Terms and Conditions for Cleaners NW8

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Cleaners NW8 provides domestic and commercial cleaning services in the UK. By making a booking, the customer agrees to these terms, which are designed to create a clear understanding of the service, payment, cancellation rules, responsibilities, and limitations of liability. The aim is to keep the arrangement fair, practical, and compliant with relevant UK requirements. These terms apply whether the booking is for a one-off clean, a repeat service, or a specialist cleaning appointment. They should be read carefully before confirming any service with a cleaner from NW8.

For the purposes of these terms, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the cleaning provider, and references to “you” and “your” mean the customer receiving the service. The wording below applies to all standard Cleaners NW8 bookings unless a separate written agreement has been made. Any special instructions, access arrangements, or service limitations discussed before the appointment may form part of the booking, but only where they are confirmed by us. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer under UK law.

If any part of these terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining sections will continue to apply. We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in business practice, insurance cover, or legal obligations. The version in force at the time of booking will apply to your appointment unless we clearly notify you otherwise. Where a separate written quote or service agreement conflicts with these terms, the specific agreement will take priority for that booking only.

Booking Process

A booking is only confirmed once we have accepted your request and, where relevant, received any required deposit or payment in advance. Requests may be made by telephone, email, online form, or other accepted booking method. However, no request becomes binding until we confirm availability, the service type, and the approximate date or time of attendance. In some cases, we may ask for additional details such as property size, access needs, parking restrictions, or the level of cleaning required. This helps us assign the appropriate cleaner and estimate the time needed for the appointment.

When booking with NW8 cleaners, you are responsible for making sure that all information provided is accurate and complete. This includes the address, access instructions, service scope, and any special conditions that might affect the work. If the details provided are inaccurate, we may need to revise the quote, change the appointment time, or withdraw the booking. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel a booking if the property is unsafe, heavily contaminated, or unsuitable for the agreed service. Any changes requested after confirmation are subject to availability and may result in a revised charge.

Service Scope and Customer Responsibilities

The service scope will be limited to what has been agreed at the time of booking. Standard cleaning may include dusting, vacuuming, mopping, surface wiping, and bathroom or kitchen cleaning, depending on the arrangement. Specialist tasks, such as oven cleaning, end-of-tenancy deep cleaning, or stain removal, must be agreed separately. Customers must ensure that the property is reasonably prepared for the cleaner to work safely and efficiently. This means removing valuable personal items, securing pets where necessary, and ensuring reasonable access to water, electricity, and the rooms included in the booking.

You must also inform us in advance of any hazards, fragile items, biohazards, infestation, mould, or other conditions that could affect the cleaner’s ability to carry out the work. If we arrive and find that the property conditions are materially different from what was described, we may adjust the scope, add extra charges, or refuse to continue. We will always act reasonably in deciding whether a service can proceed. Any delay caused by the customer’s failure to prepare the property may reduce the available cleaning time without any entitlement to a refund.

Payments for cleaning services in NW8 are due in accordance with the price confirmed at booking or the invoice issued after the service, depending on the arrangement. We may require full payment in advance, a deposit, or payment on completion. Unless stated otherwise, all prices are quoted in pounds sterling and include only the services specifically agreed. Additional charges may apply for parking, congestion-related costs, extra labour, late access, heavy soiling, or out-of-scope tasks requested during the appointment. Any such charges should be communicated clearly wherever reasonably possible.

Payment must be made by the method we specify and within the period stated on the invoice or booking confirmation. If payment is not received on time, we may charge interest or recovery costs to the extent permitted by law. We may also suspend future bookings until outstanding sums have been cleared. In the event of a pricing error caused by a clear mistake, we reserve the right to correct the price before the service is carried out. If an appointment has already been completed and the error is discovered later, we may issue a corrected invoice, provided this is fair and supported by the booking records.

Where a recurring service is arranged, charges will apply for each scheduled visit unless the booking is cancelled in line with these terms. The customer remains responsible for ensuring that funds are available for any agreed automatic payment or invoice settlement. Discounts, promotional offers, or package prices may be withdrawn if the conditions attached to them are not met. Unless expressly stated, no discount can be combined with another offer. We may also require a payment method to be held on file for certain bookings, particularly where repeat visits or late cancellation risk is involved.

Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Missed Appointments

You may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving us notice within the time period stated at confirmation. If no specific period is stated, a minimum of 24 hours’ notice should be given for standard services. Cancellations made after that point may be charged in full or in part, depending on the stage of preparation and the length of time reserved. For larger or specialist jobs, a longer notice period may apply, and this will be made clear in the booking information. Any deposit paid may be non-refundable where work has been reserved exclusively for your appointment.

