Terms and Conditions for Man With A Van Shepherds Bush

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Man With A Van Shepherds Bush provides domestic and commercial transport, lifting, loading, and related removal services. By placing a booking, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms in full. For the purposes of this document, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the service provider operating under the Man With A Van Shepherds Bush name, and references to “you” or “the customer” mean the person or business making the booking.

These terms are intended to create a clear and fair agreement for the use of our van and driver services, including single-item collections, multi-item transport, small removals, and local or long-distance journeys. They apply to all bookings unless we have confirmed alternative terms in writing. Please read them carefully before confirming a reservation, as a booking request, deposit payment, or acceptance of a quoted service may all indicate your agreement to these conditions.

Man With A Van Shepherds Bush aims to provide an efficient and professional service, but certain obligations remain with the customer. You are responsible for ensuring that the items to be moved are ready, properly packed where appropriate, and safe to handle. You must also make sure that access arrangements, parking permissions, and any required building approvals are in place before the scheduled arrival time.

Booking Process

All bookings with our man with a van service are subject to availability and confirmation. A booking becomes valid only once we have reviewed the details provided by you and confirmed the service in writing or by another recorded method. The information supplied at the time of booking must be accurate and complete, including collection and delivery locations, item descriptions, estimated load size, access conditions, and preferred dates or time windows.

We may provide an estimate or quotation based on the information supplied. If the actual requirements differ from the details given, we reserve the right to revise the price, adjust the vehicle size, or decline the job if it cannot be carried out safely or lawfully. A van and man service quote may also change if there are delays, additional labour needs, waiting time, multiple collection points, or restricted access that was not disclosed in advance.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the booking reflects the true nature of the work. If you are unsure about item size, staircase access, parking limitations, heavy goods, or fragile contents, you should disclose these details before the service date. We may refuse to transport items that are unsafe, unsuitable, illegal, or materially different from those described when the booking was made.

Service Standards and Customer Responsibilities

Our Shepherds Bush van hire with driver service is delivered with reasonable care and skill, using appropriate equipment where necessary and subject to operational conditions. We will aim to arrive within the agreed time window, but arrival times are estimates and may be affected by traffic, weather, loading delays, or circumstances beyond our control. We are not liable for minor delays where we have acted reasonably and kept you informed where possible.

You must ensure that someone authorised is present at both the collection and delivery addresses, unless we have agreed a different arrangement in writing. The customer should be available to provide access, sign for completion if required, and confirm the items to be moved. If no one is available, or if access is denied, we may charge waiting time, aborted journey costs, or redelivery charges. Our Shepherds Bush man with a van team may also refuse to proceed if conditions appear unsafe or if the goods cannot be moved without risk to property or people.

Unless otherwise agreed, you are responsible for packing, sealing, and labelling your belongings appropriately. Fragile, valuable, or sentimental items should be suitably protected. We may assist with loading and unloading, but any packing carried out by the customer remains their responsibility. Where we provide wrapping or handling assistance, this does not remove the customer’s duty to declare any special fragility or value before the job begins.

Payment terms for Man With A Van Shepherds Bush services will be stated in the quote, invoice, or booking confirmation. We may require a deposit, partial prepayment, or full payment in advance depending on the nature of the job, the timing of the booking, or the amount of work involved. Unless otherwise agreed, any balance due must be paid immediately on completion of the service.

We accept payment methods notified to you at the point of booking. All prices are normally quoted in pounds sterling and may be subject to VAT where applicable. Any quoted price is based on the information you provide and the assumptions set out in the quotation. Additional charges may apply for stairs, long carries, parking fees, congestion, tolls, waiting time, extra labour, storage, re-delivery, or disposal of materials if such costs arise during the job.

Where the customer fails to make payment on time, we may charge interest or recovery costs to the extent permitted by law. We may also suspend further work, retain goods only where lawfully entitled to do so, or pursue recovery through appropriate channels. A man with van Shepherds Bush booking is not deemed complete until all outstanding sums have been paid in full.

Cancellations, Rescheduling and No-Shows

Cancellations must be made as early as possible. If you cancel a booking, we may retain some or all of any deposit paid, depending on the notice provided and any costs already incurred. A late cancellation may result in a charge to cover lost time, reserved vehicle capacity, or work already undertaken to prepare for the job. The closer the cancellation is to the scheduled date and time, the more likely it is that fees will apply.

If you need to reschedule, we will try to accommodate the request, but any new date remains subject to availability. A change in schedule may require a revised price if the service requirements, access conditions, or time commitments differ from the original booking. If you are not present at the agreed time and location, or if the job cannot proceed because of inaccurate details or lack of access, this may be treated as a no-show or aborted service.

In the event of extreme weather, vehicle breakdown, road closures, illness, or other events outside our reasonable control, we may cancel or delay the booking. If this happens, we will aim to notify you promptly and, where possible, offer an alternative time. We will not be responsible for indirect losses caused by such disruption, provided we have taken reasonable steps to minimise the impact.

