Terms and Conditions for Tenancy Cleaning London Services
These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which our tenancy cleaning London services are provided. By making a booking, the customer agrees to these terms in full. They are designed to make the service clear, fair, and easy to understand for both residential and commercial clients seeking a professional London tenancy cleaning service after the end of a lease, before a new tenancy begins, or at any other suitable changeover point.
Important: these terms apply to all standard, deep, and end-of-tenancy cleaning appointments unless a separate written agreement states otherwise. Any request for additional works, specialist treatment, or non-standard access arrangements may require an updated quotation and revised booking confirmation. The terms below should be read carefully before payment is made or access is granted to the property.
We aim to provide a transparent framework for the booking, payment, cancellation, and liability arrangements associated with tenancy cleaning in London. These terms do not affect your statutory rights as a consumer where applicable. If any provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply.
1. Booking Process
A booking for end of tenancy cleaning London services is considered provisional until it has been accepted and confirmed in writing or by electronic message. The customer must provide accurate information, including the property address, type of property, number of rooms, approximate condition, parking or access issues, and any requested extras such as oven cleaning, carpet cleaning, appliance detailing, or upholstery treatment. The final scope of the service is based on the information supplied at the time of booking.
The customer is responsible for ensuring that the property is ready for cleaning at the scheduled time. This includes removing personal belongings, providing access to all agreed rooms and areas, and ensuring that utilities such as water and electricity are available unless otherwise agreed. If access is delayed or incomplete, the service time may be shortened, rescheduled, or charged as a wasted visit at our discretion.
Any quotation issued for tenancy cleaners London services is typically based on the information provided and may be revised if the actual property condition differs materially from the description given. Additional charges may apply where the property is unusually soiled, cluttered, or affected by pet hair, mould, heavy limescale, grease build-up, or similar issues requiring extended labour or specialist products.
2. Service Scope and Customer Responsibilities
The cleaning service is limited to the agreed areas and tasks listed in the booking confirmation. Unless expressly included, the service does not cover repairs, decorating, gardening, waste removal beyond normal domestic cleaning waste, removal of hazardous materials, mould remediation, or any work requiring trade qualifications. The customer should not expect a tenancy cleaning service in London to replace deep sanitation, restoration, or maintenance work.
The customer must notify us in advance of any known hazards, fragile items, infestations, biohazards, or special surfaces that need careful handling. This includes but is not limited to antique fittings, untreated wood, natural stone, delicate glass, or high-value fixtures. If such information is withheld and damage or delay occurs as a result, we may limit or exclude liability to the extent permitted by law.
We reserve the right to refuse or modify tasks that we reasonably believe are unsafe, unlawful, or likely to cause damage. Where a customer requests additional work on the day, we may agree to it subject to availability, revised pricing, and sufficient time. Any additional cleaning work agreed at the property forms part of the service contract once accepted by both parties.
3. Payments
Payment terms for tenancy cleaning London are set out in the booking confirmation or invoice. Unless agreed otherwise, payment may be required in advance, on the day of service, or immediately after completion. We may request a deposit to secure the booking, especially for larger properties, short-notice appointments, or services involving multiple operatives. Deposits are generally non-refundable except where stated otherwise in these terms.
All prices are stated in pounds sterling and may be inclusive or exclusive of VAT depending on our pricing structure and the applicable tax treatment at the time of booking. If VAT applies, it will be shown separately where required. Discounts, promotional rates, and estimated quotes are valid only for the stated period and may be withdrawn before booking confirmation.
Late payments may result in administration charges, suspension of future services, or recovery action. The customer shall be responsible for any reasonable costs incurred in recovering outstanding sums, including bank charges, collection costs, or legal fees where recovery is necessary and permitted by law. We may also charge interest on overdue invoices at the statutory rate where applicable.
4. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Access Failures
Cancellations or rescheduling requests for London tenancy cleaning appointments must be made within the notice period stated in the booking confirmation. Where no notice period is specified, a minimum of 24 hours is expected for standard bookings and longer notice may apply for larger or specially arranged jobs. If adequate notice is not provided, cancellation fees may apply.
If the customer cancels after the team has been dispatched or upon arrival at the property, a wasted visit fee may be charged to cover labour, travel, and operational costs. The same applies where access is refused, keys are not available, the property is locked, utilities are unavailable, or the customer or their representative is absent at the scheduled time and cannot provide access within a reasonable period.
We may need to reschedule due to severe weather, illness, vehicle failure, traffic disruption, safety concerns, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control. In such cases, we will seek to offer an alternative appointment time. We are not liable for indirect loss arising from a rescheduled appointment, provided we act reasonably and communicate the change promptly.
