Frequently asked questions
What is a service agreement used for?
Any ongoing or one-off service between a client and a provider: gardening, cleaning, window cleaning, catering, property maintenance, IT support. It puts the scope, schedule, price, and notice period in writing so both sides know exactly what was agreed.
Is a service agreement legally binding in the UK?
Yes — a signed agreement with clear services, price, and terms is generally a binding contract under UK law. This is a general template, not legal advice; for high-value or regulated services, have a solicitor review it.
Can either party cancel the agreement?
Yes — under the notice terms you set. This template lets both parties end the agreement with written notice (30 days is common), with the client paying for services properly performed up to that date.
Do I need to charge VAT?
Only if the provider is VAT-registered (compulsory above the registration threshold). If so, state whether the agreed price includes VAT, and invoice accordingly — you can pair this agreement with our free UK invoice template.
