Uxbridge Cleaners Terms and Conditions
These Uxbridge cleaners terms and conditions set out the basis on which our domestic and commercial cleaning services are provided in the UK. By making a booking, confirming an appointment, or allowing our team to begin work, you agree to these terms. They are intended to be fair, clear, and practical, while protecting both the customer and the service provider. In these terms, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the cleaning service provider, and references to “you” and “your” mean the customer or person placing the booking.
Scope of service. Our services may include regular cleaning, one-off cleaning, deep cleaning, end of tenancy cleaning, specialist room cleaning, and related domestic or commercial cleaning tasks agreed in advance. The exact service package, date, time, duration, and any special instructions will be confirmed at the time of booking. We will provide the service with reasonable care and skill, but the specific results achievable may depend on the condition of the property, access, the materials present, and the time allocated. Any quotation or estimate is based on the information supplied by you and may be adjusted if the actual work differs materially from that description.
Booking process. A booking is generally made once you request a service and we confirm availability. We may ask for details such as property type, room count, cleaning priorities, parking or access arrangements, and any items requiring special treatment. Your booking may be accepted verbally, by email, through an online form, or by any other written confirmation method we use. It is your responsibility to ensure all booking information is accurate and complete. If we identify that the service required is different from the booked service, we may revise the price, adjust the time required, or decline to proceed if the work is unsuitable for the booked appointment.
We may allocate a team member or a team to carry out the work. Any arrival window or appointment time is provided in good faith, but occasional delays may occur because of traffic, earlier job overruns, access difficulties, weather, or other operational issues. If we anticipate a significant delay, we will aim to notify you as soon as reasonably possible. You must ensure that access is available at the agreed time and that someone authorised to grant access is present if required. Where keys, codes, fobs, or alarms are provided to us, you must supply them in working order and ensure that their use is authorised.
Where a booking is made for a property that is occupied, you are responsible for securing pets, removing personal valuables from areas to be cleaned where appropriate, and advising us of any fragile items, hazardous materials, or restricted zones. If the property is vacant, you must make sure that access arrangements are reliable and that utilities necessary for the service, such as water and electricity, are available unless otherwise agreed. We may refuse to carry out any task that we reasonably consider unsafe, illegal, overly hazardous, or outside the agreed scope of a cleaning service.
By confirming the booking, you authorise us to carry out the agreed work and, where relevant, to use reasonable professional discretion in selecting cleaning methods and products suitable for the surfaces being cleaned. However, where you require a particular product or method, you must inform us in advance. Any instruction that conflicts with manufacturer guidance, health and safety requirements, or the proper use of equipment may be declined. Our Uxbridge cleaning services are designed to be delivered efficiently and safely, but they depend on the information and cooperation provided by you.
Payments and pricing. Our prices may be fixed, hourly, or based on a quotation for the specified scope of work. Unless stated otherwise, all prices are in pounds sterling and may be subject to VAT where applicable. The amount payable will be the price confirmed at booking or, if the work changes, the revised price agreed with you. Any estimate is not a guarantee of the final cost where the property condition, access, or requested tasks differ from the original description. Additional charges may apply for extra time, specialist equipment, heavy soiling, late changes, parking costs, congestion charges, or other clearly disclosed expenses.
Payment is due on the date specified in the booking confirmation or immediately upon completion if that is the agreed arrangement. We may require a deposit to secure certain bookings, including high-demand appointments or larger projects. Deposits may be non-refundable except where we cancel or where consumer law requires otherwise. We may accept payment by bank transfer, card, cash, direct debit, or another method specified by us. If payment is made by bank transfer, you must ensure cleared funds are received by the due date. Failure to pay on time may result in suspension of future bookings, interest, or recovery action where permitted by law.
Late payment and failed transactions. If a payment fails, is reversed, or is disputed without valid reason, we may contact you to request immediate rectification. We may charge reasonable administrative costs arising from failed transactions or chargeback disputes that are not properly justified. We reserve the right to withhold future services until outstanding sums are paid in full. If you dispute an invoice, you must tell us promptly and explain the basis of the dispute. Undisputed amounts remain payable by the due date. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you may have under applicable UK consumer protection law.
Cancellations, rescheduling, and access issues
You may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving us notice within the period stated in the booking confirmation. Unless a different timeframe is stated, we ask that you provide at least 24 hours’ notice for standard appointments and as much notice as reasonably possible for larger or specialist jobs. If you cancel with insufficient notice, we may charge a cancellation fee to cover lost time, staff allocation, and any non-recoverable costs already incurred. For bookings requiring a deposit, the deposit may be retained where the cancellation falls within the agreed non-refundable period.
If our team arrives and cannot gain access because of incorrect details, missed arrangements, locked premises, unavailable keys, inaccessible parking where necessary, or no authorised person being present, we may charge the full or partial appointment fee. If the appointment cannot proceed for reasons beyond our control, including unsafe conditions, lack of utilities, or a failure to disclose important information, we may treat this as a late cancellation. In such circumstances, any allocated time may still be chargeable. We will act reasonably and proportionately when deciding whether a fee applies.
We also reserve the right to reschedule or cancel a booking if staff become unavailable, equipment fails, weather or travel conditions are severe, or there is a health and safety issue. In such cases, we will use reasonable efforts to offer an alternative appointment. If we cancel and cannot reasonably rearrange, we will refund any amount already paid for the cancelled service, subject to any work already completed. We are not responsible for any indirect losses arising from rescheduling, provided we have acted with reasonable care and within these terms.
Customer responsibilities. You must ensure that the premises are safe for the work to be carried out. This includes warning us about broken fittings, exposed wiring, unstable surfaces, wet floors, hidden damage, mould, sharps, bodily fluids, pests, or any other condition that could make the cleaning unsafe. You must also tell us about surfaces or items that are delicate, antique, specialist, or prone to damage. Where you ask us to clean a stain, mark, or appliance, you accept that some materials and residues may not be fully removable and that visible improvement may be limited by the item’s condition.
