Specific Work Conditions:

3.7        HVAC Hygiene

3.7.1    External cleaning of plant or ductwork if included, shall be itemised as a separate cost.

3.7.2    Our Quotations and Offers given, and orders accepted, are on the basis of drawings provided or estimated quantities. Should it be found, in Our sole opinion, that the installation is significantly different or if turning vanes, dampers or any other obstructions were not clearly evident at the sales visit or in offering a quotation, then We reserve the right to alter the price accordingly to take account of such additional or unforeseen elements.

3.7.3    It shall be the Client’s responsibility to advise Us before Quotation if ductwork is contained within difficult-to-access voids which may constitute confined space works; and should the Client fail to do so then We reserve the right to increase the price to take account of additional time taken and materials used; but in any event We shall not be responsible for failure to perform or to complete any works not so previously identified.

3.7.4     Should the Client be uncertain about the issues noted in clause 3.7.3, it should request Us to perform an advance inspection of the complete system, which We may perform for a nominal fee.

3.7.5    All ductwork cleaning where fully accessible will meet BESA verification standards as currently detailed in TR19 Air Version 1 – April 2024 the Specification for Internal Cleanliness and Hygiene Management of Ventilation Systems. Verification tests can be conducted for independent analysis, for an additional fee.

3.7.6    The Client is required to remove any sensors that protrude into the ductwork. We shall not be held responsible for resulting damage where this is not done.

3.8        Water Hygiene

3.8.1    It should be understood that with tank refurbishment, in severe cases the removal of scale and heavy corrosion could reveal holes in the tank walls. A repair would be carried out as a variation at an additional charge on a time and materials basis.

3.8.2    Unless made known to Us prior to any Quotations and Offers given by Us, We may assume that all isolation valves, taps and outlets are operational. Any inoperative parts would be repaired at an additional charge, on a time and materials basis. Delays caused by faulty equipment will be charged additionally at an hourly rate consistent with the underlying contract and the time of performance.

3.8.3    De-scaling shall only be carried out if clearly stated in Our Quotation or in the Client’s pre-Quotation instruction, and to the extent that such de-scaling is identified therein.

3.8.4    The Client undertakes to ensure that any drainage facility or pipe allocated for tank drain-down is free-flowing and fit for purpose.

3.9        Kitchen environments

3.9.1    The Client must appreciate that: (i) at the time of conducting a pre-work survey or preparing a Quotation/Service Proposal, it is normally impossible to fully assess the extent of contamination because the full extent of the grease deposits cannot be seen until Our operative obtains unhindered internal access to the ductwork, which will not be until the job takes place; and (ii) Our Quotation/Service Proposal will be made on the basis of what We can see during the pre-work survey and on advice from the Client. Unless otherwise advised We will assume that grease levels in ductwork have been controlled in line with TR19 Grease. Should grease deposits turn out to be exceptionally heavy, requiring significant unanticipated manual scraping, then an additional charge may be added on a time and materials basis.

3.9.2    It should be noted that the effective cleaning of a Kitchen Extract system requires the use of a certain amount of water and chemicals. Although all efforts are taken to contain effluent, We cannot be held responsible for leakage through poorly-jointed ducting.

3.9.3    It should be understood that the deep cleaning of old commercial extraction equipment will not necessarily give an “As New” appearance after cleaning.

3.9.4     All ductwork cleaning, where fully accessible, will meet BESA verification standards as detailed in TR19 Air Version 1 – April 2024 the Specification for Internal Cleanliness and Hygiene Management of Ventilation Systems and, as appropriate, the specification Fire Risk Management of Grease Accumulation within Kitchen Extraction Systems, TR/19 Grease.

