Service Terms and Conditions for Removal Company Belgravia

These Service Terms and Conditions govern the provision of domestic and commercial removal services by Removal Company Belgravia, including packing support, loading, transport, unloading, and related handling services. By making a booking, confirming a quotation, or allowing our team to begin work, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms. These conditions are intended to set out the responsibilities of both parties clearly, so that each Belgravia removal service is delivered on a fair, transparent, and professional basis.

For the purposes of these terms, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the removal company, and “you” refers to the customer, sender, recipient, business client, or any authorised representative acting on their behalf. Our services may include a full house move, office relocation, furniture-only transport, packing assistance, storage-related handling, and the disposal of agreed waste items. The exact scope of work will always depend on the written quotation, booking confirmation, and any agreed amendments made before the move date.

These terms apply to all quotations and bookings unless a separate written agreement signed by both parties expressly states otherwise. Any variation to the standard terms must be confirmed in writing. If there is any conflict between a quotation and these terms, the quotation will prevail only where the quotation clearly states that it is intended to override the relevant term. Otherwise, these terms shall remain in full effect for the Removal Company Belgravia service arrangement.

1. Booking Process

All bookings begin with an enquiry and an assessment of the information you provide. To prepare an accurate quotation for your removal company Belgravia service, we may request details such as the inventory size, property access, stairways, lift availability, parking restrictions, floor level, packing requirements, and any fragile or bulky items. We rely on the accuracy of the information supplied, and any significant omission may result in revised pricing, adjusted timings, or extra labour charges.

A booking is not confirmed until you receive written acceptance from us and, where required, the agreed deposit has been paid. A quotation itself is not a fixed reservation. We may issue estimates based on the information available at the time, and if the scope changes before the move date, the price may be revised. The customer must ensure that all relevant decision-makers approve the booking before confirmation, especially where the move concerns a business, landlord, or managed property.

By confirming a booking, you warrant that you have authority to instruct us, accept these terms, and permit access to the premises, items, and any disposal materials involved. You also agree to provide safe and lawful access for our team at the agreed time. If access is delayed, incomplete, or unsuitable, the job may be postponed or additional charges may apply. This is particularly relevant for Belgravia removal services where parking, loading bays, and building rules may affect the schedule, although these terms apply generally across all locations we serve.

2. Service Scope and Customer Responsibilities

Our work may include loading and unloading, dismantling and reassembly of standard furniture where agreed, wrapping and protecting items, and moving goods by road to the stated destination. Unless otherwise agreed, we do not connect or disconnect appliances, handle specialised technical equipment, remove fixed installations, or carry out tradesman tasks. If a task requires specialist skills, licensing, or equipment, it is your responsibility to arrange the appropriate professional unless we have explicitly agreed otherwise in writing.

You are responsible for ensuring that all items are ready for collection at the agreed time, unless packing services have been separately booked. Valuable, fragile, or sentimental items should be clearly identified before the move. You should also remove cash, jewellery, passports, documents, medications, and any prohibited or highly sensitive materials unless we have agreed in advance to transport them under specific conditions. The customer must secure pets, children, and third parties during the move for safety reasons.

Where packing materials are supplied, they remain chargeable unless stated otherwise. Boxes, tape, covers, and protective materials may be reused or removed at our discretion after the move, unless the quotation states that they are to be left with you. If the premises are not reasonably ready for the service to proceed, our team may wait, reschedule, or leave and treat the occasion as a cancelled or failed attendance depending on the circumstances.

4. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and No-Show Charges

You may cancel or request a change to your booking, but the amount of notice given will affect any charge applied. Cancellations made well in advance may be subject to a modest administration fee or loss of deposit, while later cancellations may incur a larger percentage of the agreed fee. The exact amount depends on the notice period, the resources reserved, and whether the move date can be reallocated.

If you wish to reschedule, we will use reasonable efforts to accommodate a new date, but availability cannot be guaranteed. Where the move has been prepared in reliance on the original date, a rescheduling fee may apply. If our team arrives and cannot complete the service because access is unavailable, the premises are not ready, or no authorised person is present, the booking may be treated as a late cancellation or failed attendance, and a call-out charge may be payable.

We may also cancel or reschedule a booking if circumstances beyond our reasonable control prevent performance, including severe weather, traffic disruption, vehicle breakdown, staff illness, emergency incidents, or legal restrictions. In such cases, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you as soon as practicable and to offer an alternative date. Our liability for cancellation caused by force majeure or other external events is limited to refunding sums paid for work not carried out, where appropriate.

5. Liability and Risk

We will take reasonable care when handling your items, but our liability is limited to loss or damage caused by our proven negligence, breach of contract, or deliberate misconduct. We are not responsible for pre-existing damage, normal wear and tear, hidden defects, inadequate packing by the customer, or deterioration resulting from ordinary handling of fragile or unstable items. Glass, antiques, art, electronics, and similar goods should be packed or declared with appropriate care.

Where the customer packs items personally, you accept responsibility for the suitability of the packaging and the way the contents are arranged inside it. We are not liable for damage caused by overfilled boxes, insufficient padding, unsealed containers, or items not fit for transport in their condition at the time of collection. We may refuse to move items that appear unsafe, improperly packed, contaminated, or likely to cause injury or damage during transit.

If damage or loss occurs, you must notify us promptly and provide reasonable evidence, including photographs and a description of the affected goods. Any claim must be submitted within a reasonable time after the move, and in any event no later than the period stated in the quotation or by law where applicable. Our liability, where established, may be limited to repair, replacement, or the fair market value of the item, whichever is lower and subject to any applicable legal limits.

6. Waste, Disposal, and Environmental Compliance

Waste removal and disposal services, where offered, are provided strictly in accordance with applicable UK waste regulations. We will only remove and dispose of items that you are legally entitled to discard and that are described accurately at the time of booking. You must not ask us to dispose of controlled waste, hazardous waste, clinical waste, asbestos, chemicals, pressurised containers, batteries, gas canisters, solvents, paint in unsafe quantities, or any item that requires specialist licensing unless we have expressly agreed to do so and have the correct authorisation.

It is your responsibility to disclose any item that may be classified as waste under environmental law or local authority rules. If we believe an item is unlawful, unsafe, or unsuitable for transport or disposal, we may refuse to handle it. Where items are accepted for disposal, they may be taken to licensed facilities, reuse channels, or recycling centres as appropriate. You agree to pay any associated disposal charges, tolls, or handling fees stated in the quotation or necessarily incurred through compliance.

Ownership of waste items passes to us only where it is lawful to do so and only once we have agreed to take them away. You confirm that any waste handed to us is genuinely yours, or that you have the authority to arrange its removal. If the waste contains concealed hazardous materials, incorrect descriptions, or items requiring special treatment, you will remain responsible for any additional costs, penalties, or claims arising from that misdescription. We reserve the right to document waste transfers in line with regulatory requirements.
