Terms and Conditions for Removal Company Shepherds Bush

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Removal Company Shepherds Bush provides domestic and commercial moving services, including packing, loading, transport, unloading, and related handling services. By making a booking, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms. Please read them carefully before confirming any removal service. In these terms, references to we, us, and our mean the removal company, and references to you and your mean the customer or the person arranging the service.

These terms are intended to be fair, transparent, and consistent with UK consumer law where applicable. They apply to all removal services arranged with our team, whether the move is a single-item collection, a full house removal, a business relocation, or a mixed service that includes packing and storage handling. Any special arrangements must be agreed in writing in advance and will only be valid where accepted by us.

Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights. If any part of these terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect. The company may update these terms from time to time, and the version in force at the time of booking will apply to that service unless otherwise agreed.

Booking a service with Shepherds Bush removals begins with a quotation or estimate based on the information you provide. This may include the size of the move, the number and type of items, access conditions, parking restrictions, timing, and any additional services such as packing materials, dismantling, or disposal of approved waste. Estimates are usually based on the information supplied by you and may change if the actual circumstances differ materially from the details originally given.

A booking is only confirmed when we have accepted the job, agreed the date or date window, and received any required deposit or written acceptance. We may request further information before confirming the booking, including floor level, lift access, heavy or fragile items, and any items that require special handling. It is your responsibility to provide accurate and complete information. If your details are incomplete or misleading, we may revise the price, alter the schedule, or decline to proceed.

Where an estimated time of arrival is provided, it is an estimate only and not a guarantee. Delays may arise due to traffic, weather, prior jobs, parking issues, or access problems beyond our control. We will use reasonable efforts to keep you informed of material delays. Any booking made online, by phone, or by email becomes subject to these terms once accepted by us.

Pricing for UK removal services may be fixed, hourly, or based on a tailored quotation, depending on the nature of the work. Unless otherwise stated, prices are exclusive of any specific charges for parking, congestion, tolls, waiting time, permit fees, disposal fees, or unusual handling requirements. If the job exceeds the agreed scope, additional charges may apply, and these will be explained where practicable before the extra work is undertaken.

Payment terms will be confirmed at the time of booking. We may require a deposit to secure the date and time, with the balance payable on completion of the service unless different terms have been agreed in writing. We accept payment by the methods we make available from time to time. Any invoice issued by us must be paid in full by the due date stated on that invoice. If payment is delayed, we may suspend future services, charge reasonable administrative costs, and where lawful, recover any applicable interest or fees.

All quoted prices are based on the assumption that normal access is available and that the move can be completed within the planned timeframe. If waiting time, repeated lifting, unplanned dismantling, or additional labour is required because of circumstances not disclosed beforehand, the price may be adjusted to reflect the extra time and resources used. We will act reasonably and proportionately in making any such adjustment.

Cancellations and changes must be made as early as possible. If you need to cancel or reschedule a booking, please notify us promptly so that we can release the slot. Depending on when the cancellation is made, a cancellation fee may apply to cover administration and the loss of reserved capacity. If a deposit has been paid, it may be retained in part or in full where reasonable and permitted by law, especially where short notice cancellation prevents us from rebooking the time.

If you change the moving date, access arrangements, inventory, or service requirements after confirmation, we will do our best to accommodate the changes, but we cannot guarantee availability. Significant changes may affect the agreed price, staffing, vehicle size, or timing. We may cancel or postpone a booking if you fail to provide safe access, if the premises are unsuitable for the planned work, or if payment conditions are not met.

You may have cancellation rights under consumer law for certain distance or off-premises contracts, but removal services often involve date-specific arrangements and may be subject to exemptions or partial performance rules. Where a statutory cooling-off right applies, we will provide the relevant information. If you request that the service begins within the cancellation period, you may be required to acknowledge that the service can start before the end of that period and that you may lose some or all cancellation rights once performance has begun, to the extent allowed by law.

Our responsibility is to carry out the agreed removal service with reasonable care and skill. We will take reasonable steps to protect your property during handling and transit. However, you are responsible for ensuring that items are adequately packed unless we have expressly agreed to pack them on your behalf. Fragile, valuable, or irreplaceable items should be clearly identified. We may decline to move items that are unsafe to handle, poorly packed, or likely to cause damage to property, persons, or vehicles.

Our liability for loss or damage is limited to losses caused by our negligence or breach of contract and, where applicable, subject to any agreed valuation or insurance arrangements. We are not liable for wear and tear, pre-existing damage, poor packing by the customer, inherent defects, or damage arising from items being unsuitable for transit. We are also not liable for loss caused by events outside our reasonable control, including fire, flood, severe weather, civil disturbance, theft by third parties, or road closures, except where such events could reasonably have been avoided or mitigated by us.