We may move lightweight objects only as needed to complete the agreed service, but we are not obliged to move heavy furniture, lift flooring, dismantle fixtures, or handle items that are valuable, unsafe, or potentially fragile unless this has been expressly agreed in advance. Please remove cash, jewellery, documents, and other valuables from areas to be cleaned. Although our staff are expected to act honestly and professionally, we do not accept responsibility for items left unsecured in plain view unless a loss is directly caused by our proven negligence. Where keys are entrusted to us, we will take reasonable care in handling and storage.
Health and safety. Our staff may refuse to use products or equipment supplied by you if they consider them unsuitable, unsafe, expired, or lacking instructions. If you request the use of a chemical, disinfectant, or product outside our normal range, you must provide full details of its intended use and any known warnings. We may wear protective equipment or stop work if conditions are unhealthy or hazardous. If we believe there is a material risk to staff, property, or occupants, we may suspend the service until the issue is resolved.
Liability and service standards
We will provide the service with reasonable care and skill consistent with a professional cleaning company. If we fail to do so, we may at our option re-perform the affected part of the service, reduce the charge, or offer another appropriate remedy where reasonably possible. You must notify us of any issue within a reasonable time after the service is completed and before items have been moved, altered, or cleaned by someone else. We may inspect the area concerned and, where appropriate, ask for photographs or other evidence to assess the issue.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for losses that are indirect, incidental, or consequential, including loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, or loss arising from delayed occupation, unless such loss is caused by our negligence or breach of these terms and is otherwise recoverable under law. 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 lawfully be excluded under UK law. Where liability is lawfully limited, our total liability shall not exceed the amount paid for the service giving rise to the claim or such other limit as is permitted by law.
Damage claims. If you believe damage has occurred during the service, you must tell us as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within 48 hours, unless a longer period is required by law. You should provide details of the item, the nature of the damage, and any supporting evidence. We are not responsible for pre-existing defects, normal wear and tear, hidden weakness in materials, items that deteriorate due to age, or damage caused by unsuitable instructions or failure to disclose relevant information. We will not be liable where reasonable care was taken and the damage arose from the inherent condition of the item or surface.
Waste regulations and disposal. We comply with applicable UK waste handling requirements when collecting, bagging, or removing routine cleaning waste arising from the service. Unless otherwise agreed, we will only remove ordinary household or commercial cleaning waste directly generated in the course of the booked service, and we will dispose of it in a lawful and responsible manner. We do not collect controlled waste, clinical waste, asbestos, sharps, chemicals, biohazards, large bulky waste, or other regulated materials unless a specific lawful arrangement has been agreed in writing and appropriate handling is available.
You must not ask us to remove waste that requires a specialist licence, transport arrangement, or disposal route unless this has been pre-arranged and expressly confirmed. If we encounter waste that appears hazardous, illegally dumped, or unsafe to handle, we may leave it in place and record the issue. Where we remove waste on your instruction, you confirm that you have the authority to arrange its removal and that it is lawfully present on the premises. We may refuse or stop work if waste conditions could expose staff to risk or create a breach of environmental, health, or safety law.
Any packaging, disposable materials, or debris created during normal cleaning may be collected and disposed of by us if this is part of the agreed service. However, waste segregation, recycling, and specialist disposal obligations remain subject to applicable law and local collection rules. We may charge additional fees for unusually high waste volumes or for services requiring extended disposal time. These measures are intended to ensure our cleaning services remain compliant, efficient, and responsible in line with current UK requirements.
Complaints, data, and termination
If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of the service, please notify us promptly with enough detail for us to investigate. We may request access to the relevant area or item, and in some cases may offer a revisit, partial refund, or other fair resolution. We aim to handle concerns proportionately and within a reasonable time. Failure to raise a complaint promptly may make it harder to assess what occurred and may limit the remedies available, though your statutory rights remain unaffected.
We may end or suspend services immediately if you behave abusively, threaten staff, repeatedly fail to pay, provide false information, or create unsafe working conditions. We may also terminate an ongoing arrangement if continuing would breach the law, place staff at risk, or become commercially unworkable because of repeated access failures or persistent non-cooperation. If we terminate due to your serious breach, you remain liable for services already delivered and reasonable costs incurred before termination.
Data protection. We may hold your name, address, contact details, booking history, payment records, access instructions, and service notes for operational and legal purposes. We will process personal data in accordance with applicable UK data protection laws and only for legitimate service-related purposes, such as scheduling, invoicing, and record keeping. We do not sell your information. Further detail may be provided in a separate privacy notice where applicable, but these terms should be read as part of the overall service agreement.
Governing law and general terms
Governing law. These terms and any dispute or claim arising from them, whether contractual or non-contractual, 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 consumer law grants you the right to bring proceedings in another part of the UK. If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force to the extent permitted by law.
We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in law, business practice, or service delivery. The version in force at the time of your booking will apply to that booking unless a change is required by law or is otherwise agreed. No waiver of any right or remedy shall be effective unless communicated in writing, and any delay in enforcing a term shall not prevent later enforcement. These terms, together with the booking confirmation and any agreed written amendments, form the entire agreement between you and us in relation to the relevant service.
By continuing to use our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted these Uxbridge cleaners service terms. These terms are intended to support transparent, lawful, and dependable cleaning arrangements while allowing reasonable flexibility in the practical delivery of each job. If a specific service instruction, quotation note, or written addendum conflicts with these terms, the more specific written agreement will apply to the extent of that conflict, provided it is lawful. In all other respects, these terms remain applicable to every booking made with us.
