Working Hours

Spark Joy London always advises a consultation prior to booking a Tidying Sessions. During the consultation we will work with you to determine how many sessions you may require. It is not always possible however to give an accurate estimate and jobs may require more sessions/hours than initially thought depending on a variety of factors as each job and client is unique. 

The number of sessions is dependent on the following factors:

• The size of your home and volume of items to be addressed;

• The number of categories you want to commit to;

• Your pace in determining what ‘sparks joy’;

• Your preparation before each session;

• Your willingness to continue work independently following our session(s).

Typically one session will range from three to five hours, but will not exceed five hours unless Additional Hours are purchased. This amount of time is generally enough to see significant progress in any one category and very few comprehensive organising projects can be completed in less than three hours. 

Should the time of the session go over five hours, you will be charged £60 per hour for the hours worked. Spark Joy London will always inform you when the booked time is up and obtain your permission to continue if you wish to do so. Additional Hours can only be purchased in conjunction with a Tidying Session. 

Spark Joy London will always work at your own pace as tidying can be physically and emotionally demanding. Breaks can be taken as you wish, however please be aware that these breaks will count towards the duration of the booked session. Should the session duration take place during breakfast, lunchtime or dinner we may need to take a break (no more than half an hour) and you will not be charged for this time. This will be arranged prior to the session starting so you are aware of timings.

Working Conditions

Tidying is a very personal journey and requires concentration. Spark Joy London advises that you work one on one with a consultant. It is therefore strongly advised that family members, children, others you may share a home with and pets should not be present when a session is taking place. 

Access

Please ensure there is good access immediately outside your home and inside your home. Spark Joy London is unable to move furniture due to reasons of health and safety.

Should the working area be considered unsafe Spark Joy London reserves the right to cancel the session without refund.

Removal of possessions

The KonMari Method® focuses on deciding which of your possessions and items spark joy and whether you want to keep them. It is not uncommon through this process to find yourself parting with possessions or items that you decide no longer spark joy. The decision to keep or discard an item is entirely yours. We only guide you to help you determine what sparks joy in your life. Spark Joy London cannot be held liable for any possessions or items that have been discarded.

We encourage recycling items where possible or donations to registered charities. You may even choose to sell possessions or items that no longer spark joy. Spark Joy London is unable to provide a valuation service. In any event, possessions or items disposed of are your sole responsibility. Spark Joy London is unable to remove these from your home.

Photography

Spark Joy London uses before and after photographs to support a client's tidying journey and these photographs may be shared with KonMari® Media Inc. privately and for the purposes of demonstrating completion of our session only.

Spark Joy London uses before and after photographs to inspire others on this website and on social media platform. They are always anonymised; the client cannot be identified through the photograph. We will always ask for your expressed permission to use your photographs in this way. 

Recommendations

Spark Joy London may make suggestions on additional products and services by third parties. Although we always do our best to ensure we recommend high quality products and services we are unable to accept any responsibility or liability should the products or services cause you direct or consequential loss or damage. 

Cleaning

Spark Joy London is not a cleaning service and we are therefore unable to provide cleaning services. 

Travel Costs

All services paid for include travel costs provided the services are carried out in London zones 1-6 and/or within the County of Surrey. Outside of these areas  travel expenses and additional fees will be charged and pre-agreed before a session takes place.