3.9.5    If there is a fire suppression system installed within the Kitchen Extract system then, as per 2.23.3 of TR19 Grease, it is the Client’s responsibility to organise and pay for any isolation costs. If the fire suppression system is not isolated then We will nevertheless typically still clean the Kitchen Extract system in order to minimise cost to the Client and will take reasonable care not to trigger activation but this will be at the Client’s sole risk. If the Client fails to or chooses not to isolate the fire suppression system either before or during works then the Client accepts that in the event of an accidental activation of the fire suppression, the cost of making good and of any other consequences shall be the Client’s sole responsibility and the Client fully indemnifies Us. It shall also be the Client’s sole responsibility to re-connect the fire suppression system following the cleaning of the Kitchen Extract system and the Client additionally fully indemnifies Us against any consequences should the Client fail to do so.

3.9.6     The scope of Canopy Cleaning will, unless otherwise stated in Our Quotation/Service Proposal, only include the cleaning of the canopy plenum, which is the area of the canopy behind the filters and before the ductwork connects. Most insurance policies require the external parts of the canopy that are visible within the kitchen, and the filters, to be cleaned much more frequently than the canopy plenum and ductwork. Consequently, it shall be the sole responsibility of the Client to ensure that these areas are included in the routine cleaning carried out by kitchen staff, including the periodic replacement of filters in accordance with manufacturers’ instructions.

4. Independent Contractor

In providing Our Services, Swiftclean shall be an independent contractor, and the Client shall have no right to exercise supervision as to the manner or method by which Swiftclean provides its Services, except that Swiftclean’s employees and representatives shall adhere to the safety policies and procedures provided by the Client while on the Client’s premises.

5. Time for completion

    • Subject to Our entitlement to suspend in accordance with clause 9.10 (Payment), Swiftclean shall, as soon as it has possession of the site, proceed regularly and diligently with the works.
    • Should it not be reasonably possible to complete the works in the contracted time due to grease deposits being exceptionally heavy or for any other reason beyond Our reasonable control, We shall propose a follow-up visit as soon as We are able to schedule it and such visit shall be chargeable at the same rate; but We shall not be responsible for any consequences of delay before the follow-up visit.
    • Upon it becoming reasonably apparent that the progress of the works is or will be delayed, Swiftclean shall forthwith give written notice of the delay to the Client stating the cause and, where reasonably practical, the extent of the delay. Upon receipt of the said notice and where the delay is due to circumstances beyond Swiftclean’s control, the Client shall forthwith grant Swiftclean a fair and reasonable extension of time for completion of the works.
    • Where the progress of works is delayed or materially disrupted by any act, omission or default of the Client or those for whom they are respectively responsible, then the Client shall pay the agreed amount of direct loss and/or expense (including direct costs, overheads and loss of profit) as may be attributable to such delay or disruption.
    • The time allowed for completion shall be on the basis that Our standard Risk Assessment and Method Statement (RAMS) is used.

6. Force Majeure

Swiftclean shall be under no liability for any delay or failure to perform the Services or deliver the Products in the event that the performance, supply or delivery of the Services or Products (as appropriate) is prevented or delayed by any act or circumstances beyond Swiftclean’s reasonable control including but not limited to an Act of God, legislation, war, fire, drought, inclement weather, failure of power supply, lock-out, strike or other action taken by employees in contemplation or furtherance of a trade dispute or owing to any inability to procure materials required for the performance of the Services and where possible Swiftclean shall resume performance of its obligations as soon as the cause, prevention or delay is removed.

7. Prices

    • All prices quoted by Swiftclean are fixed for 3 months from the date of issue.
    • All prices are for normal working hours unless specified otherwise.
    • Swiftclean shall have the right at any time to revise prices to take account of increases in costs including (without limitation) costs of labour, materials, carriage or overheads.
    • Certification requested by the Client shall be itemised and charged for separately.
    • All prices quoted exclude VAT, which shall be added at the prevailing rate at the time of invoice.
    • Swiftclean shall not be bound by errors and omissions in its quotations or pricing, and reserves the right to correct the same at any time.