5. Liability and Limitations
Our liability in connection with tenancy cleaners London services is limited to the reasonable cost of rectifying proven damage directly caused by our negligence, up to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not accept liability for pre-existing damage, wear and tear, hidden defects, deterioration due to age, or issues resulting from poor maintenance or unsuitable materials.
Customers are encouraged to inspect the property promptly after the service is completed. Any concerns about missing items, damage, or alleged incomplete tasks should be reported within a reasonable time and, where possible, before the property is reoccupied or handed over. Failure to notify us promptly may affect our ability to investigate the issue and may limit any remedy.
We shall not be liable for loss of rent, loss of deposit, lost business, emotional distress, consequential loss, or any indirect or incidental damages arising from the use of our tenancy cleaning London service, except where such exclusion is not permitted by law. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
6. Waste Regulations and Disposal
During the course of cleaning, we may collect and dispose of limited domestic waste generated by the service, such as packaging, disposable cloths, gloves, or general residue that forms part of normal cleaning operations. However, the customer remains responsible for the removal of household contents, furniture, large items, builders’ rubble, electrical appliances, paint, chemicals, sharps, and any other controlled or hazardous waste unless otherwise agreed in writing.
We will handle waste in accordance with applicable UK waste regulations and good environmental practice. Waste will not be disposed of in a manner that creates a legal breach, nuisance, or health risk. Any items identified as hazardous, restricted, or requiring specialist disposal may be left in place and reported to the customer rather than removed by the cleaning team.
If the property contains waste that is unsafe, contaminated, or unlawfully stored, we may suspend work until the issue is resolved. Where a customer asks us to remove waste outside the agreed scope, we may refuse the request or provide a separate quotation if we are legally and operationally able to assist. The customer must ensure that no prohibited materials are left for the team to handle.
7. Quality, Re-cleans, and Complaints
If the customer believes that an agreed task under the tenancy cleaning London booking has not been completed to a reasonable standard, they must notify us within the time period specified in the booking confirmation or, where none is stated, within 24 hours of completion. We may request photographs or access to inspect the property before deciding whether a re-clean is appropriate.
Any re-clean offered will be limited to the original service scope and only to the area or item reasonably identified as requiring attention. Re-cleans do not include new work, altered specifications, or tasks made necessary by subsequent use of the property after the original service has ended. A re-clean may be declined if the condition of the property has changed after completion.
We will consider complaints fairly and in good faith. However, dissatisfaction based on subjective expectations that were not part of the agreed scope does not automatically entitle the customer to a refund. Where a partial remedy is appropriate, we may offer a revisit, partial adjustment, or other reasonable solution at our discretion and subject to the circumstances.
8. Health, Safety, and Access
The customer must take reasonable steps to ensure a safe working environment for our operatives. This includes securing pets, providing safe entry and exit routes, removing obvious trip hazards where possible, and informing us of any alarm systems, CCTV, or access restrictions. The team may stop work if the environment becomes unsafe.
Our operatives are entitled to work without harassment, abuse, or intimidation. Aggressive conduct, threats, or persistent interference may result in the service being terminated immediately, with the customer remaining liable for work already completed and any wasted costs. We may also refuse future bookings where behaviour creates a safety concern.
Where keys are entrusted to us, they will be handled with reasonable care. Any key-holding arrangement is subject to the terms confirmed at booking. We do not accept liability for loss arising from unlabelled, faulty, or duplicated keys supplied by the customer where the issue was not reasonably foreseeable.
9. General Terms
We may assign or subcontract part of the service where necessary to fulfil the booking, provided the service standard is maintained. The customer may not transfer their rights or obligations under these terms to another person without our written consent. No waiver of any right is effective unless agreed in writing.
If we do not enforce any part of these terms immediately, that does not mean we waive the right to do so later. These terms, together with the booking confirmation and any written amendments, form the entire agreement between the parties regarding the relevant London tenancy cleaning service. Any verbal promise not reflected in writing should not be relied upon.
We may update these terms from time to time to reflect operational changes, legal requirements, or improvements to our service process. The version in force at the time of booking will apply to that booking unless a later written variation is agreed. Customers are responsible for reviewing the terms before each new appointment.
10. Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer law provides otherwise.
In summary: by booking our tenancy cleaning London service, you agree to provide accurate booking details, pay the agreed charges on time, allow safe access to the property, comply with cancellation requirements, and understand the limits of our liability. These terms are intended to support a professional, efficient, and lawful service arrangement for all customers.
For any booking involving special requirements, unusual property conditions, or additional tasks, the customer should ensure that these are clearly stated before confirmation. Clear communication helps prevent disputes and ensures that the end of tenancy cleaning London service is delivered on the agreed basis.
