Terms and Conditions for Carpetcleaning W9
These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which professional carpet cleaning services are provided to customers in the United Kingdom. By making a booking, you agree to these terms in full. They are intended to be clear, fair, and practical, covering the service process, payment arrangements, cancellations, liability, waste handling, and the law that applies to the agreement. In these terms, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the service provider, and references to “you” or “the customer” mean the person requesting the service.
These terms apply to all domestic and commercial bookings for carpet cleaning in W9 and related cleaning services unless a separate written agreement states otherwise. If any part of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining sections will continue to apply. We may update these terms from time to time, and the version that applies will be the one in force at the time your booking is accepted. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights under UK consumer law.
Please read this document carefully before placing a booking. By requesting a quotation, confirming an appointment, or allowing work to begin, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted the terms below. We encourage customers to provide accurate information about the property, the type of carpet cleaning service required, and any relevant access or safety issues so that the service can be delivered properly.
Booking Process
Bookings are normally made after an initial enquiry and a review of the customer’s requirements. Any quotation provided is based on the information supplied at the time and may change if the actual condition, size, or nature of the job differs from what was described. A booking is only confirmed when we have accepted the request and provided confirmation of the date, time, and scope of work. We reserve the right to refuse a booking where the requested work is unsuitable, unsafe, outside the scope of our service, or unavailable at the required time.
Before the appointment, you should ensure that the areas to be cleaned are accessible and reasonably prepared. This includes removing small personal items, valuables, breakables, and fragile objects from the working area. Where required, you should advise us of anything that may affect the cleaning process, such as stains, odours, recent flooding, loose carpet sections, underfloor heating, or special materials. Failure to provide accurate information may affect the outcome of the carpet cleaning and may result in additional charges if the original quotation needs to be revised.
Service Delivery
We will carry out the work with reasonable care and skill using methods, products, and equipment that we consider suitable for the carpet type and the condition of the property. While we aim to achieve the best possible results, you understand that cleaning outcomes can vary depending on fibre type, previous wear, age, staining, and the condition of the carpet. Some stains, marks, or odours may be permanent or may return after treatment, especially where they have been present for a long time or have penetrated underlay or subfloor materials.
The customer must provide a safe working environment, including access to water, electricity, and necessary entry to the property at the agreed time. If we cannot begin or complete the job because of restricted access, missing utilities, unsafe conditions, or lack of cooperation, we may charge a call-out fee, a waiting fee, or the full or partial service fee depending on the circumstances. Any agreed time for arrival is an estimate, not a guarantee, and may be affected by traffic, previous appointments, weather, or unforeseen operational issues.
Payments
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due on completion of the service on the same day. We may require a deposit for larger jobs, repeat bookings, or commercial work. If a deposit is taken, it will be deducted from the final invoice unless the booking is cancelled in line with these terms. All prices are quoted in pounds sterling and may be stated inclusive or exclusive of VAT depending on the nature of the service provider and the quotation issued.
You must pay the full amount stated on the invoice, including any agreed additional charges for extra rooms, stubborn stains, special treatment, parking, congestion, waiting time, or additional labour caused by inaccurate information or changes requested on site. If payment is not made when due, we may charge reasonable recovery costs and statutory interest where permitted by law. We reserve the right to withhold future services until outstanding sums are paid in full.
Any discount, promotional offer, or special price applies only to the specific booking and only under the conditions stated at the time of offer. Such offers cannot usually be combined unless expressly permitted. Quotations are valid for a limited period and may be withdrawn if the job is not booked within the stated time. We may also adjust the final price if the actual service differs materially from the original description provided by the customer.
Cancellations and Rescheduling
You may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving reasonable notice. If you cancel more than 24 hours before the agreed appointment, no cancellation fee will normally apply, unless a non-refundable deposit has been clearly stated at the time of booking. If you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, or if our team arrives but cannot gain access, we may charge a cancellation fee or a proportion of the agreed price to cover lost time and costs.
If we need to cancel or reschedule due to illness, safety concerns, equipment failure, severe weather, or other events beyond our control, we will aim to offer an alternative appointment as soon as reasonably possible. We are not responsible for any loss you suffer as a result of a reasonable cancellation or rescheduling, provided we act with due care and notify you as soon as we can. We will not be liable for indirect or consequential losses caused by such changes.
