Payment questions
How do I pay for regular window cleaning?
By Direct Debit through GoCardless. We request the payment only after your clean has been completed, and you are notified in advance. If the clean is not completed, you are not charged.
Can I pay by card?
Yes. You can pay by card on the day or ask the cleaner.
Can Direct Debit pay for one-off services?
Yes. The same Direct Debit can pay for one-off services such as pressure washing, gutter cleaning and roof cleaning.
Do I pay when I book online?
No. Nothing is taken when you book through the instant quote.
How does GoCardless Direct Debit work?
Cash, cheques and bank transfers all have problems that can result in lost funds and security issues. GoCardless is an automated direct debit that allows us to request payment directly from your account.
We request the payment only after your clean has been completed successfully. If for any reason your clean has not been completed, you will not be charged.
What is GoCardless?
GoCardless is a leading Direct Debit provider, processing over £5 billion in payments annually for more than 30,000 organisations in the UK, Europe and Australia, including Sage, TripAdvisor and Les Mills.
GoCardless is ISO 27001 accredited, (ISO 27001 is a widely recognised, internationally accepted standard for information security). It is also authorised by the UK Financial Conduct Authority to provide payment services as an Authorised Payment Institution across the European Union.
What are the benefits?
You only need to set up payment once – complete an online form and, unlike with a bank transfer, cash, cheque or card payment, you won’t have to remember to pay next time. Which means no accidental disruptions to your service.
Unless you change bank accounts, you won’t have to worry about updating your payment details either (unlike, if your debit card expires, or is lost or stolen).
Paying through GoCardless gives you certainty. You’ll know exactly how much you’re paying and when it will come out, which can help with budgeting.
With GoCardless you are notified that a payment is coming out in advance, giving you the chance to raise any issues about the payment.
With Direct Debit, your payments are protected. For example, in the UK, you are fully protected under the Direct Debit Guarantee, meaning you have the right to cancel and receive a full refund for any payment taken in error.
You can cancel the Direct Debit mandate at any time for example through your online banking, immediately stopping future payments (although this will, of course, affect access to your services).
