Terms and Conditions for Deep Cleaning Kensington
These Terms and Conditions govern the provision of deep cleaning services in Kensington and set out the rights and responsibilities of both the customer and the service provider. By making a booking, confirming an appointment, or allowing work to begin, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms. Please read them carefully before arranging any deep cleaning Kensington service, as they explain how bookings are made, how payments are handled, when cancellations apply, how liability is limited, and how waste is managed in line with applicable rules.
In these terms, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the service provider, and references to “you” or “the customer” mean the person or organisation requesting the cleaning service. These terms apply to domestic and commercial cleaning appointments, subject to any specific written agreement signed by both parties. If any special instructions are agreed before the work starts, they will form part of the contract only if confirmed in writing. These terms are intended to be fair, transparent, and consistent with UK consumer law where applicable.
Our Kensington deep cleaning service is designed to provide a thorough cleaning of agreed areas within the property. The exact scope of work will depend on the quotation, property type, size, condition, and any additional tasks requested by the customer. Unless otherwise stated, the service does not include specialist restoration, structural repairs, pest control, or any work requiring a separate trade qualification. We reserve the right to refuse or limit any task that is unsafe, unlawful, or beyond the scope of the booking.
1. Booking Process
Bookings may be made through the methods made available by us at the time of enquiry. A booking is not confirmed until we have accepted the request and, where required, received the relevant deposit, pre-authorisation, or full payment. Any estimate provided before the booking is confirmed is based on the information supplied by the customer and may change if the property details, access arrangements, or cleaning requirements differ from those initially described. A deep cleaning Kensington booking becomes binding only once confirmation has been issued.
Customers must provide accurate and complete information when booking. This includes the property address, the nature of the premises, parking or access restrictions, the approximate size and condition of the property, and any known hazards such as broken glass, excessive contamination, mould, or biohazard risks. If inaccurate or incomplete information is given, we may revise the price, alter the staffing levels, extend the duration, or cancel the booking if necessary. We may also decline a booking if we consider the requested work unsuitable, unlawful, or unsafe.
The customer is responsible for ensuring that access is available on the agreed date and time. If entry is delayed or prevented because keys, entry codes, permits, or building access are not available, we may charge waiting time or treat the visit as a late cancellation. Where a property has shared access rules, concierge procedures, parking restrictions, or security requirements, the customer must make these clear at the time of booking. Failure to do so may affect the completion of the service.
2. Service Standards and Customer Responsibilities
We will carry out the deep clean service Kensington with reasonable care and skill, using suitable equipment and cleaning products for the surfaces and conditions encountered. The customer acknowledges that deep cleaning is a labour-intensive service and that results may vary depending on the age, material, and pre-existing condition of the property. Staining, long-term discolouration, ingrained dirt, limescale, mould, grease build-up, or wear and tear may not be fully removable without specialist treatment.
Before work begins, the customer should remove or secure valuables, cash, jewellery, important documents, fragile items, and any personal belongings that may be damaged or misplaced during cleaning. We are not responsible for items left in open view or for loss arising from the customer’s failure to safeguard possessions. Where items must be moved in order to clean an area properly, we may do so carefully and in a reasonable manner. However, we are not obliged to move heavy furniture, dangerous items, or anything that could cause injury or damage.
The customer must ensure that the premises are in a condition suitable for cleaning and that all utilities required for the service, such as water, electricity, and lighting, are functioning unless otherwise agreed. If we are unable to operate due to equipment failure, building restrictions, or lack of utilities, the booking may need to be rearranged and additional charges may apply. We also reserve the right to suspend work if we discover hazards such as exposed wiring, unsafe flooring, aggressive animals, or unsanitary conditions that make it unreasonable to continue.
3. Prices and Payments
Prices are usually quoted based on the information provided at the time of enquiry and may be offered as fixed fees, hourly rates, or a combination of both. Unless otherwise stated, quotations are valid for a limited period and may be amended if the scope of work changes before or during the appointment. If extra tasks are requested on-site, or if the condition of the property is materially worse than described, we may revise the price accordingly. Any additional charges will be explained before they are applied where reasonably possible.
Payment terms will be stated at the time of booking or in the invoice. We may require a deposit to secure the appointment, particularly for larger or recurring projects. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all invoices must be paid in full by the date stated on the invoice or immediately upon completion of the service. We may accept certain payment methods at our discretion, but we are under no obligation to accept cash, cheques, or split payments unless we have agreed to do so in advance. Late payments may result in administration charges, interest, or suspension of future services where permitted by law.
If the customer fails to pay any undisputed amount on time, we reserve the right to recover reasonable costs incurred in collecting the debt, including reminder charges, legal fees, and third-party collection expenses, to the extent allowed by law. If a payment is reversed, declined, or charged back without valid grounds, we may suspend services and seek recovery of the amount owed plus any associated bank or administrative costs. All prices are stated inclusive or exclusive of VAT as indicated at the time of quoting.
4. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and No-Shows
We understand that plans can change, and we will try to accommodate reasonable rescheduling requests where possible. However, cancellations and changes made close to the appointment time can cause losses because staff, materials, transport, and scheduling commitments may already have been allocated. If you need to cancel or move a Kensington deep cleaning appointment, please notify us as soon as possible so that we can assess whether any fee applies under the rules below or under any written arrangement that differs from them.
If the customer cancels within a short period before the booking, or fails to provide access on the agreed date and time, a cancellation fee may be charged. The amount of any fee will reflect the costs reasonably incurred by us, including time reserved for the appointment, travel, preparation, and lost trading opportunity. In some cases, where the team has already arrived on site or the work has begun, the full service charge may become payable. Deposits are normally non-refundable where the cancellation is late or the appointment is abandoned without fault on our part.
If we have to cancel due to reasons beyond our control, including staff illness, severe weather, transport disruption, or equipment failure, we will take reasonable steps to offer an alternative appointment. Where no suitable alternative can be arranged, any prepaid amount for the unperformed service will be refunded or credited, at our discretion, except for non-refundable items explicitly agreed in advance. Nothing in these terms affects any statutory rights the customer may have under UK consumer law.
5. Liability and Limitations
We will use reasonable care and skill in performing deep cleaning services Kensington, and we accept responsibility for direct loss or damage caused by our negligence or breach of contract, subject to the limitations set out in these terms. However, we do not exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under English law. These terms must be read subject to mandatory legal rights and protections.
Our liability for loss or damage to property is limited to the reasonable cost of repair or replacement, taking into account depreciation, age, and condition, and only where the loss was directly caused by our negligence. We are not responsible for pre-existing damage, hidden defects, faulty fittings, unstable surfaces, items that are improperly installed, or damage arising from the natural condition of materials. We are also not liable for any indirect, consequential, or economic losses, including loss of profit, loss of opportunity, or business interruption, unless such liability cannot lawfully be excluded.
If you believe damage has occurred, you must notify us as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within a reasonable time after completion of the service. The customer should take photographs, preserve any affected items, and allow us a fair opportunity to inspect the issue before any repairs or disposal take place. Failure to do so may affect our ability to investigate the matter and may reduce or extinguish any entitlement to compensation. Any claim will be assessed on the evidence available.
6. Waste Handling and Regulatory Compliance
The handling and disposal of waste generated during a deep clean Kensington appointment must comply with all applicable UK laws and regulations, including rules relating to controlled waste, recycling, and hazardous materials. In normal circumstances, domestic waste created during cleaning, such as disposable cloths, vacuum contents, packaging, or minor debris removed as part of the service, may be bagged and disposed of in accordance with the customer’s arrangements or local waste rules, provided this is lawful and permitted.
We do not remove, transport, or dispose of regulated, hazardous, or specialist waste unless this has been expressly agreed in writing and we are lawfully able to do so. This includes, without limitation, asbestos, clinical waste, needles, bodily fluids beyond normal cleaning residue, chemicals requiring specialist handling, electrical waste, and materials contaminated to a degree requiring licensed disposal. If such waste is discovered, we may stop work immediately and advise that specialist contractors be engaged. Additional fees may apply if extra handling, segregation, or lawful disposal arrangements are needed.
The customer warrants that any waste or contamination present on the premises has been disclosed accurately and that no unlawful materials will be concealed or mixed with general waste. Where waste transfer documentation, consignment notes, or other records are required by law, the parties will cooperate to ensure compliance. We reserve the right to refuse to move or dispose of items where doing so could breach waste regulations or place our staff at risk. Compliance with environmental and safety obligations is a condition of the service.
7. Insurance, Complaints, and Changes to the Service
We maintain insurance cover appropriate to the nature of our services, but insurance does not create any additional rights beyond those set out in these terms or required by law. If you have a concern about the service, you should raise it promptly so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, take remedial action. Any complaint should include the date of the service, the areas affected, and a clear description of the issue. We will review complaints in a fair and reasonable manner and may request access to inspect the problem before offering a solution.
We may need to make reasonable changes to the service if circumstances on site require it. For example, where a requested task is impractical, unsafe, or inconsistent with the booking information, we may suggest an alternative approach or omit the task from the scope. If a material change is necessary and the customer does not agree to the revised arrangement, either party may end the service for that appointment, subject to payment for work already carried out and any valid cancellation charge. This flexibility helps ensure the deep cleaning Kensington service remains safe and workable.
We may update these terms from time to time. The version in force at the time of booking will generally apply to that booking, unless a change is required by law or a written agreement states otherwise. Any variation agreed between the parties should be recorded in writing. No employee or contractor has authority to alter these terms orally unless confirmed by an authorised representative in writing.
8. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising from them or in connection with them, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Where the customer is a consumer, they may benefit from mandatory protections under applicable consumer legislation and nothing in these terms is intended to remove or limit those rights. If any part of these terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Any dispute that cannot be resolved amicably should, where possible, be handled through the courts of England and Wales, unless mandatory law provides otherwise. The parties agree to act reasonably and in good faith when seeking to resolve disagreements arising from a deep cleaning service Kensington appointment. These terms are drafted to provide clarity on booking, payment, cancellation, liability, waste, and other operational matters so that both parties understand their responsibilities from the outset.
