Refunds, Cancellations & Rescheduling
Effective from: 20 October 2025
We know plans change, and we always try to help. Because our operators and equipment are scheduled in advance, very late changes can leave a full day unused. The guidelines below keep things fair for everyone while staying as flexible as we can.
How You Pay
- Bookings are purchased through our Shopify store just like any other product—there is no separate deposit.
- Any eligible refund is returned to the original payment method.
Cancellations
24-Hour Cooling-Off (not for next-day bookings)
- Cancel within 24 hours of placing your order for a full refund, as long as the booking is not for the next day.
- “Next-day booking” means the scheduled start time is within 24 hours of when you placed the order.
After the 24-Hour Window
When a slot has been reserved for your team and machine, we begin staffing and logistics. If you cancel after the first 24 hours from ordering:
- More than 72 hours before the start time: refund of all amounts paid minus a £100 cancellation fee to cover allocated staff and planning.
- 24–72 hours before the start time: 50% refund of the hire fee.
- Less than 24 hours before the start time or on the day: no refund.
Next-Day Bookings
- Because we allocate resources immediately, next-day bookings are non-refundable once placed.
Rescheduling
- If requested more than 24 hours before the start time (and the booking is not next-day), we’ll reschedule once free of charge to the next mutually available date.
- Reschedule requests within 24 hours of the start time, or for next-day bookings, are treated as a cancellation (see above).
Access, Site Readiness & No-Shows
- Please ensure safe access, permits and site readiness. If our team attends and cannot carry out the work due to access or safety issues, it is treated as a late cancellation (no refund).
- If the site contact is unavailable at the scheduled time (no-show), this is treated as a late cancellation (no refund).
Weather, Safety & Our Cancellations
- If we must cancel or stop work for severe weather or safety reasons, we’ll offer a free reschedule or a full refund—your choice.
- If we cancel for any other company reason, you’ll receive a full refund.
Refund Timing
- Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method within 5–10 business days (bank/card provider times may vary).
