long carry fees, assembly/disassembly, disposal charges, and any other pre-agreed extras. If the job takes longer because of delays caused by you, your representative, the building management, or the condition of the property, additional time may be billed at the applicable hourly rate. Any quoted fixed price is based on the information supplied and may be revised if the scope changes.

Late payments may incur administrative charges and interest where permitted by law. If you fail to pay, we may suspend further work, retain goods only where lawful, and seek recovery of outstanding sums through appropriate means. You are responsible for bank charges, payment provider fees, or currency conversion costs imposed by your chosen payment method. Man with van services UK are often time-sensitive, and prompt payment is an essential part of the agreement.

4. Cancellations, Amendments and Delays

You may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving reasonable notice. The amount of notice required may vary depending on the size and nature of the job, the amount of planning already undertaken, and whether we have reserved vehicles, staff, or third-party services for your booking. If you cancel at short notice, you may be charged a cancellation fee to cover lost time, administration, and any non-recoverable costs.

If you need to amend your booking, we will try to accommodate the change, but we cannot guarantee availability. Any amendment may affect the price, schedule, or resources required. We may cancel or suspend a booking if we are unable to perform the service safely, lawfully, or due to events beyond our control, including vehicle breakdown, severe weather, traffic disruption, illness, or accidental damage to equipment. In such cases, we will make reasonable efforts to rearrange the service.

If you are not present at the agreed time and location, or if we are prevented from starting the job because access is unavailable, keys are missing, or instructions are incomplete, we may treat the booking as a late cancellation or failed attendance. Waiting time may be charged if we remain on site beyond a reasonable period. We are not liable for any loss arising from delay caused by factors outside our control, provided we have acted reasonably.

5. Liability and Limitations

We will carry out the service with reasonable care and skill. However, our liability is limited to direct loss or damage caused by our proven negligence, and only to the extent permitted by law. We are not responsible for pre-existing damage, defects, inadequate packing, hidden weaknesses, or deterioration caused by the nature of the item itself. Customers should inspect goods before and after the move where possible.

We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including loss of profit, loss of business, missed appointments, emotional distress, or reputational harm, except where such exclusion is unlawful. Where we are responsible for loss or damage, our liability may be limited to the repair cost, replacement value, or the amount recoverable under any applicable insurance, whichever is lower, subject to any mandatory legal rights you may have. This limitation applies to the extent allowed under UK law.

You must notify us of any apparent damage or missing items as soon as reasonably possible and provide supporting evidence, such as photographs, item descriptions, or proof of value. Failure to report promptly may make it harder to investigate the issue. We are not responsible for items transported at your request when you have been advised that they are not suitable for transit, or where you choose not to use recommended protective packing materials.

6. Waste, Disposals and Environmental Compliance

If the booking includes waste removal, clearance, or disposal, you agree that all waste will be presented honestly and classified correctly. We operate in accordance with applicable UK waste laws, including rules relating to the storage, carriage, transfer, and disposal of waste. Where required, waste transfer documentation may be completed and you may be asked to sign or approve records confirming the nature and destination of the waste.

You must not include hazardous waste, clinical waste, electrical waste, fridges, freezers, tyres, solvents, paint, gas bottles, asbestos, batteries, or any other controlled material unless this has been expressly agreed in writing and lawful disposal arrangements are in place. Incorrectly described waste may be refused, reclassified, or charged at a higher rate. You remain responsible for ensuring that the waste is lawful to remove and that you have the right to authorise its disposal.

Where a man with a van near Woodford Green service is used for clearance or disposal work, all items must be separated as accurately as possible and provided with clear instructions.

If unlawful waste is discovered after collection, you may be liable for all resulting costs, including return transport, disposal, cleaning, storage, and regulatory consequences.

7. Insurance, Access and Safety

We may hold insurance appropriate for the type of work carried out, but insurance does not cover every possible loss. Certain items may be excluded unless declared in advance, such as antiques, fine art, jewellery, cash, documents, or high-value electronics. If you require cover for specialist items, you should request this before the booking is confirmed and ensure any declared value is accurate.

All premises must be safe for loading and unloading. You are responsible for securing pets, children, and any obstacles that may create a hazard during the service. We may stop work if conditions become unsafe, including poor lighting, unstable flooring, aggressive behaviour, or blocked exits. If necessary, we may refuse to move items that pose an unacceptable risk to people or property. Safety decisions made by our staff are final for the duration of the job.

We may also refuse to lift or carry items that are too heavy, poorly packed, or likely to cause injury without specialist equipment. The Man With Van Woodford Green team may ask you to reduce the load, change the route, or provide extra assistance where lawful and safe. You agree to cooperate with reasonable instructions designed to protect property, vehicles, and all persons involved in the service.
