Man With A Van Brentford Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Man With A Van Brentford provides household, commercial, and general transport services to customers in the United Kingdom. By making a booking, requesting a quotation, or accepting our services, you agree to be bound by these terms. Please read them carefully before confirming any work. They explain the booking process, payments, cancellations, liability, waste rules, and the law that applies to our agreement.

For the purpose of these terms, references to “we,” “us,” “our” and “the company” mean the service provider operating the man with a van in Brentford service. References to “you,” “your” and “customer” mean the person, business, or organisation booking the service, the person paying for it, or any person authorised to act on their behalf. If you are booking on behalf of someone else, you confirm that you have authority to do so.

These terms apply to all bookings unless we agree otherwise in writing. Any variation to these terms must be confirmed by us in writing to be valid. If any part of these terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining parts will continue in effect. Headings are included for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.

Booking Process

All bookings are subject to availability and are only confirmed once we have accepted your request. A quotation may be provided before booking, but a quote is not a guarantee of availability until it has been accepted and we have confirmed the job. To secure a booking, you must provide accurate details, including the collection and delivery addresses, access conditions, parking restrictions, inventory, preferred times, and any special handling requirements. The more accurate the information you provide, the more reliable our service can be.

We reserve the right to decline or amend a booking if the information supplied is incomplete, misleading, or materially different from the job carried out on the day. If the service requested changes after confirmation, we may revise the price, the timing, or both. This may apply where additional items are added, the volume is greater than described, access is more difficult than stated, or the journey distance changes. Man and van Brentford services are often time-sensitive, so changes should be notified as early as possible.

Customers must ensure that someone authorised is present at the collection and delivery points, unless we agree to leave goods in a safe location. If no one is available, or if access is delayed, additional waiting time, redelivery, or storage costs may be charged. We may also refuse to move items that appear unsafe, illegal, badly packed, or likely to cause damage to property, vehicles, or other goods.

Payment Terms

Payment is due in accordance with the method and timing agreed at booking. Unless otherwise stated, all prices are quoted in pounds sterling and may be subject to VAT where applicable. We may require a deposit, part payment in advance, or full payment before the service begins. The balance, if any, must be paid immediately upon completion of the job or within the agreed payment period. We accept no obligation to release goods until outstanding sums have been paid in full.

Any quote is based on the details available at the time it is issued. If the job takes longer than expected, involves extra labour, requires additional vehicles, or includes services beyond the original scope, an additional charge may apply. Examples include stairs, heavy items, unusual loading conditions, congestion, waiting time, parking penalties caused by the customer’s instructions, and returns for forgotten items. Man with a van Brentford services are priced according to the time, labour, and resources required, and therefore accurate information is essential.

Late or Failed Payments

If payment is not made when due, we may suspend further work, withhold delivery, charge reasonable recovery costs, and/or begin debt collection action. You will be responsible for any fees reasonably incurred in pursuing overdue sums, including administrative costs and legal costs where permitted by law. We may also charge interest on late payments at the statutory rate or at the rate agreed in writing, whichever applies.

We may refuse cashless or card payments if verification is not completed, and we are entitled to verify the identity of the payer where necessary. Any discounts, promotional rates, or special pricing are granted at our discretion and may be withdrawn if the booking details change materially. A payment receipt may be issued on request, but it does not alter the obligations set out in these terms.

Cancellations and Amendments

You may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving reasonable notice. Cancellations made within the notice period agreed at the time of booking may not attract a fee, but cancellations made after that period may be charged in part or in full, depending on the amount of work already committed. This may include scheduling time, reserved vehicle time, allocated staff, and costs already incurred in preparation for your booking.

If you cancel after we have arrived at the collection point, or if the job cannot proceed because the customer is absent, the property is inaccessible, or the goods are not ready, a call-out charge or minimum booking charge may apply. Where materials, permits, or third-party costs have already been arranged, these may also be charged. We may cancel or postpone a booking if there are safety concerns, severe weather, vehicle breakdown, traffic disruption, or any event beyond our reasonable control.

If we need to reschedule, we will use reasonable efforts to find an alternative time. However, we are not liable for losses arising from changes outside our control, provided we act reasonably. Man with a van in Brentford bookings are subject to the practical realities of transport work, including road conditions, access limitations, and time restrictions. We recommend allowing flexibility where possible.

