Terms and Conditions for Carpet Cleaning Services

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which carpet cleaning services are provided by the company to customers in the UK. By making a booking, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms. They are designed to clarify expectations before any work begins, including the service scope, payment arrangements, cancellation rules, liability limits, and environmental obligations. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

The following wording applies to all standard and specialist cleaning appointments, including domestic and commercial bookings. References to we, us, or our mean the service provider, and references to you or your mean the customer placing the order. These terms should be read carefully before confirmation is made. If any part of the arrangement changes after booking, the updated terms will apply only where agreed in writing or otherwise confirmed by us.

We aim to provide a professional carpet cleaning service with clear communication and fair charges. However, because carpets and fabrics differ in condition, fibre type, age, and prior treatment, no guarantee is made that every stain will be fully removed. Results may vary depending on soil level, pre-existing damage, fading, wear, and the cleaning method selected. The customer acknowledges that service outcomes are influenced by factors outside our control.

1. Booking Process

A booking is formed when a customer provides the required details and we accept the appointment. Booking requests may be made through any available ordering channel, and all requests are subject to availability. We may ask for information about the property, carpet type, access conditions, parking restrictions, pets, water supply, or previous cleaning history so that we can assess suitability and prepare appropriately.

Before confirming a booking, we may provide an estimate or quotation. Any quotation is based on the information supplied at the time and may change if the actual circumstances differ from the description provided. If additional work is needed on arrival, we will explain the likely extra cost before proceeding, where reasonably possible. If you do not agree to the revised scope, we may complete only the original booked work or decline to continue if it is unsafe or impractical to do so.

By confirming a booking, you warrant that you are authorised to permit access to the premises and to instruct the work. You also confirm that the area to be cleaned is reasonably accessible, reasonably safe, and free from hazards that could affect the delivery of the service. If the property is not ready at the agreed time, or if access cannot be gained, a wasted visit fee may apply.

2. Service Standards and Customer Responsibilities

The customer must move fragile items, valuables, and small personal belongings before the appointment unless otherwise agreed. We are not responsible for lifting or moving heavy furniture unless this has been explicitly included in the booking and can be done safely. If items remain in the area, we may clean around them or decline to move them where there is risk of damage.

We will use reasonable skill and care when performing the cleaning service. This includes selecting appropriate methods and products for the type of carpet or upholstery identified. The customer should disclose any known issues such as loose seams, colour instability, shrinkage risk, moth damage, previous restoration work, chemical sensitivity, or underfloor heating. Failure to provide accurate information may affect the outcome and may limit any remedy.

All services are provided subject to reasonable access to electricity, water, and ventilation where needed. You agree to allow sufficient drying time after treatment and to follow any aftercare instructions given at the end of the appointment. If the customer requests premature use of the carpet, we will not be liable for marks, tracking, slow drying, or re-soiling caused by early foot traffic.

3. Payments

Unless agreed otherwise, payment is due immediately upon completion of the service. We may accept cash, bank transfer, card payment, or another authorised method depending on the arrangement made at booking. Any deposit or prepayment requested at the time of booking forms part of the total price unless stated to be non-refundable in a specific offer or promotion.

Prices are usually quoted inclusive of labour and standard cleaning materials, but special treatments, stain protection, deodorising, heavy stain work, or additional rooms may be charged separately. Any such additions will be explained before they are undertaken. If the work exceeds the originally agreed scope because of factors discovered on site, the revised amount becomes payable when the service ends, unless we agree another payment arrangement in writing.

If payment is not received when due, we may suspend further services, withhold any non-essential follow-up work, or charge reasonable recovery costs permitted by law. We reserve the right to correct obvious pricing errors and to cancel a booking where a manifest mistake has been made in the quotation, provided we notify you as soon as reasonably possible.

4. Cancellations, Rearrangements, and No-Access Charges

Customers may cancel or rearrange a booking by giving reasonable notice. Where sufficient notice is provided, we will usually offer a new appointment date without penalty, subject to availability. If cancellation occurs too close to the appointment time, or if a technician has already been dispatched, a cancellation fee may apply to cover lost time and costs.

If you fail to provide access, if nobody is present to authorise entry, or if the premises are unsuitable for the planned work, the booking may be treated as a late cancellation or wasted visit. In such cases, we may charge a reasonable fee. Repeated cancellations, misuse of the booking system, or abusive conduct may result in refusal of future appointments.

We may also cancel or reschedule where circumstances beyond our control make attendance impossible or unsafe, including severe weather, transport disruption, equipment failure, or illness. In those cases, we will seek to offer an alternative date. We will not be liable for indirect losses arising solely from a rescheduled appointment, provided we act fairly and in good faith.

5. Liability and Limitations

We accept liability for direct loss or damage only where it is caused by our negligence, breach of contract, or unlawful act. If damage occurs while we are working, you must notify us as soon as reasonably possible and allow us the opportunity to inspect the issue. We may choose to repair, clean again, pay a reasonable reduction, or otherwise resolve the matter in a proportionate way.

