Limited Liability:

       

       6.            a.    In the removals industry, limited liability is standard practice because the mover does not know the value of a customer’s                                       goods.

                      b.    We encourage all our customers to take out insurance to cover themselves against losses greater than the limits set out in our                               terms  and conditions and for risks where they have no rights of recourse against the removal contractor.

Please check your Home or Contents insurance policy as many home insurance companies already cover you for all risks with regards to your removal.
