Terms and Conditions for Carpet Cleaners SW7
These Terms and Conditions apply to the provision of domestic and commercial carpet cleaning services by Carpet Cleaners SW7 (“we”, “us”, “our”) to the customer (“you”, “your”). By making a booking, confirming an appointment, or allowing our operatives to begin work, you agree to these terms. These conditions are intended to set out the standards, responsibilities, and limits that apply to our carpet cleaning service, including how bookings are made, how payments are handled, and what happens if a service is cancelled or interrupted.
1. Scope of Service
We provide professional carpet cleaning and related soft-floor cleaning services, which may include stain treatment, deodorising, sanitising, pre-inspection, and post-cleaning advice where relevant. The exact service package will depend on the booking confirmation, the type of carpet, the condition of the fibres, the equipment required, and any special requests agreed in advance. Unless specifically included in the written booking confirmation, additional services are not part of the agreed price.
We aim to deliver a consistent and careful carpet cleaner SW7 service, but results can vary depending on carpet age, wear, fibre type, prior treatment, hidden stains, or manufacturer restrictions. Some marks, odours, or residues may not be fully removable. We do not guarantee the complete removal of stains that have permanently set, been previously treated with unsuitable products, or are caused by factors outside our control.
2. Booking Process
Bookings may be made after we provide an estimate or quotation based on the information you supply. You are responsible for providing accurate details, including the number and type of rooms, approximate carpet condition, access requirements, parking restrictions, pet considerations, and any existing damage. We may revise the quotation if the actual service conditions differ from the information originally provided.
Once a booking is requested, we may confirm the appointment by message, email, or any other agreed method. A booking is only binding once we have accepted it and, where applicable, received any required deposit. We reserve the right to refuse or reschedule a booking where safe access, sufficient working conditions, or suitable equipment cannot reasonably be arranged. If an operatives’ attendance is delayed due to traffic, weather, or unforeseen circumstances, we will make reasonable efforts to inform you and attend within a revised timeframe.
3. Customer Responsibilities
You must ensure that the work area is reasonably accessible and safe. This includes moving fragile items, securing pets, removing valuables, and providing access to water, electricity, and parking where needed. If heavy furniture must be moved, this should be agreed in advance. We may decline to move items that are unsafe, unusually heavy, poorly assembled, or at risk of damage. You should also advise us of any carpet defects, loose seams, weak flooring, mould, contamination, or other hazards before work begins.
4. Payments
Our pricing may be based on room size, carpet area, treatment type, accessibility, and condition. We may charge a minimum fee or additional amounts for specialist stain removal, pet odour treatment, emergency attendance, or work outside standard hours if these have been agreed in advance. Unless stated otherwise, all prices are in pounds sterling and may include VAT where applicable.
Payment is due immediately upon completion of the service, unless we have agreed a different arrangement in writing before the appointment. We may accept card payment, bank transfer, or another method confirmed at booking. If a deposit is required, it secures the appointment and may be non-refundable where cancellation rules apply. Failure to pay on time may result in late payment action, suspension of future bookings, and recovery of any reasonable costs incurred to obtain payment.
Any estimate provided before inspection is based on the information available at the time and is not a fixed price unless we expressly state otherwise. If the scope of work increases due to additional rooms, heavier soiling, or customer-requested extras, the final price may be adjusted accordingly. We will explain any such change before carrying out the additional work where reasonably possible.
5. Cancellations and Rescheduling
You may cancel or reschedule a booking, but notice must be given as early as possible. If you cancel with sufficient notice, we may offer a full or partial refund of any deposit at our discretion or as stated in the booking confirmation. If cancellation occurs at short notice, especially after we have allocated staff, equipment, and travel time, we may retain some or all of the deposit to cover our administrative and loss-of-slot costs.
Where cancellation is made less than 24 hours before the agreed start time, or where we are unable to complete the job because access is denied, the premises are unsuitable, or no authorised person is present, we may charge a cancellation fee or a call-out fee. If we need to cancel or postpone due to illness, equipment failure, weather, safety concerns, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control, we will seek to offer a new appointment date.
6. Delays, Re-entry, and Drying Time
Carpet cleaning can require drying time that varies according to ventilation, carpet type, pile depth, humidity, and treatment used. You should allow adequate time before walking heavily on the carpet or replacing furniture. We are not responsible for marks, dents, or re-soiling caused by premature use, poor ventilation, or moving furniture back too soon. If access is needed after the work is completed, you should arrange this before the appointment ends.
