Ready-to-use UK cleaning contract templates for self-employed cleaners. Client agreements, cancellation policies, key holding contracts, and GDPR forms — fill in online, save as PDF.
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
Sixteen ready-to-use templates (6 Starter, 10 Pro only) — 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: Written 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: How you hold client data including address and access details — required under UK GDPR.
Why you need it: Clients hand over their address and key codes, so it helps to tell them in writing what you keep and for how long.
What it is: Formalises key and alarm code custody, liability for loss, and return on termination.
Why you need it: Holding a client's keys is a big trust, and writing down the rules for them avoids arguments if one goes missing.
What it is: Professional invoice with hours/rate or flat rate. Auto-incrementing number.
Why you need it: A clear invoice with payment terms and bank details gets you paid faster.
What it is: Check-in schedule, emergency contacts, and out-of-hours protocol for solo cleaning visits.
Why you need it: Most cleaning is done alone, so someone else should know where you are and what to do if you do not check in.
What it is: For cleaners you bring in — self-employed status, non-solicitation, payment terms.
Why you need it: When you bring in another cleaner, writing down how you work together keeps the arrangement clear for both of you.
What it is: Office/retail clients — scope, schedule, access, monthly invoicing, notice period.
Why you need it: Business clients expect agreed areas, visit times and invoicing terms set out before the first visit.
What it is: Fixed scope, pricing, re-clean policy, landlord access requirements.
Why you need it: Landlords and tenants often disagree about what a final clean includes, so it helps to agree the scope up front.
What it is: Record the hazardous substances you use, exposure risks, and control measures.
Why you need it: Cleaning products can be hazardous, and a written record shows what you use and how you handle it.
What it is: Combined RAMS for cleaning operations — hazard table, PPE requirements, and working method. Required by many commercial clients.
Why you need it: Offices and schools often ask to see a method statement before contractors start work.

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
"GDPR consent form was the one I was missing. Now every client signs it at the start and I'm fully compliant. The documents are proper, not generic. Worth every penny."
