3. Booking Process

3.1 Customers may request a quote and make a booking by contacting the Company using any of the communication methods announced by the Company from time to time. When making a booking, the Customer must provide accurate and complete information, including the type and approximate volume of waste, collection address, access details, and preferred date and time.

3.2 The Company may provide an estimated quote based on the information supplied by the Customer. Any quote is subject to change if, upon arrival, the actual volume, weight, type of waste, or access conditions differ from those described by the Customer.

3.3 A booking is confirmed only when the Company has accepted the request and, where required, the Customer has accepted the estimate and provided any necessary payment details or deposit. The Company may decline a booking at its discretion.

3.4 For some Services, a site visit or photographic evidence of the waste may be requested before a final quote is confirmed. The Customer agrees to cooperate reasonably with such request to enable accurate pricing and efficient scheduling.

4. Access and Customer Obligations

4.1 The Customer must ensure that the Company has safe, reasonable, and lawful access to the premises, waste, and any necessary parking areas at the agreed time. Any required access codes, instructions, or permissions must be arranged by the Customer in advance.

4.2 The Customer warrants that they are either the owner of the premises or have full authority from the owner or responsible party to allow the Company to access the location and remove the waste.

4.3 The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the waste to be collected does not include prohibited materials, such as certain hazardous substances or items that require specialist disposal. If the Customer is unsure about any item, they must inform the Company in advance so that advice can be provided.

4.4 The Company shall not be responsible for delays or failure to provide Services where access is restricted, unsafe, or not as described. In such circumstances, the Company may charge a call-out fee or reasonable waiting time and may, at its discretion, reschedule or cancel the job.

5. Pricing and Payment Terms

5.1 Prices for Services are generally based on factors such as the volume and type of waste, loading time, weight, and access conditions. The Company will aim to provide clear price information before commencing work. All prices are quoted in pounds sterling and may be subject to VAT or other applicable taxes where required by law.

5.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due immediately upon completion of the Service. The Customer must ensure that an authorised person is available at the premises or contactable to make payment when the work is completed.

5.3 The Company accepts payment methods as notified to the Customer at the time of booking, which may include cash, card, or bank transfer. The Company reserves the right to request full or partial payment in advance or to take a card pre-authorisation prior to attending the premises.

5.4 If the amount of waste collected is less than initially estimated, the Company may, at its discretion, reduce the final charge. Conversely, if the waste exceeds the estimate, or if additional services are requested on site, the price will be adjusted accordingly and agreed with the Customer before proceeding where reasonably possible.

5.5 In the event of late or non-payment, the Company reserves the right to charge reasonable administrative fees, interest in accordance with applicable statutory rates, and any additional costs of debt recovery.

6.2 If the Customer cancels a booking with less than the requested notice period, the Company may charge a cancellation fee to cover administrative, scheduling, and travel costs. Any deposit paid may be retained in full or in part at the Companys discretion.

6.3 If the Company is unable to attend a booking at the agreed time due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including traffic delays, vehicle breakdown, extreme weather, staff illness, or other unforeseen events, the Company will notify the Customer as soon as reasonably possible and offer an alternative appointment. The Company shall not be liable for any indirect loss or consequential damage arising from such delay or rescheduling.

6.4 If the Customer is not present at the agreed time and has not provided sufficient access arrangements, the Company may treat the booking as cancelled and apply a call-out or cancellation fee.
