Please read these terms carefully before placing a booking. If you do not agree to any part of these terms, you should not proceed with a booking or use our services.

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 services from Oven Cleaning Chiswick.

Company, we, us or our means Oven Cleaning Chiswick, the provider of oven cleaning and related services.

2. Service Area

Oven Cleaning Chiswick primarily serves customers in Chiswick and surrounding areas in West London. Acceptance of a booking is always subject to availability of technicians and confirmation that the premises are within our operational area. We reserve the right to decline bookings outside our usual service coverage or to apply additional charges where travel distances or access difficulties significantly increase the time or cost required to deliver the services.

3. Booking Process

3.1 Bookings may be requested by customers via our online contact channels or other methods as we may make available from time to time. All bookings are subject to confirmation by the Company.

3.2 When you request a booking, you must provide accurate and complete information, including your name, service address, description of the appliances to be cleaned, preferred date and time, and any relevant access or parking information. We rely on this information to allocate the correct amount of time and resources for your appointment.

3.3 Any time or date proposed for the services is an estimate only until confirmed by us. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your preferred time, but we cannot guarantee availability until we issue a confirmation.

3.4 Your booking is accepted and a contract is formed when we send you a booking confirmation specifying the date, approximate arrival window, and indicative price for the services. We may issue this confirmation verbally or in writing, depending on the communication method used.

3.5 The Company reserves the right to refuse or cancel any booking at its discretion, including where adequate information has not been provided, the service requested is unsafe or unsuitable, or the premises are outside our reasonable service area.

4. Service Description

4.1 We provide professional oven cleaning services designed to remove grease, carbon deposits and general soiling from domestic and selected commercial ovens, hobs, grills and extractor components, as agreed at the time of booking.

4.2 Unless otherwise agreed, our services are limited to external and internal cleaning of the appliance and removable parts only. We do not provide appliance repairs, gas work or electrical work, and we will not dismantle the appliance beyond manufacturer guidelines or safe working practice.

4.3 While we will use reasonable skill and care to achieve the best possible cleaning result, the outcome may be limited by the age and condition of the appliance, existing damage, heavy corrosion or baked-on carbon that cannot be safely removed without risk of harm to the surface or structure.

4.4 Our technicians will use professional cleaning solutions and equipment appropriate for oven cleaning. If you have any allergies, sensitivities or specific requirements relating to chemicals or cleaning processes, you must inform us at the time of booking.

5. Pricing and Quotations

5.1 Prices may be provided as a fixed quotation or an estimate based on the information you supply. Quotations are valid only for the appliances and scope of work described at the time of booking.

5.2 We reserve the right to revise the quoted price if the information provided at the time of booking was inaccurate or incomplete, or if upon arrival the technician finds that the job is substantially different or more extensive than reasonably anticipated.

5.3 Any revision to price will be discussed with you before work proceeds. If you do not accept the revised price, we may cancel the service, and a call-out or cancellation fee may apply in accordance with these terms.

6. Payments

6.1 Payment for services is due on completion of the work on the day of service unless otherwise agreed in advance in writing. For certain bookings, we may request a deposit at the time of booking, which will be deducted from the final amount payable.

6.2 We may accept various methods of payment, which can include cash, card payments or bank transfers, as made available by us from time to time. We do not accept payment by cheque unless explicitly agreed before the appointment.

6.3 For business customers or repeat clients with approved credit arrangements, invoices are payable within the payment terms shown on the invoice. If no payment terms are specified, payment is due within 14 days of the invoice date.

6.4 The Company reserves the right to charge interest and reasonable administration costs on late payments. Interest may be charged at the statutory rate applicable to business debts in England and Wales or, where relevant, at the rate specified in any separate agreement with the customer.

7. Cancellations and Rescheduling

7.1 If you wish to cancel or reschedule your appointment, you must notify us as early as possible. Cancellations or changes made with short notice may be subject to charges as set out below.

7.2 For standard domestic bookings, cancellations or rescheduling with at least 48 hours notice prior to the agreed appointment time will ordinarily be accepted without charge.

7.3 If you cancel or reschedule with less than 48 hours notice, we may charge a cancellation fee up to a reasonable proportion of the quoted service price to cover our lost time and costs.

