These Terms and Conditions govern the provision of oven cleaning and related services by Oven Cleaning Wimbledon to domestic and commercial customers. By making a booking, you agree that you have read, understood and accepted these Terms and Conditions and that you are legally capable of entering into a binding contract under the laws of England and Wales.

1. Definitions

In these Terms and Conditions, the following expressions have the meanings set out below.

Customer means the individual or business requesting or receiving the services.

Company means Oven Cleaning Wimbledon, the provider of the services.

Services means oven cleaning and any additional related cleaning services agreed between the Company and the Customer.

Premises means the property or location at which the services are to be carried out.

Agreement means the contract between the Customer and the Company for the provision of the services in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

2. Scope of Services

The Company provides professional oven cleaning and related cleaning services within its service area, including Wimbledon and surrounding locations. The exact services to be provided, including appliance types and any additional cleaning requirements, will be confirmed at the time of booking.

The Company reserves the right to refuse or discontinue services where, in its reasonable opinion, the Premises or any appliance is unsafe, presents a health risk, or where access is not reasonably possible.

3. Booking Process

Bookings can be made by the Customer through the Companys chosen communication methods from time to time. A booking is not confirmed until the Company has provided explicit confirmation of the date, time window and approximate price and has accepted the booking.

The Customer is responsible for providing accurate and complete information when making a booking, including the type and size of the oven or appliance, any known defects, the full address of the Premises, and any access restrictions such as parking limitations or entry codes.

The Company may request photographs or additional details of the appliances and the Premises to provide an accurate quotation. Any quotation is based on the information supplied by the Customer and may be amended if that information is found to be incomplete or incorrect.

The Customer must ensure that a person over the age of 18 is present at the Premises for the duration of the appointment, or that suitable arrangements are made for access and for the securing of the Premises afterwards.

4. Prices and Quotations

Prices are generally stated as fixed rates per appliance or as otherwise communicated by the Company at the time of booking. All prices are subject to confirmation and may vary depending on the size, condition and accessibility of the appliance, as well as the location of the Premises within the service area.

Any quotations given prior to inspection of the appliances and the Premises are estimates only, based on the information provided by the Customer. The Company reserves the right to amend the price if the actual work required is greater than initially described. In such circumstances, the Customer will be informed before work proceeds.

Unless expressly stated, prices are inclusive of labour, cleaning materials and the disposal of standard non-hazardous waste generated by the service, in line with applicable waste regulations.

5. Payments

Payment terms will be confirmed at the time of booking. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due in full upon completion of the services at the Premises.

The Company accepts payment by methods notified to the Customer before or at the appointment. The Customer must ensure that payment can be made promptly at the agreed time. Where payment is not made on completion, the Company reserves the right to apply late payment charges and to suspend further services until all outstanding sums are settled.

For commercial Customers or repeat services, the Company may agree alternative payment terms, including invoicing with specified payment periods. In such cases, the Customer agrees to pay all invoices in full and on time. Failure to do so may result in interest being charged on overdue amounts at the statutory rate as permitted by law.

6. Deposits

The Company may request a deposit at the time of booking. The amount of the deposit will be confirmed to the Customer before the booking is accepted. Deposits may be non-refundable in whole or in part if the Customer cancels the booking without providing the required notice, as set out in the cancellation provisions below.

Where a deposit has been paid and the Company is unable to perform the services for reasons within its control, the Customer will be entitled to a refund of the deposit or may elect to rebook the service for an alternative date.

7. Cancellations and Rescheduling by the Customer

The Customer may cancel or request to reschedule a booking by giving the Company reasonable prior notice. The minimum notice period required for cancellation or rescheduling without charge will be notified at the time of booking, but will not usually be less than 24 hours before the scheduled appointment time.

If the Customer cancels or seeks to reschedule the appointment with less than the required notice period, the Company reserves the right to retain any deposit paid and to charge a late cancellation fee, which may be up to the full price of the scheduled service.

Where the Company attends the Premises at the booked time and is unable to gain access, or where the Customer has failed to prepare the Premises so that the services cannot be carried out, this will be treated as a late cancellation and the full service fee may be charged.

8. Cancellations and Rescheduling by the Company

The Company will use reasonable endeavours to attend on the agreed date and time window. However, appointments may be subject to change due to circumstances beyond the Companys reasonable control, including but not limited to severe weather, traffic delays, staff illness or equipment failure.

Where the Company needs to cancel or reschedule an appointment, it will notify the Customer as soon as reasonably practicable and will offer an alternative date and time. The Company will not be liable for any indirect loss, loss of profit or other consequential loss arising from such cancellation or rescheduling.

If the Company cancels the appointment and the Customer does not wish to rebook, any deposit or prepayment for that appointment will be refunded.

