2. Scope of Services
The Company will provide cleaning services as agreed with the Client at the time of booking. The scope of work may include general cleaning, deep cleaning, end of tenancy cleaning, and other cleaning tasks appropriate to residential and commercial properties in the Streatham service area.
The specific tasks, frequency, and duration of the Services will be confirmed during the booking process. The Company reserves the right to decline work that is outside the usual scope of cleaning services, unsafe, or unsuitable for the expertise of its Cleaners.

3.3 The Client is responsible for ensuring that access to the Premises is available at the agreed time. If the Cleaner is unable to gain access due to incorrect information, locked doors, or absence of keys or access codes, the Company may treat the visit as a late cancellation and charge the applicable cancellation fee.

4.2 The Company reserves the right to revise prices if the information originally supplied by the Client is inaccurate, incomplete, or if the condition of the Premises requires substantially more work than reasonably anticipated. In such cases, the Company will notify the Client and seek approval before proceeding or adjusting the service.
4.3 Payment terms will be confirmed at the time of booking. The Company may require payment in advance, at the time of service, or invoice the Client after completion of the Services, depending on the nature of the booking and the Client’s account status.
4.4 The Company accepts commonly used payment methods as communicated to the Client during the booking process. All payments must be made in the currency and within the timeframe indicated on the invoice or booking confirmation.
4.5 Where payment is not received by the due date, the Company reserves the right to charge interest on overdue amounts and to suspend or cancel further Services until the outstanding balance is paid in full.
5. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Access
5.1 The Client may cancel or reschedule a booking, provided that the Company receives adequate notice. The minimum notice period for cancellation or rescheduling will be confirmed during the booking process, but the standard requirement is at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled start time.
5.2 If the Client cancels or reschedules a booking with less than the required notice, the Company reserves the right to charge a cancellation fee, which may be up to the full price of the scheduled Service.
5.3 If the Cleaner is unable to gain access to the Premises at the agreed time, or if the Client fails to provide safe and adequate access, the Company may treat this as a late cancellation and charge the applicable fee.
