2. Our Services
Zap Cleaning provides: oven cleaning, carpet cleaning, kitchen cleaning, bathroom cleaning, regular domestic cleaning, end of tenancy cleaning, garden services and window cleaning across Cambridge and surrounding villages.
All services are subject to availability. We reserve the right to decline or reschedule any booking at our discretion. Any deposit paid will be refunded in full if we cancel.
3. Booking & Confirmation
A booking is confirmed when both parties have agreed the date, time and price in writing (WhatsApp, email or form). Submitting an enquiry form does not constitute a confirmed booking.
4. Pricing & Payment
Prices are confirmed at the time of booking and include VAT where applicable. Payment is due on completion of each visit unless otherwise agreed. If the scope of work differs significantly from the original description, we reserve the right to revise the price before beginning — the Client may accept or cancel without charge.
5. Regular Domestic Cleaning
5.1 Minimum Duration
All regular domestic cleaning visits have a minimum booking of 2 hours per visit. Bookings for less than 2 hours will not be accepted.
5.2 Parking
Parking must be available at or immediately outside the property for every visit — either a driveway or unrestricted on-street parking within approximately 50 metres. If parking is unavailable on arrival, we will wait up to 10 minutes. If no suitable parking is found, the visit may be cancelled and the full visit fee charged. It is the Client's responsibility to notify us of any parking restrictions.
5.3 Client Approval & Selection
Zap Cleaning operates a selective client policy for regular domestic cleaning. We carefully select our regular clients in order to maintain the highest standards of service for all customers. Submitting an enquiry does not guarantee acceptance as a regular cleaning client. We reserve the right to decline any application without obligation to provide a reason. Acceptance is at our sole discretion.
5.4 Cleaning Chemicals
Cleaning chemicals can be supplied by Zap Cleaning for an additional charge, or Clients may provide their own products. Any such charge is agreed at the time of booking.
6. End of Tenancy Cleaning
6.1 Property Condition
The property must be empty of all furniture, personal belongings and rubbish before cleaning commences, unless otherwise specifically agreed. Prices are based on properties in a reasonable condition. Excessive soiling, mould, pest infestations or damage beyond normal wear and tear may result in additional charges, which will be communicated before any extra work is carried out.
6.2 24-Hour Warranty — No Re-Clean Guarantee
Zap Cleaning offers a Deposit-Protection Guarantee on all end of tenancy and domestic cleaning services. We clean to the standard expected by Cambridge letting agents and landlords, and we stand behind our work.
Deposit-Protection Guarantee (7-Day Re-Clean). If you are not satisfied with any aspect of the clean, you must notify us in writing (WhatsApp or email) within 7 days of the completion of the clean. Where a genuine issue is confirmed — i.e. an area that was within scope and was missed or insufficiently cleaned — we will return to address it at no charge. This guarantee applies to all services including end of tenancy cleans.
The re-clean guarantee does not cover: environmental elements outside our control (settled dust, individual hairs, condensation); deterioration caused by access to the property by third parties (tradespeople, viewers, new tenants) after the clean; areas, items or rooms not included in the original scope of work; or situations where the property has been used or cleaned by others after our visit. Important: our Deposit-Protection Guarantee is a commitment to re-clean any area where a genuine cleaning issue is identified. It does not guarantee the return of your deposit — that decision rests solely with your landlord or letting agent and may be influenced by factors entirely outside the scope of cleaning (pre-existing damage, fair wear and tear disputes, rent arrears, etc.). Zap Cleaning makes no representation that our services will result in a deposit return. Zap Cleaning does not offer a deposit-return guarantee — the outcome of a landlord or letting agent inspection depends on factors outside our control, including pre-existing conditions and individual landlord standards.
6.3 Carpets & Ovens
Vacuuming is included as standard. Carpet deep cleaning (hot water extraction) is a separate service and not included unless specifically stated. Standard oven cleaning is included; heavily soiled ovens may require our specialist dip-tank service at an additional charge, assessed on arrival.
7. Cancellation Policy
| Notice Given | Charge |
|---|---|
| More than 48 hours | No charge |
| 24–48 hours | 50% of agreed visit fee |
| Less than 24 hours / no-show | 100% of agreed visit fee |
Cancellations must be made via WhatsApp or email. Voicemail does not constitute confirmed cancellation.
8. Emergency & Last-Minute Bookings
Emergency bookings are subject to availability and may carry a surcharge, confirmed before booking. All standard terms apply.
9. Liability & Insurance
Zap Cleaning holds full public liability insurance. Any damage must be reported within 24 hours of the visit. We are not liable for pre-existing damage, fragile items not declared, or claims submitted more than 24 hours after the visit. Maximum liability is limited to the visit fee paid.
10. Satisfaction
For general cleaning services (excluding end of tenancy), if you are not satisfied with any aspect of the clean, contact us within 7 days and we will return to address any genuine issues free of charge, subject to the re-clean guarantee terms above. This is offered in lieu of a refund.
11. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
