Terms and Conditions for Man With A Van Tottenham

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Man With A Van Tottenham provides removal, transport, loading, unloading, and related service options for domestic and commercial customers. By making a booking, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms, which are designed to create a fair and transparent framework for both sides. Throughout this document, references to the company, we, us, or our refer to the service provider, while you or the customer refers to the person requesting the service.

These terms apply to all standard bookings and any supplementary arrangements agreed in writing or verbally before the job begins. They cover the booking process, payment terms, cancellations, liability, waste handling, and the legal framework that governs the agreement. If any specific written quotation or invoice conflicts with these Terms and Conditions, the written quotation or invoice will take precedence only for the items expressly stated, unless otherwise required by law.

The customer is responsible for ensuring that all booking information is accurate and complete. This includes the collection address, delivery address, access restrictions, items to be moved, parking considerations, time requirements, and any special handling needs. If incorrect or incomplete information is given, the quoted price, service timing, or completion expectations may need to be revised. We reserve the right to adjust the service, charge additional fees, or decline work where the information supplied materially changes the nature of the job.

Booking Process

Bookings may be made by telephone, email, online form, or any other communication method accepted by the company. A booking is only confirmed once we have acknowledged the request and, where applicable, received any deposit or advance payment required for the service. A quotation is usually based on the details supplied by the customer and may be given as an estimate or fixed price depending on the information available at the time.

Customers should provide clear details about the volume and type of items, floor level, whether stairs or lifts are involved, and whether any items require dismantling or special care. For Man With A Van Tottenham services, we may ask for photographs, inventory lists, or additional notes to assess the job properly. If the actual work differs significantly from the description given at booking, we may revise the price, change the crew size, alter the vehicle used, or reschedule the service if necessary.

We aim to arrive within the agreed time window, but all timing is approximate unless explicitly guaranteed in writing. Delays may occur due to traffic, road closures, weather conditions, access problems, or earlier jobs taking longer than expected. In such circumstances, we will use reasonable efforts to inform the customer and complete the job as soon as reasonably practicable. The customer should ensure that the premises are accessible at the agreed time and that the items are ready for collection unless loading assistance has been booked.

If the customer asks us to carry out additional work on the day, such as extra item collection, additional stops, or disposal of surplus goods, we may agree to do so subject to availability and any extra charge. A man and van Tottenham booking should be treated as a service based on the job details confirmed at the time of reservation; any later change may affect the final price and the time required. We are not obliged to begin work until the customer has agreed to any revised terms relating to added services or changed conditions.

Customers must ensure that all items handed over for transport are properly packed, labelled where necessary, and suitable for transit. Fragile, high-value, or sentimental items should be declared in advance so that appropriate handling arrangements can be discussed. Unless expressly agreed, we do not provide professional packing materials, dismantling beyond normal handling assistance, or specialist protection for delicate goods. The company may refuse to move items that are unsafe, excessively heavy, contaminated, prohibited by law, or likely to damage people, property, or the vehicle.

Payments

Unless agreed otherwise in writing, payment is due on completion of the service on the same day. For larger jobs, bookings at busy periods, or where special resources are reserved, we may require a deposit or full prepayment to secure the appointment. Accepted payment methods may include bank transfer, debit card, credit card, or other methods confirmed at booking. Any bank charges, currency conversion fees, or failed-payment costs incurred by the company as a result of the customer’s chosen payment method may be charged back to the customer where lawful.

All prices are quoted in pounds sterling and, unless stated otherwise, include the service described but exclude unforeseen extras such as parking fines caused by unavailable customer-arranged parking, congestion-related charges, waiting time beyond what was agreed, or additional labour arising from circumstances not disclosed at the time of booking. Where an estimate has been supplied rather than a fixed quote, the final amount may vary based on actual time, resources, distance, or service scope. We will explain any such variation as soon as it becomes apparent.

Failure to pay on time may result in the suspension of further services and the addition of reasonable recovery costs, interest, or administrative charges to the extent permitted by law. The customer may not withhold payment because of a dispute over minor issues if the main service has been completed, although nothing in these terms affects statutory rights. If a payment is made in advance and the service is cancelled in accordance with the cancellation section below, any refund due will be processed after reasonable deductions, if applicable, for work already carried out or costs incurred.

Cancellations and Rescheduling

The customer may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving us reasonable notice. Cancellations made before work has started may be eligible for a full or partial refund depending on the notice given and any preparatory costs already incurred. If a deposit has been taken, it may be retained in full or in part where the cancellation is late, where the vehicle and crew have already been assigned, or where the company has lost the opportunity to take another booking.

