1. Nature of Work

Our property services encompass various tasks including, but not limited to, window cleaning, gutter clearing, fascia and soffit cleaning, conservatory cleaning, canal boat cleaning, solar panel cleaning, gutter installation, fascia and soffit installation,  moss removal and treatment and roofing maintenance.

2. Weather Conditions

All work is subject to appropriate weather conditions. We aim to carry out our services efficiently, but unforeseen weather circumstances may necessitate flexibility in appointment days.

We approach all work with appropriate skill and care, deploying competent staff to ensure the highest quality service.

4. Appointment Flexibility

We will always advise what day we will attend to do the work and our hours are from 8am to 4pm. Unfortunately we aren’t able to provide a definite time of arrival. Work schedules may need to be flexible due to very poor weather conditions, staff availability, and other ongoing projects. We will promptly communicate any changes to appointment days.

5. Complaints Procedure

Any complaints should be submitted in writing via email. We appreciate the opportunity to inspect and rectify any issues promptly. Please email: sam@sams.org.uk

6. Liability

Our liability is limited to the value of the work for which we have quoted. While we strive to deliver exceptional service, this limitation ensures fair and reasonable resolution in case of unforeseen circumstances.

7. Insurance

We carry public and employer liability insurance. Specific coverage amounts are available upon request.

8. Access to Property

To ensure the successful completion of our services, customers are required to provide full access to the appropriate parts of the property. Should full access not be available on the appointment day then we will, unfortunately, still need to charge the full amount whilst cleaning everything we can access safely..

9. Indemnification

The customer agrees to indemnify and hold our company harmless for any damages or liabilities that may arise from the services provided.

10. Subcontractors

On occasion, we may bring in subcontractors to assist with certain aspects of the work.

13. Cancellations

Cancellations within 48 hours of the scheduled appointment require payment in full.

Cancellations with more than 48 hours’ notice incur no charge, but no refund of deposits if costs have already been incurred.
