Our services include: commercial furniture removals, installations, reconfigurations, relocations, and storage. Any specific scope, programme and pricing are as stated in our quotation or order confirmation (the “Order”). If these Terms conflict with an Order, the Order prevails.
2. Quotes, orders & variations
- Quotes are based on information available at the time (survey/photos/brief) and are valid for the period shown on the quote.
- Hidden conditions (e.g. access limits, parking/permits, out-of-hours restrictions, lifts out of service, fire routes, security delays, additional packing/protection, unforeseen quantities) may require a price adjustment.
- Variations must be agreed in writing (email acceptable). We may charge for waiting time, additional labour, extra journeys, overtime or extended hours.
- Programme dates are indicative; we will coordinate with your FM/GC and use reasonable endeavours to meet target dates.

- Confirm items list (serials, locations, floor plans). Fragile/valuable items must be clearly identified.
4. Health & Safety
We operate a zero-harm policy. RAMS are provided on request and our supervisors can stop works if conditions are unsafe. You must notify us of site rules, high-risk areas, asbestos registers, hot-works control and emergency procedures. PPE, guarding and mechanical aids are used as task requires.
5. Storage & custody

6. Materials & title

8. Cancellations & postponements