If the customer is unavailable at the agreed time, provides the wrong address, cannot grant access, or fails to have the items ready, this may be treated as a late cancellation or wasted journey. In such cases, the customer may be charged the call-out fee, waiting time, or a reasonable portion of the agreed price. We may also cancel or postpone the service if it becomes unsafe, unlawful, or impracticable to continue because of factors outside our control.

We reserve the right to reschedule or cancel a booking where the vehicle becomes unavailable, staffing changes occur, weather or road conditions make the journey unsafe, or the customer fails to disclose important information that would have affected acceptance of the job. In the event of a cancellation by us, any advance payment received for the cancelled service will normally be refunded, unless part of the booking has already been completed or the cancellation arises from the customer’s breach of these terms.

Liability

We will exercise reasonable care and skill in carrying out the service, but our liability is limited to losses directly caused by our negligence or breach of contract. We are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of opportunity, or any delay-related costs not caused by our own fault. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under UK law.

The customer must remove or declare any hazardous, illegal, perishable, or specially regulated items before the job begins. We are not liable for damage resulting from pre-existing defects, poor packaging, overloaded boxes, unsuitable dismantling, hidden weaknesses in furniture, or items that are not reasonably fit for transport. The customer should also ensure that floors, doorways, staircases, lifts, and external access routes are suitable for the movement of items and protected where necessary. Where the customer asks us to proceed despite a known risk, that instruction will be at the customer’s own risk to the extent allowed by law.

If any item is especially valuable, rare, or irreplaceable, the customer should tell us before the booking is confirmed so that we can decide whether to accept the item and, if appropriate, discuss extra precautions or insurance arrangements. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the customer remains responsible for insuring goods against loss or damage during transit. Any claim for damage must be reported promptly and supported by reasonable evidence. We may inspect the item and circumstances before deciding whether any remedy is due.

Waste Regulations and Disposal

Where our service includes waste removal, clearance, or disposal, the customer confirms that all items presented for collection are owned by the customer or that the customer has authority to arrange their disposal. We will only remove waste in accordance with applicable UK environmental and waste management laws. The customer must not ask us to transport or dispose of items that are unlawful to handle, require specialist licensing, or contain hazardous substances unless we have expressly agreed and are legally permitted to do so.

We may refuse any waste that appears to include asbestos, chemicals, oils, solvents, clinical waste, pressurised containers, batteries, electrical goods requiring specific treatment, or materials that are contaminated or unsafe. If waste has been misdescribed, we may charge additional fees, refuse collection, or make a return visit if lawful and practical to do so. The customer remains responsible for providing accurate information about the waste type and volume, and for ensuring that restricted items are not mixed with general waste unless this has been agreed in advance.

Any waste removed by us may be transferred only to lawful disposal, recycling, or treatment facilities, and we will take reasonable steps to ensure that waste is handled responsibly. The customer acknowledges that illegal dumping, misclassification of waste, or failure to comply with duty-of-care obligations may create legal exposure. Where the customer instructs us to dispose of items on their behalf, they must ensure that the request is lawful and that they have the right to release the items for disposal.

Customer Responsibilities

The customer must obtain any necessary permissions, permits, or parking arrangements required for the service. If parking tickets, access restrictions, loading limitations, or building rules cause delay or extra cost, the customer may be charged for the additional time or expense incurred. The customer must also ensure that children, pets, and bystanders are kept safely away from the working area. We may suspend work if conditions are unsafe or if the customer does not cooperate with reasonable safety instructions.

The customer must be present, or must appoint an authorised representative, at both collection and delivery unless otherwise agreed. The authorised representative must have the authority to approve substitutions, changes, extra charges, or completion of the service. If items are left without supervision, the customer accepts responsibility for the risks involved unless the arrangement has been expressly confirmed in writing. We are not responsible for missing items not listed or identified before loading.

Any complaint should be raised as soon as reasonably possible after the issue is discovered. This helps us investigate matters promptly and fairly. The customer should provide relevant details, photographs, or other evidence where available. Nothing in this section affects statutory rights, but we encourage customers to give us the chance to address concerns before escalating the matter elsewhere.

Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform the service where such delay or failure is caused by events beyond our reasonable control. These may include severe weather, accidents, road closures, industrial action, fire, flood, epidemic, public authority restrictions, or the breakdown of essential equipment or vehicles. In such circumstances, the affected obligations will be suspended for the duration of the event, and we will take reasonable steps to minimise disruption.

Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising from them or in connection with them, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where another jurisdiction is required by applicable law. If any part of these terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

This document is intended to provide a clear legal basis for Man With A Van Tottenham services while remaining fair and practical for customers. By proceeding with a booking, the customer confirms that they have read, understood, and accepted these Terms and Conditions. We may update these terms from time to time, and the version in force at the time of the booking will apply unless a different version is expressly agreed in writing.