8. Additional Costs

The following non-exclusive possibilities are listed in order to aid the Client’s planning and hence to attempt to keep costs within the quoted price:

  • Should delays be caused because the Client fails to provide any of the items listed under section 3.6 or any other facility that is reasonably required for the unencumbered performance of the work OR
  • Should We be unable to access the relevant work areas due to obstructions or for any reason that is outside Our control, We shall be entitled to invoice and the Client will pay for the work as quoted (with the exception of goods that have not been supplied) as if the work had been completed, and We shall issue a new quotation/Service Proposal to the client for any re-visit, at a rate that is consistent with Our original quotation/Service Proposal, which shall be chargeable as an additional cost.
  • Last-minute changes to scheduled works have an unacceptable economic impact on Our business as they give Us insufficient time to reschedule works with other clients. For this reason, cancellation or postponement of works giving less than 48 hours’ notice in Working Days (i.e. excluding weekends and bank holidays) from the agreed start date, and also aborted calls, will be contractually chargeable at Our standard cancellation shift rates at the time of the scheduled works. The rates will be detailed on Our order acknowledgement and / or published on Our website and updated from time to time. The charges made will be based on the period for which the works were scheduled and the number of persons scheduled to perform the works in that period; or else if applicable, the number of persons that attended site and were unable to perform the works. If, however, the price for the scheduled works is less than the cancellation charges then the lower of the two charges will be applied. We will issue an invoice for cancelled, postponed, or aborted call charges, containing a reference to the original purchase order number. The Client hereby accepts and shall ensure that its accounts department is made aware of these extra charges and shall authorise payment to Us in accordance with Clause 9 (Payment) hereof.
  • In addition to Our rights under Clause 8.1.3, in the event that the Client cancels or postpones the works at any time after issuing the Purchase Order to Us then We may charge the Client for the cost of any materials or goods or equipment rentals that We have already purchased or ordered for the works from Our suppliers and that We are unable to return or cancel. In this event, We shall hold the said materials or goods on trust for the Client unless We would incur storage charges for doing so, in which case We may deliver them to the Client. Should We be able to cancel or return such materials or goods or equipment rentals, We may charge the Client for any cancellation charges or return costs that We incur.
  • Should the Client wish to use a Risk Assessment and Method Statement (RAMS) other than Our own standard RAMS, then unless Our quotation/Service Proposal specifically provides for training of Our field team in the Client’s RAMS, any time spent in training Our field service team in the client’s RAMS will be chargeable to the Client in addition to Our quoted price, at a rate consistent with our Quotation/Service Proposal and the time for performance of the works shall be extended accordingly.
  • If parking is not provided this will be charged at cost plus 20%.
  • If access door requirements differ from the estimate, the price will be adjusted accordingly on a pro-rata basis.
  • Should additional plant, equipment or property require cleaning/renovation over and above that detailed in the schedule then this will be charged on a pro-rata basis.

Unless otherwise specified, the prices offered assume continuous uninterrupted working. If the work has to be undertaken on a stage-by-stage basis, then additional costs may be charged at a rate that is consistent with Our original quotation/Service Proposal, which shall be chargeable as an additional cost.

  • Our standard hourly rates will be used for calculation of variations if rates are not previously agreed.
  • If prices are quoted on the basis of estimated volumes of work and the actual quantities are then found to vary from the estimate, then Swiftclean reserves the right to adjust the contract price accordingly on a pro-rata basis and the Client shall pay the price so adjusted.
  • Refer to items detailed in clauses 3.7-3.9 for specific work conditions.
  • The prices quoted are for normal working hours unless otherwise specified, these being Monday to Friday between 06.00 hours and 18.00 hours. A normal working day is approximately 8 hours on site inclusive of breaks, this may vary and will be at the supervisor’s discretion. If the client requires the work to be under taken outside these hours, then the prices shall be increased to reflect higher out-of-hours rates. The Client should notify Us at the earliest opportunity upon becoming aware of such requirements.

