2. Scope of Services
2.1 We provide rubbish clearance and waste collection services for residential and commercial premises within our operational area. Our services include collection, loading, transportation and lawful disposal or recycling of Waste.
2.2 We reserve the right to refuse to collect certain types of Waste, including but not limited to hazardous, toxic, explosive, medical, clinical, chemical or biological waste, asbestos, pressurised containers, and any items we reasonably consider unsafe to handle or transport.
2.3 We do not provide dismantling, electrical disconnection, plumbing disconnection or building works unless specifically agreed in writing. Where you request items to be moved from inside a property, it is your responsibility to ensure safe and clear access.
3. Booking Process
3.1 You may request a booking by telephone or other communication channels accepted by us. Bookings are subject to availability and are not confirmed until we have provided explicit confirmation and, where required, you have accepted any applicable quotation.
3.2 When making a booking, you must provide accurate and complete information regarding:
a. The type, approximate amount and nature of Waste to be collected.
b. The location and access arrangements for the premises.
3.3 Any quotation or estimate we provide is based on the information supplied by you. If, on arrival, the Waste differs in volume, type or access difficulty from the details given at the time of booking, we may:
a. Adjust the price accordingly.
b. Offer to complete only part of the job.
c. Decline to carry out the Services and apply a call-out or cancellation charge.
3.4 We aim to attend during the agreed time window but do not guarantee exact arrival times. Time is not of the essence in relation to performance of the Services. We will notify you of any significant delays where reasonably possible.
4. Quotations and Prices
4.1 Quotations may be given as a fixed price or as an estimate based on the volume and type of Waste and the access conditions described by you.
4.2 Our charges are generally based on the volume of Waste, weight, labour time, and any additional services required. Additional charges may apply for:
a. Excess volumes or overweight loads.
b. Difficult access, including stairs, long carrying distances or restricted loading.
c. Parking fees, congestion charges, tolls or penalty charges incurred due to incomplete or inaccurate information provided by you.
4.3 All prices are quoted in pounds sterling and may be subject to VAT or other applicable taxes where relevant. Any such taxes will be clearly stated where applicable.
4.4 We reserve the right to revise our prices at any time. The price applicable to your booking will be the price confirmed at the time of booking, subject to any variations in Waste volume, type or access as described in these Terms and Conditions.
5. Payments
5.1 Payment for the Services is due on completion of the job, unless otherwise agreed in writing prior to the Service date.
5.2 We may accept payment by cash, bank transfer, debit card or credit card, subject to any methods we make available at the time of service. We reserve the right to refuse certain payment methods at our discretion.
5.3 For commercial or account customers, alternative payment terms may be agreed in writing. Where credit terms are granted, payment must be made in accordance with the agreed terms. Failure to pay on time may result in suspension of services and the addition of interest and collection costs.
5.4 If payment is not received when due, we may charge interest on overdue amounts at the statutory rate permitted under applicable legislation, accruing daily until payment is made in full. You will also be liable for all reasonable costs incurred by us in recovering unpaid sums.
6. Cancellations, Rescheduling and Access
6.1 You may cancel or reschedule a booking by contacting us. We request that you provide as much notice as possible so that we can adjust our schedules.
6.2 Where you cancel a booking with less than 24 hours' notice prior to the scheduled arrival time, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable cancellation fee to cover our costs and loss of opportunity.
6.3 If we attend your premises at the agreed time and are unable to gain access, or the job cannot proceed for reasons within your control, we may treat this as a late cancellation and charge a call-out or cancellation fee.
6.4 We may cancel or reschedule a booking due to circumstances beyond our control, including but not limited to vehicle breakdowns, severe weather, staff illness, road closures or safety concerns. In such cases, we will not be liable for any resulting losses, but we will offer an alternative appointment where reasonably possible.
