Terms and Conditions for UK Services

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which our service is provided in the United Kingdom. By making a booking, requesting work, or confirming an order, you agree to be bound by the terms below. Please read them carefully before proceeding. They are intended to explain the service agreement in clear language, including how bookings are made, when payment is due, how cancellations are handled, and what responsibilities apply in relation to waste, liability, and legal compliance. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer where applicable.

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to the service provider, and “you” refers to the customer or business placing the booking. The terms may apply to a one-off service, repeat work, scheduled appointments, or any other service arrangement we accept in writing or by other clear confirmation. If any part of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply.

These terms are designed for a UK service agreement and should be read alongside any written quotation, order confirmation, or service specification provided before the work begins. In the event of a conflict, the service-specific written confirmation will take priority over general wording in these Terms and Conditions, unless a mandatory legal requirement says otherwise.

A booking may be made by telephone, email, written instruction, online form, or any other method we make available. A booking is not final until we have accepted it and issued confirmation. Acceptance may depend on service availability, location, access, the nature of the work, and the information you provide. We may refuse a booking if we reasonably believe the work cannot be carried out safely, lawfully, or within the agreed scope.

When requesting a booking, you must provide accurate and complete information, including the type of service required, the site address, access conditions, relevant time restrictions, and any known hazards. If you provide incomplete or incorrect information, we may need to change the appointment time, amend the price, suspend the service, or cancel the booking. You are responsible for ensuring that the person placing the booking has authority to do so on your behalf.

Any dates or time windows we give are estimates unless we expressly confirm otherwise. We will use reasonable efforts to attend within the agreed period, but delays may occur due to traffic, weather, operational issues, equipment failure, or circumstances beyond our control. If access is not available when we arrive, or if the site is unsafe, we may treat the appointment as a failed visit and charge a reasonable fee for wasted attendance where permitted by law.

The service we provide will be limited to the scope agreed at the time of booking or as subsequently confirmed in writing. Any additional tasks, variations, or extra materials requested on the day may result in an amended price and revised completion time. We are not obliged to carry out work that falls outside the agreed scope unless we choose to do so and you agree to the extra cost.

You must ensure that the site or premises are ready for the service to be carried out. This includes providing safe access, suitable working conditions, and any required permissions from landlords, managing agents, neighbours, or other relevant parties. Where the service requires power, water, parking, lifting assistance, or other support, you are responsible for making these arrangements unless we have agreed in writing to provide them.

You must also inform us in advance of any condition that may affect the work, including fragile items, asbestos risk, structural concerns, hazardous substances, restricted parking, pets, security systems, or vulnerable persons present at the site. We may pause or withdraw from the service if the environment becomes unsafe or if the conditions materially differ from those described at the time of booking.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, prices are stated in pounds sterling and may be subject to VAT where applicable. Payment terms will be set out in the quote, invoice, or booking confirmation. We may require a deposit, partial advance payment, or full payment before work begins, especially for larger, bespoke, repeat, or scheduled services. A deposit is usually non-refundable except where required by law or where we cancel the booking without cause.

Where payment is due on completion, you must pay immediately unless a credit arrangement has been expressly agreed. Invoices must be paid within the stated period, and we reserve the right to charge statutory interest and reasonable recovery costs on overdue sums. We may also suspend further services, withhold deliverables where lawful, or cancel future bookings if any payment remains outstanding.

If the service requires materials, third-party fees, permits, parking charges, disposal costs, or other incidental expenses, these may be charged separately if they were not already included in the quoted price. Any estimate provided before inspection is based on the information available at the time and may change if hidden issues, extra labour, or altered requirements arise. Any revised charge will be communicated before additional work proceeds where reasonably practicable.

You may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving us notice within the period stated in your confirmation. If no period is stated, reasonable notice should be provided. For consumer bookings, any cancellation rights under applicable distance selling or consumer law will apply where relevant, subject to any legal exceptions for services already started at your request. If you ask us to begin work during the cancellation period, you may lose the right to cancel once the service has been fully performed.

If you cancel after we have committed resources, ordered materials, allocated staff, or reserved time specifically for your booking, we may retain all or part of any deposit or charge a cancellation fee that reflects our reasonable losses. We will not charge more than is fair and proportionate. Where we cancel due to our own operational reasons, we will either reschedule the service or refund any prepaid amount for the cancelled portion.