9. Payment

    • The Client shall pay to Swiftclean the contract sum together with any other sums payable under any other clause of these Terms & Conditions in accordance with the terms set out below and the Quotation/Service Proposal whether for invoicing in advance, monthly invoices, partial/stage invoices or invoices for complete services or for any other reason.
    • Clients who do not have a credit account with Swiftclean shall pay at the time of order placement, either by online payment to Swiftclean’s nominated bank account or else through the online payment portal on Swiftclean’s website, swiftclean.co.uk
    • Where payment in advance has been made, Swiftclean undertakes to hold such payment on trust until completion of the works and to apply such part of it as is relevant in accordance with the performance of the contract.
    • Where payment in advance is required, Swiftclean will not schedule the works until receipt of the payment in full.
    • In order to acquire a credit account, the Client must have completed an account application form and also be accepted for credit terms by Swiftclean in writing.
    • Unless other payment terms are agreed in writing by Swiftclean, all payments under credit terms are to be paid within 30 days of the date of invoice, without any deduction or set-off.
    • Where an application for payment is required, the client must within 14 calendar days either approve the application in full or else issue a written notice to Swiftclean specifying:
  • The amount of payment to be made in respect of the amount stated in the application for payment;
  • The basis for the calculation of such amount;
  • If the Client intends to deduct or withhold any monies, the sums of those monies and the reasons for the deductions.
  • If no such notice is received by Swiftclean within 14 calendar days from the date of the application, then the application will be deemed to be accepted in full. Swiftclean will thereupon issue the relevant invoice and the Client must pay within 30 days of the invoice date.
  • Invoices shall be payable in full. No retention shall be allowed or deducted.
  • Should any payment become overdue, Swiftclean may at its sole discretion suspend or withhold any services to the Client and will reschedule such services once payment has been received in full, and the time allowed for the performance of such services shall be extended accordingly.
  • If the Client fails to pay the full amount due to Swiftclean within the payment period under clause 9.6, then without prejudice to any other right or remedies exercisable by Swiftclean under these conditions or otherwise, the Client shall pay Swiftclean, in addition to the amount unpaid, simple interest thereon for such period until such payment is made. The rate payable shall be 8% over the base rate of the Bank of England current at the date the payment by the Client became overdue. Payment of interest under this sub clause shall be treated as a debt due to Swiftclean by the Client.

10. Title

10.1      Risk in any goods supplied by Us shall pass to the Client on delivery.

10.2      Subject to Clause 13 (Intellectual Property), title in any goods supplied by Us and in any report supplied by Us shall remain with Us until payment has been received by Us          in full in cleared funds of all sums that are or that may become due to Us from the      Client under this or any other agreement between the parties. Until such title passes:

10.2.1  We shall have authority to retake, sell or otherwise deal with and/or dispose of all or any part of the goods;

10.2.2  We, Our agents and employees shall be entitled at any time, and without the need to give notice, to enter unhindered upon any property upon which the goods or any part are located, or upon which We reasonably believe them to be located, and to dismantle and remove them.

10.2.4  The Client shall insure the goods to their full replacement value.

  • Our rights under this clause 10 shall become enforceable at any time should We fail to receive payment in full within Our payment terms as set out in clause 9 or such other terms as have been agreed by Us in writing but shall become enforceable immediately if the Client is or becomes insolvent or the Client encumbers or in any way charges any of the goods and/or reports.
  • On termination of this Agreement or Contract, howsoever caused, this clause 10 shall remain in effect.

