Terms and Conditions for Movers Brixton

These Terms and Conditions govern the provision of moving, removals, and related support services supplied by Movers Brixton (referred to as “we”, “us”, or “our”). By requesting a quotation, confirming a booking, or allowing our team to begin work, the customer (“you” or “the customer”) agrees to be bound by these terms. They apply to domestic and commercial relocations, packing assistance, loading and unloading, furniture handling, storage-related support where agreed, and the removal or disposal of waste items where such service is expressly included. These terms are intended to set out a clear legal framework for a removals service provided in the UK, and should be read carefully before any booking is accepted.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the contract is formed only when we confirm your booking after receiving accurate details about the job. Any estimate, quotation, or availability check issued before that point is not a binding offer. We reserve the right to revise pricing, timing, staffing, or equipment requirements if the information originally supplied is incomplete, misleading, or materially changes before the moving date. The customer is responsible for ensuring that all instructions, access details, inventory information, and special handling requirements are correct and up to date.

In these terms, references to a “move” or “removal” include all work undertaken by Movers Brixton in connection with transporting goods from one location to another, whether using one vehicle or more, with or without packing materials, dismantling, reassembly, or waste removal. Where the customer asks for additional services outside the original scope, those services may be provided at our discretion and may be subject to extra charges. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer where applicable.

Booking process. A booking may begin with an enquiry, followed by a quotation based on the information provided by the customer. We may request photographs, lists of items, floor access details, parking arrangements, and any relevant notes about heavy, fragile, bulky, or hazardous goods. Once the customer accepts the quote and we send a written confirmation, the booking is secured subject to payment terms and the accuracy of the information supplied. We may decline or amend a booking if the job appears unsafe, unlawful, or materially different from the description originally provided.

It is your responsibility to check all booking details carefully, including date, time, addresses, access arrangements, and any requested services. If you need to make changes, you must notify us as early as possible. We will use reasonable efforts to accommodate changes, but we cannot guarantee availability for amended dates or revised service requests. Where a move requires specific equipment, multiple operatives, or additional time, we may update the quotation before the work starts. Confirmation by email, message, or written agreement may be relied on as evidence of the contract.

On the day of the move, you or an authorised representative must be present, or otherwise available, to give instructions and approve decisions where required. If no suitable person is available, we may delay the service, complete it using reasonable judgement, or suspend the work until instructions are received. Delays caused by missing access, incorrect addresses, unprepared items, or unavailable decision-makers may be charged as waiting time or additional labour. If we arrive and cannot begin because of circumstances outside our control, the booking may still be treated as a same-day cancellation.

Payments. Unless otherwise stated in your quotation, payment is due in full on completion of the service. For certain bookings, we may request a deposit, partial advance payment, or card pre-authorisation to secure the slot. Accepted payment methods may include bank transfer, card payment, cash where permitted, or other methods confirmed in writing. All prices are quoted in pounds sterling and, where applicable, may be subject to VAT or other taxes clearly shown on the invoice. If the quotation is based on estimated time, any additional hours or resources required will be charged at the applicable rate.

Invoices must be paid without deduction or set-off unless required by law. If payment is not received on time, we reserve the right to charge interest and reasonable recovery costs to the extent permitted by the Late Payment of Commercial Debts legislation or other applicable law. Where a customer is acting in the course of business, additional commercial terms may apply. We may also suspend or refuse further services until all outstanding amounts have been settled. Any discount, promotional rate, or special offer applies only to the specific booking for which it was granted.

Extra charges may arise where the service is extended beyond the originally booked scope, including but not limited to additional waiting time, stair carries, difficult access, failed parking arrangements, long carries, congestion, rebooking after a customer delay, or the need to handle items not disclosed in advance. Such charges will be calculated fairly and in line with the information available at the time. If you dispute an invoice, you must notify us promptly and provide full reasons and supporting details.

Cancellations or postponements must be made as soon as possible. Unless a different arrangement is confirmed in writing, cancellation charges may apply where notice is short, where vehicles or staff have already been allocated, or where the work cannot be rescheduled. If the customer cancels after the team has departed, or on arrival at the site, the full or partial booking fee may remain payable. Any deposit paid may be retained to cover administration, lost time, and reserved capacity, to the extent permitted by law.