If we attend a booking and cannot complete the service because you are absent, have not provided access, or have failed to prepare the site as agreed, this may be treated as a no-show or failed visit. In such cases, we may charge a call-out fee, wasted attendance fee, or other reasonable amount to cover costs incurred, unless the failure is due to our own fault or a matter outside your control that we agree justifies a waiver.

We will carry out the service with reasonable care and skill. However, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for losses caused by inaccurate information supplied by you, unsuitable site conditions, pre-existing defects, misuse of the service results, or failure to follow our instructions. Any recommendation we make is based on the information available at the time and should not be treated as a guarantee of outcome unless we expressly say so in writing.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under UK law. Subject to that, our total liability arising from or in connection with the service, whether in contract, tort, negligence, breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, will be limited to the amount paid or payable for the specific service giving rise to the claim, unless a different limit is required by law.

We are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses, including loss of profit, loss of opportunity, loss of business, or loss of goodwill, where exclusion of such loss is lawful. If a claim arises, you must take reasonable steps to reduce your loss and notify us as soon as reasonably possible. Any failure to do so may affect the amount recoverable. The limitations in this section are intended to be fair and proportionate to the nature of the service.

Where the service involves removal, handling, transport, or disposal of waste, all parties must comply with applicable UK waste regulations and environmental requirements. Waste must be described accurately at the time of booking, especially if it includes bulky items, mixed loads, electrical equipment, sharps, hazardous substances, contaminated materials, or anything requiring specialist handling. If waste is misdescribed, we may refuse collection, revise the price, or require additional arrangements.

You are responsible for ensuring that any waste presented for collection is lawful to remove and does not contain prohibited or undeclared hazardous materials unless we have expressly agreed to handle such materials under the relevant legal controls. We may request additional information, segregation, packaging, or documentation before accepting waste. We reserve the right to reject any waste that would expose us to legal, environmental, health, or safety risk.

Where required, waste will be transported and disposed of through appropriate licensed or authorised channels. You may be asked to sign a transfer note, declaration, or acceptance record. Title and responsibility for waste may transfer at different points depending on the nature of the service and the law applicable to that waste stream. If any improper disposal, contamination, or regulatory issue arises because of inaccurate customer information, you may be responsible for the associated costs, fines, or clean-up expenses where permitted by law.

We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform the service where that delay or failure is caused by events beyond our reasonable control. Such events may include severe weather, accidents, transport disruption, industrial action, supply shortages, emergency incidents, disease outbreaks, government action, or failures of third-party utilities or systems. If a force majeure event occurs, we may postpone the booking, modify the service date, or cancel affected work without liability for indirect loss.

We may make reasonable changes to the service if necessary for safety, legal compliance, or practical delivery, provided the changes do not materially reduce the overall nature of the service without your agreement. Where a material change is needed, we will explain the reason and, where possible, offer an alternative. If you do not accept a necessary material change, either party may cancel the affected part of the booking with a fair adjustment to any sums paid.

We may also update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. The version in force at the time your booking is accepted will normally apply to that booking, unless a change is required by law or you agree otherwise. Updated terms will not ordinarily alter a completed booking retrospectively. It is your responsibility to review the latest terms before placing a new booking.

These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising from them or the service they govern, are subject to the laws of England and Wales, unless another part of the United Kingdom has mandatory legal rules that apply by law to your specific booking. The courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction unless statute provides otherwise. If you are a consumer, you may have additional legal rights based on your place of residence and the nature of the service.

Before starting formal proceedings, the parties should try to resolve any dispute in good faith. You should notify us of the issue and allow a reasonable opportunity to investigate and respond. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, either party may use the courts or any other lawful dispute resolution method available. Any failure by us to enforce a right immediately does not mean that right is waived for the future.

General provision: If any clause in these service terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that clause will be read down to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest of the agreement will remain effective. No person other than the parties to the booking shall have any right to enforce any term unless permitted by law. These Terms and Conditions are intended to create a fair, clear, and legally robust framework for service delivery in the UK.

Final statement: By proceeding with a booking, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and Conditions and that you are authorised to enter into the agreement on behalf of yourself or the business you represent. Where a service is booked on behalf of another person, you agree that the information supplied is accurate and that any obligations set out here will be observed by all relevant parties involved in the booking.

Last paragraph: These terms aim to support a professional, lawful, and transparent service relationship, while balancing the practical needs of the customer and the service provider. If a specific service instruction, quotation, or written contract says something different from these general terms, the specific wording will normally apply to the extent of any inconsistency. Use of the service constitutes acceptance of the terms in force at the time of booking.
