Terms and Conditions for Man With A Van Romford

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Man With A Van Romford provides removal, delivery, collection, and transport services to customers in the United Kingdom. By making a booking, accepting a quotation, or allowing our team to commence work, you agree to be bound by these terms. Please read them carefully before confirming any service.

In these Terms and Conditions, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the service provider operating under the man with a van Romford brand. References to “you” and “your” mean the customer, hirer, or authorised representative requesting the service. These terms apply to domestic and commercial jobs unless a separate written agreement states otherwise. They are intended to be fair, clear, and consistent with applicable UK law.

Our services may include single-item transport, small removals, furniture delivery, office moves, waste removal, loading and unloading assistance, and related labour. The exact scope of each job depends on the quotation, job description, and any written notes agreed before the booking is confirmed. If the service requested changes materially after booking, we may revise the price, timing, or resources required.

1. Booking Process

A booking is only confirmed when we have accepted your request and, where applicable, received any required deposit or written acceptance of the quotation. A quotation is based on the information you provide, including the items to be moved, collection and delivery points, access conditions, stairs, parking, time restrictions, and whether additional labour is needed. If any of this information is inaccurate or incomplete, the final charge may change.

You are responsible for ensuring that all details supplied at the time of booking are correct. This includes the size, weight, fragility, quantity, and nature of the items, as well as any special handling requirements. If your booking involves restricted access, narrow stairwells, long carries, or parking constraints, you must tell us in advance. Failure to disclose such matters may result in delays, extra charges, or refusal to undertake the work if it cannot safely be completed.

We reserve the right to decline or cancel a booking where the service requested is unsafe, unlawful, outside our capability, or inconsistent with the information originally supplied. While we aim to provide punctual and reliable man and van services, estimated arrival times are not guaranteed unless expressly stated in a written agreement. Reasonable delays may occur due to traffic, weather, loading complications, or events beyond our control.

2. Pricing and Payments

Prices may be calculated on an hourly basis, fixed quotation basis, or job-specific basis depending on the nature of the work. Unless otherwise agreed, quotations are valid for a limited period and may be amended if the job changes or if additional waiting time, labour, mileage, or access difficulties arise. Any additional charges will be explained where reasonably possible before they are incurred.

Unless stated otherwise, payment is due on completion of the job or immediately upon invoice. We may require a deposit to secure a booking, particularly for larger moves, waste collections, or services booked at busy times. Accepted payment methods may include bank transfer, card payment, or cash, subject to prior agreement. Where a deposit has been paid, it may be non-refundable in the event of a late cancellation as set out below.

All prices are quoted in pounds sterling and may be stated inclusive or exclusive of VAT depending on our business structure and the particular service offered. If VAT applies, this will be made clear on the quotation or invoice. If payment is not made when due, we may charge reasonable recovery costs and interest in accordance with applicable law. We also reserve the right to suspend any ongoing or future Romford van hire service until outstanding sums are paid in full.

3. Customer Responsibilities

You must ensure that the items to be moved are ready for collection at the agreed time and location. Where packing is your responsibility, items must be suitably packed, sealed, and labelled if necessary. We are not responsible for delays caused by poorly packed goods, items left inaccessible, or inaccurate information about the load. If dismantling, reassembly, or specialist handling is required, this must be agreed in advance.

You must have authority to arrange the service and to permit access to the premises from which items are collected or delivered. If keys, codes, passes, or permits are required, you must provide them in good time. You are also responsible for ensuring that no item presented for transport is prohibited by law or unsuitable for carriage. This includes dangerous goods, illegal substances, hazardous materials, and any item that presents an unreasonable risk.

Where our team assists with loading or unloading, you must provide a safe working environment. This includes clear access routes, reasonable parking arrangements where possible, and disclosure of any known hazards such as weak flooring, low ceilings, or unstable stairs. We may refuse to move items if, in our reasonable opinion, the task could cause damage, injury, or breach of law. Our aim is to deliver a professional van with driver Romford service while maintaining safety and compliance.

4. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Waiting Time

You may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving us notice as early as possible. If you cancel with sufficient notice before the scheduled time, we may at our discretion refund any deposit in full or in part, depending on work already undertaken and any costs already incurred. If cancellation occurs at short notice, particularly after vehicles or staff have been allocated, the deposit may be retained and further charges may apply.

If you are unable to provide access, are not present at the agreed time, or fail to make the items available for collection, we may treat this as a late cancellation or a wasted journey. In such circumstances, a minimum call-out fee, waiting charge, or full booked-service charge may be applied. Any waiting time beyond a reasonable period may also be chargeable if caused by the customer, the site, or the customer’s representatives.

