Terms and Conditions for Removals Marylebone

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Removals Marylebone provides domestic and commercial moving services in the UK. They apply to quotations, bookings, collections, deliveries, storage handling where agreed, and any related packing or transport services supplied by us. By confirming a booking, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms, together with any written quotation, service specification, or agreed amendments. The purpose of these terms is to create a clear, fair, and practical framework for both parties, so expectations are understood before the move begins.

Throughout this document, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the removal service provider, and “you” or “the customer” means the person or business requesting the service. The phrase Marylebone removals may be used for branding or descriptive purposes, but these terms apply in the same way regardless of the size, distance, or complexity of the move. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights under UK consumer law.

If any part of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. Any variation to these terms must be agreed in writing. We may update these terms from time to time, and the version in force at the time of booking will apply unless otherwise stated. Please read the entire document carefully before confirming a removals service.

Booking Process

A booking is normally made after we have received details of the move, including the pickup and delivery addresses, approximate volume of items, access conditions, preferred dates, and any specialist requirements. A quotation may be provided as a fixed price, hourly rate, or estimated charge depending on the information supplied. Where a quote is based on incomplete or inaccurate information, we reserve the right to revise the price if the actual service required is materially different from what was described.

To secure a booking, you may be asked to confirm acceptance of the quotation in writing and provide a deposit or other advance payment if required. The booking is not guaranteed until we have issued confirmation. We may request identification, inventory details, parking or access information, and any relevant restrictions that could affect the move. It is your responsibility to ensure all details provided to us are correct and complete. If our team is prevented from carrying out the work because key information was omitted or misrepresented, additional charges may apply.

We aim to carry out removal services in Marylebone on the date agreed, but all dates remain subject to availability and operational conditions. If the service requires parking permits, lift access, building permissions, or time restrictions, these must be arranged in advance unless we specifically agree otherwise. Delays caused by access issues, traffic restrictions, waiting time, or customer readiness may affect the schedule and may be charged if beyond the agreed allowance. The customer must ensure that all items to be moved are ready for loading at the agreed start time.

Payments

Payment terms will be stated in the quotation or booking confirmation. Unless agreed otherwise, payment is due in full on completion of the service. For longer jobs, multi-day moves, or specialist projects, we may require a deposit, staged payments, or payment in advance for part of the service. We accept payment by the methods specified at the time of booking, and we reserve the right to refuse cash or other forms of payment not previously agreed. Any bank or card fees charged by third-party providers remain your responsibility where permitted by law.

The quoted price normally covers the service described in writing, including labour, vehicle use, and standard handling of items, but it does not automatically include packing materials, dismantling, reassembly, storage, congestion fees, parking penalties, or waiting time unless expressly stated. If additional work is requested during the move, we may issue a revised charge based on the additional time, labour, or materials required. For hourly services, time is usually calculated from the agreed start time or from arrival at the first address, depending on the quotation terms.

If payment is late or fails, we may charge interest and recovery costs to the extent allowed by law. We may also suspend or refuse further work until outstanding amounts are settled. Title to any goods we supply, such as packing materials, remains with us until paid for in full where applicable. You must not withhold payment on the basis of a claim unless a court or agreed dispute process has confirmed such a deduction. All prices are quoted in pounds sterling unless stated otherwise.

Cancellations and Rescheduling

If you need to cancel or reschedule, you must notify us as soon as reasonably possible. Cancellation charges may apply depending on how much notice is given and whether resources have already been allocated. Where a deposit has been taken, it may be non-refundable in whole or part if the cancellation occurs close to the moving date or if we have incurred costs that cannot be recovered. The exact charge will depend on the nature of the booking and any terms stated in the quotation.

We may cancel or reschedule the service if circumstances beyond our reasonable control prevent us from performing the work safely or lawfully, including severe weather, accidents, vehicle breakdown, staff illness, road closures, or access restrictions imposed by third parties. If we must cancel, we will use reasonable efforts to offer an alternative date. Our liability for cancellation caused by events beyond our control is limited to refunding any amount paid for the portion of service not provided, unless otherwise required by law.

If you are not present, not ready, or unable to authorise the move at the agreed time, we may treat this as a late cancellation or wasted attendance and charge accordingly. Changes to the scope of the work, such as adding rooms, extra floors, or additional items after booking, may also affect pricing and timing. To avoid misunderstanding, any cancellation or rescheduling request should be confirmed in writing whenever possible.

Liability and Care of Goods

We will take reasonable care when handling your belongings, using competent staff and appropriate equipment. However, removals involve moving heavy, fragile, and sometimes poorly packed items, so certain risks cannot be entirely eliminated. You are responsible for ensuring that items are suitably packed unless we have agreed to pack them for you. Fragile goods, electronics, glass, ornaments, artwork, and disassembled furniture should be packed or protected to a standard appropriate for transport.

Unless we have agreed to provide a specialist packing service, we are not liable for damage caused by inadequate packing, pre-existing weakness, wear and tear, hidden defects, or items that are inherently unstable. We are also not responsible for damage to loose fittings, unsecured items, or goods that were not disclosed to us before the move. Where we do pack items, liability will be assessed according to the circumstances of the incident and any applicable insurance cover or legal limitation.