Liability and Limitations

We will exercise reasonable care and skill when handling your property. However, liability is limited to direct loss or damage caused by our proven negligence or breach of contract, and only to the extent permitted by law. We do not accept responsibility for ordinary wear and tear, pre-existing damage, hidden defects, or damage caused by unsuitable packing, insecure loading by the customer, or inaccurate instructions.

Our van with man Shepherds Bush service is not an insurance policy. Customers are strongly encouraged to arrange suitable insurance for valuables, fragile goods, and items of exceptional worth. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, we are not responsible for loss of profit, missed appointments, business interruption, emotional distress, or other indirect or consequential losses. Any claim must be notified to us promptly, with reasonable evidence and an opportunity for us to inspect the issue.

Where we are found liable, our total liability shall be limited, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the amount paid for the specific service in question or to the level of cover expressly agreed in writing, whichever is lower. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded.

Waste Regulations and Prohibited Items

When our Man With A Van Shepherds Bush service is used for clearing, transporting, or disposing of unwanted goods, all waste handling must comply with applicable UK waste regulations. The customer must clearly tell us in advance if any items are to be treated as waste, scrap, or refuse. We will only transport waste in circumstances that comply with legal requirements and our operational policies.

You are responsible for ensuring that waste presented for collection is lawful to move and does not include prohibited or hazardous materials unless we have expressly agreed in writing and are legally able to handle them. This includes, but is not limited to, asbestos, chemicals, oils, paints, solvents, pressurised containers, clinical waste, gas cylinders, batteries, and any item classified as dangerous goods. We may refuse any load that appears unsafe or non-compliant.

Where waste is collected, you confirm that you have the right to dispose of it and that it has not been mixed with materials requiring specialist treatment unless this has been declared in advance. We may ask for details about the origin and nature of the waste to ensure compliance with the law. If a load is later found to include illegal or undeclared waste, you agree to indemnify us against resulting fines, costs, claims, and disposal charges, unless the issue was caused by our own misconduct.

If parking restrictions, permits, loading bays, building access rules, lifts, security checks, or site-specific procedures apply, it is your duty to arrange them in advance and pay any related fees unless we have agreed otherwise. Delays caused by inability to park close to the property, restricted access, or long carrying distances may be subject to additional charges. The customer should also ensure that the route is clear and that items can be moved without unnecessary obstruction.

We may refuse to move items where access conditions create an unacceptable risk to our staff, the property, or the goods. This may include unsafe stairs, unstable flooring, severe weather, insufficient space, or obstacles that cannot be reasonably removed. Where a service cannot be completed for these reasons, the booking may still be chargeable if our attendance and preparation time have been used.

You agree to disclose any information that could reasonably affect the performance or safety of the service, including narrow entrances, lift restrictions, timed access, shared hallways, fragile surfaces, or carrying distance. A failure to disclose such matters may lead to revised costs or cancellation by us without liability for any resulting delay or inconvenience.

Storage of Goods and Uncollected Items

Where items are left with us temporarily because immediate delivery is not possible, any storage arrangement must be agreed separately and may be subject to additional terms and charges. We are not a warehousing provider by default, and we may decline to store items that are bulky, hazardous, valuable, or unsuitable for temporary retention. Any storage period agreed will begin only once the relevant terms have been confirmed.

If goods are not collected, accepted, or delivered due to circumstances caused by the customer, we may store them only for a reasonable period if we choose to do so, and we may charge associated costs. If the items remain unclaimed after reasonable notice, we may take steps permitted by law to recover outstanding sums, including disposal or resale where lawful and appropriate. Any proceeds may be applied to cover debt, storage, and handling costs.

We will take reasonable care of any goods in our possession, but the customer remains responsible for arranging insurance and for providing accurate contact and delivery information. We are not liable for deterioration caused by inherent defects, poor packaging, or the passage of time where the goods were already vulnerable or perishable.

Claims, Complaints and Dispute Resolution

If you believe something has gone wrong with your Shepherds Bush man with a van booking, you should notify us as soon as reasonably possible and provide supporting details. Any claim for loss or damage should be made promptly so that we can investigate while the facts remain fresh. You must give us a fair opportunity to inspect the items, review the circumstances, and attempt an appropriate resolution.

We encourage the parties to resolve disputes amicably and in good faith. Where a complaint can be corrected by repair, partial refund, service credit, or another reasonable remedy, we may offer an outcome that reflects the nature of the issue and the extent of any proven loss. Nothing in these terms prevents either party from seeking legal rights or remedies where informal resolution is not successful.

Any failure by us to insist on strict performance of a term on one occasion does not waive our right to enforce that term later. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising from them or in connection with the services provided by Man With A Van Shepherds Bush, 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 mandatory legal rights provide otherwise.

By confirming a booking, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms. They form the entire agreement between you and us in relation to the booked services, unless a separate written contract expressly states otherwise. We may update these terms from time to time, and the version in force at the time of booking will apply unless a change is required by law.

For clarity, these Terms and Conditions are intended to support a professional man with a van service by setting realistic expectations on booking, payment, cancellation, liability, and compliance. They are designed to protect both parties and to ensure that each move, delivery, or clearance is carried out safely, lawfully, and with reasonable care.
