Professionally drafted UK cleaning contract templates for self-employed cleaners. Client agreements, cancellation policies, key holding contracts, and GDPR forms — editable, instant download.
A cleaning contract protects you from late cancellations, non-payment, and damage disputes. Our templates are drafted specifically for UK self-employed cleaners — not generic service agreements. They cover scope of work, cancellation with notice periods, key holding arrangements, GDPR compliance, and liability for damage that standard templates miss.
Document Templates
Six professionally drafted templates — each addressing a specific gap that handwritten agreements and online templates leave unprotected.
What it is: The complete client contract covering every cleaning job you take on.
Why you need it: Without a signed agreement, clients can dispute rates, cancel without notice, or refuse payment.
What it is: Website and business terms governing how clients engage your cleaning services.
Why you need it: Sets out your right to refuse work, pricing terms, and client obligations before the first clean.
What it is: Legally enforceable cancellation terms that protect your income.
Why you need it: Last-minute cancellations cost you money — written terms make clients think twice.
What it is: Client data handling consent for UK data protection compliance.
Why you need it: Holding client names, addresses, and key details without consent puts you at risk of ICO fines.
What it is: Protection for cleaners who hold client keys between visits.
Why you need it: Without written terms, you're liable if keys are lost or if a client claims unauthorised access.
What it is: Pre-clean and post-clean documentation for every visit.
Why you need it: Provides dated evidence if a client claims you caused damage that was there before.

Trusted by Cleaners
"I'd been using a handwritten agreement for 3 years. A client disputed a cancellation charge and I had nothing in writing. The CleanerContracts template paid for itself the first time I used it."
Sarah, Domestic Cleaner — Manchester
"The inventory report alone saved me £400 when a landlord tried claiming I'd damaged a carpet. I had the signed before-and-after report from the template. Case closed."
Mark, End of Tenancy Specialist — Bristol
