Terms and conditions

QUOTES:

All quote requests for removals, transportation or recycling and waste should be initiated via our online forms.

Upon receiving a self-survey form we will endeavour to respond within 48 hours.

Quotes are valid for 5 calendar days. If you are happy to proceed then we ask you to confirm by replying to the quote email. This reply then acts as an agreement between us.

For any job we require a deposit to be paid no later than 5 calendar days prior to the job date. For some larger jobs we may require the total sum in advance. We prefer payments by bank transfer but can accept cash. Payment details are at the bottom of the form. We will give you a full receipt after the job is completed. All balances are to be paid upon job completion.

Please be aware that under the Customer Contract Regulations Act (2013) you have 14 calendar days to cancel and this ‘cooling-off’ period would start immediately.

CANCELLATIONS AND DELAYS:

We understand that from time-to-time some removal days get delayed. Sometimes we may need to postpone a move. In such cases of a postponement we will agree a new date for the move. This will, of course, be subject to our availability. 

We operate all year round but in the winter time (and sometimes the summer) there are times when adverse weather conditions can impact the move. On these occasions we may opt to postpone all or part of the job. 

We will conduct risk assessments on arrival and re-evaluate throughout the day. If for any reason the removal or transportation is delayed by unforseen circumstances the job may need to be extended to another day. We understand this may not always be possible. If we are travelling long distance, either nationally or internationally, we usually schedule the travelling so that the loading/unloading takes place in the daylight. We often opt to travel at off-peak times (or at night) for this reason.

If there is a long delay on a handover we may have to add a surcharge on the day.  

 

INSURANCE AND DAMAGE:

We take every precaution to protect your items and their surroundings when moving them in and out of a property. We often use mats and rugs to protect edges. We pride ourselves on taking the utmost care but it should be noted that damage can occur in this line of work. For your peace of mind we are fully insured with goods-in-transit and public liability cover. 

If you are self-packing we recommend you pack their items well ahead of the job, in strong double-walled cardboard or plastic boxes. Don’t overfill the boxes.. remember there is a legal limit of 20kg in any bag or box.  A good general rule is to pack heavy items in small boxes and large bulky items in big ones.. books in small and pillows in big! Naturally we cannot be responsible for damage occurred with self-packed boxes so please take extra care with your items. It is also important to note that we are unable to provide insurance for all self-packing jobs.

ON THE DAY:

The vast majority of house moves go very smoothly and you are all moved in ahead of schedule. The nature of house moving does mean that sometimes it doesn’t.  We pride ourselves on going the extra mile, getting the job done and exceeding our customer’s expectations on these stressful occasions. 

When liaising with you on the day we do insist that one person makes decisions and answers queries should they arise.  We understand this may seem unusual but in order to operate efficiently, quickly and safely we need a clear line of communication with yourselves.  Upon arrival we will require this person to sign our quote form before we enter the premisis. We note that this person may not be the person who either booked us in initially or is paying the bill.  We appreciate your understanding on this matter.  

If there is a significant increase in the inventory upon arrival we may increase the price.  This will be noted on the quote form and agreed with yourselves before proceeding. All payments must be made before we leave the collection property.
