Bayswater Cleaner Service Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Bayswater Cleaner provides domestic and commercial cleaning services in the United Kingdom. By making a booking, confirming an appointment, or allowing a cleaner to attend the property, the client agrees to be bound by these terms. The purpose of this document is to create clear expectations around the booking process, payment, cancellation, service scope, responsibility, and legal compliance. If any part of these terms is not understood, the client should review them carefully before confirming a service.

For the purposes of these terms, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Bayswater Cleaner, and “you” or “the client” refers to the person, business, tenant, landlord, agent, or other party requesting the service. The service agreement begins when a booking is accepted by us and continues until the cleaning visit has been completed and any outstanding charges have been settled. These terms apply to all standard cleaning, deep cleaning, end-of-tenancy cleaning, one-off cleaning, and other cleaning services offered under the Bayswater Cleaner name, unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.

1. Booking Process

Bookings may be made by requesting a quotation, selecting a service package, or confirming an agreed cleaning schedule. All bookings are subject to availability, staff allocation, and acceptance by Bayswater Cleaner. A request for a service does not guarantee a booking until we have confirmed the appointment and, where relevant, received any required deposit or advance payment. We may ask for information needed to assess the property size, access conditions, cleaning requirements, preferred dates, and any special instructions relevant to the work.

It is the client’s responsibility to provide accurate and complete information when making a booking. If the property details are incomplete or inaccurate, the price, time estimate, and staffing allocation may need to be adjusted. Any quote provided before an inspection is based on the information supplied by the client and may be revised if the actual condition of the property differs from the description. We reserve the right to refuse or withdraw a booking where the service requested is unsafe, outside our operational capacity, or inconsistent with our lawful working practices.

Where a recurring service is arranged, the client agrees that the schedule may be updated with reasonable notice if staffing, access, or operational needs require it. Any special requirements, such as parking restrictions, entry codes, alarm systems, or building access procedures, should be disclosed at the time of booking. If a cleaner is unable to enter the premises due to the client’s failure to provide access, the appointment may be treated as a late cancellation or a wasted visit, and a fee may apply.

All appointments are subject to the client ensuring that the property is reasonably prepared for cleaning. This includes securing pets, removing personal valuables where appropriate, and providing access to the areas to be cleaned. If the property contains hazards, excessive clutter, biohazards, or conditions that make safe cleaning impossible, we may suspend or terminate the visit. In such circumstances, the booking may still be charged in full or in part depending on the work already undertaken and the costs incurred.

2. Payments

Payment terms will be confirmed at the time of booking and may vary depending on the type of service requested. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due on the day of service or immediately upon invoice, and must be made by the method specified by Bayswater Cleaner. We may require advance payment, part payment, or a deposit for certain services, including larger projects, one-off cleans, and bookings made at short notice. All prices are stated in pounds sterling and may be subject to VAT where applicable.

If payment is not received on time, we may suspend further services, cancel future appointments, or recover any unpaid sums through lawful debt recovery procedures. The client will be responsible for reasonable costs incurred in collecting overdue amounts, including administrative fees and any permitted recovery charges. Any discounts, promotions, or special rates are offered at our discretion and may be withdrawn if booking conditions are not met, payment is late, or the scope of the work changes materially.

Where the final cost depends on the actual time spent, level of contamination, access conditions, or additional tasks requested on site, the price may be adjusted accordingly. Additional charges may apply for heavy soiling, stain treatment, carpet or upholstery attention, appliance cleaning, extra rooms, or extended labour beyond the original booking estimate. Any significant change to the quoted price will normally be communicated to the client before the work continues, except where urgent completion is necessary and prior notice is impracticable.

3. Cancellations and Rescheduling

The client may request to cancel or reschedule a booking, but notice must be given within a reasonable period. Unless a different cancellation policy is stated at the time of booking, we ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for standard appointments and longer notice for large, complex, or specially arranged services. If cancellation occurs after resources have been allocated, or if our team has already travelled to the property, a cancellation fee may be charged.

If the client is not present at the agreed time and access is not available, or if the appointment cannot proceed for reasons within the client’s control, we may treat the matter as a late cancellation or failed attendance. In those circumstances, the booking fee, deposit, or full service charge may be retained to cover lost time and business costs. Bayswater Cleaner also reserves the right to cancel or postpone a service where weather, transport disruption, staff illness, safety concerns, or operational issues make attendance impracticable.

