Terms &
Conditions Exterior cleaning
The surface requiring attention
will be thoroughly cleaned and we will always take great care
to produce the best result possible.
However, with heavy deposits
of, for example, grease, some faint traces may be left behind
despite the use of specialist products to dissolve the grease
and time and effort being spent. This is because some surfaces
will absorb stains.
Though we always do our best,
it is not Immaculate Exterior's claim to be able to leave surfaces
as they were before contamination (i.e. when new).
It is the customer's responsibility
to identify any electrical points, equipment and any other items
or fittings etc that may be sensitive to moisture. The customer
is responsible for their protection and repair if required.
Care will be taken during the
cleaning of or around windows and doors. If liquid enters through
such areas then power washing can be curtailed if requested.
These areas can be washed by hand instead though this may incur
extra labor costs at the customer's expense.
Immaculate Exteriors will take
the utmost care not to direct water into the property but cannot
be held liable for any damage caused by moisture entering the
property.
If Immaculate Exteriors cleans
near, for example, old paint work on masonry or wood, flakes
of this paint may be dislodged during cleaning. In such situations,
reinstatement or redecoration of areas close to cleaning carried
out by Immaculate Exteriors is the customer's responsibility.
Very small amounts of non-hazardous
ingredients, not classified as hazardous chemicals, may be used.
Many are under the Directive 88/379/ EEC and the CHIP Regulations
1996 (UK).
Most non-hazardous chemicals
are biodegradable and, whilst not corrosive on plants and vegetation,
we will wash off splashes with clean water. This will be done
to vegetation near to where work is being carried out but no
guarantee is implied or given that some plants will not react
to some chemicals used.
It is the customer's responsibility
to inform properties next door or nearby, fellow workers and,
if necessary, the public that work is being carried out.
It is the customer's responsibility
to make provisions if necessary to maintain safely any public
rights of way during the work.
It is the customer's responsibility
to take adequate measures to safeguard other peoples' property,
clothing, vehicles etc. by covering them if necessary.
Chemicals and other consumables
can vary. Immaculate Exteriors reserves the right to amend the
costs accordingly should any unforeseen costs arise.
Sample areas that represent the
desired degree of cleanliness are to be approved by the client
before the whole area is cleaned and the accepted sample area
preserved for reference until the end of the job. This existence
of a "clean" sample for comparison and an agreement
can avoid unpleasant surprises and misunderstandings. The test
areas will be done for a quoted price based on; time, travelling
and materials used.
High winds, very heavy rain and
frost can prevent work. Once the temperature falls below 50C
or a frost is forecast for that night then work will be stopped.
Extra cost of any hire equipment
due to any delay in the work caused by bad weather, or caused
by the customer, must be covered by the customer.
If at anytime whilst carrying out the work it is found that
the achieved degree of cleanliness is not acceptable for whatever
reason then the client and Immaculate Exteriors must decide
whether to continue or to stop work. If it is decided to cease
work the client will pay for the area of cleaning done to date,
(proportion of total area of quotation.) If however a different
method can be established and approved work may continue, an
adjustment to the quote may be necessary.
A deposit of between 10% and 50% may be required before work
can start. This will be noted on the quotation.
Payment of the balance is due
once work is completed.
