Pinner Man And Van Terms and Conditions

Man and van vehicle prepared for a booking and loading serviceThese Terms and Conditions apply to all services provided by Pinner Man And Van in connection with removals, deliveries, transport, loading, unloading, collection, disposal, and related moving services. By making a booking, requesting a quote, or accepting a service, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms. If the customer is booking on behalf of another person, they confirm that they have authority to accept these terms for that person.

This document is intended to set out the basis on which Pinner Man And Van provides services within the United Kingdom. It should be read carefully before any booking is confirmed. Nothing in these terms affects any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded under UK law. Where any term is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining terms will continue to apply.

Customer booking details and transport agreement being reviewedFor the purposes of these terms, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Pinner Man And Van. “You” and “your” refer to the customer, the person making the booking, and any person receiving the service. References to “service” include any quote, collection, delivery, man and van hire, house move, office move, bulky item transport, and waste collection where agreed in advance.

1. Booking Process

A booking is only confirmed when we have accepted the customer’s request and provided confirmation in writing, by email, message, or other recorded method. Requests for quotations do not create a binding booking. The customer must provide accurate information at the time of booking, including the addresses involved, access conditions, item descriptions, number of floors, parking restrictions, and any special handling requirements. If the details provided are incomplete or incorrect, we may revise the quote, adjust the service, or decline the job.

We reserve the right to refuse any booking at our discretion, including where the requested work is unsafe, unlawful, outside our scope, or not reasonably capable of being completed with the resources agreed. The customer must ensure that all items to be moved are available on the agreed date and time, and that access is safe and lawful. Delays caused by missing information, incorrect addresses, blocked access, or unprepared items may lead to additional charges.

Moving team handling furniture and transport arrangementsAny estimate given before the service is based on the information supplied by the customer. Unless stated otherwise, estimates are not fixed-price guarantees if the actual work differs from the description provided. We may reasonably amend the price where the scope of work changes, additional labour is required, waiting time is incurred, or extra services are requested during the job. The customer will be informed as soon as reasonably practicable if such changes apply.

2. Payments and Charges

Prices may be quoted on an hourly basis, fixed basis, or as a combination of both, depending on the nature of the work. All charges will be communicated before the service begins wherever practical. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due in full on completion of the job and must be made using the methods accepted at the time of booking. We may require a deposit for certain bookings, larger moves, waste removal, or time-specific appointments.

The customer is responsible for paying all agreed charges, including any additional labour, congestion, parking, tolls, permits, waiting time, storage costs, disposal fees, or other reasonable expenses incurred in the course of providing the service. If the customer requests changes during the job that increase time or resources, these may result in a supplementary charge. Where a service is delayed because the customer is not ready, we may charge for idle time or waiting time at the applicable rate.

All payments must be made without deduction, set-off, or counterclaim unless required by law. If payment is not made on time, we may suspend future services, charge lawful interest on overdue sums, and recover reasonable costs associated with collection. Any promotional price or discount applies only to the specific booking and period stated, and may be withdrawn if the terms of the offer are not met.

3. Cancellations, Amendments, and Non-Attendance

The customer may cancel or amend a booking, but notice must be given as early as possible. Depending on the timing of the cancellation and whether any resources have already been allocated, a cancellation fee may apply. Where a deposit has been taken, it may be retained in full or in part to cover administrative costs, reserved vehicle time, staff allocation, or other losses arising from the cancellation. Any non-refundable element will be made clear at the time of booking where practical.

If the customer is not present at the agreed time, fails to provide access, is unable to proceed with the move, or does not have the items ready for collection, we may treat this as a late cancellation or failed attendance. In such cases, the full charge or a reasonable minimum charge may apply. If the service cannot be completed because of circumstances within the customer’s control, the customer remains responsible for any costs already incurred.

If we need to reschedule or cancel due to vehicle breakdown, staff illness, severe weather, safety issues, or other events beyond our reasonable control, we will use reasonable efforts to rearrange the service or refund any sums paid for work not performed. We will not be liable for indirect losses arising from a cancellation or change of date caused by matters outside our control.

