Terms and Conditions for Deep Cleaning Surrey

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Deep Cleaning Surrey provides domestic and commercial deep cleaning services in the UK. By making a booking, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms, which apply to all standard, one-off, end-of-tenancy, post-build, kitchen, bathroom, appliance, and other specialist deep cleaning services in Surrey unless varied in writing. These terms are designed to be clear, fair, and consistent with UK consumer law, while also protecting both the customer and the service provider.

The customer should read these terms carefully before confirming any appointment. A booking is accepted only when the customer has provided the required information, agreed to the quoted price or estimate, and received confirmation that the cleaning service has been scheduled. The scope of work, expected duration, and any specific exclusions will depend on the property condition, access, and the exact tasks requested. If the customer has not disclosed material details, the service provider may revise the quote or, in some cases, decline the work.

These terms apply equally whether the booking is arranged online, by phone, or through any other agreed method. References to we, us, or our mean the cleaning business trading as Deep Cleaning Surrey; references to you or the customer mean the person or business booking the service. The use of deep cleaning Surrey in these terms is purely descriptive and refers to the service category rather than a separate legal entity.

1. Booking Process

To request a service, the customer must provide accurate information about the property, the type of cleaning required, the number of rooms or areas, the condition of the premises, and any special requirements, including parking, restricted access, pets, hazards, or fragile items. Any quotation provided before an on-site inspection is based on the information supplied by the customer and may be adjusted if that information proves incomplete or inaccurate. We may ask for photographs, videos, or a site visit to help assess the likely time and resources required for the job.

Once a price or estimate has been agreed, we will confirm the booking subject to availability. A booking is not guaranteed until confirmation has been issued and, where required, any deposit has been paid. The customer is responsible for ensuring that the date, time, address, and service details are correct. If the service requires specific equipment, materials, or specialist handling, this must be disclosed in advance so that we can determine whether the job can be undertaken safely and effectively.

2. Access and Customer Responsibilities

The customer must ensure that we have reasonable access to the property at the agreed time. If access is delayed or denied because of missing keys, security restrictions, incorrect instructions, or the customer’s failure to attend, we may treat this as a late cancellation or failed attendance and charge accordingly. The customer should also remove or secure valuables, confidential documents, and items of sentimental importance before the cleaning begins. Although we will take reasonable care, we cannot be responsible for items left in exposed or unsuitable locations.

Where the property is occupied, the customer must make us aware of occupants, children, vulnerable persons, or animals that could affect the cleaning process. We may refuse to clean areas that present an unacceptable health or safety risk. If the premises are excessively cluttered, unsanitary, or hazardous, we may reduce the scope of work, reschedule, or withdraw from the job. Any decision of this kind will be based on safety, practicality, and the reasonable delivery of the service.

The customer must ensure that utilities such as water and electricity are available unless the service has been specifically arranged to operate without them. If power or water is unavailable, or if there are defective fixtures, broken appliances, blocked drains, or hidden damage that prevents the work from being completed, we may need to amend the service or leave the affected areas untreated.

3. Pricing and Payments

Prices may be offered as fixed quotes or as estimates, depending on the information available at the time of booking. A fixed quote applies only to the service scope described in the confirmation. If additional work is requested on the day, or if the property condition differs materially from what was described, any extra time, labour, or materials may be charged separately. We reserve the right to revise prices where the original information was incomplete, misleading, or materially changed before the appointment.

Payment terms will be agreed at booking and may require full payment in advance, a deposit, or payment on completion. Unless stated otherwise, payment is due immediately upon completion of the service. We may accept card, bank transfer, or other approved methods. If payment is not made on time, we may suspend future bookings, charge reasonable recovery costs, and, where lawful, apply interest or late fees in accordance with the relevant legislation for overdue business debts or consumer transactions.

Any deposit paid to secure a date may be non-refundable to the extent reasonably necessary to cover administrative costs and lost availability, particularly where short notice is given. However, nothing in these terms affects any mandatory consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded. If a refund is due because we cancel the booking or fail to provide the service as agreed, the refund will be made using the original payment method unless otherwise agreed.

4. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and No-Shows

The customer may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving reasonable notice. The amount of notice required may vary depending on the size of the job, the resources allocated, and whether specialist staff or equipment have been reserved. If the customer cancels at short notice, we may charge a cancellation fee that reflects the loss suffered, including staff time, travel, and operational preparation. Such charges will be reasonable and proportionate.

If we need to cancel or reschedule, we will aim to provide as much notice as practicable and offer an alternative date where possible. We will not be liable for delay or non-performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including severe weather, transport disruption, illness, accidents, utility failure, or other unforeseen operational issues. In such cases, our liability will be limited to rescheduling the booking or refunding any prepaid amount for the unperformed portion of the service.

If the customer is not present, does not provide access, or is otherwise unavailable at the agreed time, we may classify the appointment as a no-show. In that event, the full or partial booking fee may be charged where we have incurred loss or reserved capacity specifically for that appointment. We will always act reasonably and consider the actual circumstances before applying any charge.