If our cleaner is unable to gain access at the agreed time, or if the property is not ready for cleaning, the appointment may be treated as a late cancellation or a missed visit. In such cases, the full fee or a call-out charge may still apply because time has been reserved and staff have been allocated. We are not responsible for delays caused by traffic, building access restrictions, parking limitations, or other matters outside our reasonable control. However, if we know that arrival will be significantly delayed, we will aim to notify you and offer an alternative where practical.

We may also reschedule or cancel an appointment where necessary due to illness, equipment failure, safety concerns, severe weather, or circumstances beyond our control. If we do so, we will arrange a new date or, where appropriate, refund any payment relating to the cancelled part of the service. This does not create liability for any indirect loss, inconvenience, or consequential costs. Cancellation rights under consumer law may apply in certain circumstances, but they may also be limited where the service has already started or where you requested an urgent appointment.

Liability and Insurance

We take reasonable care in providing cleaning services, and our staff or contractors are expected to work professionally and safely. Nevertheless, our liability is limited to losses that are reasonably foreseeable and directly caused by our breach of these terms, negligence, or failure to use reasonable skill and care. We are not liable for pre-existing damage, wear and tear, hidden defects, or items that were already faulty before cleaning began. Customers should notify us in advance of delicate surfaces, antique items, or materials requiring special handling.

Our cleaners may move lightweight items to carry out the agreed service, but they are not expected to handle high-value, heavy, or fragile possessions unless this has been specifically agreed. You should secure jewellery, cash, documents, and other valuables before the appointment. We will not be responsible for damage arising from items left in unsafe positions, from unsuitable cleaning products supplied by the customer, or from instructions that conflict with normal cleaning practice. If you ask us to use your own products or equipment, you accept the risks associated with them unless damage is caused by our clear negligence.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded under UK law. Subject to that, our total liability for any claim arising from a single booking will normally be limited to the amount paid for the relevant service. We do not accept responsibility for loss of income, loss of business, emotional distress, or any indirect or consequential loss, except where such exclusion is prohibited by law. These limitations are intended to be fair and proportionate to the nature of a cleaning service.

Waste Regulations and Disposal

Waste handling during and after a cleaning appointment must comply with applicable UK waste regulations. Our cleaners may remove standard household waste from bins or designated disposal points where this forms part of the agreed service. However, we do not remove hazardous waste, clinical waste, asbestos, chemicals, sharp contaminated materials, or other regulated substances unless this has been separately agreed in writing and is lawful to do so. Customers must disclose any waste that may require special handling before the appointment begins.

Where a cleaning task involves the removal of waste, the customer remains responsible for ensuring that the waste is properly identified and segregated where necessary. We may refuse to handle waste that we believe could create a safety risk, breach environmental rules, or require a specialist contractor. Any disposal fees, licensing requirements, or third-party charges associated with unusual waste streams will be payable by the customer if the service is agreed in advance. We aim to follow all relevant duty-of-care requirements when handling waste within the scope of our work.

Our cleaners will not transport or dispose of illegal substances, items subject to police investigation, or materials that require a controlled waste transfer process unless we are lawfully authorised and specifically instructed to do so. If waste is discovered unexpectedly during a job, the cleaner may stop work until the issue is clarified. Customers should not place prohibited waste in bags, bins, or areas intended for routine domestic clearance. Failure to disclose such items may result in the immediate termination of the service without refund, especially where safety or legal compliance is affected.

Complaints, Access, and General Terms

If you believe the service has not been delivered as agreed, you should notify us promptly and provide reasonable details of the issue. We may ask for photographs, a description of the problem, or an opportunity to return and inspect the service outcome. Where a complaint is justified, we may offer a re-clean, partial refund, or another reasonable remedy depending on the circumstances. Any remedy will be assessed fairly and in line with the contract terms and applicable consumer law. Failure to raise a concern promptly may make it more difficult to investigate the matter properly.

You agree to provide safe access to the property at the agreed time, including keys, entry codes, or other arrangements needed for the visit. If keys or access devices are entrusted to us, we will take reasonable care of them and use them only for the purpose of the booking. Any loss or replacement costs must be reported promptly and will be reviewed on the basis of fault and evidence. We may refuse to retain keys where doing so would be unsafe or unreasonable. Any property left open, unsecured, or accessible due to the customer’s own arrangement remains the customer’s responsibility.

These terms and any dispute or claim arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, although this does not affect any mandatory consumer rights that provide otherwise. If a dispute cannot be resolved amicably, both parties agree to act reasonably and attempt to settle the matter before starting formal proceedings. The contract between the parties is formed only in relation to the specific service booked and does not create any ongoing partnership, employment, or agency relationship unless expressly stated. By confirming a booking with Cleaners NW8, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted these Terms and Conditions.