4. Service Standards and Customer Responsibilities

We will take reasonable care in providing the service with appropriate skill and attention. However, the customer must prepare items for transport where appropriate, including disconnecting appliances if required, removing personal data, emptying contents from furniture or containers where advised, and ensuring that fragile or valuable items are packed securely. If the customer asks us to carry out packing or wrapping, this will be done only to the extent agreed and on a reasonable-efforts basis unless a higher level of service has been expressly agreed.

The customer must ensure that items are suitable for transport and that any legal, medical, or hazardous restrictions have been disclosed before the job begins. The customer is responsible for informing us about items that may require specialist handling, such as pianos, glass panels, antiques, restricted materials, or unusually heavy objects. If hidden risks are discovered on the day, we may refuse to move the item, request further assistance, or alter the price.

5. Liability and Limitations

We will be responsible for loss or damage caused by our negligence or breach of contract to the extent required by law. However, our liability is limited to the direct loss suffered by the customer and does not extend to indirect, special, or consequential loss, including loss of earnings, missed appointments, loss of business opportunity, or emotional distress, except where such exclusion is not permitted by law.

We are not liable for damage caused by items that are inadequately packed, inherently fragile, defective, or not suitable for transport, unless the damage results directly from our proven negligence. We are also not liable for pre-existing damage, wear and tear, hidden defects, poor access conditions, or damage caused by incorrect instructions from the customer. The customer should inspect property and items before and after the service and notify us of any concerns as soon as reasonably practicable.

Where items are valuable, rare, irreplaceable, or of exceptional importance, the customer should arrange appropriate insurance cover in advance. Unless specifically agreed in writing, we do not provide full replacement-value cover for such items. Any claim for damage or loss must be notified within a reasonable time and supported with evidence such as photographs, receipts, or item descriptions. Failure to notify promptly may affect our ability to investigate the matter fairly.

6. Waste Regulations and Disposal Services

Where we are asked to remove, dispose of, or transport waste, the customer confirms that they have full authority to arrange the disposal of the items concerned and that the items are not subject to any legal restriction preventing collection or disposal. Waste services are provided in accordance with applicable UK waste legislation, including duties relating to lawful transfer, storage, handling, and disposal. We may ask for evidence of what the waste contains before accepting it.

The customer must not include hazardous, illegal, contaminated, or specialist waste unless we have expressly agreed in advance and are lawfully able to handle it. This includes, by way of example, asbestos, chemicals, solvents, clinical waste, gas bottles, pressurised containers, fuel, sharp medical items, and prohibited materials. If such items are discovered after loading, we may refuse to transport them, unload them, charge additional handling costs, or report the matter to the appropriate authority where required by law.

We may issue or retain records relating to waste transfer, collection, or disposal where needed for legal compliance. The customer agrees to provide accurate descriptions of waste and to cooperate with any lawful checks we carry out. If the customer has misdescribed the waste, concealed prohibited items, or requested disposal that would breach regulations, the customer will be responsible for any fines, losses, claims, or costs arising from that breach, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

7. Delays, Access, and Force Majeure

We aim to attend at the agreed time, but arrival windows may be affected by traffic, weather, road closures, breakdowns, or earlier jobs overrunning. Time estimates are therefore approximate unless we have expressly guaranteed a time. The customer should make suitable arrangements for access, parking, lifting space, and building permissions before the service begins. If delays are caused by restrictions at the property or by failure to secure access, any resulting waiting time or return visit may be chargeable.

Neither party will be in breach of these terms if performance is prevented or delayed by events beyond reasonable control, including but not limited to extreme weather, fire, flood, accident, strike, public disruption, lockdown measures, civil unrest, or legal restrictions. If such an event occurs, we may suspend the service, alter the schedule, or cancel the booking without liability for indirect losses. Any refund due will be limited to sums paid for services not performed.

8. Complaints, Claims, and Disputes

If the customer has a complaint, they should notify us as soon as possible so the matter can be reviewed promptly. We may request details, photographs, supporting documents, or access to inspect the affected item or area. We will consider each complaint fairly and aim to resolve genuine issues in a reasonable manner. The customer must take reasonable steps to reduce any loss, such as protecting items from further damage.

Any claim for loss or damage must be made within a reasonable period after the service, and in any event as soon as it could reasonably be discovered. We may refuse claims that are made too late, lack evidence, or relate to items beyond our responsibility. Nothing in these terms prevents either party from seeking to resolve a dispute through negotiation or other lawful alternative dispute resolution methods before starting formal proceedings.