7.4 If a technician arrives at the premises and is unable to gain access, or the job cannot proceed due to circumstances within your control, this may be treated as a late cancellation and a call-out or cancellation fee may be charged.

7.5 The Company reserves the right to cancel or reschedule an appointment in the event of technician illness, vehicle breakdown, severe weather conditions, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control. In such cases we will attempt to provide as much notice as possible and will offer the next available appointment. We will not be liable for any losses arising from such cancellation or delay.

8. Customer Obligations and Access

8.1 You must ensure that the premises are accessible at the agreed time and that there is a responsible adult present throughout the appointment to grant access, discuss requirements, and inspect the work on completion.

8.2 You must provide a safe working environment for our technician, including adequate lighting, running water, electrical supply and, where applicable, safe parking or unloading space nearby. You must notify us in advance of any parking restrictions so that suitable arrangements can be made.

8.3 Ovens and other appliances must be in a reasonably empty and accessible state. We may decline to handle or remove personal items, cookware, or food from the appliance. Any delay caused by the need to clear the area may incur additional charges.

8.4 You are responsible for supervising children, pets and any vulnerable persons at the premises while the technician is working, to ensure safety and avoid disruption to the service.

9. Waste Handling and Environmental Regulations

9.1 In the course of providing oven cleaning services, waste may be generated, including used cleaning materials, loosened debris and packaging. We follow applicable regulations and good practice for the handling, storage and disposal of such waste.

9.2 The majority of waste generated during the cleaning process will be removed by the technician and disposed of in accordance with relevant waste and environmental regulations. In some cases, minor non-hazardous waste may be left for disposal through normal household or business refuse systems.

9.3 We use cleaning products that are suitable for professional use. Where required by law, we hold appropriate registrations or arrangements with waste carriers and disposal facilities. We aim to minimise environmental impact and to use solutions that balance cleaning effectiveness with responsible waste management.

9.4 If your premises have specific waste policies or restrictions, you must inform us in advance so that we can assess whether our service can be delivered in compliance with those requirements.

10. Liability and Limitations

10.1 The Company will exercise reasonable skill and care in providing the services. If you are not satisfied with the standard of work, you must notify us within 48 hours of completion so that we have an opportunity to inspect and, where appropriate, rectify the issue.

10.2 Our liability for any loss or damage arising out of or in connection with the services is limited to the price paid or payable for the specific appointment during which the issue occurred, except where such limitation is not permitted by law.

10.3 We are not liable for pre-existing damage, deterioration or defects in your appliance, units, worktops, flooring or surrounding areas. This includes but is not limited to damage caused by age, wear and tear, faulty installation, corrosion, or misuse prior to our visit.

10.4 We are not liable for any discolouration or damage where further cleaning action would reasonably be expected to risk harm to the surface or structure. In such cases the technician may advise that further removal of deposits is not safe or recommended.

10.5 We are not responsible for any consequential or indirect losses, including loss of profit, loss of business, loss of enjoyment, or any cost of replacing food or other items that must be removed from the appliance for cleaning.

10.6 Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for any other matter for which liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under the laws of England and Wales.

11. Appliances and Warranties

11.1 It is your responsibility to ensure that your appliance is in good working order and safe to use before the service. If the technician reasonably believes that an appliance is unsafe or presents a risk, they may decline to proceed with the service.

11.2 We will not be liable for any impact on manufacturer warranties arising from the normal provision of our cleaning services, particularly where warranty conditions prohibit or restrict the use of third-party services or products. You should check your warranty terms if this is a concern.

12. Complaints and Disputes

12.1 If you have any concerns about the services provided, you should contact us as soon as possible, and in any event within 48 hours of the appointment, so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, arrange a revisit or other remedy.

12.2 We aim to resolve complaints promptly and fairly. You agree to give us a reasonable opportunity to inspect any alleged defect or issue before undertaking remedial work yourself or through a third party.

12.3 If a dispute cannot be resolved directly between the parties, both you and we agree to consider reasonable forms of alternative dispute resolution before starting court proceedings, without limiting the right of either party to pursue legal action where necessary.
