Start with the request
Check the cleaning service, postcode area and preferred date. Confirm whether the customer wants a regular or one-off service. Collect only what is needed to decide the next step.
Clarify before quoting
Confirm property size, priorities and any agreed extras directly. Keep sensitive access information out of the enquiry record. Write a clear scope and amount before sending the quote through your normal business channel.
Agree before recording a booking
Check your actual availability and get agreement to the scope, price and timing. An enquiry or a preferred date alone is not confirmation. Record the booking only after those checks.
Keep the next step visible
Use a status and follow-up date. If the customer cancels, update the record. Export and retain information according to your business privacy policy. This is operational guidance, not a legal assessment.
