Terms and Conditions for Carpet Cleaning SW18

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Carpetcleaning SW18 provides carpet cleaning services to domestic and commercial customers in the United Kingdom. By making a booking, confirming an appointment, or allowing our team to carry out work, you agree to be bound by these terms. Please read them carefully before placing an order for any carpet cleaning service, upholstery treatment, stain removal, or related cleaning task.

For the purposes of these terms, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean Carpetcleaning SW18, and references to “you” or “the customer” mean the person, business, landlord, tenant, agent, or other party requesting the service. These terms apply to all carpet cleaning appointments unless we agree otherwise in writing. If any part of these terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force.

We reserve the right to amend these terms from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or administrative changes. The version in force at the time of your booking will normally apply to your service, unless a later change is required by law. Using our services after an update will indicate acceptance of the revised wording. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer under UK law.

Booking Process

All bookings are subject to availability and are accepted at our discretion. A booking request may be made through agreed channels, and it becomes confirmed only when we have acknowledged it and, where required, received any deposit or prepayment. At the point of booking, you must provide accurate details about the premises, the type and number of carpets, the condition of the items, access arrangements, parking restrictions, and any relevant health or safety concerns.

We rely on the information you provide when allocating time, equipment, and staff. If the property contains heavily soiled areas, specialist fibres, sensitive flooring, pet contamination, mould, or other conditions requiring additional treatment, you must notify us before the appointment. Failure to disclose such matters may affect pricing, service duration, and the suitability of the chosen cleaning method. In some cases, we may need to revise the booking or decline the work if the conditions are unsuitable.

The booking confirmation may include the agreed service type, estimated price, date, arrival window, and any special instructions. If you request extra services on the day, these will be subject to further quotation and your approval before work continues. Carpetcleaning SW18 may refuse to begin or continue a service where access is unsafe, the premises are not ready, or the customer does not have authority to approve the work.

Payments and Pricing

All prices are quoted in pounds sterling and, unless stated otherwise, are based on the information supplied at booking. Any estimate provided before inspection is an indication only and may change if the actual condition, size, access, or level of soiling differs from the description given. We will always aim to explain any change before proceeding with additional work. Prices may include labour, standard equipment, and ordinary cleaning products, but not necessarily specialist stain treatments or exceptional waste handling.

Payment is due in accordance with the method and timing agreed at booking. Depending on the arrangement, this may mean payment is required on completion, in advance, or by a deposit followed by a balance payment. We accept payment only by the methods we have approved. If a card payment, bank transfer, or other electronic payment is reversed, declined, or disputed after work has been completed, you remain responsible for the outstanding amount and any reasonable recovery costs permitted by law.

If you delay payment, we may charge interest and reasonable administrative costs on overdue sums, to the extent permitted by the Late Payment of Commercial Debts legislation or other applicable UK law. For business customers, we may also pursue statutory compensation where available. Carpet cleaning SW18 may suspend further work, withhold optional documentation, or refuse future services until all outstanding balances are settled in full.

Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Missed Appointments

You may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving us reasonable notice. The amount of notice required may vary depending on the size of the job, the staffing reserved, and whether materials or third-party arrangements have already been committed. If you cancel at short notice, fail to provide access, or are not present when attendance is required, we may charge a cancellation fee or retain part of any deposit to cover lost time and administrative costs.

Where we need to cancel or rearrange an appointment, we will try to give you as much notice as reasonably possible and offer an alternative date. However, we will not be liable for delay or cancellation caused by events outside our control, including severe weather, traffic disruption, equipment failure, illness, or the actions of third parties. If we are unable to perform the service due to an event beyond our reasonable control, our obligations will be suspended for the duration of that event.

Unless required otherwise by law, deposits may be non-refundable where cancellation occurs after resources have been allocated or where the service has been specifically reserved for you. For consumer bookings made at a distance, any statutory cancellation rights may still apply, subject to the rules governing services and any request that work begin during the cancellation period. If you ask us to start within that period, you may lose the right to cancel once the service has been fully performed.

Customer Responsibilities

You must ensure that the property is reasonably ready for cleaning at the agreed time. This includes removing fragile items, valuables, small furniture, and personal belongings from the working area unless we have expressly agreed to move them. You are also responsible for ensuring that the carpets are suitable for cleaning and that any pets are secured safely away from the work area. We may refuse to move heavy or awkward items that could risk injury or damage.

You must tell us about any pre-existing damage, loose seams, colour loss, worn backing, dye instability, shrinkage risk, previous treatments, or prior water exposure before the work begins. Some older or delicate carpets may react unpredictably to moisture, heat, or cleaning agents. Where such risks exist, we may proceed only at your request and at your own risk, or we may decline to treat the relevant area if it is not reasonably safe to do so.