Our responsibility does not extend to pre-existing damage, hidden defects, wear and tear, weak seams, colour loss, shrinkage, water migration from earlier incidents, or deterioration caused by the condition of the carpet itself. Natural fibre materials and older textiles may react unpredictably to cleaning solutions or moisture. We are not liable for unavoidable outcomes that occur despite the use of reasonable care and suitable industry practice.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for loss of profit, business interruption, loss of opportunity, indirect loss, or consequential damage. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under UK law. Any claim should be supported by reasonable evidence and raised promptly.

6. Stain Removal, Results, and Aftercare

We will use appropriate techniques for general soil removal and for many common stains, but stain removal is not guaranteed. Some substances permanently alter carpet fibres or dyes, while others may have been treated previously with unsuitable products. Even after a successful clean, certain marks may remain visible under different light or after drying. The customer accepts that the service aims to improve appearance and hygiene, not to promise a factory-new result.

Where stain protection or deodorising is offered, it should be understood as an optional treatment with its own limitations. Such treatments may reduce future staining or odour absorption, but they do not make the carpet indestructible or maintenance-free. We may decline to apply a treatment if we believe the substrate is unsuitable, the material is too fragile, or the condition of the carpet makes the treatment ineffective or risky.

After cleaning, you should avoid placing furniture back immediately unless advised otherwise, and you should take care not to walk on damp areas unnecessarily. Any protective pads, airflow, or drying suggestions we provide are recommendations only. If you choose not to follow them, any resulting marks, pile distortion, or delayed drying will be your responsibility unless caused by our negligence.

7. Waste Regulations, Disposal, and Environmental Duties

We are committed to handling waste in accordance with applicable UK waste regulations and environmental obligations. Waste generated during the service, such as used cloths, packaging, residues, and contaminated disposable materials, will be managed responsibly. We will not leave hazardous waste on site unless it is part of a lawful arrangement agreed in advance. Customers must not ask us to dispose of restricted waste outside lawful channels.

If the service involves removal of waste water, contaminated materials, or items that require special handling, we will determine the most appropriate disposal method in line with relevant regulations and safe working practices. The customer is responsible for advising us of any known hazardous substances, biological contamination, sharps, or other risks present in the cleaning area. We may refuse to proceed where the waste or contamination could breach safety or legal requirements.

Where packaging, containers, or cleaning residues are left behind, the customer should dispose of them in accordance with local rules and general environmental obligations. We aim to use products and processes that are suitable for the service and to minimise unnecessary waste. However, we do not accept responsibility for third-party disposal decisions once any material has been properly handed over or left in the customer’s possession.

8. Complaints and Remedies

If you are dissatisfied with the service, you should notify us within a reasonable time after completion, providing a clear description of the issue and, where possible, evidence. We may ask to revisit the property or review photographs before deciding on any remedy. The appropriate remedy will depend on the circumstances and may include a correction, partial refund, or other fair resolution.

Complaints will be handled in a proportionate and courteous manner. We will not be obliged to provide a remedy where the issue arises from inaccurate information supplied by the customer, normal wear and tear, unsuitable conditions, or failure to follow aftercare instructions. Any resolution offered will be without admission of liability unless we specifically state otherwise in writing.

Nothing in this section affects your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or any other applicable consumer protection law. Where a statutory remedy applies, it will take priority over any inconsistent wording in these terms.

9. Insurance, Property Care, and Access

We maintain insurance cover that is appropriate for the nature of our work, but insurance does not change the allocation of risk set out in these terms. The customer should ensure that the property is adequately insured for normal domestic or commercial risks, including risks associated with cleaning and drying. We are not responsible for losses arising from inadequate third-party insurance arrangements.

Where we need access to rooms, communal areas, loading bays, parking, lifts, or water and power sources, the customer must make reasonable arrangements in advance. Delays caused by restricted access, security requirements, or parking problems may affect timing and may lead to additional charges if significant extra time is required. Any special site rules should be explained before the appointment starts.

We may take reasonable steps to protect adjacent surfaces, but the customer remains responsible for delicate décor, loose fittings, ornaments, and items that could be affected by normal cleaning activity. If an area is extremely fragile or unsuitable for machine cleaning, we may decline to clean it or recommend an alternative method where available.

10. Governing Law and General Provisions

These terms and any dispute or claim arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer law gives you the right to bring a claim elsewhere. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply in full.

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal obligations, or operational requirements. The version in force at the time of booking will apply to that booking unless a later version is expressly agreed by both parties. No variation is effective unless confirmed by us in writing or through an approved booking record.

These terms form the entire agreement between the customer and the service provider for the relevant booking, together with any written quotation, invoice, or confirmed addendum. A failure to enforce any right on one occasion does not waive that right for the future. By proceeding with a booking, the customer confirms they have read, understood, and accepted these service terms.
