Cleaners W8 Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Cleaners W8 provides domestic and commercial cleaning services in the United Kingdom. By making a booking, confirming a service request, or allowing a cleaner to begin work, the customer agrees to these terms. They are intended to create a clear and fair agreement for both parties, covering the booking process, payments, cancellations, liability, waste handling, and the legal framework that applies to the service.

In these terms, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean Cleaners W8, and references to “you” and “your” mean the person, business, or organisation booking the service. These terms apply to all standard cleaning appointments, one-off jobs, recurring arrangements, and any additional services agreed in advance. They should be read together with any service description, quotation, or written confirmation provided before the appointment.

By continuing with a booking, you confirm that you are authorised to enter into an agreement for the premises and that the information you provide is accurate and complete. We aim to deliver a professional cleaning service with reasonable care and skill, but service outcomes may depend on the condition of the property, access, and the materials available on site.

1. Booking Process

Bookings may be made through the methods we make available from time to time, including by phone, online form, or written request. A booking is not final until it has been accepted by us and, where required, any deposit or advance payment has been received. We may request details about the property, the type of cleaning required, the preferred date and time, and any special instructions that are relevant to the job.

All bookings are subject to availability. We will use reasonable efforts to accommodate preferred dates, but we do not guarantee that every requested slot will be available. A quotation or estimate is based on the information supplied at the time of booking. If the actual condition of the property differs significantly from the description provided, we reserve the right to amend the price, adjust the expected duration, or decline to proceed if the service would be unsafe, impractical, or outside the agreed scope.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the property is accessible at the agreed time. This includes providing keys, access codes, parking information where relevant, and any other practical arrangements needed for entry. If access is not available, the appointment may be treated as a late cancellation or failed visit. Any additional time spent waiting, returning, or rearranging access may be chargeable at the applicable rate.

2. Service Standards and Customer Responsibilities

We will provide our services with reasonable care, skill, and professionalism, using cleaning methods and products appropriate to the agreed task. However, a cleaning company cannot guarantee the removal of every stain, mark, odour, or defect, especially where surfaces are delicate, aged, stained over time, or already damaged. Some materials may react unpredictably to water, detergents, heat, or agitation, and you acknowledge that certain results depend on the condition of the property rather than the cleaning effort alone.

You are responsible for removing or securing items of value, confidential documents, fragile objects, and any items that could be damaged by normal cleaning activity. We may move lightweight items to clean beneath or behind them, but we are not obliged to shift heavy furniture, fixed installations, electrical equipment, or items that could be unsafe to move. If you want specific items left untouched, you must notify us before the service begins.

You must also inform us in advance of any hazards that may affect the work, including but not limited to broken glass, exposed wiring, mould, infestation, severe contamination, bodily fluids, or restricted access areas. We may refuse or suspend work where conditions are unsafe. If specialist equipment, protective gear, or additional time is needed because of the state of the premises, we may charge extra or alter the appointment terms.

Prices may be quoted as fixed fees, hourly rates, or a combination of both, depending on the service type. Unless stated otherwise, all charges are in pounds sterling and may be subject to VAT where applicable. We reserve the right to amend pricing for future bookings, but any confirmed booking will normally be charged at the rate agreed at the time of acceptance, unless the scope of work changes materially.

Payment is due in accordance with the terms confirmed at booking. In many cases, payment will be required on completion of the service, but we may request prepayment, part payment, or a deposit for larger, recurring, or high-demand appointments. If payment is made by bank transfer, card, or another approved method, it must be cleared promptly. We do not accept responsibility for delays caused by your payment provider.

Where the actual service time exceeds the estimated duration because of additional tasks, restricted access, excessive dirt, or changes requested by you during the visit, additional time may be charged. Any extra materials, specialist products, parking charges, or disposal costs agreed in advance may also be added to the final invoice. If an invoice is not paid by the due date, we may charge reasonable administrative costs and interest to the extent permitted by law.

4. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Missed Appointments

You may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving reasonable notice. The amount of notice required may depend on the type of service and whether staff, transport, or equipment have already been allocated. Unless otherwise agreed, cancellations made at short notice may incur a fee to reflect costs already incurred and the loss of the reserved time slot.

If you cancel too close to the appointment time, if access is not provided, or if the property is not ready for the service to begin, we may treat this as a late cancellation or a failed visit. In such cases, a portion of the booking fee, or the full amount where justified by the circumstances, may remain payable. This is especially relevant where the cleaner has travelled to the site and is unable to proceed through no fault of our own.

