Terms & Conditions:

1. ABOUT US

Trading as Andrews Waste®, and with our registered office at 170, 405, Kings Road, Chelsea London SW10 0BB

2. PROVISION OF SERVICES

a) Unless we are prevented from doing so by a Force Majeure Event, we will render services with reasonable care and skill.

b) We will make every reasonable effort to provide the services on the removal dates offered, but there may be delays due to circumstances beyond our control. In this case, we will inform you to arrange a revised collection date as soon as reasonably possible. Where we provide you with an estimated time of arrival, this should not be construed as offering any form of guarantee as to the time upon which we will attend to perform the collection

c) You shall provide our employees with free and safe access to the premises where the rubbish is to be removed. You shall also notify us of any special circumstances which may be relevant to our quotation, including but not limited to if the rubbish is difficult to get to, if any items are large or heavy if it involves our staff working at height, if the waste is secured, if there is likely to be a dispute as to whether the rubbish can be cleared, or if we are unable to park outside the premises, within a reasonable distance, to where the waste is to be collected from. If you do not, or you provide us with incomplete or inaccurate information or instructions, we may cancel a collection at any time, either on attendance at a site or by giving you notice, or we may make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to cover any extra work or costs that are required.

d) In the event that we attend the premises in your absence, you must undertake to provide us with the means to contact you and take payment before the collection proceeding. Failure to do so may result in the collection failing, in which circumstances the Company is not to be held liable for any loss or damage howsoever incurred.

e) You confirm that you have the full authority for us to collect and dispose of the rubbish. You shall indemnify us from and against any cost or expense we suffer or incur from any third party as a result of your not having the authority for us to clear the rubbish.

f) If we detect or suspect there may be any asbestos or other hazardous or dangerous substances or materials on site, we may immediately vacate the premises and will not be responsible for further collection and disposal. In such event, you shall still be fully liable to pay for our attendance in full and for any waste already removed.

g) If we need to appoint an expert to remove such materials already loaded onto our vans, we reserve the right to charge you if, at the time of removal, we were unaware of any asbestos or other hazardous or dangerous substances or materials in what has been removed.

h) Any sharp or dangerous objects, e.g. knives and broken glass, should be separately stored in an appropriate container by you before we arrive for the collection. Under no circumstances should sharp objects be stored in bags. This requirement is for the health and safety of our staff.

3. BASIS OF SALE

a) These Terms and any quotation provided by our vehicle teams set out the whole agreements between you and us for the supply of our collection services, to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions.

b) Where we are able to provide a quote for our services without first needing to inspect the location where our services are to be provided, then a contract shall be created between us on your acceptance of our quote, whether by telephone or email or otherwise. We reserve the right to vary our quoted price if, at the time of collection, the information you provided to us at the time of quotation was incomplete or inaccurate. Any cost supplied in advance of the collection will normally be an estimate only.

4. CANCELLATIONS AND CHARGES

a) We may, at our discretion, refund the attendance fee if you wish to cancel a booked collection provided such a request to do so is received at any time on the business day preceding the date of the collection by email sent to ‘info@andrews-waste.co.uk’ or by telephoning our customer support centre.

b) Where you may be deemed to be contracting as a “consumer”, then you will additionally have the right to cancel a booking at any time up to the end of seven working days after the day on which the contract is concluded, subject to the following provisions. A working day is any day other than weekends and bank or other public holidays: (a) You do not have the right to cancel the contract if the supply of our services begins with your agreement before the end of the seven working day cancellation period. It is assumed we have your agreement if we are required to carry out our work within this period. (b) To exercise the statutory right of cancellation, you must provide us with written notice.

c) If we are unable to remove any items from the premises as, for example, they are too large to fit through the doorways, then if we agree, at our discretion, to try and dismantle the item, e.g. remove legs from tables, in order to try and get the item to fit through the doorway, if we are still unable to remove the item from the premises, then we shall not be responsible for the reassembly of such an item.

d) We allocate specified time limits for removal to our vehicle for each collection of rubbish at the premises specified, together with weight and volume for our vehicle team to make their initial assessment of the job. Where it takes us longer than the allocated time for the allotted amount of storage space on a truck (which may differ from the amount of space it takes up when stored), we reserve the right to charge for each additional minute of labour at such rates as displayed on the Company’s website from time to time.

e) If, in our vehicle team’s professional judgment, the weight of the collection exceeds our pricing terms, we reserve the right to for the collection by its weight which is assessed at the absolute discretion of our truck team with the price for removing of weight and volume is the same as the price advertised on our website from time to time for removal of waste weight and capacity in the absence of any express agreement with the Company to the contrary.

f) ‘Difficult waste’ (including but not limited to fridges and car tires) is charged at such rates as displayed on the Company’s website from time to time.
