Terms and Conditions for Deep Cleaning Lambeth Services

These Terms and Conditions govern the provision of deep cleaning services offered under the name Deep Cleaning Lambeth. By making a booking, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms, which are designed to create a clear, fair, and workable agreement for both parties. These terms apply to all domestic and commercial deep clean appointments unless a separate written agreement has been made. For the purposes of this document, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the service provider, and references to “you” and “your” mean the customer placing the order.

Deep cleaning is a detailed cleaning service that may include a wider range of tasks than routine maintenance cleaning. Depending on the booked service and the condition of the premises, it may involve heavy-duty cleaning of kitchens, bathrooms, appliances, floors, skirting boards, fixtures, fittings, and other specified areas. Any quotation, estimate, or service description is based on the information supplied by you at the time of booking. If the property condition differs materially from what was described, the scope, duration, and price may need to be adjusted.

These terms should be read alongside any written booking confirmation, job specification, or cleaning checklist issued to you. If there is any inconsistency, the written booking confirmation or agreed job specification will normally take priority for operational matters, provided it does not conflict with these terms. We reserve the right to refuse, suspend, or withdraw services where it is reasonable to do so, including where the property is unsafe, unsanitary beyond the agreed scope, or where access arrangements are unsuitable.

All bookings are subject to availability, acceptance, and confirmation by us. A booking request does not constitute an automatic contract until it has been accepted and confirmed. Confirmation may be made in writing, by email, by message, or through another recorded method. You are responsible for ensuring that all booking information is accurate, complete, and up to date. This includes the property address, type of premises, number of rooms, access instructions, parking restrictions, alarm details, and any special requirements that may affect the performance of the service.

Before attending the property, we may ask for further information to assess the suitability of the job and allocate the appropriate cleaning team, equipment, and time. If inaccurate or incomplete information results in additional labour, specialist products, or extended time on site, we may revise the price accordingly. We may also request photographs or a brief description of the areas to be cleaned to better understand the expected workload. Such information is used solely for operational purposes and to help ensure the service is delivered efficiently.

Where an appointment time is given, it is intended as an estimated arrival window unless expressly stated otherwise. While every effort is made to arrive on time, delays may occur due to traffic, weather, access problems, or prior job overruns. We will take reasonable steps to notify you of substantial delays. You agree to provide reasonable access to the property at the scheduled time. If access is not provided, or if we are prevented from carrying out the service, the booking may be treated as a late cancellation or wasted visit, and charges may apply.

Prices may be quoted as fixed rates, minimum charges, hourly rates, or bespoke estimates depending on the nature of the work. Unless expressly stated, all prices are exclusive of any applicable VAT or other taxes. A quotation is valid only for the period stated, or if no period is stated, for a reasonable time. We reserve the right to amend a quote before acceptance if the original information provided was misleading, incomplete, or materially different from the actual condition of the property.

Payment terms will be set out at the time of booking or in the confirmation. In many cases, payment is due on completion of the service, although advance payment, part-payment, or a deposit may be required for larger, high-demand, or commercial deep cleaning appointments. Where a deposit is required, the booking may not be secured until the deposit is received. Failure to pay any deposit or prepayment by the stated deadline may result in the booking being cancelled.

You must make payment using the method agreed at booking. If payment is not received when due, we may pause or withhold completion certificates, invoices marked as paid, or any related documentation until full payment is made. Where a payment is reversed, declined, or charged back without valid reason, we may recover the amount owed together with any reasonable bank charges, administrative costs, or collection expenses incurred. Interest may be charged on overdue sums at the statutory rate where permitted by law.

Cancellations by you must be made as early as possible and within the notice period specified at booking. If no notice period is specified, a reasonable notice period will apply. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, cancellations made less than 24 hours before the appointment may incur a cancellation fee reflecting lost time and unrecoverable costs. If we arrive at the property and are unable to access the premises, the booking may be treated as a same-day cancellation or wasted visit.

If you wish to reschedule, we will do our best to accommodate the new date, but rescheduling is subject to availability and may require a revised price if the new appointment changes labour requirements or falls outside the originally agreed conditions. In some cases, a deposit may be transferred to the new date at our discretion. However, if the appointment is repeatedly postponed or changed, we reserve the right to treat it as cancelled and apply the relevant fees.