5. Service Standards and Limitations

We will use reasonable skill and care in delivering all deep cleaning services and will aim to complete the work to a professional standard consistent with the agreed scope. Cleaning is a process of removing dirt, grime, and residue to the extent reasonably achievable using appropriate methods and materials. Some stains, odours, limescale, mould, paint marks, grease build-up, and damage may not be removable due to age, surface type, or previous wear. We do not guarantee the restoration of items to a new condition unless specifically agreed in writing.

We may refuse to use products or methods that we consider unsafe, unsuitable, or likely to cause damage. Where the customer requests particular cleaning products, we will assess whether they are appropriate for the surfaces involved. If the customer requires eco-friendly or hypoallergenic products, this should be specified in advance. Any allergies, sensitivities, or material concerns must be notified before the appointment so that we can make reasonable adjustments where possible.

Our work may include moving lightweight items to clean behind or beneath them, but we are not obliged to move heavy furniture, fixed appliances, wall-mounted items, or objects that could be damaged by relocation. Any agreed movement of items will be limited to what can be done safely by our staff. We are not responsible for pre-existing defects, hidden deterioration, loose fittings, or damage arising from poor installation or age.

6. Liability and Insurance

We accept responsibility for loss or damage caused directly by our proven negligence, but our liability is limited to the extent permitted by UK law. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Subject to these mandatory protections, we will not be liable for indirect, consequential, or economic losses such as loss of profit, loss of business opportunity, or loss of use.

If the customer believes damage has occurred, this must be reported as soon as reasonably possible and, in any event, within a reasonable time after the service. The customer should provide photographs, a description of the issue, and any relevant supporting information. We may need the opportunity to inspect the item or area before any repair, replacement, or compensation is considered. Any remedy will be assessed fairly and may include cleaning again, repair, replacement, or reimbursement up to the value of the affected item, subject to the limitations of these terms and applicable law.

The customer must not ask us to clean or handle hazardous materials, controlled substances, illegal waste, needles, asbestos, or any item requiring a licensed specialist unless this has been expressly agreed and lawful arrangements are in place. We are not responsible for loss or damage arising from undisclosed hazards, faulty property conditions, or the customer’s failure to maintain safe access and a safe working environment.

7. Waste Regulations and Disposal

Any waste generated during a cleaning service will be handled in accordance with applicable UK waste laws and environmental requirements. We may remove ordinary domestic or non-hazardous waste only where this has been agreed in advance and where it can be lawfully disposed of through appropriate channels. We do not operate as an unauthorised waste carrier, and we will not dispose of materials that require specialist handling unless the relevant legal and operational arrangements have been made.

The customer remains responsible for declaring whether any waste, debris, or contaminated material on site is hazardous, bulky, sharp, biological, or otherwise regulated. If such items are discovered during the service, we may stop work in that area and request further instructions. We may also decline to remove waste if doing so would breach any licensing, packaging, transport, or disposal obligation. Any additional disposal costs, permits, or specialist charges will be communicated where reasonably possible before they are incurred.

We will not knowingly dump, abandon, or improperly dispose of waste. Any materials removed by us will be transported and disposed of through lawful and environmentally responsible means. The customer must not place us under pressure to act contrary to these obligations, and we reserve the right to refuse any instruction that would create a legal or environmental breach.

8. Complaints and Rectification

If the customer is dissatisfied with the service, they should notify us promptly and provide details of the issue. Where reasonable, we will consider an opportunity to return and rectify any aspect of the work that does not meet the agreed scope or a reasonable professional standard. Complaints will be reviewed on their facts, taking into account access, property condition, the original instructions, and whether the issue arose from limitations outside our control.

Rectification is intended to be a practical remedy and does not imply acceptance of liability in circumstances where the complaint concerns pre-existing damage, normal cleaning limitations, or the customer’s failure to provide accurate information. We reserve the right to decline a rectification request if access is denied, if the complaint is made unreasonably late, or if the issue is unrelated to the work we agreed to perform.

9. Data, Privacy, and Communication

Any personal information provided for booking and service administration will be used only for legitimate business purposes such as scheduling, invoicing, service delivery, and record keeping, in line with applicable UK data protection law. Communication may take place by email, telephone, text message, or other agreed methods. We will handle information proportionately and securely, and will not use customer data for unrelated purposes without lawful basis.

10. Governing Law

These terms and any dispute or claim arising from them shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The parties agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where consumer law provides otherwise. If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

11. General Provisions

Failure by us to enforce any right or provision under these terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right. Any variation to these terms must be agreed in writing. The customer may not assign or transfer the booking without our consent. We may update these terms from time to time to reflect legal, operational, or service changes, but the version in force at the time of booking will apply to that booking unless a later change is required by law.

By confirming a booking with Deep Cleaning Surrey, the customer acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and Conditions. These terms are intended to create a clear framework for a reliable deep cleaning Surrey service, with fair allocation of responsibilities and compliance with applicable UK standards.
