To summarise accepted methods:
- Visa & Mastercard: Card payments are processed via tokenised gateways that prevent raw card numbers from being stored on our systems.
- PayPal: Use your PayPal account for a layer of account-level protection and fraud monitoring.
- Bank transfer: Direct payments for business-to-business tenancy cleaning invoices are available; please allow standard banking processing times.
Secure Tenancy Clean Payments: Encryption and Compliance
All card payment pages for tenancy clean bookings are delivered over SSL encryption (HTTPS). SSL encrypts data in transit so card numbers, security codes and personal details cannot be read by third parties during transmission. We use industry-standard TLS protocols to ensure the highest available level of encryption.
In addition to SSL, our payment handling and storage practices align with PCI DSS requirements. We do not store full primary account numbers on our servers; instead, we rely on PCI-compliant processors and tokenisation to protect cardholders. This means tenancy cleaning payments are managed under strict card security rules and routine compliance checks.
How your payment data is protected
When you make a tenancy cleaning payment, the payment provider performs multiple security checks. These may include fraud detection, address verification (AVS), and 3D Secure authentication where available. These safeguards reduce unauthorised charges and improve trust for both tenants and landlords paying for end of tenancy clean services.

We also follow internal policies for data minimisation: we collect only what is required to complete a tenancy clean booking and to satisfy regulatory obligations. Sensitive data such as full card numbers are either never captured by our servers or are stored in encrypted vaults managed by our PCI-compliant payment partner.

For bank transfers, payment details are limited to invoice references and bank receipt confirmation. This makes reconciliation straightforward while lowering risk compared with transmitting card details. Please retain your bank confirmation until your tenancy clean is completed.
Refunds and cancellations for tenancy cleaning payments are processed through the same secure channels used for initial payment. If a refund is required, it will be issued back to the original payment method whenever possible and is subject to our standard cleaning service terms. Bank transfer refunds may take longer due to banking system timings.
To maintain security for all tenancy clean transactions, we recommend that you: use private devices when entering card details, avoid public Wi‑Fi for payments, and keep login credentials for payment accounts confidential. Always check for HTTPS and the padlock icon before entering sensitive information.
Privacy and legal compliance: Our processing of payment and personal data complies with applicable data protection laws. Records required for accounting and tax purposes are stored securely and access is limited to authorised personnel only.
For businesses and estate agents booking multiple tenancy cleans, we offer invoicing and secure bank transfer options to streamline payments. Our systems support consolidated billing while retaining the security features described above so larger-volume tenancy cleaning customers can remain compliant and protected.
We continuously monitor security standards and update our systems to follow best practices for tenancy cleaning payments. Regular vulnerability assessments, third-party audits and partnership with PCI-certified payment gateways help us keep your payment experience both convenient and secure.
Summary: Tenancy Cleans payment processing combines accepted card methods (Visa, Mastercard), PayPal, and bank transfer with SSL/TLS encryption, PCI compliance, tokenisation and fraud controls to protect every tenancy clean payment from booking through completion.