9. Customer Obligations and Preparation

The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the Premises are safe and suitable for the services to be carried out. This includes ensuring adequate lighting, ventilation and access to the appliances, as well as safe working conditions for the Companys staff.

The Customer must inform the Company of any known defects or issues with the oven or other appliances, including faulty doors, seals, glass, elements, gas or electrical issues, and any previous damage. The Company will not be responsible for pre-existing damage or faults, whether visible or hidden.

The Customer should remove any personal items, oven trays not to be cleaned, or other obstructions from the working area before the appointment. The Company will not be liable for any damage to items left in or around the oven where such items should reasonably have been removed by the Customer.

10. Performance of the Services

The Company will carry out the services with reasonable skill and care, using appropriate cleaning products and methods suitable for typical domestic and light commercial ovens.

Cleaning results may vary depending on the age and condition of the appliance, the extent of existing staining or corrosion, and any pre-existing damage. The Company does not guarantee that every mark, stain or defect will be removed.

Certain components, such as light bulbs, seals, heavily corroded trays or panels, may be fragile or may already be nearing the end of their life. While reasonable care will be taken when cleaning these components, the Company cannot be held responsible for failure or breakage due to wear and tear or existing weakness.

11. Damage and Liability

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions limits or excludes the Companys liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other matter in respect of which liability cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

Subject to the above, the Companys total liability to the Customer for any loss or damage arising out of or in connection with the services or the Agreement, whether in contract, tort including negligence or otherwise, shall be limited to the total price paid or payable for the specific appointment giving rise to the claim.

The Company will not be liable for any indirect or consequential losses, including loss of profit, loss of opportunity, loss of enjoyment, or any loss arising from the inability to use the oven or appliance for any period before, during or after the appointment.

The Company will not be responsible for damage arising from faulty installation, faulty components, pre-existing damage, defective materials or poor manufacturer design, nor for any issues that result from failure to follow manufacturer guidelines.

12. Complaints and Service Issues

If the Customer is dissatisfied with any aspect of the services, the Customer must notify the Company within a reasonable time, and in any event within 48 hours of completion of the appointment, providing clear details of the issue. The Company may request photographs or a follow up visit to assess the concern.

Where the Company is satisfied that the complaint is justified and relates directly to the quality of the services provided, it may at its discretion offer a partial refund, a re-clean of the affected areas, or another appropriate remedy. This shall be the Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for any such issue.

13. Waste Handling and Environmental Regulations

The Company will handle and dispose of non-hazardous waste generated in the normal course of oven cleaning in accordance with applicable UK waste management and environmental regulations.

Typical waste includes grease residues, disposable cloths, sponges and other non-hazardous materials. The Company may remove such waste from the Premises or, where appropriate, place it in the Customers domestic waste facilities, in line with local collection rules and guidance.

The Company does not handle or dispose of hazardous or controlled waste as part of the standard services. If hazardous substances or materials are encountered at the Premises, the Company may refuse to proceed with the services in whole or in part, and may charge a call out fee.

14. Access, Parking and Charges

The Customer must ensure that the Companys staff can gain reasonable access to the Premises at the agreed time. Any parking costs or congestion charges incurred as a direct result of providing the services at the Customers chosen location may be passed on to the Customer, where notified in advance.

If the Premises are within an area requiring permits or restricted access, the Customer must make suitable arrangements to ensure entry and parking for the duration of the appointment. Failure to do so may result in additional charges or the appointment being treated as a late cancellation.

15. Health and Safety

The Company will operate in accordance with applicable health and safety legislation and will take reasonable steps to protect its staff and the Customer during the provision of the services.

The Customer agrees not to interfere with or obstruct the work of the Companys staff and to keep children and pets away from the immediate work area to minimise the risk of accidents or injury.

16. Force Majeure

The Company shall not be in breach of this Agreement or otherwise liable for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations if such failure or delay is due to an event beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to extreme weather, natural disasters, acts of government, strikes, epidemics, pandemics, or failure of transport or utilities.

17. Amendments to Terms and Conditions

The Company may amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time. Any updated version will apply to new bookings from the date on which the revised terms are published or communicated. The version in force at the time of booking will apply to that specific appointment, unless a change is required by law.

18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions and any Agreement between the Company and the Customer shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

The parties agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions, the Agreement, or the provision of the services.

19. Severability

If any provision or part provision of these Terms and Conditions is found by any court or other competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision or part provision shall, to the extent required, be deemed not to form part of these Terms and Conditions, and the validity and enforceability of the other provisions shall not be affected.

20. Entire Agreement

These Terms and Conditions, together with any written confirmation of booking and agreed quotation provided by the Company, constitute the entire Agreement between the Company and the Customer and supersede any previous understandings, agreements or representations relating to the subject matter.

No variation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is made in writing and agreed by the Company.