If we need to postpone or cancel due to severe weather, unsafe conditions, vehicle breakdown, staff illness, traffic disruption, or any event outside our reasonable control, we will aim to offer an alternative date or time. We are not liable for indirect losses arising from such changes, although we will act reasonably and communicate any disruption as soon as practical. Force majeure events include, without limitation, acts of God, fire, flood, strikes, war, civil unrest, accidents, road closures, or failures of utilities or third-party services.

Customers must ensure that all items are suitably packed, labelled, and ready for transport unless packing services are included in the booking. Fragile goods should be protected to a standard appropriate for transit, and the customer should remove perishable foods, plants, valuables, medicines, confidential documents, and prohibited items before the move. We are not responsible for goods left unattended, unattended keys, or items not listed in the agreed inventory where a written inventory was prepared. If you are unsure whether an item is suitable for transport, you must ask in advance and obtain written confirmation before the move begins.

Liability and limitations. We will exercise reasonable care and skill in carrying out the service. If damage is caused directly by our negligence, we will consider a claim in accordance with these terms and any applicable insurance arrangements. Our liability may be limited to repair, replacement, or the reasonable cost of remedying the loss, subject to the nature of the item, proof of value, and any exclusions below. 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.

We are not liable for loss or damage arising from ordinary wear and tear, pre-existing defects, inadequate packaging by the customer, concealed weaknesses in furniture or fittings, or items that were unstable, improperly assembled, or unsuitable for transport. We are also not responsible for loss of earnings, missed appointments, business interruption, loss of profit, or any indirect or consequential loss unless required by law. Where a claim is permitted, you must notify us promptly and provide evidence, including photographs, purchase details where available, and a description of how the damage occurred.

The customer remains responsible for securing the premises, obtaining access permissions, arranging parking permissions where necessary, and ensuring that the property is safe for our team to work in. We may refuse to move items if we believe they are unsafe, excessively heavy without proper equipment, contaminated, infested, leaking, illegal to transport, or otherwise inappropriate. If we agree to move such items, this does not waive our right to limit liability in accordance with these terms. Any claim must be submitted within a reasonable time after the service, and in all cases as soon as practicable.

Where waste removal, clearance, or disposal is included in the service, the customer agrees that only lawful waste will be handed over for collection and that the waste is accurately described. We may refuse to collect hazardous, clinical, chemical, asbestos-related, pressurised, or otherwise restricted materials unless we have expressly agreed in writing and are legally permitted to handle them. The customer must disclose any waste that may require special treatment, segregation, or licensed disposal. Failure to disclose such items may result in refusal of service and additional charges.

We will deal with waste in accordance with applicable UK waste legislation, including requirements relating to duty of care, carrier obligations, and lawful transfer to authorised facilities or contractors. The customer must not ask us to dispose of items in a way that breaches environmental law or any local authority rules. Waste transfer documentation may be required, and by instructing us to remove waste you confirm that you have the right to transfer it and that it does not contain prohibited substances or materials. We reserve the right to inspect items before disposal and to decline any collection that may create legal or safety risks.

If waste is mixed with items that should be retained, separated, or recycled, we may charge for sorting time or refuse the collection until the matter is clarified. We may also charge for disposal costs, recycling fees, or special handling fees where these apply. The customer acknowledges that once lawful disposal has been completed, items may not be recovered. Accordingly, you should remove any items you wish to keep before the waste removal service begins.

All timeframes provided by Movers Brixton are estimates unless we expressly state that a specific completion time is guaranteed in writing. We will use reasonable efforts to meet estimated schedules, but delays may occur due to traffic, loading complexity, access problems, or circumstances beyond our control. If a delay occurs, we will keep the customer informed where practical. We may subcontract part or all of the service to competent third parties, but we remain responsible for the performance of the contract subject to these terms and any legal limits that apply.

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. The version in force at the time of your booking will apply unless a change is required by law or agreed in writing. If any part of these terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. No failure or delay by us in enforcing any right shall operate as a waiver of that right. These terms form the complete agreement between the parties in relation to the services described.

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any dispute arising from or in connection with them shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. If you are a consumer resident in another part of the UK, any mandatory consumer protections of your local jurisdiction may still apply where required by law. By proceeding with a booking, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms, and that they define the basis on which Movers Brixton provides its removal services.
