Fulham Movers Service Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Fulham Movers provides domestic and commercial moving services, including packing, loading, transportation, unloading, furniture handling, and associated moving services. By making a booking, you agree that these terms apply to the services we supply, unless we agree otherwise in writing. Please read them carefully before confirming any request for a moving service.

In these Terms, “we”, “us”, and “our” mean Fulham Movers, and “you” means the customer named on the booking or any person acting on their behalf. These terms are intended to be clear and practical, and they should be read together with any written quotation, booking confirmation, inventory, or service schedule we provide. If there is any inconsistency, the written quotation or booking confirmation will normally take priority for the specific job.

We reserve the right to refuse or suspend services where we reasonably believe that the requested work is unsafe, unlawful, impossible within the agreed scope, or affected by matters outside our control. Our moving company services are designed to be carried out with reasonable care and skill, but they depend on accurate information from you, suitable access, and timely cooperation. All bookings are accepted subject to availability and these terms.

1. Booking Process

To request a booking, you must provide accurate details about the move, including the collection and delivery addresses, the date and preferred times, the number and type of items, parking or access restrictions, and any special handling requirements. We may ask for photos, an inventory, or further information before confirming the move. The more accurate the information provided, the more reliable the quotation and service planning will be.

A booking is only confirmed when we issue written confirmation or otherwise accept the booking in writing. Any estimate given before confirmation is based on the information available at the time and may be revised if the scope changes or if the information you supplied is incomplete or inaccurate. Fulham Movers service bookings are subject to vehicle and crew availability, and we do not guarantee a specific team member unless agreed in writing.

You are responsible for ensuring that the details you provide are correct and that someone with authority is available to approve decisions on the moving day if required. If the service involves dismantling, assembly, packing, specialist handling, or storage-related arrangements, these must be clearly agreed in advance. Any extra work requested on the day may be accepted at our discretion and charged separately. Where access is delayed or materially altered, we may re-schedule, adjust the price, or apply waiting charges.

2. Prices, Quotes, and Payments

Unless stated otherwise, prices are based on the information you give us and may be calculated by reference to time, labour, vehicle size, mileage, volume, access difficulty, or a fixed service fee. Quotations are typically valid for a limited period and may be withdrawn or changed if the job details, market conditions, or service date change. Any moving company quote is not a guarantee of final cost where the job differs from the original description.

We may require a deposit or booking fee to secure the date. The remaining balance may be due before the service starts, upon completion, or within the period stated on the invoice, depending on the arrangement agreed at booking. We accept payment methods notified at the time of booking. You must pay all sums due without set-off, deduction, or withholding unless required by law.

Where payment is not made on time, we may pause work, refuse to release goods where lawful, charge reasonable administrative costs, and recover debt collection or enforcement costs where permitted. If you pay by card or bank transfer, you must ensure that payment is authorised and cleared. Any banking charges, chargeback fees, or currency conversion costs arising from your payment method are your responsibility.

3. Changes to the Booking and Cancellation

You may request a change to the moving date, start time, address, or service scope, but any change is only effective when we confirm it. We will try to accommodate reasonable changes, though we cannot promise availability. If the revised arrangement requires extra labour, additional vehicles, or more time, we may revise the quotation accordingly. This applies to both Fulham Movers removals services and smaller single-item jobs.

You may cancel a booking by giving written notice. If you cancel more than 7 days before the scheduled date, any deposit may be refunded less reasonable administrative costs, unless otherwise stated in your confirmation. If you cancel within 7 days of the job date, the deposit may be retained, and further cancellation charges may apply if we have already incurred costs. If cancellation occurs on the day of the move or after our team has been dispatched, the full fee or a substantial proportion of it may be charged, depending on the circumstances and losses incurred.

If we must cancel or reschedule due to vehicle failure, staff unavailability, severe weather, safety concerns, legal restrictions, or other events beyond our reasonable control, we will use reasonable efforts to offer an alternative time or date. Our liability in these circumstances is limited to refunding amounts paid for work not performed, unless the law requires otherwise. We are not responsible for consequential losses caused by cancellation where the cause is outside our reasonable control.

4. Customer Responsibilities

You must ensure that the property, items, and access routes are ready for the move at the agreed time. This includes arranging parking permissions where necessary, securing lift access if relevant, disconnecting appliances if required, and ensuring that items to be moved are adequately packed unless packing has been included in the service. You must also provide truthful information about any fragile, valuable, oversized, hazardous, or awkward items.

Unless we agree otherwise, you should remove personal data, cash, jewellery, important documents, and other high-value portable items from the goods before collection. We may refuse to move items that we reasonably consider unsafe, prohibited, or unsuitable for transportation. If you ask us to move items that are heavy or difficult, you must tell us in advance so we can assess whether additional resources are needed. Failure to disclose such matters may affect timing, pricing, and liability.

