Terms and Conditions for UK Services
These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which our UK service is provided to you. By making a booking, you agree to be bound by these terms, which are designed to create a clear understanding of the service scope, payment obligations, cancellation rights, liability limits, and waste handling responsibilities. These terms apply to all bookings, whether made by phone, email, online form, or any other approved method.
In these service terms, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the service provider, and references to “you” and “your” mean the customer, client, or person making the booking. If you are booking on behalf of another person or business, you confirm that you have authority to do so and that they agree to these terms as well. The wording in this document is intended to be general and commercially practical, while remaining suitable for a UK-based services page.
These terms of service apply alongside any written quote, order confirmation, or service specification we issue. If there is any conflict between this document and a specific written agreement, the specific written agreement will take priority to the extent of the conflict. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, no additional terms supplied by you will apply.
Booking is only confirmed once we accept your request and issue a confirmation. A quotation, estimate, or availability check does not itself create a binding contract. We may decline a booking at our discretion where we are unable to provide the requested service, where information provided is incomplete or inaccurate, or where carrying out the work would be unsafe, unlawful, or impractical. We may also require photographs, measurements, access details, or other relevant information before confirming the booking.
When you make a booking, you agree to provide accurate and complete information about the premises, the work required, access conditions, parking arrangements, parking restrictions, hazards, and any other matters likely to affect the service. If the information you provide is incorrect or changes before the appointment, we may adjust the price, time, equipment, or personnel required. In some cases, we may need to reschedule or cancel the service if the actual conditions differ materially from those described at the time of booking.
You are responsible for ensuring that the service location is accessible and ready for the agreed work to begin at the appointed time. This includes arranging entry, clearing necessary spaces, securing pets where relevant, and ensuring that any required permissions have been obtained. Delays caused by late access, missed appointments, or inaccurate information may be charged at our standard waiting or attendance rate, where applicable.
Payments must be made in accordance with the payment terms set out in the quotation, invoice, or booking confirmation. Unless stated otherwise, prices are quoted in pounds sterling and may be subject to VAT where applicable. We may require a deposit, part-payment, or full payment in advance for certain services, particularly where materials are ordered, specialist labour is reserved, or third-party costs are incurred.
Where payment is due on completion, you must pay immediately upon completion unless we have agreed a different arrangement in writing. We reserve the right to suspend or withhold the service if payment is overdue, if a deposit has not been paid, or if we reasonably believe that payment may be at risk. If you fail to pay any undisputed invoice by the due date, we may charge interest and recover reasonable costs associated with collection, in line with applicable law.
Any estimate or quote is based on the information available at the time and may change if the scope of work changes, if additional time is required, or if unforeseen issues arise. Service pricing may also change where delays are caused by the customer, where additional labour is required, or where the site conditions are materially different from those described. We will normally explain the reason for any price adjustment before proceeding where reasonably possible.
Cancellations and rescheduling requests must be made with reasonable notice. If you cancel after booking but before the service begins, we may charge a cancellation fee to cover administrative time, reserved labour, scheduled transport, or any non-refundable costs already incurred. The amount charged may vary depending on how much notice you give and whether any materials or third-party services have already been arranged.
If you fail to provide access, are not present when required, or otherwise prevent the service from being carried out, this may be treated as a late cancellation or wasted appointment. In such circumstances, we may charge the full or partial booking amount, particularly where the appointment slot could not reasonably be reallocated. Where we agree to reschedule, the new date will be subject to availability and may involve revised pricing if costs have changed.
If we need to cancel or reschedule the service due to weather, safety concerns, staff illness, supply issues, equipment failure, legal restrictions, or any other reason beyond our reasonable control, we will aim to notify you as soon as practicable. In such cases, we may offer an alternative appointment date or refund any amount paid for the cancelled element of the service. We will not be responsible for indirect losses caused by a rescheduled appointment, except where the law requires otherwise.