Liability and Limitations
We will exercise reasonable care and skill when providing professional carpet cleaning services, but our liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under UK law. Subject to those protections, we are not responsible for pre-existing damage, hidden defects, structural issues, or wear that becomes visible during or after cleaning.
You should inform us of any known risks, such as fragile dye, unstable seams, carpet lifting, or prior repairs. Where carpets are particularly old, delicate, or poorly maintained, cleaning may cause fibres to loosen, colours to fade, or existing defects to become more noticeable. In such cases, the customer accepts that some risk is inherent in the service. We do not guarantee restoration to a like-new condition, and our responsibility is limited to carrying out the agreed work with reasonable care.
If any item of your property is damaged as a direct result of our negligence, our liability will generally be limited to the reasonable cost of repair or replacement, taking into account age, condition, and depreciation. We will not be liable for damage caused by unsuitable materials, customer instructions, lack of disclosure, or failure to follow post-cleaning care advice. You must notify us of any alleged issue within a reasonable time after completion so that we can inspect the matter and, where appropriate, investigate it properly.
Waste Regulations and Environmental Handling
We aim to carry out carpet cleaning in a responsible way and to handle waste in compliance with applicable UK environmental and waste disposal laws. Any waste produced during the service, including removed debris, disposable materials, and contaminated items resulting from the cleaning process, will be handled in accordance with lawful disposal practices. Where waste removal is included in the service, this will cover only the materials specifically agreed in advance.
You remain responsible for ensuring that any items you ask us to remove are lawful to dispose of and do not contain hazardous substances unless this has been discussed and agreed beforehand. We will not handle illegal, dangerous, toxic, or regulated waste unless we are expressly authorised and legally permitted to do so. If we discover materials that must be treated as controlled waste, we may suspend the service and request further instructions or additional arrangements. Any extra costs arising from specialist disposal requirements may be charged to you.
We may use cleaning solutions, water, extraction equipment, and other products that are suitable for the task and intended to minimise environmental impact where reasonably possible. However, the customer must advise us of any sensitivities, restrictions, or site-specific rules that may affect product choice or waste handling. Where wastewater or residue must be managed in a particular way, we will use reasonable care to comply with the applicable requirements.
Customer Responsibilities
The customer is responsible for providing accurate booking details, ensuring lawful access to the property, and obtaining any necessary permission from landlords, managing agents, leaseholders, or other relevant parties. You must make sure that the area is safe for our team to work in and that pets, children, and vulnerable persons are kept away from the work area during the service. We may pause or stop work if conditions are unsafe or if the service cannot be completed without unnecessary risk.
You should remove or protect items that may be affected by moisture, cleaning agents, or equipment movement. This includes electrical items, documents, soft furnishings, and any possessions that are especially delicate or valuable. Unless we have agreed otherwise in writing, we do not accept responsibility for moving heavy furniture, disconnecting appliances, or handling items that require specialist care. It is your responsibility to advise us of any such requirements in advance.
Complaints and Aftercare
If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of the service, you should notify us promptly so that we can review the issue. Complaints must be raised within a reasonable time after the service has been completed. We may ask for photographs, a description of the concern, or an opportunity to inspect the area. Where a genuine issue is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill, we may offer a re-clean, a partial refund, or another appropriate remedy, depending on the circumstances.
Any aftercare advice provided is intended to help the carpet dry safely and remain in good condition after treatment. The customer should follow the guidance given, including keeping foot traffic to a minimum while the carpet dries and avoiding the use of additional products that may affect the result. We are not responsible for deterioration caused by misuse, failure to ventilate the room, or the application of third-party products after the service.
Force Majeure
We will not be liable for delays or failure to perform our obligations where such delay or failure results from events outside our reasonable control. These may include but are not limited to severe weather, fire, flood, accident, civil disruption, transport disruption, equipment failure, industrial action, illness, or supply shortages. In such circumstances, we will seek to complete the service within a reasonable time or arrange a new appointment if possible.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising from them or in connection with them, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where consumer law gives you the right to bring proceedings in another part of the United Kingdom. If any disagreement cannot be resolved amicably, the parties agree to act reasonably and attempt a fair resolution before starting formal proceedings.
By confirming a booking for carpet cleaning services, you agree that these terms form the basis of the contract between you and us. They are designed to protect both parties, clarify expectations, and ensure the service is delivered professionally, transparently, and in line with UK legal standards.
