Terms & Conditions

Terms and Conditions represent an agreement between Fairies and the Client.
Minimum number of hours weekly is 2 per visit and 3 hours fortnightly.
The client agrees to provide cleaning materials and equipment needed, unless other arrangements have been made with Fairies.
All cleaning equipment should be safe and in full working order.
If the client does not have cleaning materials and asks Fairies to purchase those items on their behalf, the client agrees that an applicable service charge will be added.
If Fairies personnel needs to collect keys from a third party’s address outside the postal code of the premises where work is to be carried out then a £10.00 charge may apply.
If any estimate is given on how long it will take our personnel to do the job, this is only an estimated quote based on the average time it takes to clean a home or office of similar size. The customer is advised that an end of tenancy cleaning may take double the length of time required for a general cleaning. After Builders/One – off Cleaning, or Badly neglected homes may take up to three times longer than a well maintained home requiring general cleaning.

The one-off compulsory fee for any arrangements between you and a cleaner within 12 months from the date of terminating the service is a sum equivalent to 3 months of the weekly-entitled sum made the terms of this contract.

If keys are provided they must open the lock without any special efforts or skills. Customer agrees to pay the full price of one cleaning visit in case of a termination of the service if the customer has given less than one week advanced notice.