Our liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. We will perform the service with reasonable care and skill, and we remain responsible for losses directly caused by our negligence or breach of contract, subject to the exclusions and caps set out in these terms. However, we do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
We are not liable for any indirect, consequential, or special losses, including loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, or reputational harm, whether arising in contract, tort, negligence, or otherwise, except where such limitation is prohibited by law. If we are found liable for any claim connected with the service, our total liability will normally be limited to the amount you paid for the relevant service, unless a different cap is required by statute or expressly agreed in writing.
Nothing in these UK service terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer. If you are a business customer, you acknowledge that you are obtaining the service for business purposes and that liability limits may apply more broadly to the extent permitted by law. You are responsible for protecting your own property, data, and belongings during the service where these could reasonably be affected by the work being carried out.
Waste regulations are an important part of the service where materials, debris, packaging, or removed items are involved. You agree to comply with all applicable waste laws and to provide accurate information about any items that may require special handling. We may refuse to remove, transport, or dispose of waste that is hazardous, contaminated, improperly described, or outside the scope of the service.
Where we collect or remove waste on your behalf, ownership and responsibility for those items transfer only to the extent agreed in writing and only when lawful to do so. Certain items may require separate handling, licensing, documentation, or specialist disposal routes. You must not conceal prohibited or restricted materials among general waste. If we discover such materials, we may stop the service, charge additional fees, and require you to make suitable arrangements in line with applicable environmental and waste disposal rules.
All waste presented for collection must be prepared safely and lawfully. You are responsible for ensuring that items are not dangerous to handle, are suitably packaged where needed, and are declared correctly. We may take photographs or records of waste collections for compliance purposes. Where the service generates waste from our own operations, we will manage it in accordance with relevant legal obligations and accepted industry practice.
Service performance may depend on factors outside our control, including site conditions, third-party interruptions, or unforeseen access issues. We may use suitable subcontractors or agents to deliver part or all of the service, provided they are competent and appropriately instructed. The use of subcontractors will not reduce the quality standard we aim to provide, but it may affect timing and operational arrangements.
If you request changes to the agreed service, including additional work, upgrades, or altered timings, we may revise the price and completion date. Any variation should be agreed before the changed work begins whenever reasonably possible. If urgent work is required to protect health, safety, or property, we may act in the most practical way available and explain any resulting adjustment afterwards.
We may suspend or terminate a booking where continuing would be unsafe, unlawful, abusive, or impossible to complete reasonably. This includes circumstances where you fail to cooperate, do not provide essential information, or request work that conflicts with legal requirements. In such cases, any refund or charge will be assessed fairly based on the work done, costs incurred, and the reason for ending the service.
All intellectual property rights in our documents, systems, service methods, and prepared materials remain ours or our licensors’ unless expressly transferred in writing. Any reports, records, or documents we provide for your use are supplied only for the purpose of the relevant service. You must not reproduce or distribute them beyond what is necessary for that purpose without our written consent.
Personal data supplied in connection with a booking will be used only for service administration, payment processing, compliance, and related operational purposes, in accordance with applicable data protection law and any privacy information we provide separately. By booking the service, you consent to the collection and use of information necessary to perform the contract and manage our lawful business records.
If any part of these service conditions is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. A failure or delay by us in enforcing any right will not prevent us from enforcing that right later. No person other than you and us has any right to enforce these terms under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, unless we expressly state otherwise in writing.
The governing law of these terms is the law of England and Wales, unless we state otherwise in writing for a specific contract. If you are based in Scotland or Northern Ireland, different legal rules may apply to certain statutory rights, but the contract itself will be interpreted consistently with the applicable law and any mandatory consumer protections. Any dispute arising from or connected with the service will be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, without affecting any rights you may have under mandatory local law.
These terms may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our operations, legal obligations, or commercial practices. The version in force at the time of your booking will apply to that booking unless a later version is expressly agreed. We recommend reviewing the terms before each new service request so that you are aware of the current booking process, payment requirements, cancellation rules, liability limits, and waste obligations.
By proceeding with a booking, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these service terms and conditions. They are intended to provide a balanced and transparent framework for the delivery of a professional UK service, supporting both operational clarity and legal compliance. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should not complete the booking process.