We may also reschedule or cancel a booking where necessary for operational, safety, staffing, weather-related, or technical reasons. If we do so, we will aim to give you as much notice as reasonably possible and, where practical, offer an alternative appointment. Our responsibility in such situations will generally be limited to rearranging the service or refunding any amount paid for work not carried out.

We accept liability for loss or damage only where it is caused by our negligence, breach of contract, or failure to exercise reasonable care and skill. If damage occurs, you must notify us within a reasonable time and provide evidence where possible, including photographs and a description of the item or surface affected. This helps us assess the issue fairly and promptly.

Our liability will not extend to pre-existing damage, wear and tear, hidden defects, or damage arising from unsuitable materials, inadequate maintenance, or items that were already weakened before the service began. We are not responsible for loss caused by your failure to give accurate information, secure valuables, or remove prohibited items from the area being cleaned. Where a claim is valid, our liability may be limited to the cost of repair, replacement, or the value of the service fee, depending on the nature of the loss and any insurance arrangements available.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded under UK law. Your statutory rights, where applicable, are not affected by these terms. Any attempt to create an unfair restriction on consumer rights will not be applied to the extent that it would be unlawful.

6. Waste Regulations and Disposal

We operate in line with relevant UK waste and environmental requirements. During cleaning, some waste may be collected in bins, bags, or containers provided on site, but we are not a general waste removal business unless this has been specifically agreed in writing. You remain responsible for arranging disposal of household or commercial waste unless our service description expressly includes collection or disposal.

Where we handle waste as part of the service, it must be legal, safe, and suitable for routine disposal. We will not remove hazardous substances, clinical waste, asbestos, sharps, chemical waste, or any other regulated material unless we have expressly agreed in advance and are legally permitted to do so. If such materials are discovered, we may stop work in the affected area and report the issue to you so that a proper disposal arrangement can be made.

We expect customers to ensure that the property does not contain prohibited materials in areas being cleaned, and that any waste streams are separated where required by law. If a booking involves strong contamination, biohazards, or heavy soiling that may trigger specialist disposal duties, the service may need to be reclassified, priced separately, or declined. This approach helps protect health, safety, and compliance with environmental obligations.

You are responsible for ensuring the premises are in a suitable condition for the service to take place. This includes reasonable temperature, lighting, water supply, electricity supply, and safe access to the working areas. If these conditions are not met, we may be unable to complete the booking or may need to adapt the service, which may affect the price or duration.

Unless we agree otherwise, we provide standard cleaning equipment and products appropriate to the booking. If you request that we use your own equipment or materials, you do so at your own risk unless any issue is caused by our misuse or negligence. We may decline to use products that appear unsafe, unsuitable, expired, or inconsistent with the intended cleaning task. We also reserve the right to decline products that could damage surfaces, release harmful fumes, or compromise our staff’s safety.

If any special preparation is required before our arrival, such as clearing access routes, removing breakables, or disconnecting certain items, you must complete that preparation in good time. Failure to do so may prevent the service from being delivered properly and could result in additional charges or an incomplete appointment. We will not be liable for reduced service quality caused by avoidable site conditions.

8. Complaints, Variations, and Changes to Terms

If you are dissatisfied with any part of the service, you should notify us as soon as reasonably possible so that the matter can be reviewed. Where appropriate, we may offer a re-clean, correction, or other remedy at our discretion, depending on the circumstances and the nature of the issue. Complaints must relate to the actual service provided and should not be based on expectations that were not part of the agreed arrangement.

Any variation to the booking, such as adding rooms, extending the duration, or changing the cleaning specification, must be agreed by both parties. A verbal request made during the visit may be treated as a request for extra services and billed accordingly. We may update these terms from time to time, and the version in force at the time of booking will apply unless a later version has been expressly agreed.

If any part of these terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. No waiver of any term will operate as a continuing waiver unless confirmed by us in writing. These terms are intended to be interpreted in a practical manner that supports fair performance of the service and compliance with applicable law.

9. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising from them or in connection with them, are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The parties agree that the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction, except where consumer law requires otherwise.

By booking with Cleaners W8, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms. They form the legal basis of the service relationship and apply alongside any written quotation or confirmation. Our goal is to provide a reliable cleaning service with clear expectations, responsible conduct, and fair allocation of risk for both sides.

These terms are designed to support a professional cleaning company arrangement while keeping the rules straightforward and lawful. If a situation arises that is not expressly covered here, we will act reasonably and in good faith, taking into account the agreed scope of work, the safety of those involved, and the rights and obligations created by UK law.
