24 Hour Guarantee

If you are not satisfied with the standard of my clean, please contact me within 24 hours. I will return and re-clean the affected areas free of charge. Requests made after 24 hours will not qualify for a free re-clean.

4

Minimum Charge

A minimum service charge of £15 applies, regardless of property size, or number of windows cleaned.

5

Access to Property

​Customers must ensure clear and safe access to the property on the scheduled cleaning day. If access is not available and no prior communication has been made, the full service charge will still apply

6

Cancellations or Skips

I require at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule a service. Cancellations made on the day of the clean, or where access is not available with no prior notice, will be charged at full price. Frequent cancellations or skipped cleans may result in removal from my service schedule.

7

New Customer Commitment

All new regular window cleaning customers are contracted for a minimum of three cleans. If a customer cancels before completing these three cleans, the value of the remaining cleans will be charged in full.

8

Payment

All payments are due within 7 days of the service date. My preferred payment method is DirectDebit. I may also accept bank transfer or card payment where agreed. Failure to pay on time may result in service suspension, removal from my schedule or late payment fees.

9

Liability

While every care is taken during cleaning, Windrush Exterior Care is not liable for pre-existing damage, defective fittings, poor maintenance, loose items, deteriorated materials or issues outside my control. Any claim for accidental damage must be reported within 24 hours of the clean.

10

Water Ingress & Faulty Units

Windrush Exterior Care is not responsible for water entering the property through windows, doors, vents, seals or units that are not watertight. This includes, but is not limited to, blown units, failed seals, open windows, damaged frames or pre-existing defects.

11

Loose Fittings

I am not responsible for damage to loose, brittle, unsecured or poorly maintained weep vents, trims, clips, decorative fittings or window bars. Stick-on window bars or decorative glazing bars may loosen or fall during cleaning if the adhesive has weakened over time. Replacement of these items remains the customer's responsibility

12

Customer Responsibility

Customers are responsible for ensuring all windows and doors are closed before cleaning begins. Fragile items, plant pots, ornaments, garden furniture and other obstacles should be moved away from areas requiring access. Pets should be secured where necessary

13

Referral Scheme

Refer a friend to Windrush Exterior Care and receive £10 credit added to your account once the referred customer completes their first clean. There is no limit to the number of referrals you can make.

14

Wooden Frames

Water-fed pole cleaning is not suitable for all wooden surfaces. Where wooden frames are present, my service will be limited to cobweb removal where safely accessible. I am not responsible for any loss of paint, flaking paint, weakened coatings or surface deterioration on painted or poorly maintained areas.

15

Hazardous Substances

Customers are responsible for ensuring gardens, pathways and access areas are clear, safe and hygienic before our arrival. If dog mess or other unhygienic waste is present in the garden or access areas, I may be unable to safely carry out the full clean.

Where dog mess prevents safe access, I reserve the right to charge the full scheduled clean price while only completing the areas that can be safely accessed. In some cases, I may choose not to carry out the clean at all, and the full charge may still apply.

This policy is in place to protect my safety, hygiene and working conditions.

16

Marks & Leaded Windows

While every care is taken during cleaning, I cannot be held responsible for pre-existing marks, staining, oxidation, age-related deterioration or defects in UPVC frames, sills, doors or trims.

I am also not responsible for damage to leaded or lead-lined windows where the leadwork is old, brittle, loose, weakened or poorly maintained. Older decorative lead can become fragile over time and may loosen during normal cleaning.

17

Items Left Outside

Customers are responsible for moving garden furniture, plant pots, ornaments, toys, tools, doormats and any other items away from windows, doors and access routes before my arrival.

Windrush Exterior Care is not responsible for items left outside becoming wet during cleaning, or for any damage caused if items need to be moved to gain access. If items are blocking access to a window or section of the property, I reserve the right not to clean that area while the full scheduled clean price may still apply.

The Following T&C's are aimed at the Exterior Cleaning services provided.

18

Booking & Cancellations

Quotes totalling £500 or more require a 30% advance deposit to secure the booking date and initiate scheduling and preparation.
Cancellations with more than 48 hours' notice: The deposit is non-refundable as a pre-estimate of administrative overhead and lost business opportunities from holding the date. However, at our discretion, the deposit may be transferred to a rescheduled booking date within a 3-month window.
 
