These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Man With Van Finsbury Park provides domestic and commercial transport, loading, unloading, and related removal services within the UK. By making a booking, the customer agrees to read, understand, and accept these terms in full. They are designed to create a clear, fair, and professional framework for both parties, covering the booking process, payment obligations, cancellations, liability, waste handling, and the law that applies to the agreement.

Throughout this document, references to “we,” “us,” and “our” mean the service provider operating the van and manpower service. References to “you” and “the customer” mean the person, business, or organisation requesting the service. These terms apply to all bookings unless we have confirmed a different arrangement in writing. Any special requests, access limitations, parking restrictions, or time-sensitive requirements should be disclosed in advance so that the service can be delivered safely and efficiently.

A man with van Finsbury Park service may be used for a wide range of transport tasks, including single-item moves, light removals, furniture delivery, student moves, office transfers, and general load-and-carry work. However, all services remain subject to availability, vehicle capacity, safe loading limits, lawful access, and reasonable operational conditions. We reserve the right to refuse any booking that would require unlawful conduct, unsafe handling, or work outside the agreed scope.

1. Booking Process

Bookings may be made by telephone, email, online form, messaging service, or any other method we make available. A booking is not confirmed until we have accepted it and, where required, received any agreed deposit or pre-authorisation. A quotation may be given on the basis of information supplied by you, including the number of items, collection and delivery addresses, access conditions, floor levels, and any requirement for additional helpers or vehicle size. If the information provided is incomplete or inaccurate, the final price may change to reflect the actual work required.

We may ask for details such as item dimensions, special handling instructions, assembly or disassembly requirements, whether parking is restricted, and whether lift access is available. The customer is responsible for ensuring that all relevant details are correct and complete. If the job changes materially on the day of collection, we may revise the estimate, reschedule the booking, or decline to proceed if the revised task cannot be completed safely or within the originally agreed scope.

2. Service Standards and Customer Responsibilities

We will use reasonable care and skill in providing the service, and we will aim to arrive within the agreed time window. However, times are estimates rather than guarantees, and delays may occur due to traffic, weather, prior job overruns, vehicle issues, parking difficulties, or circumstances beyond our control. The customer must ensure that goods are ready for collection, properly packed where appropriate, and accessible at the agreed time. If the service cannot be completed because items are not ready, access is blocked, or no authorised person is present, waiting charges or cancellation fees may apply.

The customer must also make sure that any item offered for transport is legal to move and may be handled without risk to people or property. You must inform us in advance if any items are fragile, high value, heavy, unusually shaped, or require special lifting equipment. Unless specifically agreed, we do not provide specialist packing, temperature-controlled transport, or the movement of hazardous materials. Our team may refuse to lift or transport an item that they reasonably believe poses a health and safety risk.

3. Payments and Charges

Charges may be calculated on the basis of time, vehicle size, mileage, number of staff, waiting time, congestion, parking charges, tolls, and any additional services requested by the customer. We may provide a fixed quote or an estimated price. Where a quote is based on assumptions later found to be incorrect, we may apply additional charges that are reasonable and proportionate to the actual work carried out. Any agreed deposit is normally non-refundable unless stated otherwise in writing.

Payment must be made in the method and within the timeframe agreed at the time of booking. We may accept bank transfer, card payment, or cash, but the available methods may vary by job. Unless otherwise agreed, payment is due on completion of the service or immediately after delivery. If payment is not received on time, we reserve the right to suspend future services, charge reasonable recovery costs, and recover any outstanding sum through lawful means.

Where a customer requests extra work on the day, such as additional stops, stairs-only access, extended loading time, dismantling, or disposal of unwanted items, these may be charged separately. The customer agrees that any waiting time caused by delays outside our control may also be billed. If parking fines, access penalties, or tolls are incurred because of the customer’s instructions, incorrect information, or failure to arrange suitable access, those costs may be passed on to the customer where lawful.

4. Cancellations, Amendments, and No-Shows

If you need to cancel or amend a booking, you should notify us as soon as possible. Cancellations made with sufficient notice may be eligible for a partial refund, depending on the amount of preparation already undertaken and any third-party costs incurred. Short-notice cancellations may attract a fee, particularly where the vehicle, staff, or time slot has been reserved exclusively for your booking. Deposits may be retained to cover administrative costs, lost time, and scheduling loss.

