Terms and Conditions for Cleaners Uxbridge
These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Cleaners Uxbridge, referred to in this document as “the Company”, provides domestic and commercial cleaning services to customers in the United Kingdom. By making a booking, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms, together with any service-specific instructions confirmed at the time of booking. These terms are intended to provide clarity on the booking process, payment obligations, cancellations, liability, waste handling, and the legal framework governing the agreement.
The Company provides cleaning services with reasonable care and skill and in accordance with the information supplied by the customer. The exact scope of work may vary depending on the type of cleaning requested, the condition of the premises, the availability of access, and any special instructions or restrictions communicated before the service begins. Customers are encouraged to read these terms carefully before confirming any appointment for Uxbridge cleaners or related cleaning services.
For the purposes of these terms, references to “you”, “your”, or “the customer” mean the person or business making the booking, and references to “we”, “us”, or “our” mean the Company. If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply in full. Nothing in these terms affects any statutory rights that cannot be limited or excluded under UK law.
1. Booking Process
All bookings are subject to availability and acceptance by the Company. A booking is only considered confirmed once the customer has provided the necessary service details and the Company has acknowledged the appointment. Depending on the nature of the job, the Company may request information such as the property type, number of rooms, approximate size, condition, cleaning priorities, parking arrangements, access instructions, and whether any materials or equipment are required.
Where a quotation is provided, it may be based on the information available at the time and may be adjusted if the actual service differs from what was described. This is especially relevant for cleaners in Uxbridge working on properties where the level of dirt, clutter, or specialist treatment needed cannot be fully assessed in advance. Any price estimate given before inspection is not a fixed final price unless expressly stated in writing.
The customer must ensure that all information provided during the booking process is accurate and complete. If incorrect or incomplete information is supplied and this affects the length, cost, or feasibility of the service, the Company may revise the quotation, shorten the appointment, or decline to carry out certain tasks. The Company reserves the right to refuse a booking where the requested work is unsafe, unlawful, outside the scope of services offered, or impractical under the circumstances.
2. Service Standards and Access
The Company will use reasonable care and skill in delivering the agreed cleaning service. However, results may vary according to materials, stains, surface condition, age of fittings, and prior maintenance. The customer acknowledges that certain marks, damage, or deterioration may not be removable by standard cleaning methods. Unless separately agreed, the Company does not guarantee the restoration of surfaces to a like-new condition.
The customer must provide safe, timely, and suitable access to the property at the scheduled time. If our cleaners Uxbridge are unable to gain access because of missing keys, incorrect codes, locked premises, unavailable occupants, or other access issues, the appointment may be charged in full or in part. The Company will not be responsible for delays caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including traffic disruption, adverse weather, illness, or emergency service restrictions.
The customer is responsible for ensuring that the working environment is reasonably safe. This includes informing the Company of any known hazards, such as broken fittings, exposed wiring, contamination, infestations, sharp objects, aggressive animals, or substances that may present health and safety risks. Where a property is considered unsafe, the Company may suspend or terminate the service without liability for any resulting inconvenience or loss.
3. Payments and Charges
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment terms will be stated at the time of booking or on the invoice. The Company may require a deposit, advance payment, or payment upon completion depending on the type and scale of the service. Accepted payment methods may include bank transfer, card payment, or other approved means notified to the customer in advance. Cash payments may be accepted only if expressly agreed.
All prices are quoted in pounds sterling and, where applicable, may be subject to VAT or other taxes in accordance with the law. If the customer requests extra work, additional rooms, specialist treatment, or extended attendance beyond the original booking, the Company may charge for the added time and materials at the rates communicated at the time. Charges may also apply where the appointment is delayed by the customer or where the team must remain on site because of access or instruction issues.
Invoices must be paid by the due date stated on the invoice or booking confirmation. If payment is not made on time, the Company may charge reasonable late-payment fees and recover any costs incurred in collecting the debt, to the extent permitted by law. The Company may suspend further services until outstanding sums are settled in full. Ownership of any supplied materials remains with the Company until payment is received in full, where applicable.
4. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Non-Attendance
The customer may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving reasonable notice. Unless a different cancellation policy has been confirmed at the time of booking, the Company requests at least 24 hours’ notice for standard appointments and longer notice for larger or specialist jobs. Where sufficient notice is not provided, a cancellation charge may apply to reflect reserved time, travel preparation, and lost opportunity to allocate the slot elsewhere.
If the customer is not present at the agreed time, cannot provide access, or does not provide the information necessary to complete the booking, the Company may treat the appointment as a late cancellation or failed visit. In such cases, the customer may still be liable for the full fee or for a portion of it, depending on the circumstances and any costs already incurred. This policy is designed to ensure fair treatment for both parties and to protect scheduled service capacity.
The Company may also reschedule or cancel a booking due to staff illness, equipment failure, unsafe conditions, or events beyond its reasonable control. In that event, the Company will make reasonable efforts to offer an alternative date and time. Except where the law requires otherwise, the Company’s liability for cancellation will be limited to the amount paid for the affected service, and the Company will not be liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from the cancellation or rescheduling.