7. Liability
We will carry out our services with reasonable skill and care. However, our liability is limited to loss or damage directly caused by our proven negligence, breach of contract, or failure to use reasonable care and skill. We are not liable for pre-existing damage, hidden defects, wear and tear, carpet shrinkage caused by manufacturing issues, discoloration from prior treatments, or damage resulting from items not removed or disclosed by you before cleaning begins.
If damage is alleged, you must notify us as soon as reasonably possible and in any event before the item is moved, used extensively, or repaired by a third party, so that we may inspect the issue. Where we are found liable, our responsibility may be limited to the reasonable cost of repair or replacement, subject to depreciation, the age and condition of the carpet, and the original value of the affected area. We shall not be responsible for indirect, consequential, or economic losses such as loss of business, loss of rent, or inconvenience, except where such limitation is prohibited by law.
8. Waste and Environmental Regulations
We operate in accordance with applicable UK waste handling and environmental requirements. Wastewater, removed debris, packaging, and contaminated materials will be managed in a responsible manner. Where waste must be disposed of, both parties agree that disposal will be carried out in compliance with relevant regulations and only through lawful methods. You must tell us about hazardous substances, sharps, bodily fluids, asbestos risk, or other controlled contamination before the appointment.
We do not accept responsibility for cleaning or disposing of hazardous waste that has not been disclosed in advance or that falls outside the agreed service scope. If we identify contamination that presents a health, safety, or regulatory risk, we may stop work immediately and recommend appropriate specialist handling. Any extra costs arising from lawful disposal, specialist PPE, or additional safety measures may be charged to you if they result from conditions not disclosed at booking.
9. Access, Parking, and Site Conditions
You are responsible for arranging lawful access to the property and, where relevant, for ensuring parking or unloading arrangements are available. If parking charges, congestion charges, permits, or penalties are unavoidable because of site restrictions, you may be required to reimburse these costs where they were disclosed or reasonably necessary for service delivery. We may refuse to proceed if the property is unsafe, excessively contaminated, or unsuitable for the equipment required.
10. Complaints and Corrections
If you are dissatisfied with the service, you should notify us promptly and provide a reasonable opportunity to inspect the issue. Where appropriate, we may offer a re-clean or corrective visit if the concern relates to a part of the service we can reasonably improve. A re-clean is not available for stains or damage outside our control, nor where the carpet was used, dried improperly, or altered after the service. Our decision on whether corrective work is suitable will be based on the facts of the case and the condition of the carpet at the time of inspection.
11. Force Majeure
We shall not be responsible for delays or failure to perform our obligations where prevented by events beyond our reasonable control. This includes severe weather, floods, transport disruption, power failure, strikes, illness, government restrictions, supply shortages, or other unforeseen events. In such cases, we may suspend, rearrange, or cancel the appointment without liability for indirect losses. We will make reasonable efforts to resume the service as soon as practicable.
12. Customer Information and Representations
By booking, you confirm that any information provided to us is accurate to the best of your knowledge. This includes the carpet type, level of soiling, previous treatments, existing damage, and any special requirements. If information is incomplete or inaccurate, the service may take longer, cost more, or produce different results from those expected. We rely on your statements when planning the job and pricing the service.
13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from or relating to our carpet cleaning in SW7 services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. If any clause is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining clauses will continue in full force and effect.
14. General Provisions
No waiver of any term shall be effective unless made in writing. Any variation to these terms must also be agreed in writing. If there is any inconsistency between these Terms and Conditions and a written service confirmation, the written confirmation will prevail only to the extent of the inconsistency. These terms form the entire agreement between you and us in relation to the service, unless amended by mutual written consent.
We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in our operations, pricing structure, legal obligations, or service standards. The version in force at the time of your booking will apply to that appointment unless otherwise agreed in writing. Please ensure you review the terms relevant to your booking before confirming the service.
15. Acceptance of Terms
By proceeding with a booking for our professional carpet cleaner SW7 service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not accept them, you should not confirm the booking or permit work to begin. These terms are designed to protect both parties and to ensure that carpet cleaning services are provided fairly, safely, and transparently.