Liability and Insurance

We will take reasonable care when handling items and carrying out the service. However, except where prohibited by law, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from inaccurate information provided by the customer, insufficient packaging, hidden defects in goods, pre-existing damage, or instructions given by the customer that cause risk. The customer remains responsible for ensuring that items are properly packed, protected, and fit for transit.

Our liability for loss or damage, where established, is limited to the reasonable repair or replacement value of the affected item or to the maximum amount recoverable under any insurance we hold for the relevant claim, whichever is lower, subject to law. We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded.

We are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses, including loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, or emotional distress arising from a delay, cancellation, or service issue. If you believe damage has occurred, you must notify us as soon as reasonably possible and provide evidence such as photographs, purchase receipts, and a description of the circumstances. Failure to report promptly may affect our ability to investigate the matter.

Customer Responsibilities

You must ensure that all goods are lawful to transport, properly declared, and ready for loading at the agreed time. You are responsible for obtaining any permissions, parking allowances, building access arrangements, or other approvals needed for the service. You must also remove cash, jewellery, personal data documents, and other valuables from items being moved unless we have specifically agreed in writing to handle them.

You agree to provide a safe working environment. This includes keeping walkways clear, disclosing hazards, securing pets, and warning us about fragile, overweight, or difficult-to-handle items. We may refuse to move any item if we believe it presents a health and safety risk, exceeds safe lifting limits, or may cause damage to property or vehicles. Our staff are entitled to stop work where they consider conditions unsafe.

Where keys, codes, or access devices are provided to us, you confirm that you are authorised to share them and that their use is lawful. Any loss or damage resulting from inaccurate access information, unavailable keys, or failed entry arrangements will be your responsibility unless caused by our negligence. Brentford man and van services depend on cooperation from the customer to proceed efficiently and safely.

Waste, Recycling, and Prohibited Materials

Any disposal or removal of waste is only included if expressly agreed in advance. We operate in line with UK waste regulations and will only transport, transfer, or dispose of waste where it is lawful and properly arranged. You must not place prohibited, hazardous, or controlled waste into our vehicle unless we have confirmed in writing that we are licensed and able to handle it. This includes, without limitation, asbestos, chemicals, paint, solvents, gas cylinders, clinical waste, batteries, tyres, electrical waste, and any item requiring special treatment or authorisation.

When a clearance or disposal service is provided, you confirm that you have the right to dispose of the items and that they are not contaminated or unlawful. We may require an inventory or description of waste before collection. If waste is misdescribed, mixed with prohibited materials, or includes items requiring extra licensing or specialised disposal, we may refuse collection or charge additional costs. The customer will remain liable for any penalties, fines, or losses caused by incorrect declaration.

Where applicable, waste transfer notes, receipts, or other records may be completed in accordance with legal requirements. You agree to cooperate with any reasonable request needed to comply with environmental law. We reserve the right to stop work immediately if we believe waste handling would breach regulations, place us at risk, or exceed the scope of the agreed service.

Delays, Force Majeure, and Service Limitations

We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including accidents, severe weather, road closures, traffic incidents, strikes, government restrictions, illness, equipment failure, or power outages. In such cases we may rearrange the booking, reduce the scope of work, or cancel the service without liability for indirect losses. Any payment already made for work not performed will be refunded to the extent required by law.

Our services are limited to the agreed scope described in the booking confirmation. We do not provide specialist removals unless expressly agreed, and we may decline to dismantle items, disconnect utilities, or perform tasks requiring a qualified tradesperson. If you require a particular handling method, it must be agreed beforehand. Otherwise, we will use our professional judgment and reasonable care. Man with a van Brentford services are practical transport services and are not a substitute for specialist contractors.

We may update these terms from time to time. Any change will apply to future bookings from the date it is published or from any later date stated by us. Your continued use of our services after an update means you accept the revised terms for future services. The version in force at the time of booking will normally apply to that booking unless otherwise agreed.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising from or in connection with them, are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom, any mandatory local consumer protections that apply to you will still be respected to the extent required by law.

Any dispute that cannot be resolved amicably will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless applicable law provides otherwise. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights. If any provision is found to be unenforceable, the remainder of the agreement will continue to apply in full force and effect.

By proceeding with a booking, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms. These provisions are intended to create a fair and transparent basis for the use of our man and van Brentford service and to protect both parties throughout the transport process.
