A booking is only confirmed once D&S Cleaning Company has agreed the

We may contact you before your appointment to confirm access arrangements,

If we are unable to complete the work because access has not been arranged or
important information has not been provided, charges may still apply where
staff time or travel has already been committed.

property at the agreed appointment time.

This may include providing:

Please inform us in advance about:

  • Security systems or alarm procedures
  • Restricted areas

Where a booking is cancelled with less than the required notice,
D&S Cleaning Company may charge a reasonable cancellation fee to cover
staff time, travel, or other costs already incurred.

Cleaning results may vary depending on the age, condition, and materials
within the property. Some stains, marks, odours, damage, or built-up dirt
may not be fully removable using standard cleaning methods.

While we always aim to deliver the highest possible standard of service,
we cannot guarantee specific results where factors beyond our control affect
the outcome.

Nothing within these Terms & Conditions limits your legal rights as a
consumer. UK law requires services to be performed with reasonable care and skill.

10. End of Tenancy Cleaning

Our End of Tenancy Cleaning service is designed to help tenants, landlords,
and letting agents prepare rental properties for handover or new occupants.

We cannot guarantee the return of a tenancy deposit, as this decision remains
with the landlord, letting agent, or tenancy deposit scheme.

Customers should advise us of any inventory requirements, cleaning checklists,
or areas requiring particular attention before the appointment.

11. Airbnb and Short-Let Cleaning

Customers with Airbnb or short-let properties are responsible for providing
accurate booking schedules, access arrangements, and turnaround requirements.

Additional services such as linen changes, laundry, restocking, or key
management must be agreed before booking and may incur additional charges.

soon as possible, preferably within [Insert timeframe] of

We will review your concern fairly and, where appropriate, discuss a suitable
