🧹 Built for UK self-employed cleaners

Get paid. Keep your keys. Stay protected.

ChatGPT writes service agreements for "contractors." These are for UK self-employed cleaners — key holding terms that hold when a relationship ends, insurance wording your insurer recognises, and a contract clients sign before you ever take a key.

Do I need a contract for regular clients?
Yes — absolutely. A written contract sets out your rate, schedule, what happens if they cancel, and your liability limits. Without one you have no protection if a client disputes your invoice or claims you damaged something. Your Service Contract covers all of this and takes 30 seconds to fill.
What should my key holding agreement say?
At minimum: that keys are held securely, how they are returned if the arrangement ends, what happens if a key is lost, and your liability limit. Your Key Holding Agreement is already written — you just add your name.

Why CleanerContracts

Not a generic service agreement. Not a ChatGPT template. Written for cleaners.

Most cleaning disputes start with something not written down at the start — who holds the keys, who is responsible for what, what happens if something breaks.

🔑

Key holding done properly

Key holding terms that cover what happens when the arrangement ends, liability if a key is lost, and how keys are returned. Clients sign before you ever take a key.

⚠️

Damage disputes settled before they start

A pre-existing damage clause means a client can't claim you broke something that was already broken. Written for UK insurance, not generic disclaimers.

🇬🇧

UK sole trader specific

HMRC-compliant invoice template, UK GDPR wording for client records, and contract terms specific to domestic and commercial cleaning. Not adapted from an American template.

One client who disputes an invoice or claims you damaged something costs £50–200 in time and stress. £19 for documents that protect you from day one is the most obvious spend in your business.

Questions

Common questions

Do I need a contract if I only clean for one family?
Yes — even for a single regular client. Without a contract you have no protection if they dispute your rate, claim you damaged something, or simply stop paying. Most disagreements between cleaners and clients happen because nothing was written down at the start.
Am I liable if I break something while cleaning?
Potentially — which is why your Insurance Disclaimer is important. It outlines what your insurance covers, requires clients to tell you about fragile items in advance, and sets reasonable liability limits. Most domestic cleaner insurance policies will cover accidental damage; the disclaimer documents the terms clearly.
What if a client won't sign a contract?
A client who refuses to sign a basic service contract is a red flag. Most professional clients expect paperwork and it builds trust rather than undermining it. If they genuinely won't sign, consider whether you want them as a long-term client — they're usually the ones who dispute invoices later.
Do I need to be insured to use these documents?
You should have public liability insurance regardless — it protects you if a client claims you caused injury or property damage. These documents work alongside your insurance, not instead of it. CleanerContracts recommends getting cover through a specialist cleaner insurer before taking on any clients.
