START TIME

Customers should be ready and packed to move for the time scheduled, unless we have already agreed to do a pack and move on the day. Specific agreed start times will be for removals that are booked in the morning. Removals that are booked in the afternoon, will have an estimated time. We try our best to stick to the scheduled time provided, however please be aware that every removal is different which can result in delays. Our team will keep you informed on the day of removal. There will be no deduction of cost if we are later than our estimated time of arrival.

 

JOBS CHARGED BY TIME

Removals that are charged by time will start from when the van arrives, until the last item has been unloaded or when all customers’ requirements have been fulfilled plus the drive time back to the office. (+30 mins) Jobs outside of Peterborough will have the drive time charged from leaving the office to returning to the office plus fuel. Unless a set price has been agreed. Please be aware even though we will do our best to estimate job lengths, jobs may take longer than estimated. Moves will be charged for the time that they actually take to complete. Due to the nature of removals, there are many factors that can increase job length that are out of our control.

 

OUR SERVICE

We will aim to complete each job to a high standard. We will put all furniture where the customer desires as long as it is reasonable and safe to do so. We will stack boxes where needed, if there is not enough floor place to stack boxes, we may have to stack boxes higher than normal to get everything into the property. It is the customer’s responsibility to make sure their furniture fits into the new location and is in a good state of repair to move without damage. If customers furniture will not fit into the new property, additional costs may be incurred in the transportation to another location. We can disconnect and reconnect washing machines, dishwashers and fridges as long as there is space to do so. We DO NOT remove kitchen worktops, or any other kind of carpentry works that may be required so that kitchen appliances fit in the new property. If the correct taps are not available or working, it is the customer’s responsibility for required repairs to be carried out. We cannot disconnect gas cookers, light fittings or electrical appliances that are hard wired into the wall. Any furniture that is screwed to the wall, such as TV wall mounts, curtains and curtain rails, shelving, light fittings and anything else, should be ready and disconnected by the customer prior to the move. It is the customer’s responsibility to disconnect and reconnect any TV’s, stereos, computers, or any other electrical equipment. Please note all furniture building/disconnecting services must be agreed prior to the move. If we have to move white goods and or any furniture left behind by the previous tenants in your new property additional charges may be incurred. We can move pianos but only from ground floor to ground floor. We can take furniture out of a window if required but we do not take responsibility for any damages caused by doing so.

 

FURNITURE DISMANTLING AND REASSEMBLING

We can dismantle and rebuild furniture as long as the furniture is designed to do so and in a condition that allows this to happen. This has to be agreed prior to the move. Please note - flat pack furniture is not designed to be taken apart and rebuilt many times. Even the most experienced and careful of hands cannot help the cheap woodchip from chipping and connecting dowels failing. We will not be liable for the woodchip and dowels failing from disassembly or reassembly. Flat pack furniture may lose original rigidity even when correctly rebuilt. This is one of the reasons flat pack furniture is more affordable. We are not responsible if rebuilt furniture loses its original rigidity. Some furniture may have been glued or nailed and/or may not be designed to be taken apart without damage. We will not be liable for damage of furniture that has been glued or nailed together when taking it apart. Custom made furniture and old furniture is not made to be disassembled.
