2. Definitions
- Consumer: An individual acting wholly or mainly outside of trade, business, craft, or profession.
- Contract: The legally binding agreement between you and us for the supply of the Services.

- Goods: Any items supplied alongside the Services as specified in the Order.
- Order: Your request for Services or acceptance of a quotation.
- Services: The cleaning services and any associated Goods as described in the Order.
3. General Information
- Professional cleaning requires the use of chemicals, equipment, and hot water. If hot water is unavailable at the premises, please notify us at least 24 hours in advance. As this will affect the results, we will not be able to guarantee our work. Furthermore, an additional charge of £50 will apply.
- We aim to provide the highest quality cleaning; however, minor oversights may occur. Customers are asked to inspect the property upon completion. If the property is not checked, our Quality Service Guarantee and Inspection Pass Guarantee may not apply.
- A Declaration Form will be provided at the end of each service, confirming that the cleaning meets satisfactory standards.
- For End of Tenancy services, we guarantee our work only if the property is completely empty and free of rubbish, clear of people, pets, and personal belongings prior to arrival.
- During colder months, the property must be heated to a minimum of 16°C to allow safe and effective cleaning. If adequate heating is not provided, we reserve the right to adjust the scope of work or reschedule the service.
Allergy and Delicate Surfaces
- Notify us at least 24 hours in advance if anyone has allergies to cleaning chemicals; we are not responsible for incidents resulting from undisclosed allergies.
- Delicate surfaces (e.g., painted tiles, brass taps, Hansgrohe fixtures) must be highlighted prior to cleaning. We take care with generally non-delicate surfaces but cannot accept responsibility for damage to undisclosed delicate surfaces.
Mould Disclaimer
While we aim to achieve the best possible results, we cannot guarantee the complete removal of mould, including in areas such as washing machine seals or other affected surfaces, as we are not specialists in mould treatment.
Photos of Work
We may take before and after photographs of our work for reference. No personal or identifiable information will be included. If you have any concerns, please inform us in advance.
Customer Responsibilities
For occupied properties, customers must:
- Clear surfaces and floors to allow access for cleaning.
- Empty sinks, dishwashers, and worktops.
- Remove ornaments, keys, documents, valuable or sentimental items.
Failure to do so may result in limited liability for accidental damage.
Additionally, customers must:
- Provide parking suitable for a medium-sized van. Any fines or parking fees due to insufficient parking are the responsibility of the Customer.
- Ensure the team can start the work at the agreed time and not held up at any point during the cleaning. Waiting time beyond 30 minutes may incur a charge of £25 per person per hour.
Property Condition & Additional Charges
Our quoted prices are based on properties being in a standard, regularly maintained condition. If, upon arrival, the property is found to be significantly dirtier than reasonably expected — including but not limited to heavy build-up of grime, grease, pet hair, mould, or excessive clutter — we reserve the right to apply an adjusted rate or charge an additional fee.
Where an increased charge is not agreed, we may instead adjust the scope of the clean to match the amount paid. This may include limiting the number of rooms or areas cleaned. Any changes to pricing or scope of work will be discussed with the customer before work continues wherever possible.
Smoke & Nicotine Residue
Properties affected by cigarette smoke or nicotine build-up must be disclosed at the time of booking. Such conditions may require additional time, specialist products, and increased charges. Where this has not been disclosed, we reserve the right to revise the price or adjust the scope of work upon arrival.
Key Handling
If keys are provided for access, a signed Key Handling Agreement must be completed, outlining all safety measures.
Where key collection and/or return from a letting agent or third party is required, a fixed fee of £30 will apply.