Where our team is asked to enter premises, you warrant that you have the right to authorise access and that the premises are safe for the work being carried out. You are responsible for any loss arising from inaccurate instructions, improper packing by you, hidden defects, or insufficient access information. If delays occur because you are not ready, we may charge waiting time, abortive costs, or additional labour. Customer cooperation is essential for a successful moving service.

5. Handling, Goods, and Liability

We will use reasonable care and skill when handling your goods, but moving work involves inherent risks, especially for fragile, antique, or inadequately packed items. Unless we have expressly agreed in writing to pack or unpack a specific item, you remain responsible for the condition, suitability, and adequacy of packaging. Any declarations made by you about the condition, value, or fragility of goods must be accurate.

Our liability for loss or damage is limited to direct losses caused by our proven negligence or breach of contract, subject to the exclusions and limits in these Terms and to any rights you may have under applicable law. We are not liable for pre-existing damage, normal wear and tear, defects in the item itself, inadequate packaging by you, or damage that would have occurred despite reasonable care. We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded.

If you believe something has been lost, damaged, or left behind, you must notify us as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within 24 hours of completion of the service, unless the law requires a longer period. Claims should include reasonable evidence of the issue, such as photographs, descriptions, or supporting documents. We may inspect the item and may require you to retain the packaging or damaged goods for assessment. Where liability is accepted, our remedy may be repair, replacement, or compensation at our discretion and within legal limits.

6. Waste, Disposal, and Environmental Compliance

Where our service includes disposal, removal, clearance, or transport of waste, you must tell us exactly what materials are involved. We operate in accordance with applicable waste management laws and environmental rules and will not collect, transport, or dispose of anything that is prohibited, hazardous, infectious, contaminated, or wrongly described. If you ask us to dispose of waste, you confirm that you have the legal right to request disposal of those items and that they are accurately identified.

Waste must be separated, described, and presented in a lawful and safe manner. We may refuse materials that are not declared in advance or that require specialist handling or licensing beyond our agreed service. If we discover restricted waste after arrival, we may decline the job, charge additional costs, or hand the matter back to you. You are responsible for the accuracy of the description of any waste, and for any consequences arising from misleading or incomplete information.

When required by law, we or our appointed contractors may transfer waste only to authorised facilities and may retain records to demonstrate compliance. You agree to cooperate with any lawful documentation needed to support the collection and disposal process. Fulham Movers waste services are provided on the understanding that both parties will comply with applicable regulations, including duties to prevent unlawful disposal and to avoid environmental harm.

7. Delays, Access Issues, and Force Majeure

We will use reasonable efforts to arrive within any agreed time window, but times are estimates rather than guarantees unless expressly confirmed as fixed. Traffic, weather, road closures, breakdowns, access restrictions, lift failures, and delays caused by third parties may affect the schedule. If our team is delayed for reasons within our control, we will inform you as soon as reasonably practicable and arrange the most suitable alternative available.

If your premises, route, or delivery location becomes inaccessible, unsafe, or unsuitable, we may have to wait, reschedule, divert, or terminate the service. Additional time or re-attendance may be charged. We are not responsible for loss caused by delays outside our control, including but not limited to acts of nature, fire, flood, labour disputes, public emergency, governmental restrictions, or telecommunications failure. In such cases, performance may be suspended for as long as the event continues.

If the move cannot proceed because of your acts or omissions, such as not being present, failing to arrange access, or failing to provide accurate information, we may charge the full or partial fee and any reasonable costs incurred. Moving company terms must strike a fair balance between reliability and practical limits, and these provisions are intended to do exactly that.

8. Complaints, Severability, and Governing Law

If you have a complaint about our service, you should raise it promptly and provide enough detail for us to investigate. We will review the matter in good faith and aim to respond within a reasonable time. Complaints should be supported by relevant evidence where possible, especially if they concern damage, missing items, or alleged service failures. Any complaint process does not affect your legal rights.

If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force to the extent permitted by law. No failure or delay by us in enforcing any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of that right or remedy. These Terms may be updated from time to time, and the version in force at the time of your booking will apply to that booking unless a different version is expressly agreed.

These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer law provides otherwise. By booking Fulham Movers, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these service terms.

In summary, these Terms and Conditions are designed to make the booking process clear, explain payment expectations, define cancellation rules, set fair limits on liability, and ensure waste handling complies with the law. They are intended to support a professional moving service while protecting both you and Fulham Movers. If you proceed with a booking, these conditions will form part of our service agreement.