5. Liability and Limitations
The Company accepts responsibility for loss or damage caused directly by its negligence or that of its employees while carrying out the agreed service, but only to the extent permitted by law. The Company shall not be liable for pre-existing damage, wear and tear, hidden defects, or damage resulting from unsuitable materials, faulty fixtures, or inaccurate information supplied by the customer. The customer is encouraged to remove or secure fragile, valuable, or irreplaceable items before the service begins.
Where the customer asks the Company to move items, use ladders, handle electrical appliances, clean delicate materials, or work in restricted areas, the work will be carried out only if the task appears reasonably safe and within the competence of the team. The Company may refuse to proceed with any task it considers unsafe. The Company will not accept liability for damage caused by unstable objects, poorly maintained fittings, inaccessible pipework, concealed hazards, or items that were not reasonably visible at the time of service.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law. If the Company is found liable for any claim arising from the service, its total liability will, so far as permitted by law, be limited to the total price paid or payable for the specific service giving rise to the claim. Customers must notify the Company of any alleged issue within a reasonable time after the service is completed.
6. Waste Regulations and Disposal
The Company will handle waste in accordance with applicable UK waste management rules and environmental obligations. Ordinary cleaning waste generated during the service, such as dust, packaging, disposable cloths, and minor residue, may be bagged and left in the customer’s designated bins where appropriate and permitted. The customer is responsible for ensuring that suitable waste storage and disposal arrangements are available on the property.
The Company does not remove hazardous, clinical, infectious, asbestos-related, or regulated waste unless this has been expressly agreed in writing and the Company is legally permitted and equipped to do so. Examples include paint, chemicals, needles, bodily fluids, contaminated materials, and electronic waste that requires specialist handling. If such materials are discovered during a booking, the Company may stop work in the affected area and notify the customer that specialist disposal may be required.
Customers must disclose any waste issues, contamination, pests, or substances that may affect safe cleaning or disposal. If the customer requests the removal or handling of items that fall within regulated waste categories, the customer remains responsible for ensuring lawful disposal and for paying any associated third-party charges. The Company will not knowingly breach waste regulations, and it may refuse any instruction that would place it in violation of environmental, health, or safety law.
7. Customer Responsibilities
The customer must secure pets, children, and valuables and ensure that the property is ready for the service at the agreed time. This includes removing obstructions where necessary, providing running water and electricity, and ensuring that the areas to be cleaned are reasonably accessible. If the property contains items requiring special handling, the customer should give clear written or verbal instructions before the service starts.
Customers must not ask the Company to carry out illegal work, unsafe tasks, or activities that would breach landlord, leasehold, insurance, or building-management requirements. Any instructions that conflict with law, safety rules, or reasonable service limits may be declined. Where the service is based on a key-holding arrangement or unattended access, the customer remains responsible for making sure the property is suitable for entry and that access arrangements are correct.
The customer agrees to inspect the completed work within a reasonable time and raise any concerns promptly. If the customer fails to notify the Company of a problem in a timely manner, it may be difficult to verify the issue or determine the cause. This does not affect any rights the customer may have under consumer law, but timely communication helps ensure fair assessment and resolution.
8. Complaints and Remedies
If the customer is dissatisfied with any aspect of the service, they should notify the Company as soon as reasonably possible, providing relevant details and, where appropriate, photographs or supporting information. The Company may offer to revisit the property, correct the issue, or discuss another suitable remedy. Any remedy will depend on the nature of the complaint and whether the issue arises from the Company’s performance or from factors outside its control.
The Company will assess complaints fairly and in good faith. Remedies may include a re-clean, partial refund, or other proportionate solution, at the Company’s discretion and subject to legal requirements. The Company will not be obliged to provide a remedy where the issue arose because of inaccurate instructions, unreasonable expectations, failure to prepare the property, or circumstances not caused by the Company.
Nothing in this section limits any mandatory consumer rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or other applicable legislation. Customers using cleaners in Uxbridge are entitled to services performed with reasonable care and skill, but they are also expected to cooperate in the assessment of any complaint and to mitigate any loss where possible.
9. Governing Law and General Provisions
These Terms and Conditions and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where a customer living in Scotland or Northern Ireland may have additional rights under mandatory consumer legislation or where another jurisdiction is required by law.
If the Company does not insist immediately on strict performance of any provision, that will not mean it has waived its right to do so later. Any waiver must be confirmed in writing to be effective. The Company may update these terms from time to time, and the version in force at the time of booking will apply to that booking unless a later change is required by law or agreed in writing.
By placing a booking with Cleaners Uxbridge, the customer confirms that they have read, understood, and accepted these Terms and Conditions. These terms are intended to create a fair and practical framework for the provision of professional cleaning services, while respecting the rights and responsibilities of both the customer and the Company.
