Terms & Conditions
These conditions set out the rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Remover (‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’) and the Customer (‘you’ or ‘your’). These terms and
conditions can only be changed with the prior written agreement of both the Remover and the Customer. It is important that you read them carefully.
Quotation
Our quotation is an inclusive price. This includes fixed prices and hourly rates where applicable.
Any claims must be made WITHIN SEVEN DAYS (this is a requirement of insurers) of either their collection by you or delivery by us to their destination, unless you request a reasonable extension which we agree in writing.
We may choose to repair or replace the damaged or lost item. However if we choose to repair the item we will not be liable for depreciation of the item,
In the event that we lose or damage your goods, if we are liable, we will pay you up to a maximum of £50.00 sterling for each item which is lost or damaged, to cover the cost of repairing or replacing that item. Where proof cannot be ascertained we reserve the right to take a reasonable view to put you back in the position we think you were. In this respect an item is defined as any one article, suite, pair, set, complete case, package, carton, box or other container, unless inventory with values is supplied. Boxed items are limited to the box so if you have in excess of £50 in a box you are not properly insured from damage. In this event before you book call the office on 0800 695 7987 so we can provide you with the service your require.
Your Responsibilities
You must:-
(a) Declare in writing to us the value of the goods being removed (unless you elect for our standard liability which is limited to £50

(h) If you have elected to pack yourself then all packing is to be completed by the time of commencement of the move. If this has not happened and it
adds unforeseen time to the move then extra charges will apply pro rata to price quoted. This is calculated by taking the price quoted, dividing it by 8
standard working hours which gives our hourly rate (e.g. £840 ÷ 8 = £105 per hour).
(i) Empty, defrost and clean refrigerators and freezing equipment.
(j) Ensure lamps, lampshades, bulbs, vases, statues, pictures and mirrors are suitably protected for safe transportation.