We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate changes to the booking, but rescheduling is subject to availability. Where a new date is agreed, the original quotation may no longer apply. If weather, road closures, or other circumstances outside our control affect performance, we may postpone the service or adjust the route and timing. We will always seek to act fairly and communicate practical alternatives where possible.

5. Liability, Damage, and Insurance

We will exercise reasonable care and skill in providing our services. However, except where prohibited by law, we are not liable for indirect loss, consequential loss, loss of profit, or loss arising from circumstances outside our reasonable control. 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.

Where we are responsible for damage to property caused by our negligence, our liability will normally be limited to the reasonable repair cost or, where repair is not possible, the fair market value of the affected item immediately before the damage occurred. We do not accept liability for items that are inadequately packed, already damaged, unstable, or unsuitable for transport. Customers are encouraged to remove or secure loose parts, mirrors, glass, drawers, and detachable fittings before collection.

Unless expressly agreed in writing, we do not provide full insurance cover for the contents of your load, and it remains your responsibility to maintain appropriate insurance for valuable, fragile, or irreplaceable items. You should notify us in advance if any item has exceptional value or requires specialist handling. Where customers choose not to disclose such matters, we may exclude liability to the maximum extent permitted by law.

6. Waste Removal and Environmental Compliance

Where our service includes waste collection or disposal, you agree that all waste is accurately described and lawfully presented. We operate in line with UK waste regulations and may require details about the source, type, and quantity of waste. We reserve the right to inspect items before loading and to refuse materials that are hazardous, prohibited, or misdescribed. This includes asbestos, chemicals, clinical waste, pressurised containers, batteries, oils, solvents, and other controlled materials unless specifically agreed and lawfully handled.

You must not place waste in our vehicle without telling us if it contains electrical items, recyclable materials, mixed waste streams, or items requiring separate treatment. If the waste is found to be non-compliant, contaminated, or unlawfully described, additional fees may apply, and we may decline to transport or dispose of it. The customer remains responsible for ensuring that waste transfer is lawful and that no criminal offence is committed through misrepresentation or improper disposal.

Where required, we may provide waste transfer documentation, and you should retain any records supplied. By using our man with a van service in Romford for waste-related work, you confirm that you are the owner of the waste or are authorised to arrange its collection. We will act as a licensed or compliant carrier only to the extent required by law and by the specific service booked. We may refuse any load that could expose us to regulatory breach or unsafe handling.

7. Conduct, Access, and Use of Premises

You agree to ensure that our staff, vehicles, and equipment can access the property safely and lawfully. If permissions, permits, or parking arrangements are required, it is your responsibility to obtain them unless we have expressly agreed otherwise. You must also ensure that pets, children, and other persons are kept clear of the working area where necessary. We may suspend work temporarily if access conditions create a hazard.

We expect all parties to behave respectfully and without harassment, intimidation, or abuse. Our team may leave the site if they are subjected to threatening conduct, unsafe conditions, or unreasonable interference. In such cases, we may charge for time spent and costs incurred. We may also refuse to continue if carrying out the job would breach health and safety requirements or expose our personnel to unacceptable risk.

Our vehicles and equipment remain our property at all times. You must not tamper with, misuse, or remove them. Any assistance given by our staff, including advice on loading, is provided in good faith but does not transfer responsibility for item suitability, packing, or lawful carriage. The customer retains responsibility for final approval of all items handed over for transport.

8. Complaints and Disputes

If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of the service, you should raise the matter as soon as reasonably possible so that we can investigate. We may ask for photographs, written details, or other evidence to help us assess the issue. Our aim is to resolve disputes fairly and promptly, whether the concern relates to timing, handling, billing, or damage.

Any claim relating to damage or loss must be notified within a reasonable time after the service is completed, and in any event as soon as the issue is discovered. Failure to notify us promptly may affect our ability to investigate the matter and may limit any remedy available. We may offer repair, replacement, partial refund, or another reasonable solution depending on the circumstances and the extent of any fault on our part.

If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, both parties agree to attempt good-faith negotiation before pursuing legal action. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking advice from the courts where necessary. These terms are intended to support a professional man and van hire arrangement with clear rights and responsibilities for both sides.

9. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising from or in connection with them, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. If you are a consumer resident in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also benefit from any mandatory rights available under the law of your home jurisdiction.

Any legal proceedings relating to these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, except where consumer law provides otherwise. If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. No failure or delay by us in enforcing any right shall operate as a waiver of that right.

By booking Man With A Van Romford, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and Conditions. We may update this page from time to time to reflect changes in law, business practice, or service structure. The version in force at the time of booking will apply to your job unless otherwise agreed in writing.