Any claim for damage, missing items, or service failure should be raised as soon as reasonably possible and, where feasible, at the time the issue is discovered. You should inspect items promptly after delivery and notify us in writing of any alleged loss or damage with sufficient detail to allow investigation. If we request evidence, you must provide photographs, inventory lists, receipts, or other reasonable support for the claim. Our assessment may take time, and you agree to cooperate fully in any investigation.

Where we provide packing materials, boxes, wrapping, or protective coverings, these remain our property until paid for in full if sold separately, and they must be used in accordance with reasonable packing practices. We may refuse to load items that are inadequately secured, leaking, hazardous, or likely to contaminate other goods. If you ask us to dismantle or reassemble furniture, we will do so using reasonable care, but we are not responsible for hidden weaknesses, poor construction, or manufacturer defects.

We reserve the right to refuse to move any item that we reasonably believe is unlawful, dangerous, excessively heavy beyond safe lifting limits, or likely to cause injury or damage. This includes, without limitation, hazardous substances, flammable materials, pressurised containers, explosives, live animals, and prohibited goods. If such items are discovered during the job, we may stop work until the issue is resolved, and any additional costs caused by the delay may be charged to you where lawful.

In relation to storage or temporary holding, any items left with us will be handled in line with the agreed service and any separate storage terms that may apply. You are responsible for ensuring that items placed into storage are lawful to store and suitably packed for the expected duration. We do not accept responsibility for deterioration caused by moisture, poor packaging, or inherent condition where reasonable care has been taken by us.

Any waste removal, clearance, or disposal activity provided as part of a Shepherds Bush removal company service must comply with applicable waste regulations in the UK. We will only remove and dispose of waste where it has been agreed in advance and where the materials are lawful to collect and process. We may require you to separate reusable items from waste and to identify any items that contain hazardous components or require specialist handling.

It is your responsibility to ensure that any waste handed to us is accurately described. You must not include controlled, dangerous, or prohibited waste unless we have expressly agreed and are legally permitted to collect it. We may refuse any waste that does not comply with legal requirements or that would, in our judgment, create a health, safety, licensing, or environmental issue. If incorrect descriptions are provided and additional handling or lawful disposal measures are needed, extra charges may apply.

Where waste is taken for disposal, transfer, treatment, recycling, or reuse, we will act in accordance with the applicable duty of care and record-keeping obligations. We may maintain internal documentation, transfer notes, or related records as required by law. By instructing us to remove waste, you confirm that you have the right to dispose of those items and that they are not subject to third-party ownership, lease, hire, or security arrangements unless those have been expressly disclosed and authorised.

If any item removed from your premises is later found to be an item you intended to retain, notify us immediately. Recovery may be possible if the item remains identifiable and has not been lawfully processed or mixed with other waste, but we cannot guarantee retrieval. Where appropriate, we may charge reasonable administrative, transport, or recovery costs. We will not be responsible for items discarded by mistake if the disposal was based on your instructions or on information provided by you.

You are responsible for arranging suitable parking access, permits, and permissions unless we have expressly agreed to do so on your behalf. If parking restrictions, blocked access, narrow roads, stair-only access, or other site conditions cause delays or require a larger vehicle or additional labour, we may adjust the service charge accordingly. You also warrant that any premises we enter are safe and that any risks, such as loose flooring, low ceilings, or unrestrained pets, are reasonably managed before work begins.

We may suspend or terminate the service if we reasonably believe that continuing would breach law, expose staff to unreasonable risk, or be prevented by your failure to cooperate. If work is terminated due to your breach of these terms, you may still be charged for work already completed and for reasonable costs incurred. Any goods remaining in our care will be released or managed in accordance with the law and with any outstanding payment obligations.

Complaints should be made promptly so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, offer a remedy. We aim to deal with concerns fairly and in a timely manner. Any agreed remedy may include repair, redelivery, partial refund, or other proportionate action, depending on the circumstances and the extent of any proven loss. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under UK law.

The contract between you and us is governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from or connected with these terms or the services provided will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless consumer law provides otherwise. If any disagreement cannot be resolved informally, the parties may pursue the matter through the courts or any lawful alternative dispute resolution process that both sides agree to use.

These terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the relevant service, unless varied in writing. No person who is not a party to the contract has any right to enforce any term under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 unless expressly stated otherwise. By booking with Removal Company Shepherds Bush, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these terms and conditions.