If you are a tenant, letting agent, landlord, or managing agent, you must have the necessary authority to arrange the service. If the person who booked the work does not own the premises, it is your responsibility to ensure that permission has been obtained from the owner or other relevant party. We are not responsible for disputes between occupiers, landlords, agents, or owners regarding authority to book or pay for the service.

Performance of the Service

We will use reasonable skill and care in performing the service and will select methods appropriate to the type and condition of the carpet, subject to the information available to us. Cleaning results may vary depending on fibre type, age, wear, previous cleaning history, staining, and environmental conditions. We do not guarantee complete removal of all marks, odours, or contamination, especially where stains are permanent, ingrained, or chemically set.

Where drying times are mentioned, they are estimates only. Ventilation, humidity, carpet pile, underlay condition, and temperature can all affect how long a carpet takes to dry. You should avoid walking on damp carpets where possible and follow any aftercare advice we provide. We are not responsible for any reduction in cleaning effect or for re-soiling caused by use of the carpet before it has adequately dried.

If, during the course of our work, we discover that the service requested would likely cause unreasonable risk of damage, we may stop the work, recommend an alternative method, or ask for your written confirmation to continue. Carpetcleaning SW18 may also need to exclude certain areas from treatment if access is restricted, if water supply is inadequate, or if the condition of the carpet makes cleaning unsafe.

Liability and Limitations

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited under UK law. Subject to that, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, or losses arising from your own failure to comply with these terms or with our instructions.

We will take reasonable care of your property while on site, but you remain responsible for securing valuables, electronics, documents, ornaments, and fragile items. We are not liable for pre-existing defects, hidden damage, weak carpet backing, pre-existing staining, or damage caused by ordinary wear and tear. Any claim for loss or damage must be reported to us as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within a reasonable time after completion.

Where liability is established, our maximum liability for any single claim or series of related claims arising out of one booking shall, to the extent permitted by law, be limited to the amount paid or payable for the relevant service, unless a different amount is required by statute. This limit does not apply where we are prohibited by law from limiting liability. Nothing in this section affects your consumer rights regarding services that are not provided with reasonable care and skill.

Waste Regulations and Environmental Compliance

We operate in line with applicable UK waste handling and environmental rules. Any waste generated as a direct result of our service, such as minor removed debris, used cleaning materials, or residue collected during the process, will be managed responsibly and disposed of in accordance with relevant requirements. We will not unlawfully dump, burn, or abandon waste, and we expect the customer to make suitable arrangements for any large-scale waste beyond ordinary cleaning by-products.

If a carpet or related item must be removed from the premises because it is beyond cleaning or has been agreed for disposal, ownership and disposal responsibilities will be addressed separately in writing where needed. We do not automatically accept responsibility for disposing of bulky items, contaminated materials, or items requiring specialist handling unless this has been expressly agreed in advance. Additional charges may apply where transport, segregation, or compliant disposal is required.

You must inform us if the premises contain hazardous substances, biological contamination, sharps, asbestos risk, or any other material regulated by health, safety, or waste legislation. We may suspend work where there is a risk to health or where lawful disposal cannot be ensured. Carpet cleaning SW18 will comply with applicable duty of care principles and expects customers to cooperate with lawful waste management arrangements.

Force Majeure, Complaints, and General Terms

We shall not be liable for failure or delay in performing our obligations where such failure or delay results from events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to fire, flood, storm, pandemic-related restrictions, transport disruption, industrial action, shortages of materials, or power failure. In such circumstances, we may postpone, modify, or cancel the service without liability other than, where appropriate, a refund of sums paid for undelivered work.

If you have a concern about the service, you should notify us promptly so that we have a reasonable opportunity to inspect, explain, or remedy the issue where appropriate. Any complaint should include sufficient detail to allow us to understand the nature of the concern and the area affected. We may request photos, access for inspection, or other relevant information before determining the proper response. This does not affect your legal rights where the service has not been performed with reasonable care and skill.

If any provision of these terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be read down where possible to make it enforceable, and if that is not possible it shall be severed without affecting the remaining terms. No failure or delay by us in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of that right. A person who is not a party to these terms shall have no right to enforce them under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere in the United Kingdom, any mandatory local consumer protections that apply to you will still be respected where required by law.

The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from these terms, except where applicable law grants a consumer the right to bring proceedings in another UK jurisdiction. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or protective relief where necessary. By using Carpetcleaning SW18, you acknowledge that these terms form the basis of our service relationship.