If any item is lost or damaged due to our proven negligence, our liability may be limited to repair, replacement, or a reasonable cash settlement, subject to any insurance arrangements and the limits stated in the quotation. We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded under UK law. Claims must be reported as soon as reasonably practicable and, where possible, before the job is signed off.

We are not liable for delays, loss, or damage caused by events outside our control, including but not limited to adverse weather, civil unrest, fire, flood, or actions of public authorities. Any estimate of delivery time is made in good faith but is not a guarantee unless expressly stated. You must inspect your goods promptly upon delivery and note any concerns at the time of completion where reasonably possible. Failure to do so may affect the handling of a claim, although it does not remove your legal rights.

Waste Regulations and Disposal

If the service includes removal of unwanted items, packaging waste, or rubbish, all disposal must comply with UK waste regulations. We will only remove waste that has been agreed in advance and lawfully classified for collection. You must not ask us to remove hazardous, prohibited, or controlled waste unless we have expressly agreed to do so and confirmed the legal and operational arrangements. This includes, without limitation, chemicals, asbestos, medical waste, pressurised containers, and other regulated materials.

Where we arrange disposal, waste may be transferred only to licensed facilities or handled by authorised carriers in accordance with applicable legislation. Ownership of waste passes to us only where the service has been agreed as part of the booking and the items are accepted for removal. You must disclose any potential hazards, contamination, or special handling requirements before collection. If undisclosed waste creates a legal or safety risk, we may refuse to remove it and may charge for any wasted attendance or additional protective measures required.

You remain responsible for ensuring that the items you ask us to remove are yours to dispose of and that no third-party rights are infringed. If you leave goods outside for collection, you must ensure they do not pose a nuisance, obstruction, or safety issue. We may decline to handle any waste that could expose our staff, vehicles, or business to regulatory risk. Where applicable, documentation relating to waste transfer may be issued or retained in line with legal requirements.

Customer Responsibilities

You must ensure that the property is ready for access on the agreed date and that pathways, stairs, lifts, and loading areas are reasonably clear. Appliances should be disconnected safely in advance unless we have agreed to do so as part of the service. Any pets, children, or vulnerable persons should be supervised appropriately during the move. You must also secure cash, jewellery, passports, and other high-value or personal items, as these should normally be moved by you rather than loaded with the main shipment.

It is your responsibility to provide accurate details about item weight, dimensions, special handling needs, and any access difficulties. If there are items that require dismantling, hoisting, crating, or special lifting equipment, these should be disclosed before the booking is confirmed. A failure to disclose such information may lead to delays, price changes, or refusal to move certain items for safety reasons. We may refuse to transport goods that are unsafe, illegal, or unsuitable for the vehicle or premises involved.

Insurance and Claims

We may hold relevant insurance cover appropriate to the services we provide, but the exact scope of cover can vary depending on the booking type and any conditions stated in the quotation. Insurance is not a substitute for proper packing and disclosure. If you wish to make a claim, you must provide clear details of the alleged loss or damage, including supporting evidence where available, within a reasonable period and in accordance with any claim procedure we notify you of. We may require photographs, inventories, and proof of value.

Any settlement offered will take account of the nature of the item, the age and condition of the goods, and the circumstances of the incident. We will not be responsible for sentimental value, indirect loss, loss of profits, missed deadlines, or other consequential losses, except where required by law. Nothing in these terms reduces your rights to claim where a statutory remedy applies. If multiple items are involved, claims may be assessed individually rather than as a single total figure.

General Provisions

We may subcontract part of the service where necessary, provided that we remain responsible for the performance of the agreed work in accordance with these terms. Any person acting on our behalf must comply with the standards and obligations set out here. If you transfer or assign your rights under the booking to another person, you must obtain our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations where this does not materially affect your service rights.

Failure by us to enforce any provision at any time does not mean we waive that provision in future. Headings are included for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. References to legislation include amendments and re-enactments. If there is any conflict between these terms and a separate written agreement, the separate written agreement will prevail to the extent of the conflict. Each clause operates independently where possible.

These terms form the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the service described, unless a written variation has been agreed. Any notices required under these terms should be provided in a durable written form. Spoken promises or informal assurances will not alter the contract unless confirmed in writing by an authorised representative. We recommend that you keep a copy of the quotation and confirmation for your records.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Where the customer is based in Scotland or Northern Ireland, mandatory consumer rights or local legal rules may continue to apply to the extent required by law, but the governing law of the contract will remain as stated above unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Any dispute that cannot be resolved amicably should be submitted to the courts of England and Wales, which will have non-exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any legal rights that prevent this arrangement from limiting a consumer’s access to justice. If any provision of these terms is found unlawful or unenforceable, it shall be severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remainder of the agreement shall continue in force.

By proceeding with a booking for Removals Marylebone, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted these service terms. These conditions are designed to protect both the customer and the removal provider while keeping the moving process as clear and predictable as possible. If a situation arises that is not expressly covered, it will be handled reasonably, in good faith, and in line with applicable UK law.
