2.1 The Company provides waste removal and collection services for domestic and commercial customers within Bayswater and selected nearby areas. Services may include one-off clearances, regular collections, and ad hoc waste removals.

2.2 The Company reserves the right to refuse any collection where the Waste presented is outside the agreed scope, unsafe to handle, or not compliant with UK waste regulations.

2.3 Any description of Services given verbally, in writing or through advertising materials is for guidance only and does not form part of the contract unless expressly confirmed in writing.

3. Booking Process

3.1 Bookings may be made by telephone, email or through any online booking system the Company may operate from time to time.

3.2 At the time of booking, the Customer must provide accurate information about the type, estimated volume and nature of the Waste, access to the Site, parking conditions, and any relevant restrictions or special requirements.

3.3 The Company may provide an estimated price based on the information supplied by the Customer. This estimate is not binding if the actual Waste or Site conditions differ from the description given.

3.4 The Company may, at its discretion, require photographs of the Waste or a Site visit prior to confirming a quotation. Any quotation given following inspection will usually replace any earlier estimate.

3.5 A booking is accepted when the Company confirms the date, time window and indicative or fixed price in writing or verbally and the Customer confirms acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.

3.6 The Customer is responsible for ensuring that someone with authority is present at the Site at the agreed time of collection, unless otherwise agreed in advance.

4. Pricing and Quotes

4.1 Prices are generally based on a combination of factors including volume or weight of Waste, access conditions, labour time and any disposal or recycling charges.

4.2 Unless stated otherwise, quotations are exclusive of VAT. Where VAT applies, it will be added at the prevailing rate.

4.3 If, on arrival at the Site, the volume or nature of the Waste is different from that originally described, or Site conditions are significantly different, the Company may revise the price. The Customer will be informed of any price change before work proceeds.

4.4 If the Customer declines the revised price, the Company may cancel the Service and charge a reasonable call-out or attendance fee to cover time and travel costs.

5. Payments

5.1 Payment is due in full on completion of the Service unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing.

5.2 The Company accepts payment by cash, card or other methods specified at the time of booking. For business Customers, invoicing terms may be available by agreement.

5.3 Where credit terms are agreed, invoices must be paid in full within the period stated on the invoice. If no period is stated, payment is due within 14 days of the invoice date.

5.4 The Company reserves the right to charge interest on overdue sums at the statutory rate permitted under UK law, accruing daily until payment is received in full.

5.5 The Customer is responsible for any bank charges, transfer fees or other costs associated with making payment.

6.3 If the Customer cancels less than 24 hours before the scheduled collection time, the Company may charge a cancellation fee to cover administration, scheduling and travel costs.

6.4 If the Company arrives at the Site at the agreed time and is unable to carry out the Service due to the Customer not being present, lack of access, unsafe conditions, or the Customer failing to present Waste as agreed, this may be treated as a late cancellation and a reasonable call-out fee may be charged.

6.5 The Company reserves the right to cancel or reschedule a booking due to adverse weather, vehicle breakdown, staff illness, safety concerns, access issues, or other circumstances beyond its reasonable control. In such cases, the Company will endeavour to offer an alternative appointment or a refund of any prepayments.

7.1 The Customer is responsible for providing safe and reasonable access to the Site, including any necessary keys, codes or permissions.

8. Waste Regulations and Prohibited Items

8.1 The Company operates in accordance with applicable UK waste management legislation and is committed to responsible disposal, recycling and recovery wherever practicable.

8.2 The Customer confirms that the Waste presented for collection is their property or that they have full authority from the property owner or lawful controller of the Waste to arrange for its removal.
