Terms and Conditions for Carpetcleaning W13
These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Carpetcleaning W13 provides domestic and commercial cleaning services in the UK. By making a booking, confirming an appointment, or allowing work to begin, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms. They are intended to be clear, fair, and practical, and should be read together with any written quotation, job confirmation, or service note issued for the relevant carpet cleaning service.
In these terms, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the service provider, while “you” and “your” refer to the person, business, or organisation requesting the cleaning. These terms apply to all carpet and upholstery cleaning services, including stain treatment, deodorising, rug care, and related cleaning work carried out under the Carpetcleaning W13 name. Nothing in this document affects your statutory rights as a consumer under UK law.
We aim to keep our service process transparent. Because carpet cleaning often involves different fibre types, stains, access conditions, and drying times, the final outcome may depend on factors outside our control. These terms explain what is included, how bookings are arranged, when payment is due, how cancellations work, and how responsibility is handled if issues arise. They also explain our obligations regarding waste handling and the governing law that applies to the agreement.
1. Booking process
Bookings may be made by phone, email, online form, message, or any other method we make available from time to time. A booking request is only an offer from you to purchase a carpet cleaning service; it does not become a confirmed appointment until we accept it. We may refuse or decline a booking at our discretion, including where we believe the work is unsafe, unsuitable, outside our service scope, or not feasible within the requested time.
When you request a carpet cleaning appointment, you must provide accurate information about the property, access, parking, the number of rooms or items to be cleaned, the condition of the carpets, known stains, pets, and any other relevant details. If the information provided is incomplete or inaccurate, the price, time required, cleaning method, or results may need to be adjusted. Any quotation we provide is based on the details supplied at the time of booking and may change if the actual work differs significantly from the description given.
A booking will normally be confirmed once we issue an acceptance message, written confirmation, or appointment slot. We may ask for a deposit, pre-authorisation, or full payment in advance for certain services, especially where materials are reserved, large jobs are scheduled, or the booking is made at short notice. Confirmation may also be conditional on receipt of access details, special instructions, or agreement to any site-specific requirements.
It is your responsibility to ensure that someone is present to grant access at the agreed time, unless we have agreed otherwise in writing. Delays caused by locked premises, missing keys, incomplete access instructions, restricted parking, or the absence of a responsible adult may result in waiting charges, shortened service time, or cancellation charges. Where our team arrives and cannot safely begin work, we may treat the appointment as cancelled by you.
Although we will use reasonable efforts to attend at the scheduled time, appointment times are estimates and may occasionally change due to traffic, weather, extended previous jobs, staff illness, equipment issues, or circumstances beyond our control. We will aim to notify you of material delays as soon as reasonably practicable. A delay does not automatically entitle you to compensation, provided we are still able to perform the carpet cleaning service within a reasonable time.
2. Prices and payments
All prices will be stated in pounds sterling unless otherwise agreed. Any quotation may be based on the size of the area, condition of the carpet, level of soiling, treatment required, and the number of items included. Unless expressly stated, quotations are estimates only and may be revised if the scope of work changes after inspection. Additional charges may apply for heavily soiled areas, specialist stain removal, parking fees, out-of-hours work, or extra time required to complete the service properly.
Payment terms will be specified at the time of booking or in the job confirmation. We may require payment on completion, immediately after service, or in advance depending on the nature of the appointment. We accept payment by the methods we notify to you from time to time. If a payment is declined, reversed, or not received when due, we may suspend the service, withhold any final report or invoice, and recover reasonable costs associated with chasing the debt.
Unless otherwise stated, all invoices must be paid in full without set-off, deduction, or withholding. If you are booking on behalf of a business or landlord, you confirm that you are authorised to incur the charge. Where a commercial customer has an agreed credit arrangement, payment remains due on the date stated on the invoice. Late payments may attract interest and reasonable recovery costs to the extent permitted by UK law.
3. Cancellations, rescheduling, and access issues
You may cancel or reschedule a carpet cleaning booking by giving us reasonable notice. The exact cancellation period may vary depending on the type of service and the appointment time, but we ask that you notify us as early as possible so the slot can be reallocated. If you cancel at short notice, we may charge a cancellation fee to cover reserved time, travel, and planning costs, particularly where the appointment was arranged for a specific date.
If you fail to provide access, are not present when required, or do not make the property available at the agreed time, this may be treated as a late cancellation or failed appointment. In such cases, we may charge the full or partial service fee, especially where staff and equipment have already been committed to your job. We may also charge for parking, waiting, or return visits if these are required because of circumstances within your control.
We reserve the right to reschedule or cancel an appointment if conditions are unsafe, if the carpet cleaning work cannot be performed effectively, or if the property contains hazards such as exposed wiring, aggressive animals, unstable flooring, or obstructed work areas. If we cancel for reasons within our control, we will offer a new appointment or refund any prepaid amount for the affected portion of the service.