If the customer is not present at the agreed time, cannot be contacted, fails to provide access, or refuses to proceed after the team has arrived, the booking may be treated as a no-show. In such cases, the full fee or a minimum call-out charge may apply. If we need to cancel or reschedule due to operational reasons, we will aim to give reasonable notice and offer a new time slot where possible. We are not liable for losses arising from delays or cancellations caused by events beyond our reasonable control.

5. Liability, Risk, and Damage

We take reasonable care when handling goods, but liability is limited to losses caused by our proven negligence. We are not responsible for pre-existing damage, items that were improperly packed, hidden defects, or damage caused by unsuitable access, unstable loading, or the natural condition of the item. You should tell us about any item that is especially delicate, valuable, sentimental, or difficult to replace. Where additional protection is required, it should be arranged before the job begins.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, we do not accept responsibility for indirect loss, consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of earnings, missed appointments, or emotional distress. Any claim must be reported promptly and, where relevant, supported by photographs and reasonable evidence. Our total liability for any one claim will not exceed the amount paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim, except where the law states otherwise. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

The customer is responsible for ensuring that buildings, stairways, lifts, pathways, and loading areas are safe and suitable for the work. If we reasonably believe that continuing would endanger our staff, your property, or third parties, we may stop or modify the service without liability. You agree to indemnify us for losses arising from inaccurate information, unlawful instructions, or failure to secure appropriate permissions for access or parking.

6. Waste, Disposal, and Environmental Compliance

Where our service includes removal of unwanted items, the customer must not present hazardous waste, clinical waste, asbestos, chemicals, gas bottles, paint, oils, batteries, electrical waste requiring special handling, or any other controlled material unless we have expressly agreed in advance and are legally able to transport it. The customer remains responsible for declaring the nature of all waste items before collection. If prohibited waste is discovered, we may refuse to load it or may leave the item at the collection point at the customer’s risk and cost.

Waste must be handled in accordance with applicable UK waste regulations, including duty-of-care requirements and lawful transfer arrangements. Where waste removal is provided, the customer agrees that we may deliver the waste only to authorised facilities and in a compliant manner. You must not ask us to dispose of items illegally, abandon waste, or use the service to evade environmental obligations. Any fines, costs, or enforcement action arising from misleading waste descriptions or unlawful instructions may be recovered from the customer where permitted by law.

If items are mixed with waste, recyclable goods, or personal belongings, the customer must clearly indicate what is to be removed and what is to be retained. We are not responsible for sorting mixed waste unless sorting has been agreed as part of the service. Items left behind after a move or disposal job may be treated as abandoned only where the law allows and after reasonable notice, but we may also charge for storage, return, or further handling if retrieval is requested later.

7. Access, Parking, and Site Conditions

The customer is responsible for arranging practical access to both collection and delivery locations, including parking permissions, entry codes, concierge approval, permits, and any building notices required. If parking is unavailable, restricted, or subject to loading limits, the customer should warn us in advance. Any fees incurred for parking, loading zones, permits, or site access may be added to the invoice if they are necessary to complete the work. We may also charge for additional walking distance where the vehicle cannot park close to the premises.

Where there are stairs, narrow corridors, low ceilings, no lift access, or other access limitations, the customer must disclose these in advance. We may refuse to move items that cannot be safely carried through the available route. The customer should also ensure that fragile surfaces, carpets, flooring, walls, and fixtures are adequately protected where necessary. We are not liable for minor cosmetic marks arising from ordinary and careful handling, provided that reasonable care has been taken.

We may use subcontractors or additional staff where required to perform the service efficiently. Any subcontractor working on our behalf will be expected to follow these terms so far as applicable. If a third party causes damage or delay outside our control, we will help where reasonable but are not responsible beyond the extent required by law or our own direct negligence.

8. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms and Conditions and any dispute or claim arising from them shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The parties agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where consumer law provides otherwise. If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

We aim to deal with any issue promptly and fairly. If a disagreement arises, the customer should raise it as soon as reasonably possible so that the matter can be reviewed while the facts are fresh. Any informal resolution we offer is without prejudice and does not limit our rights under these terms or under the law. No waiver of a right or remedy will be effective unless agreed in writing.

By booking a man and van Finsbury Park service, you confirm that you have read these Terms and Conditions, understand the responsibilities placed on both parties, and agree to be bound by them. If you do not accept any part of these terms, you should not proceed with a booking. These terms form the entire agreement between the customer and the service provider for the relevant job unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing.
