2. Is the quote fixed and inclusive of VAT, products, equipment and parking?

3. Which tasks are classed as extras (oven, carpet steam, exterior windows) and at what cost?

4. Do you supply eco‑friendly or allergy‑safe products on request?

5. Will you provide an itemised checklist to satisfy end‑of‑tenancy or landlord standards?

6. What is your cancellation or reschedule policy?

7. How do you handle accidental damage—are breakages covered under your liability insurance?

   
   

How to Avoid Surprises

• Declutter rooms, empty cupboards and clear worktops so cleaners can reach all surfaces.

• Reserve parking close to the entrance for unloading machines and chemicals.

• Inform the team of pets, alarm codes or restricted lift times.

• Point out delicate finishes (marble, oiled wood) that need specialist products.

• Confirm drying times for carpets and floors so you can plan furniture return.