Cancellations within 48 hours of job start: The deposit is strictly non-refundable and forfeited to cover immediate losses, allocated labour, and unrecoverable prep work.
 
Cancellations by me: If we need to cancel the booking for reasons within our control and cannot reschedule, a full refund of the deposit will be issued within 7 days.

19

Water & Utilities

Water Supply: The customer must ensure a continuous, functioning outdoor water supply is accessible on-site for the duration of the works. If a clean water supply is unavailable upon arrival or interrupted during the job, preventing completion, an additional waiting time, or inconvenience charge may be incurred.
Power Supply: While my operations are primarily self-sufficient using generator power and petrol-driven equipment, access to a standard domestic power source may occasionally be required. 

20

Pre-existing Damage

All exterior cleaning, pressure washing, softwashing, and restoration work is undertaken on the strict understanding that the property and its surfaces are in a sound, stable condition capable of withstanding standard cleaning methods. Roof cleaning in particular involves working on elevated surfaces where hidden vulnerabilities are common. I accept no liability for damage caused to pre-existing structural weaknesses, fragile materials, loose mortar, cracked or broken tiles, degraded or torn flashing, defective rendering, rotten timber, unsealed gaps, or wear-and-tear that may be exposed, destabilised, or worsened during the cleaning process—including instances of water ingress or leaks (such as water entering a kitchen or loft space) resulting from an old or compromised roof structure. Exterior cleaning methods can be intensive. If you have any concerns regarding the age, structural integrity, or condition of your surfaces (particularly roofs), you must explicitly mention this to me beforehand and ask about potential lower-pressure or alternative methods. While I make every effort to inspect the site and advise you on the safest and most effective solution prior to commencement, it is often impossible to fully identify underlying vulnerabilities until cleaning begins. Customers must notify me in advance of any delicate, sensitive, or damaged areas within the work zone, including non-standard building materials, fragile seals, or vulnerable wiring. Customers are also responsible for ensuring all windows, doors, and vents are securely closed.

21

Results & Expectations

While I use industry-standard methods, professional equipment, and specialised products to achieve the highest possible standard of cleanliness, exterior cleaning cannot reverse decades of natural weathering, UV degradation, and wear.

I am not responsible for the final appearance, texture, or colour of a surface once cleaning is complete. Over time, materials such as concrete roof tiles, block paving, and stonework lose their original factory coatings, pigments, and smooth finishes due to age and exposure to the elements. For example, a roof that has not been cleaned in many years may have faded, become porous, or have rough underlying material that was previously masked by organic growth (such as moss, lichen, and algae). Cleaning removes the organic matter, but it cannot restore original factory paint, vibrant original colours, or manufacturing seals that have worn away over time. While I aim for the best possible results, 100% removal of deeply ingrained stains, oil spots, rust, or mineral deposits cannot always be guaranteed without causing structural damage to the underlying substrate.

22

Warranties & Guarantees

I do not offer warranties or guarantees on our cleaning or restoration services. Due to the variable nature of exterior surfaces, weather exposure, and environmental factors beyond my control, it is not possible to guarantee cleaning results or how long those results will last.

 When undertaking remedial and restoration tasks—such as joint repairs, polymeric sanding, tarmac restoration, or surface sealing—I am working upon pre-existing installations where the original sub-bases, foundations, or materials may already be compromised or degraded. Consequently, I cannot warrant or be held responsible for the longevity of these restoration treatments if underlying structural movement, sub-base failure, or natural wear causes subsequent cracking, joint breakdown, or surface deterioration.

23

Adverse Weather

Exterior cleaning and treatment are heavily dependent on weather conditions (such as heavy rain, high winds, or freezing temperatures). I reserve the right to postpone a booking at short notice if conditions are unsafe or would compromise the quality of the work. In such cases, I will work with you to reschedule the job for the earliest available date without penalty to your deposit.

24

Waste Disposal

I do not hold a waste carriers license, therefore, all organic debris removed during the cleaning process (such as moss, weeds, and surface detritus) can be left on-site for household disposal or garden use. I am happy to place waste in a designated flower bed, compost heap, or alternatively, bag it up for customer to dispose of using their own method.

25

Photographs & Video

I may take before and after photographs or videos to evidence the work being carried out. These photographs and videos may also be used for marketing or promotional   unless explicitly request otherwise in writing.

I am always happy to answer any questions about my  services, bookings or Terms & Conditions.