11. Warranty and Limitation of Liability

    • We warrant that We will perform the services and supply products with reasonable skill and care.
    • Except as expressly provided in the Terms & Conditions, no warranty, condition, undertaking or term expressed or implied, statutory or otherwise, as to the condition, quality, performance, durability or fitness for purpose of the works executed and/or parts provided and or installed under any purchase order or contract that is subject to these Terms & Conditions is given by Us.
    • Where a manufacturer’s Guarantee/Warranty is applicable to any coating or lining material applied by Us, this will be passed onto the Client as being ‘correct at the time of issue’.
    • Guarantees/Warranties issued by materials manufacturers may be subject to alteration without prior notice from the manufacturer. Therefore, such Guarantees/Warranties are passed to the client by Us in good faith and are outside our control.
    • The rate at which ductwork or a kitchen extract system become coated in dust, dirt or grease is dependent on the individual circumstances of its use. Accordingly We give no guarantee or warranty as to the length of time before it requires cleaning again.
    • The responsibility for ensuring an adequate legionella control, cleaning and fire safety regime is and always remains entirely with the Client and any service provided by Us does not absolve or in any way waive the responsibility of the Client for the adequacy of its own safety management systems or management.
    • Where We issue a Guarantee/Warranty for Our workmanship in applying coatings and linings, it is subject to the Client performing or causing to be performed adequate ongoing inspection and/or periodic maintenance in accordance with the care instructions given by the manufacturer of the product and will be limited to the length of time specified by the manufacturer.
    • Should regular inspection and/or maintenance not be carried out by Us or by approved trained personnel in accordance with the care instructions, the Guarantee/ Warranty will be void.
    • We shall only be liable to make good any defects in the works which stem from faulty materials or bad workmanship, provided that: (i) We receive written notice of any defects within 12 months of the completion of the work; (ii) the coatings and linings pertinent to the works have been used under proper operating conditions; and (iii) the extent of Our liability in respect of such coatings and linings shall not exceed the extent of the Supplier’s or the Manufacturer’s liability to Us.
    • Completion of the works shall be deemed to have occurred and the Guarantee period to have commenced on the date on which We give written notice to the Client or his agent that the works are ready for use.
    • We shall not be liable for any defect that may occur in any previously existing system to which the works may be connected unless and solely to the extent that such defect is directly caused by a defect in the works for which We would be liable under this clause.
    • Without prejudice to clause 11.1 above or any terms implied by law, the Client shall indemnify and hold Swiftclean, its agents and employees harmless from and against all damages, judgements, costs or other expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising directly or indirectly as a consequence of any claim or charge made against Swiftclean or the Client in connection with the Products or Services rendered to the Client by Swiftclean except such damages, judgements, costs or expenses caused directly by Our negligence or by that of Our servant or agent.
    • In no event shall Swiftclean be liable to the Client or to others, except in the case of death or personal injury caused by Swiftclean’s negligence, for any indirect, special or consequential damage of any nature, whether foreseeable or not.
    • In no event shall Swiftclean’s liability in connection with the Products and Services, whether caused by, but not limited to, non-performance, defects, errors, breach of warranty or for any other reason, exceed the value of the contract between Swiftclean and the Client for the particular works in dispute.

12. Insurance

12.1      In the unlikely event of damage caused to any property of the client or persons due to negligence on the part of Swiftclean, We have Public Liability cover of up to £10,000,000.

12.2      We shall not be liable to the Client or to any other person or party for any direct, indirect or consequential or economic loss or damage except that covered by, but strictly limited to, the public liability insurance maintained by Us.

12.3      Should any Client consider the above insurance cover to be inadequate, it shall be the Client’s responsibility to contact Our office to arrange additional cover, which will be chargeable to the Client at additional cost.

13. Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property in any report submitted by Us to the Client shall remain vested in Us at all times. Upon receipt by Us of payment in full from the Client, We grant the Client an exclusive free licence to print and to use the report for the purpose of assessing its content.

14. Assignment

This Agreement may not be assigned by either party, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

15. Severance, illegality and waiver

15.1      If any term or provision in this Agreement shall in whole or in part be held to any extent to be illegal or unenforceable under any enactment or Law, that term or provision or part shall to that extent be deemed not to form part of this Agreement and the enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected.

15.2      No single or partial exercise, or failure or delay in exercising, of any right, power or remedy by any party shall constitute a waiver by that party of, or impair or preclude any further exercise of, that or any right, power or remedy arising under this Agreement or otherwise.

16. Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and may only be changed with the written consent of both parties.