We may cancel or reschedule a booking where necessary for operational, safety, legal, or unavoidable reasons, including staff illness, vehicle breakdown, severe weather, or access restrictions not disclosed at the time of booking. Where possible, we will provide notice and offer an alternative time. If we cancel and cannot reasonably rearrange the appointment, any advance payment for the cancelled portion will normally be refunded, subject to any lawful deductions for work already carried out or special-order items already purchased for the job.

Our liability to you is limited to the extent permitted by law. We will exercise reasonable care and skill in providing deep cleaning Lambeth services, but we do not guarantee the removal of every stain, odour, mark, or blemish, particularly where damage is longstanding, embedded, or caused by unsuitable materials, prior neglect, or manufacture defects. Some surfaces, fabrics, fittings, and finishes are delicate or may react to water, steam, chemicals, or abrasive methods. You are responsible for informing us of any known sensitivities, fragile items, or manufacturer instructions.

We shall not be liable for pre-existing damage, wear and tear, hidden defects, structural issues, defective fixtures, faulty electrics, poorly sealed surfaces, or damage resulting from inaccurate information provided by you. This includes items left unstable, unsecured, or not fit for normal cleaning use. Where we are asked to move objects, appliances, or furniture, we will do so only if it is reasonably safe to do so. We are not liable for damage caused by moving items that were already loose, damaged, overloaded, or improperly installed.

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 legally be limited or excluded. Subject to that, our total liability arising from any single claim or series of related claims shall not exceed the total amount paid or payable for the specific service giving rise to the claim. We shall not be liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of opportunity, business interruption, or emotional distress.

Where the service involves the removal of waste, dirty water, disposable materials, packaging, or other residues, both parties must comply with applicable waste laws and disposal requirements. We will handle waste in a lawful and responsible manner, but the exact disposal method may depend on the type and quantity of material generated during the service. Any hazardous, clinical, sharp, chemical, or contaminated waste must be disclosed in advance. Such materials may require specialist handling and may be excluded from standard cleaning unless separately agreed in writing.

You remain responsible for ensuring that any waste already present at the property, or arising from the use of the premises, is correctly identified and managed in accordance with relevant regulations. We do not act as a licensed waste carrier unless expressly stated, and we may decline to remove materials that fall outside normal domestic or commercial cleaning waste. If we agree to remove waste, you must ensure that it is legal to do so and that the waste is not prohibited, dangerous, or improperly packaged. Where specialist disposal is required, additional charges may apply.

If, during the course of deep cleaning services, we discover waste that is hazardous, unsanitary, or likely to breach environmental, health, or safety rules, we may stop work in the affected area until the issue is resolved. We may also report serious hazards where required by law. You agree to indemnify us against losses, fines, claims, or liabilities arising from your failure to disclose regulated waste, unsafe materials, or illegal disposal circumstances, except to the extent caused by our own negligence or breach of duty.

Before work begins, you should remove or secure valuables, cash, jewellery, medicines, confidential documents, and fragile items. While we take reasonable care, we are not responsible for items not reasonably identified, secured, or disclosed as special concerns in advance. It is your responsibility to ensure that the property has access to running water, electricity, and safe working conditions unless otherwise agreed. If these essentials are unavailable, the service may be delayed, shortened, or cancelled, and a charge may still apply for attendance time.

We may take reasonable photographs before and after the job for internal quality control, record keeping, or dispute resolution. Any images used for this purpose will be handled appropriately and in line with applicable data protection obligations. We will not intentionally disclose personal data beyond what is necessary to carry out the service, respond to a query, or comply with legal requirements. You must not use any of our staff, equipment, or documentation for unlawful purposes.

Where a customer acts abusively, threatens staff, interferes with the work, or creates an unsafe environment, we may stop the service immediately and leave the premises. In such circumstances, the full or partial charge for time spent may still apply. We also reserve the right to withdraw services where the property is infested, heavily contaminated beyond the booked scope, or otherwise presents a risk that cannot reasonably be controlled with ordinary cleaning measures.

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from or in connection with the service or these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, except where applicable consumer law provides otherwise. If any part of these terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that part shall be treated as severed to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between you and us in relation to the service, unless varied in writing by an authorised representative. No failure or delay by us in enforcing any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of that right or remedy. Any waiver must be given expressly and in writing. We may update these terms from time to time, and the version in force at the time of your booking will usually apply to that booking, unless a later version is agreed.

By proceeding with a booking for deep cleaning Lambeth or any related deep cleaning service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these conditions. If you are booking on behalf of another person or entity, you confirm that you have authority to do so and that the person or organisation will be bound by these terms. These conditions are intended to support a transparent service relationship and to set reasonable expectations for both sides.