4. Liability and Service Limits

We will exercise reasonable care and skill in delivering our services. However, cleaning work involves some inherent risks, particularly where surfaces are old, fragile, badly stained, or already damaged. Bayswater Cleaner is not liable for pre-existing defects, wear and tear, hidden damage, poor installation, manufacturing faults, or deterioration that occurs despite reasonable care. The client should notify us in advance of any fragile items, delicate finishes, or areas requiring special attention.

Our liability for loss or damage caused directly by our negligence, if proven, is limited to the cost of repair or replacement of the affected item, taking account of age, condition, and depreciation. We do not exclude or limit liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded under UK law. Any claim should be reported as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within a reasonable time after the issue is discovered.

We are not responsible for loss of money, jewellery, documents, or other valuables left unattended in the property unless the loss is directly caused by our proven fault. The client should store such items securely before the visit. If our team is asked to move objects, furniture, or appliances to carry out the cleaning, this will be done only where reasonable and safe, and we are not liable for minor marks, scuffs, or movement-related consequences that may arise from ordinary handling in the course of the service.

5. Waste, Refuse, and Environmental Compliance

Any waste removed during a cleaning visit must be handled in accordance with applicable UK waste regulations. Bayswater Cleaner will not dispose of controlled waste, hazardous waste, sharps, medical waste, chemicals, asbestos, or any other regulated material unless expressly agreed in writing and lawfully permitted to do so. The client is responsible for informing us of any waste streams or restricted materials present at the property before the service begins.

Where general waste is collected as part of the service, it will be handled in a lawful, safe, and environmentally responsible way. We may separate recyclable materials where operationally appropriate, but we do not guarantee recycling outcomes for waste once removed from the client’s premises. If bags, boxes, or refuse are left for collection, the client must ensure that the materials are lawful for removal and do not contain prohibited contents. Any fines, penalties, or claims arising from incorrect declarations by the client may be passed on to the client to the extent permitted by law.

We also reserve the right to refuse cleaning or refuse removal where the property contains contamination, infestation, bodily fluids, sharps, or materials that require specialist handling. In such cases, the client may need to arrange a specialist contractor. If our team encounters prohibited waste unexpectedly, the visit may be paused or terminated for safety reasons, and the client may be charged for time already spent plus any reasonable costs incurred by our attendance.

Any property keys, access cards, alarm codes, or entry instructions supplied to us remain the client’s responsibility to provide correctly and to retrieve at the end of the service arrangement where applicable. We will take reasonable care with access items, but we are not liable for delays caused by inaccurate instructions, faulty locks, unavailable entry points, or third-party building management restrictions. The client must ensure that the property is in a condition that allows lawful and safe access for the duration of the appointment.

Bayswater Cleaner may subcontract or assign elements of the work to suitably qualified personnel where necessary, provided the service standard remains consistent. Any person attending the property on our behalf is expected to act professionally and in accordance with these terms. We may vary staffing, scheduling, or operational arrangements at our discretion if this is reasonably required to complete the service efficiently or to address unforeseen circumstances.

Complaints about the quality of service should be raised promptly so that we can inspect the issue and, where appropriate, offer a remedial clean or other reasonable solution. Any remedy offered is at our discretion and does not create an obligation to replace or refund every element of the service. If the client has failed to allow sufficient time, access, or preparation for the clean, any dissatisfaction arising from those issues will not be treated as a service failure by us.

6. Termination, Changes, and General Provisions

We may amend these cleaning service terms from time to time to reflect changes in law, business practice, or operational requirements. The version in force at the time of booking will normally apply to that booking, unless a later written variation is agreed by both parties. If any provision of these terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law.

Nothing in these terms creates a partnership, employment relationship, or agency relationship between the client and Bayswater Cleaner, except to the extent required for the performance of the contracted services. The client may not transfer rights or obligations under the service agreement without our written consent. Any failure by us to enforce a right on one occasion does not waive our right to enforce it later. This document is intended to operate as a practical legal page and should be read alongside any specific quotation, invoice, or written service schedule.

7. Governing Law

These terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory law provides otherwise. By using Bayswater Cleaner services, the client acknowledges that the agreement is made under UK legal principles and that any dispute will be handled in the appropriate legal forum.
