Our Terms & Conditions of Services

1. Cancellation Policy: A 50% cancellation fee may be charged for cancellations that occur when giving less than 7 days’ notice. When you book your removal with Get Moved UK you are agreeing to this policy. This is at the companies’ discretion. Any deposit that is paid is non-refundable unless the move is cancelled by Get-Moved UK.
2. The number of vehicles & removal operatives supplied are subject to the job requirements as deemed adequate by Get-Moved UK. We withhold the right to change the number of vehicles and removal operatives that we send to any job. However, the price will not change without prior notice being given unless any of our terms and conditions have not been adhered to. Any price change will always be agreed in advance with the customer.
3. Get-Moved UK must be able to park within a reasonable distance (20 Yards) from the property in which the job is being carried out from. It is the customer’s responsibility to reserve a suitable parking space for the removal vehicles. If you are unsure how much space to reserve you must contact Get-Moved UK for advice. Extra charges may be applied if we cannot park within this distance.
4. The customer must make Get-Moved UK aware before booking any removal of any access issues with regards to parking issues, limitations, double yellow lines, narrow roads/lanes or poor road surfaces that are not suitable for the removal vehicles. Refer to condition 3 for parking distance. If we are not made aware of any such issues before booking extra charges may be applied.
5. You (The customer) are responsible for any parking tickets or charges that Get Moved UK has to pay in order for us to carry out removal services on your behalf.
6. It is the customer’s responsibility to make Get-Moved UK aware of any access issues. This includes any items of furniture or general property that needs to be moved in or out of a property via a window, doors being removed from hinges, items that need to be lifted over a wall or fence. You must make Get-Moved UK aware of any such issues when obtaining your initial quotation as we reserve the right to refuse to quote any job that we deem to be an insurance risk or a health and safety risk. If we are not made aware of any such issues we reserve the right to refuse to move any item or extra charges may be applied.
7. All quotes are based on ground/1st floor only unless otherwise specified by the customer prior to quotation. If you are moving to a property, which is above this floor level, you must inform Get- Moved UK prior to booking. Extra charges will be incurred if you do not mention this until move day.
8. Get-Moved UK will not remove items from a loft/attic or basement unless previously agreed, as a Get-Moved UK member of staff would first need to inspect the said space for health and safety reasons. If you do not state that you need items removed from a loft or basement space prior to booking your removal Get-Moved UK reserves the right to refuse to move such items or extra charges may be applied.
9. Get-Moved UK calculates all quotes based on the amount of possessions/furniture that the customer requires moving along with other factors such as the distance between addresses and what type of properties both addresses are. If the list of possessions that the customer has supplied is not accurate Get-Moved UK reserves the right to alter the quote accordingly. Again if the list of possessions is different than the list that Get-Moved UK estimator made when visiting the property during the initial quote Get-Moved UK again reserve the right to alter the price accordingly.
10. Extra items of furniture will be charged at between £2.00-£20.00 dependent on the type/size of the item. Get-Moved UK appreciates that it is extremely difficult to estimate the amount of boxes that you will have. Taking this into account we will normally set a maximum amount that is included within the quote. Additional boxes will then be charged at between £1.00-£5.00 depending on weight and size.
11. If you choose to self-pack Get-Moved UK expects all loose items to be properly boxed up, general house contents such as, crockery, saucepans, glasses, DVD’s, books & bedding etc. must be securely packed in boxes or bags. Get-Moved UK will not move loose items if they are not boxed or packaged properly. We reserve the right to refuse to move any items that we deem are not adequately packed. If we agree to move any such items extra charges will be applied due to the extra time taken to complete the move.
12. When self-packing all boxes must be securely sealed with tape (top & bottom). Get-Moved UK will not move boxes that are just folded in and not taped due to insurance and health and safety reasons.
13. 13) When self-packing all bags must be securely sealed by either zipping the item up or using ties. Get-Moved UK will not move bags that are not securely sealed due to insurance and health and safety reasons.
14. Get-Moved UK reserves the right to refuse to move any items including boxes and bags if it deems that they are over loaded, insecure or too heavy. You will be required to split the weight of any such items. As a general rule if you think it’s too heavy it probably is, books and heavier items should be placed into small boxes and items like bedding and pillows can be placed into larger boxes.
15. Washing machines must be un-plumbed and drained and fridge freezers must be defrosted and emptied prior to our arrival. We will not take responsibility for the contents.
16. Get-Moved UK does not offer a dismantling and reassembly service. In the event it is absolutely essential an item requires dismantling in order to be moved, and if we agree to carry this out, this will be charged at between £20.00 – £50.00 per item. This is done without any liability. We reserve the right to refuse to dismantle or reassemble any item that we deem are either too technical/complicated and any items that have not been previously agreed before booking. If on the day of your move there are any such items it is the customer’s responsibility to arrange for this to be done unless previously agreed. The same rule applies with regards to disconnecting or reconnecting appliances, equipment, fixtures or fittings.
17. If Get-Moved UK is delayed due to waiting for the customer to dismantle furniture items, remove doors or windows, collect/hand back keys or for any other reason that wasn’t agreed prior to booking you will be charged £35.00 per hour. This is charged in 60-minute intervals. It is the customer’s responsibility to make Get-Moved UK aware of any likely delays. This excludes customers who are simply waiting to complete on the day of completion.
18. Get-Moved UK does not allow any customers travel as passengers in our vehicles as there may be insurance restrictions. We reserve the right to refuse to let customers travel in the vehicle unless it has been previously agreed.
19. There is a standard charge of £30 per unit for replacing any packing crate under hire lost or misplaced by yourself.
20. Other than by reason of our negligence or breach of contract, we will not be liable for delays in transit.
