Cleaning Service Terms and Conditions

Introduction

These Terms and Conditions set out the agreement between Lucy Cleaners and its clients for the provision of cleaning services within the service area. By booking or using any service provided by Lucy Cleaners, you agree to be bound by these terms. They are designed to ensure clarity, fairness, and a professional standard of service for all parties.

Lucy Cleaners operates as a professional cleaning company, offering a range of residential and commercial cleaning services. These terms apply to all bookings unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Booking Process

All bookings must be made in advance and are subject to availability. Clients are required to provide accurate details about the property, including size, condition, and type of cleaning required. This information allows Lucy Cleaners to allocate appropriate time, staff, and equipment for the job.

Once a booking is confirmed, a service date and time will be agreed. Lucy Cleaners will make reasonable efforts to attend at the scheduled time, but cannot guarantee exact arrival times due to traffic, prior jobs, or unforeseen delays.

Any changes to the booking, including scope of work or timing, must be communicated as early as possible. Adjustments may affect pricing or availability.

Access to Property

The client is responsible for providing safe and adequate access to the property at the agreed time. If access cannot be gained, the appointment may be cancelled and a charge may apply.

It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that the property is in a condition suitable for cleaning. This includes removing personal items, securing valuables, and ensuring that utilities such as water and electricity are available where required.

Payments

Payment terms will be agreed at the time of booking. Lucy Cleaners may require full payment in advance or payment upon completion of the service, depending on the type of work.

All prices are based on the information provided by the client. If the condition of the property differs significantly from the description given, Lucy Cleaners reserves the right to adjust the price accordingly.

Payments must be made promptly in accordance with the agreed terms. Failure to do so may result in additional charges or refusal of future services.

Cancellations and Rescheduling

Clients may cancel or reschedule a booking by providing reasonable notice. Notice periods may vary depending on the type of service booked.

Late cancellations or missed appointments may incur a cancellation fee to cover time and resources allocated to the booking. Lucy Cleaners will aim to be fair and reasonable in applying such charges.

In the event that Lucy Cleaners needs to cancel or reschedule a booking due to unforeseen circumstances, reasonable notice will be given where possible, and an alternative appointment will be offered.

Scope of Services

The services provided will be agreed in advance and carried out according to the details confirmed at the time of booking. Lucy Cleaners will use reasonable skill and care in delivering all services.

Any additional work requested on the day may be subject to availability and additional charges. Clients are encouraged to clearly outline all requirements during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

Client Responsibilities

The client is responsible for ensuring that the property is safe for cleaning staff to enter and work in. This includes identifying any hazards, securing pets, and informing Lucy Cleaners of any specific risks.

Clients must ensure that all instructions regarding the service are accurate and complete. Lucy Cleaners cannot be held responsible for issues arising from incomplete or incorrect information provided by the client.

Liability

Lucy Cleaners takes care to provide a high standard of service. However, liability is limited to the value of the service provided. Any damage or issues must be reported within a reasonable time following completion of the service.

Lucy Cleaners will not be liable for pre-existing damage, wear and tear, or items that are not suitable for cleaning. Certain materials and surfaces may react differently to cleaning products, and while care is taken, no guarantee can be given for all outcomes.

Clients are advised to inform Lucy Cleaners of any delicate or valuable items prior to cleaning. Where necessary, such items should be removed or protected by the client.

Insurance

Lucy Cleaners operates with appropriate insurance cover, including public liability insurance and goods in transit insurance. This provides protection in the event of accidental damage caused during the cleaning process.

Insurance cover is subject to policy terms and conditions, and claims will be handled in accordance with those provisions.

Waste Regulations

Lucy Cleaners complies with relevant waste handling and disposal regulations. Any waste generated during cleaning will be managed responsibly and, where appropriate, disposed of through approved channels.

Clients remain responsible for the lawful disposal of any items not directly related to the cleaning service. Lucy Cleaners does not provide removal of large waste or hazardous materials unless specifically agreed.

Where waste removal is included as part of a service, it will be handled in accordance with applicable environmental and regulatory requirements.

Health and Safety

Lucy Cleaners follows general health and safety practices to ensure a safe working environment for both clients and staff. This includes the correct use of equipment and cleaning products.

Clients must inform Lucy Cleaners of any specific health or safety considerations, including allergies, hazards, or restrictions within the property.

Environmental Responsibility

Lucy Cleaners aims to carry out services in a responsible manner, including the use of appropriate cleaning products and methods. While effective cleaning is the priority, consideration is given to minimising environmental impact where possible.

Where practical, waste is reduced and recyclable materials are handled appropriately. This approach supports responsible cleaning practices across the service area.

Complaints and Feedback

If a client is not satisfied with the service provided, they should raise the issue within a reasonable time after the service is completed. Lucy Cleaners will aim to address concerns promptly and fairly.

In some cases, a return visit may be offered to rectify any issues. The outcome will depend on the nature of the complaint and the circumstances involved.

Changes to Terms

Lucy Cleaners reserves the right to update these Terms and Conditions as necessary. Any changes will apply to future bookings and will not affect services already confirmed unless agreed otherwise.

Clients are encouraged to review these terms periodically to ensure they are aware of any updates.

Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising in connection with these terms or the services provided shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

Conclusion
