Man With Van Bayswater Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions govern the supply of man with van Bayswater services and apply to all bookings made for local, regional, and long-distance transport, collection, delivery, and related handling work. By confirming a booking, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms and to provide accurate information about the job, access conditions, items, timing, and any special requirements. These terms are intended to set out the rights and responsibilities of both parties clearly and fairly.
For the avoidance of doubt, references to the Company, we, or our mean the service provider, and references to the Customer, you, or your mean the person or business requesting the service. Where a booking is made on behalf of another person, the person placing the booking confirms they have authority to do so and accept responsibility for the accuracy of the information supplied. The service may include loading, unloading, transport, furniture handling, or other agreed support, but only to the extent explicitly included in the booking.
These terms are drafted for a UK service context and should be read alongside any written quotation, invoice, or booking confirmation issued by us. In the event of inconsistency, the order of precedence is: written booking confirmation, written quotation, and then these Terms and Conditions. No variation will be binding unless agreed by us in writing. Any extra work requested on the day may be charged additionally if it falls outside the original scope.
1. Booking Process
Bookings for Man With Van Bayswater services are subject to availability and are not confirmed until accepted by us. The Customer must provide complete and accurate details, including the collection and delivery addresses, item descriptions, floor levels, access restrictions, parking limitations, dates, times, and any items requiring special handling. We may rely on the information provided when quoting and scheduling the job. If the details later prove to be incomplete or incorrect, we reserve the right to revise the quotation, amend the schedule, or decline the work.A booking may be requested through any approved communication channel and is usually confirmed once we have issued written acceptance, a deposit request, or final booking confirmation. A quotation is an estimate unless expressly stated to be fixed. We may ask for photographs, inventories, or additional information before confirming the price or allocating a vehicle and crew. If the service requires permits, access permissions, or building approvals, it is the Customer’s responsibility to arrange these in advance unless otherwise agreed in writing.
The Customer must ensure that all goods are ready for collection at the agreed time, sufficiently packed for transit, and clearly identified where necessary. Delays caused by the Customer, third parties, or restricted access may result in waiting charges or a re-scheduling fee. If the Customer asks us to move items that are unusually heavy, fragile, awkward, hazardous, or high value, this must be disclosed in advance. We may refuse to move any item that is unsafe, illegal, prohibited, or unsuitable for transport in our vehicle.
2. Payments and Charges
Payment terms will be set out in the quotation or booking confirmation. Unless stated otherwise, payment is due in full on or before completion of the service, and we may require a deposit in advance to secure the booking. We accept payment by approved methods only and may withhold or delay service if payment has not been made according to the agreed terms. If a business customer is given credit terms, these must be agreed in writing in advance.Charges may include labour time, vehicle use, congestion or parking-related costs where applicable, tolls, waiting time, stair carry charges, dismantling and reassembly work, additional stops, and any extra services requested by the Customer. Man with van Bayswater pricing may also reflect the size, weight, and number of items, distance travelled, and the level of assistance required. Where a booking is based on hourly rates, time begins when our team arrives at the agreed location and continues until the job is completed or the vehicle is released.
Any estimate of time or cost is made in good faith but is not a guarantee unless stated as fixed. If the scope of work changes materially, for example because additional items are added, access is more difficult than described, or multiple trips are required, we may adjust the charge accordingly. Overdue sums may be subject to reasonable late payment charges and any recovery costs permitted by law. Title to goods is not transferred by the supply of transport services and all charges remain payable even if a dispute later arises about the condition of goods, provided the service was performed in accordance with these terms.
3. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Delays
The Customer may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving reasonable notice. Cancellation terms may vary depending on the type of service, the notice period provided, and whether the vehicle, crew, or subcontractors have already been allocated. Where a deposit has been taken, it may be non-refundable if the cancellation is made late or if costs have already been incurred. If the Customer cancels after the team has been dispatched or arrived at the site, a minimum call-out charge may apply.We may cancel or reschedule a booking if circumstances beyond our control make it impossible, unsafe, or impracticable to perform the service. Such circumstances may include severe traffic disruption, vehicle breakdown, adverse weather, staff illness, fire, accident, industrial action, or legal restrictions affecting access or transport. In these cases, we will try to rearrange the booking at a suitable time, but we are not liable for indirect losses caused by the cancellation or delay.
Where a delay occurs due to factors outside our reasonable control, including waiting for keys, lifts, permits, parking, signatures, or completion of other works, we may charge for the time lost or for any additional attendance required. If the Customer is not present at the agreed time and no suitable arrangements have been made, we may leave the site, complete other jobs, or treat the booking as cancelled, depending on the circumstances. Any refund or credit will be limited to amounts already paid for services not performed, subject to legitimate deductions for time, costs, and administration.
