Movers Brompton Service Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Movers Brompton provides removal, moving, and related service solutions to customers in the United Kingdom. By making a booking with us, you agree that these terms apply to the services requested, whether the work involves home removals, office relocations, single-item transport, or associated handling tasks. Please read this document carefully before confirming any service. It explains how bookings are made, when payment becomes due, how cancellations are handled, what liability we accept, and how waste and disposal matters are regulated under UK law.

For clarity, references to we, us, and our mean Movers Brompton, and references to you and your mean the customer, client, or authorised representative making the booking. These terms are designed to be fair, transparent, and practical for both sides. They apply unless we agree otherwise in writing. If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining sections will continue in full force. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights under UK consumer law.

The service may be booked for a specific date, time window, or period, depending on availability and the nature of the work. As a customer of Movers Brompton, you are responsible for providing accurate details about the property, the access conditions, the number and type of items, and any special handling requirements. We may rely on the information you provide when calculating the quotation, allocating staff, and selecting vehicle capacity. If the information changes before the scheduled service, you must notify us as soon as possible, as adjustments may affect timing, equipment, and pricing.

Booking Process
Bookings are usually confirmed in stages. First, you provide a service request, either by phone, online enquiry, or written communication. We may ask for photographs, an inventory, measurements, parking information, or details of access restrictions. After reviewing the request, we may issue an estimate or quotation. A quotation may be subject to change if the scope of work changes or if the information supplied is incomplete or inaccurate. A booking is only confirmed once we accept your request and, where required, receive any deposit or advance payment agreed at the time of booking.

We reserve the right to refuse or decline a booking where the job is unsafe, impractical, unlawful, outside our service scope, or where we reasonably believe the requested service could cause damage, delay, or risk to persons or property. The customer must ensure that the person making the booking has authority to do so. If you book on behalf of another person, company, landlord, tenant, or occupier, you remain jointly responsible for payment unless we agree otherwise in writing.

Any times given for arrival or completion are estimates only unless expressly stated as fixed. Moving services may be affected by traffic, weather, access issues, parking restrictions, loading delays, prior jobs, or other circumstances beyond our control. We will aim to arrive within the agreed time window, but time-sensitive schedules should not be arranged unless confirmed in writing. If you require access to a property at a specific time, you should tell us in advance so that we can assess whether the request is realistic and practicable.

Payments and Charges
Unless otherwise agreed, our charges may be calculated on a fixed-price basis, hourly basis, or by reference to a combination of labour, vehicle use, distance, and specialist services. Any quote is based on the details supplied at the time of pricing and may exclude additional charges for parking, tolls, congestion-related costs, waiting time, stair carries, dismantling, reassembly, packing materials, or disposal services. Where a quote is given as an estimate, the final amount may vary if the job takes longer or requires more resources than anticipated.

Payment terms will be set out before the service begins or in the booking confirmation. In most cases, full payment is due on completion of the service unless a deposit, part-payment, or prepayment has been agreed. We may request immediate payment by card, bank transfer, cash, or another agreed method. If payment is not made when due, we may charge reasonable recovery costs and interest on overdue sums, to the extent permitted by law. We also reserve the right to suspend future bookings until outstanding balances are settled.

Any deposit paid to secure a booking may be non-refundable where this is clearly stated at the time of payment and where we have reserved staff, equipment, or vehicle time for your service. If a quotation is revised because the job scope changes, we will normally inform you before additional charges are incurred, provided this is reasonably possible. If you ask us to carry out extra tasks not included in the original agreement, those additional services will be chargeable and may be invoiced separately.

Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Customer Responsibilities

You may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving reasonable notice. The amount of notice required may depend on the service type, the size of the job, and whether staff or vehicles have already been allocated. If you cancel with sufficient notice, any deposit handling will be governed by the booking confirmation and these terms. If you cancel at short notice or fail to be present at the agreed time, we may charge a cancellation fee to cover reasonable losses, administrative costs, or wasted attendance.

We may cancel or postpone a service if circumstances make performance unsafe, unlawful, or impractical. This may include severe weather, road closures, access problems, mechanical failure, staff illness, or events beyond our reasonable control. In such cases, we will use reasonable efforts to rearrange the booking. We will not be liable for delays or non-performance caused by events outside our control, provided we act reasonably and notify you as soon as practicable. This does not affect any rights you may have where consumer protection law requires a different outcome.

You are responsible for ensuring that the premises are ready for the agreed service. This includes arranging lawful parking where necessary, securing building access, protecting fragile items, disconnecting appliances where required, and ensuring that items requiring specialist handling are identified in advance. If we cannot complete the service because access is blocked, items are unsafe, or the premises are not ready, we may charge for wasted time, attempted attendance, or partial work already completed.

