Terms and Conditions for Man With A Van Isleworth
These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Man With A Van Isleworth provides moving, transport, collection, and related carriage services to customers. By making a booking, confirming a quote, or allowing work to begin, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms. They are written to be clear, fair, and practical for both domestic and commercial jobs. In these terms, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the service provider, while “you” and “your” mean the customer, sender, or person requesting the service.
Man with a van Isleworth services may include loading, transport, unloading, single-item delivery, local removals, office moves, and disposal-related transport where lawful. The exact scope of work is always based on the booking details agreed before the job starts. Any special requirements, such as stair carries, packing, dismantling, waiting time, parking restrictions, or handling of fragile items, should be disclosed in advance. If the job changes on arrival, we may revise the price, timing, or vehicle allocation to reflect the actual work required.
All bookings are subject to availability, operational feasibility, and the accuracy of the information provided by the customer. Where a quote is based on limited information, it is an estimate only until the full details are confirmed. We reserve the right to refuse any booking that we reasonably believe cannot be completed safely, lawfully, or within the agreed terms. By booking Man with a Van Isleworth, you confirm that you are authorised to request the work and accept responsibility for the items, premises, and instructions involved.
Booking process begins when you provide the relevant job details, including pickup and delivery addresses, access conditions, item descriptions, preferred dates, and any time restrictions. Once we review the information, we may provide a quotation or an hourly rate estimate. A booking is only confirmed when we have accepted the job and, where required, any deposit or advance payment has been received. The customer should check all booking details carefully, because errors or omissions may affect the service, pricing, and timing.
It is your responsibility to ensure that the information you provide is accurate and complete. If access is difficult, if there are parking limits, if items are unusually heavy or bulky, or if there are risks related to stairs, lifts, or narrow entrances, these details must be disclosed before the booking is confirmed. If significant details are omitted, we may adjust the price on the day or, in some cases, cancel the booking if the work cannot be performed safely. A Man With A Van Isleworth booking may also be subject to driver availability, traffic, weather, and other factors beyond our reasonable control.
For some jobs, we may ask for photographs, an inventory, or additional instructions in order to provide an accurate estimate. You agree that any accepted quote applies only to the scope of work described at the time of booking. If the job expands, includes additional stops, or requires extra labour, the quote may be revised. This applies whether the service is a flat-rate move or an hourly man with a van Isleworth arrangement. Any changes should be agreed before additional work proceeds, where reasonably possible.
Payments must be made in the manner and by the deadline agreed at the time of booking. We may accept bank transfer, card payment, cash, or another approved method, depending on the job and operational arrangements. Where a deposit is requested, it is used to reserve the date and prepare for the service. Unless otherwise stated, the remaining balance is due on completion of the work, before or immediately after unloading. If the customer fails to pay when due, we may withhold completion, retain goods where lawful, or take reasonable steps to recover the outstanding amount.
All prices are stated in good faith, based on the information supplied and the expected duration, labour, mileage, and vehicle use. Unless expressly confirmed, prices do not include third-party charges such as parking permits, congestion-related costs, tolls, storage, waiting fees, congestion delays, or disposal charges. If additional costs arise during the service and are reasonably connected to the job, these may be added to the final invoice. A Man With A Van Isleworth customer should always review any quote carefully to understand what is included and what may be charged separately.
If you require an invoice, it will normally be issued after completion or within a reasonable period thereafter. Any payment dispute must be raised promptly and in good faith. We may suspend future bookings or refuse further work where there is evidence of non-payment, repeated late payment, chargeback misuse, or fraudulent activity. Failure to pay may also result in debt recovery action, where appropriate and permitted by law. We reserve the right to charge interest or reasonable recovery costs on overdue sums where allowed under applicable legislation.
Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Delays
Bookings may be cancelled or rescheduled by either party, but notice should be given as early as possible. If you need to cancel, please do so as soon as you know the job will not proceed. Cancellations made shortly before the scheduled time may incur a fee to cover lost availability, administrative costs, or vehicle allocation. The amount charged will depend on how much notice was given, whether preparatory work has already been completed, and whether the slot could reasonably have been reallocated to another customer.
Where a deposit has been paid, it may be non-refundable in whole or in part if the cancellation occurs after we have reserved resources, declined other work, or otherwise incurred costs. If we have already started travel to the job, a cancellation charge may apply even if loading has not yet begun. We will act reasonably when applying cancellation fees and will consider the circumstances of each case. A Man with a Van Isleworth booking that is postponed due to customer unavailability may be treated as a cancellation unless a new date is agreed immediately.
We may also cancel or delay a booking if there are weather, traffic, safety, access, or operational problems that make it impractical or unsafe to proceed. If this happens, we will try to notify you promptly and arrange an alternative time where possible. We are not responsible for losses caused by unavoidable delays, provided we have taken reasonable steps to minimise disruption. If the delay is caused by our own fault, our liability will be limited as described below. This policy applies to all Man With A Van Isleworth jobs, including urgent same-day arrangements.
Liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. We will take reasonable care when handling items and carrying out the service, but we are not liable for losses that are indirect, consequential, or outside our control. This includes, without limitation, loss of profit, missed appointments, business interruption, emotional distress, or costs arising from delays caused by traffic, weather, parking restrictions, access issues, or inaccurate customer information. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that items are packed securely, fit for transport, and suitable for being moved. Unless we expressly agree otherwise, we are not responsible for fragile goods, electronics, antiques, glass, artwork, or sentimental items unless they are properly protected and disclosed in advance. Any item moved at your request is carried at your risk unless damage arises from our proven negligence. For high-value goods, we recommend arranging suitable insurance before the job begins. A Man With A Van Isleworth service does not automatically include specialist insurance unless stated in writing.
If damage or loss is alleged, it must be reported as soon as reasonably possible and, where practical, before the service ends. We may ask for photographs, proof of value, purchase records, or other evidence to assess the claim. We do not accept responsibility for pre-existing damage, wear and tear, poor packaging, hidden defects, or items that were already unstable or improperly secured. Where our liability is established, our liability will be limited to the reasonable repair cost, replacement value, or re-performance of the relevant part of the service, whichever is appropriate and lawful.
Waste Regulations and Disposal
Where our service includes removal, disposal, or transport of unwanted items, both parties must comply with applicable waste laws and regulations. We only handle waste that we are legally permitted and properly equipped to carry. Customers must not ask us to remove hazardous, clinical, toxic, explosive, or illegally dumped materials unless we have specifically agreed in writing and are authorised to do so. It is your responsibility to tell us what is being disposed of so that we can determine whether the job is lawful and suitable.
We may require proof of the contents, origin, or ownership of waste items before accepting them for removal. The customer warrants that any waste handed over for transport or disposal is not stolen, dangerous, or prohibited. Where items qualify as controlled waste, trade waste, or special waste, additional documentation, segregation, handling, or charges may apply. A Man With A Van Isleworth disposal service is provided only on the basis that the customer has given accurate information and accepts responsibility for any legal consequences arising from false or incomplete descriptions.
If waste is collected from a home, business, or other premises, you remain responsible for ensuring that the material is lawfully presented for removal. We reserve the right to refuse any item that appears unsafe, contaminated, or not suitable for transport. If we reasonably suspect that waste is illegal or improperly classified, we may stop the job immediately and notify the relevant authorities if required by law. No refund will be due where a refusal or interruption results from inaccurate information or unlawful conduct by the customer. A man with a van Isleworth waste removal arrangement does not transfer legal responsibility for waste classification to us unless expressly agreed and documented.
Customer obligations include ensuring lawful access, lawful ownership or authority over the items, and truthful disclosure of all relevant conditions. You must obtain any landlord permission, building consent, parking permission, or site access approval needed for the job. You are also responsible for safeguarding children, pets, and vulnerable persons during loading and unloading. We may pause work if the environment is unsafe, overcrowded, or unsuitable for manual handling. In such circumstances, additional waiting or rebooking fees may apply where the issue is caused by the customer or a third party under the customer’s control.
Any assistance we provide with lifting, dismantling, or placement is offered on the assumption that the item is suitable for normal manual handling and the environment is reasonably safe. We are not obliged to move items that are structurally unsafe, excessively heavy, or likely to cause injury without the correct equipment or support. If a customer insists on proceeding against our advice, we may refuse to continue. The same applies if an item is likely to damage walls, floors, doors, or fixtures and the risk cannot be reasonably managed. Man with a Van Isleworth customers should therefore ensure the premises are prepared for the work.
We may take reasonable photographs of items, access points, or completed work for operational and evidential purposes, including record-keeping and dispute resolution. Such records will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection law. They are not used for promotional purposes unless separate permission is given. Our aim is to keep the process straightforward while maintaining standards of safety, fairness, and compliance. These terms apply equally whether the booking is for a single item, a full household move, or a scheduled business transport task.
General Provisions
Variation of terms may occur from time to time, and the version in force at the time of your booking will normally apply. If a term is held to be unlawful or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms will continue to apply. No failure or delay by us in enforcing a right shall be treated as a waiver of that right. Any verbal promise or informal understanding will only be binding if confirmed in writing by an authorised representative. These terms are intended to create a fair framework for a reliable Man With A Van Isleworth service.
If a customer breaches these terms, we may suspend the service, refuse further work, or terminate the booking without liability where reasonably justified. Examples of breach include non-payment, abusive conduct, unsafe premises, misrepresentation of the job, illegal items, or attempts to conceal material facts. We may also decline to continue if doing so would expose our staff, vehicle, or other property to undue risk. In such cases, any refund will be considered in light of the work already completed, costs incurred, and the reason for termination.
Governing law and jurisdiction: these Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with the service, the booking, or these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. This means that legal questions, claims, or proceedings will be determined under English law, with no reference to any other legal system. By booking with Man With A Van Isleworth, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms.