4. Service standards and customer obligations
You must ensure that the area to be cleaned is reasonably prepared before we arrive. This includes removing fragile items, valuables, breakables, and any movable furniture or obstacles unless we have agreed to assist with this as part of the service. We are not responsible for damage caused by items left in the work area where reasonable care would suggest they should have been moved or protected in advance.
We will use professional methods and reasonable skill and care when carrying out carpet and upholstery cleaning. However, results may vary depending on fibre content, pre-existing wear, previous treatments, hidden stains, colour fastness, and the age of the carpet. Some stains, odours, or marks may not be fully removable. The customer acknowledges that cleaning is not the same as restoration, and that complete removal of every mark cannot be guaranteed.
Where applicable, you must disclose any known issues before work begins, including colour bleeding, shrinkage risk, moth damage, underlay problems, dampness, or previous cleaning attempts. If you ask us to proceed after being warned of a risk, you accept that the cleaning may not produce the desired result and that some level of change or loss may occur. We may refuse to clean an item if, in our reasonable opinion, the risk of damage is too high.
5. Liability and limitations
We will not exclude or limit liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation. Subject to that, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, or any loss not reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract was made. This applies whether the claim is in contract, tort, or otherwise.
Our total liability for any claim arising from a carpet cleaning service will be limited to the amount paid or payable for the specific service giving rise to the claim, except where a higher limit is required by law. We are not responsible for pre-existing damage, hidden defects, or deterioration that becomes apparent during cleaning. Natural changes in pile direction, shading, water marks, or minor texture changes after drying do not automatically amount to a fault.
Any complaint should be raised as soon as reasonably possible after the service has been completed and, in any event, within a reasonable time. You must allow us a fair opportunity to inspect the issue and, where appropriate, return to remedy a genuine service defect. If a problem is caused by incorrect information, pre-existing conditions, or instructions given by you, we may decline to offer a remedy or may charge for any additional work required.
6. Waste regulations and environmental handling
We aim to comply with applicable UK waste regulations and environmental duties when carrying out carpet cleaning work. Waste water, used materials, packaging, and any removed debris will be handled in a responsible manner. Where disposal or transport of waste is necessary, we will do so in accordance with relevant legal and local authority requirements, using lawful methods and approved channels where appropriate.
You acknowledge that certain cleaning tasks may generate waste water, extracted soil, used cloths, contaminated packaging, or other residues. Unless we have agreed otherwise, any unusual waste present at the property remains your responsibility. If the premises contain hazardous materials, sharp objects, biological contamination, or restricted waste, you must tell us in advance. We may refuse to handle items or materials that require specialist disposal beyond the scope of a standard carpet cleaning service.
If, during the service, we identify waste or contamination that appears to be regulated, hazardous, or unsafe, we may stop work until the issue is resolved. In such cases, any extra time, specialist handling, protective equipment, or external disposal costs may be chargeable. You agree not to ask us to dispose of prohibited waste in a manner that would breach environmental law, waste duty of care obligations, or health and safety rules.
7. Complaints and remedies
If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of the carpet cleaning service, you should contact us promptly and provide a clear description of the issue. We may request photographs, a written summary, or access to the cleaned area so we can assess the concern properly. Where the complaint is valid and within our responsibility, we may offer a re-clean, an adjustment, or another reasonable remedy at our discretion, subject to legal requirements.
We do not guarantee that all complaints will result in a refund. Any refund, partial refund, or service credit will depend on the circumstances, including whether the issue was caused by our error, a pre-existing condition, or information supplied by you. Nothing in these terms affects your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or other applicable UK consumer legislation where these rights apply.
If you remain unhappy after we have reviewed the matter, both parties should attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith before commencing formal proceedings. This may include a further inspection, additional photographs, or a discussion of proportionate settlement options. We encourage practical resolution wherever possible, especially where the issue concerns a specific stain, drying pattern, or carpet condition that may have been present before treatment.
8. Governing law and general provisions
These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising from them, are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you are based in Scotland or Northern Ireland, mandatory consumer protections in your jurisdiction may still apply where relevant. Any court proceedings brought under or in connection with these terms shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, without affecting any mandatory legal rights you may have as a consumer.
If any part of these terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. A failure by us to enforce any provision immediately does not mean we waive our right to enforce it later. We may update these terms from time to time, and the version in force at the time of your booking will apply to that service unless a change in law requires otherwise.
By proceeding with a booking for carpet cleaning, rug cleaning, or any related service under the Carpetcleaning W13 name, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms. They are intended to support a professional, lawful, and fair service relationship for all customers receiving cleaning work in the UK.