Liability and Insurance
We will take reasonable care when handling your belongings and performing the service. However, our liability is limited to losses caused by our proven negligence, breach of contract, or wilful misconduct, subject always to mandatory law. We do not accept responsibility for pre-existing damage, fair wear and tear, inherent defects, items inadequately packed by the customer, or damage caused by false, incomplete, or misleading instructions. We also do not accept liability for delays caused by traffic, third parties, weather, or events beyond our control.

Where we provide packing or wrapping services, we will use reasonable care and suitable materials, but fragile, valuable, sentimental, or irreplaceable items should be declared in advance so that appropriate precautions can be considered. Certain items may require special handling, insurance, or a separate agreement. Unless expressly agreed, we do not transport prohibited or restricted goods, including hazardous materials, illegal goods, perishable items, live animals, or items that require specialist licensing. You must tell us about such items before the service date.

If any claim is made for loss or damage, you must notify us within a reasonable time after discovering the issue and provide sufficient detail and evidence to allow us to investigate. Our total liability for any single event or connected series of events will be limited to the amount paid or payable for the specific service giving rise to the claim, except where the law requires otherwise. 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 lawfully be excluded.

Waste Regulations and Disposal Services

Customers must accurately describe any waste or items to be removed. You must not present us with controlled waste, hazardous substances, electrical waste requiring special handling, asbestos, chemicals, pressurised containers, clinical waste, gas cylinders, or any other material that is restricted by law unless we have expressly agreed to deal with it and hold the necessary authority. If undeclared prohibited items are discovered, we may stop work, remove only the lawful portion of the load, or return the items at your expense where permitted.

If waste transfer documentation, receipts, or other records are required by law or by our operational procedures, you agree to provide truthful information and cooperate with reasonable requests. Ownership of waste or disposable materials normally transfers to us only where this is lawful and expressly accepted as part of the service. We do not accept responsibility for contamination, unlawful fly-tipping by third parties, or consequences arising from inaccurate item descriptions supplied by the customer. You remain responsible for ensuring that any waste handed over is lawful for collection and disposal.

Service Standards, Access, and Additional Conditions
We will perform the service using reasonable skill and care and in accordance with the description agreed at the time of booking. If we supply boxes, wrapping materials, protection covers, tools, or other equipment, these remain our property unless sold to you separately. You are responsible for keeping pathways clear, protecting floors where necessary, and ensuring that lifts, stairways, and entrances can be used safely. If additional labour is required because access is limited, items are unusually heavy, or work must be carried out manually over a longer distance, further charges may apply.

We may ask you to move personal documents, cash, jewellery, medicines, confidential records, or other high-value possessions separately. Unless expressly agreed in writing, we are not responsible for such items if they are packed into boxes or left unattended. You should take reasonable steps to safeguard any item of exceptional value and to notify us in advance if you need a special arrangement. Where our team receives instructions from an authorised person on site, we may rely on those instructions unless they are clearly inconsistent with the booking details or appear unsafe.

If the service is delayed by your actions or omissions, including late access, incorrect addresses, missing keys, or failure to prepare the premises, we may charge waiting time or additional attendance costs. If completion is not possible on the booked day because of circumstances within your control, we may treat the appointment as cancelled and charge accordingly. Our team may leave the premises if continuing work would be unsafe, abusive, unlawful, or likely to result in serious damage. In such cases, the booking may be suspended without prejudice to our right to recover charges already incurred.

Complaints and General Provisions
If you are unhappy with any aspect of the service, you should notify us promptly so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, put matters right. Any complaint should include enough detail for us to identify the issue, including the date of service and the nature of the concern. We will consider complaints in good faith and aim to respond within a reasonable period. Any settlement or goodwill resolution reached by us will not amount to an admission of liability unless expressly stated.

These terms, together with any quotation or booking confirmation, form the entire agreement between you and us regarding the relevant service. No statement by a third party or previous discussion will override these terms unless confirmed in writing by an authorised representative of Movers Brompton. We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in law, business practice, or service structure. The version in force at the time of your booking will normally apply to that booking unless a later written agreement says otherwise.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute, claim, or matter arising from or connected with the services, these terms, or any booking shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, except where consumer law requires otherwise. If any court or competent authority determines that a provision is invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be treated as modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.

By confirming a booking with Movers Brompton, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms. They are intended to support a clear working relationship, protect both customer and service provider, and ensure that services are delivered in a lawful and professional manner. If you need a special arrangement, it must be agreed in writing before the service begins.