4. Liability and Customer Responsibilities
The Customer must ensure that the goods are suitable for transport and that any fragile, valuable, or irreplaceable items are properly packed, protected, and labelled. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, we do not accept responsibility for the internal condition of items we did not pack. The Customer should remove loose contents from drawers, secure glass or mirrors, disconnect appliances where safe to do so, and disclose any known defects or weaknesses in the items to be moved.We will take reasonable care when handling goods, but our liability is limited to loss or damage caused directly by our negligence while carrying out the agreed service. We are not responsible for pre-existing damage, wear and tear, hidden defects, unsuitable packing, or damage caused by the Customer’s instructions. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for indirect, consequential, or economic loss such as loss of profit, loss of business, or loss of opportunity. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
The Customer is responsible for ensuring that any item handed to us is lawful to transport and does not contain prohibited contents. We may refuse to handle cash, jewellery, firearms, controlled substances, unstable chemicals, live animals, or any dangerous goods unless express prior arrangements have been made and are lawful. If the Customer requests that goods be left unattended, delivered to a third party, or placed in a particular location, this is done at the Customer’s risk unless we have expressly agreed otherwise. Claims for loss or damage must be raised promptly and supported by reasonable evidence, including photographs where appropriate.
5. Waste Regulations and Disposal
If the service includes the removal, disposal, or transport of waste, the Customer must be truthful about the nature of the material. We only handle waste in accordance with applicable UK waste regulations and environmental obligations. The Customer must not present hazardous waste, clinical waste, asbestos, chemicals, paint, oils, batteries, gas cylinders, electrical waste requiring specialist treatment, or any other controlled material unless we have expressly agreed in advance and the law permits it. Misdescription of waste may result in refusal of service, additional charges, or reporting to the appropriate authorities where required.Where waste collection or disposal is arranged, the Customer remains responsible for the correct description and segregation of the waste stream. The Customer must not include prohibited items among general waste or mixed loads. Any waste transferred by us will be handled by authorised methods only, and we may require documentation, photographs, or an inventory before accepting the material. If we discover that a load contains unauthorised or hazardous items after collection, we may return the items, arrange specialist handling at the Customer’s cost, or take any lawful action necessary to ensure compliance.
If the Customer is a business, they must provide any information needed for duty-of-care records and confirm that they have the right to transfer the waste. If the Customer is a private individual, they must ensure the items are theirs to dispose of and that they are not disposing of waste in a way that breaches environmental law. Charges for waste services may include disposal fees, permits, loading time, segregation, and lawful handling costs. We reserve the right to refuse any load that appears to contravene waste regulations or our own compliance requirements.
6. Service Standards, Access, and Conduct
We will provide the service with reasonable skill and care, using appropriate vehicles and trained staff for the booking accepted. The Customer must provide safe access to the property and inform us of any risks such as narrow staircases, limited parking, lift restrictions, low ceilings, or surfaces that may be easily damaged. If access conditions differ from those described, we may revise the service plan or charge additional time for the extra work involved. We are not responsible for delays or damage arising from access problems not disclosed in advance.The Customer must ensure that any person present at the collection or delivery point behaves safely and reasonably and does not interfere with the work. We may suspend or stop the service if we reasonably believe that continuing would be unsafe, unlawful, abusive, or likely to cause damage. In such circumstances, full payment remains due for work already carried out and any reasonable expenses incurred. Our staff may refuse to enter premises or handle items if they consider the conditions unsafe or unsuitable.
We may use subcontractors or additional personnel to complete the service, provided they act under comparable standards. Any advice given by our staff about lifting, access, packing, or timing is offered in good faith but remains the Customer’s responsibility to act upon or disregard. The Customer should ensure that pets, children, and bystanders are kept clear of the working area. We will not be responsible for damage caused by defects in the property, unsecured fixtures, or items that were already unstable before our arrival.
7. Complaints, Claims, and Evidence
If the Customer believes there has been a problem with the service, they should notify us as soon as reasonably possible and provide a clear description of the issue. Where a claim concerns damage or missing items, the Customer should preserve the packaging and provide evidence of the condition of the goods before and after the move. We may request reasonable inspection of the goods or site in order to investigate the matter properly. Any failure to report a problem promptly may affect the ability to assess the claim fairly.We may offer repair, replacement, partial refund, or other remedy where appropriate and where liability has been established. Any remedy will be assessed on a case-by-case basis and will be limited to the direct loss caused by our proven fault, subject to these terms. The Customer must not arrange unauthorised repairs or replacements and then expect reimbursement unless we have agreed this in advance. No claim will succeed where the loss was caused by poor packing, inaccurate instructions, pre-existing damage, or matters outside our control.
Nothing in these terms affects the Customer’s statutory rights as a consumer under UK law. However, where the Customer is acting in the course of a business, trade, or profession, different rules may apply and our liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. No delay or failure by us to enforce any right will operate as a waiver of that right.

The parties agree that the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer legislation provides otherwise.
