Cancellation & Refund Policy
Safe Let Groups | SafeLetGroups.com | Last updated: 28 March 2026
Please read this policy carefully before booking. Safe Let Groups provides time-sensitive property services—including aerial and satellite removal, solar panel cleaning, Bulk item removal, end-of-tenancy cleaning, and Legionella assessments—that are often tied to fixed dates. Because last-minute cancellations cause unrecoverable costs, our terms reflect these commitments.
1. Your Right to Cancel (Consumers)
- 14-Day Cooling-Off Period: If you are a consumer booking for personal use, you have a 14-day cooling-off period from the date the contract is formed to cancel without charge.
- Starting Work Early: If you request in writing for work to begin within this 14-day period, you acknowledge that you lose the right to cancel without charge once work has commenced.
- Proportional Charges: If you cancel after work has started but before completion, you will be charged for the proportion of the Services completed.
- Business Clients: The 14-day cooling-off period does not apply to landlords, letting agents, or property managers; standard cancellation terms apply from the point of booking.
2. Cancellation Charges
If you cancel a confirmed booking, the following charges apply based on the notice given:
- More than 7 days before the scheduled start date: Your deposit is forfeited, but no further charge is applied.
- 3 to 7 days before the scheduled start date: A charge of 25% of the total quoted price applies.
- 24 to 72 hours before the scheduled start date: A charge of 50% of the total quoted price applies.
- Less than 24 hours before (or on the day): A charge of 75% of the total quoted price applies.
- Materials and Equipment: You will be charged for the full cost of any materials already ordered or specialist equipment hired on your behalf, regardless of notice given.
- Written Notice: All cancellations must be made in writing (email is acceptable) and are effective from the date and time received.
3. Deposits
- Deposits are non-refundable once the cooling-off period (where applicable) has expired.
- Deposits will be applied against your final invoice on completion.
- If you cancel within a valid cooling-off period and no work has commenced, your deposit will be refunded in full within 14 days.
4. Rescheduling
- Requests made more than 48 hours before the scheduled date will be accommodated where possible at no charge.
- Requests made within 48 hours of the start date may incur a rescheduling fee of up to 25% of the booking value.
- We will always try to offer a convenient alternative date before applying any charge.
5. Service-Specific Notes
- End of Tenancy Cleaning: We do not guarantee the return of a tenancy deposit. A re-clean may be offered if a specific complaint is raised within 24 hours of completion.
- Legionella Testing: Fees are non-refundable once testing has been carried out and a report issued.
- Bulk Item Removal: Cancellation is not possible once items have been collected and loaded; full payment will be due.
6. Cancellation by Us
- We reserve the right to cancel due to unsafe weather, unsafe property access, force majeure, or non-payment of a deposit.
- If we cancel through no fault of yours, we will offer a full refund of any deposit and an alternative booking date.
7. Refund Process
- Where a refund is due, it will be made using the original payment method wherever possible.
- Refunds are processed within 14 calendar days of confirmation.
