Terms and Conditions for Carpetcleaning W6
These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Carpetcleaning W6 provides domestic and commercial cleaning services in the UK. By making a booking, confirming an appointment, or allowing our operatives to begin work, you agree to these terms. Please read them carefully before arranging any service. They are designed to make the process clear, fair, and consistent for both parties, while reflecting common UK consumer and service standards.
Throughout these terms, references to we, us, and our mean the carpet cleaning service provider. References to you and your mean the customer, client, tenant, landlord, agent, or business representative booking the service. These terms apply to carpet cleaning, rug cleaning, upholstery cleaning, stain treatment, deodorising, and related cleaning tasks where included in the scope of work.
The details below apply to all carpet cleaning appointments arranged through Carpetcleaning W6, whether the service is booked for a private home, managed property, office, or other premises. In some cases, separate written terms may apply to special jobs, delicate materials, or larger contracts. If any specific written agreement conflicts with these terms, the specific agreement will take priority for that booking only.
1. Booking Process
A booking is only confirmed when we have accepted the request and, where required, received any deposit or pre-authorisation agreed at the time of booking. Customers must provide accurate information, including the property address, access arrangements, parking restrictions, number and type of rooms or items to be cleaned, and any known issues such as heavy staining, pet damage, or fragile fibres. Accurate information helps us allocate the right equipment, time, and cleaning method.
We may offer an estimated time of arrival, and in some cases a time window rather than a fixed appointment time. This is because travel, traffic, previous job duration, and site conditions can affect scheduling. While we make reasonable efforts to attend on time, any arrival estimates are not guaranteed unless expressly stated in writing. If access is not available when we arrive, the appointment may be treated as a late cancellation or failed visit.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that the area to be cleaned is reasonably prepared before the appointment. This may include moving light items, securing pets, and ensuring access to electricity and water where required. We may move small lightweight items at our discretion, but we are not obliged to move heavy furniture, fragile possessions, or fixtures that could be damaged by relocation. If pre-clean preparation is not completed, the service may need to be adjusted, delayed, or rescheduled.
2. Service Scope and Customer Obligations
Our carpet cleaning services are based on the condition of the items and the information supplied by you. Stains, odours, wear, fading, pile distortion, and previous poor cleaning results may affect the final outcome. While we use professional methods intended to improve appearance and hygiene, we do not guarantee complete stain removal, restoration of original colour, or elimination of damage caused by age, poor maintenance, or unsuitable prior treatment.
You must tell us before work starts about any existing damage, loose seams, colour loss, rot, weak fibres, special finishes, or manufacturer restrictions. This is particularly important where rugs or carpets may react poorly to moisture, agitation, heat, or detergents. If we believe a material is unsuitable for a chosen method, we may refuse to proceed with that method and suggest an alternative where possible. Failure to disclose relevant information may limit our responsibility if damage occurs.
We may refuse to clean items that are excessively soiled, contaminated, infested, unsafe to handle, or likely to present a health and safety risk. We may also decline work where access is unsafe, where water or power supplies are inadequate, or where the premises contain hazards that were not disclosed in advance. In such cases, any cancellation, failed visit, or wasted travel time may be chargeable in line with these terms.
3. Payments, Deposits, and Charges
Prices may be provided as fixed fees, minimum charges, room-based rates, item-based rates, or estimates, depending on the service requested. Any quote is based on the information supplied at the time and may change if the actual scope of work differs from the description given. Additional charges may apply for extra rooms, heavy soiling, specialist treatment, parking fees, congestion-related costs, out-of-hours work, or services requested on site beyond the original booking.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due on completion of the service and must be made immediately by the method accepted at the time of booking. We may require a deposit for certain appointments, including larger jobs, commercial work, or bookings made at short notice. Deposits are normally applied against the final invoice and may be non-refundable where a late cancellation occurs or where costs have already been incurred.
Where an invoice is issued after completion, payment must be made by the due date shown on the invoice. Late payment may result in a charge for reasonable recovery costs, interest where permitted by law, and suspension of any further services. If a payment fails or is reversed after completion, you remain liable for the full amount due together with any bank charges or administration costs reasonably incurred by us.
4. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Missed Appointments
You may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving reasonable notice. The amount of notice required may vary depending on the size of the job and the resources reserved for the appointment, but in general we ask for at least 24 hours’ notice where possible. If you cancel too late, we may charge a cancellation fee to reflect reserved labour, travel, and lost scheduling opportunity.
If we arrive and cannot gain access, or if the premises are not ready for cleaning, the booking may be treated as a missed appointment. In such cases, the full call-out, minimum charge, or agreed deposit may be retained or invoiced. If we need to leave because of unsafe conditions, incomplete disclosure, or lack of facilities essential to the service, this may also be treated as a failed visit.
We reserve the right to reschedule an appointment where operational circumstances make attendance impossible at the original time. This may include vehicle breakdown, staff illness, severe weather, road closures, or other events outside our control. We will use reasonable efforts to arrange an alternative time. Except where required by law, we are not responsible for indirect losses arising from a change of appointment date or time.
5. Liability, Damage, and Limitations
We take reasonable care when carrying out all carpet cleaning work. However, cleaning is a physical process and certain risks cannot be eliminated. Natural wear, pre-existing weakness, hidden defects, colour instability, dye bleed, shrinkage, pile distortion, water marking, or adverse reactions to cleaning agents may occur even where all reasonable care is used. This is especially relevant to delicate, antique, untreated, or non-standard materials.
Our liability for loss or damage caused by our negligence, breach of contract, or failure to use reasonable care is limited to the cost of repair or replacement of the affected item, subject to proof and subject always to the extent permitted by UK law. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of opportunity, business interruption, or damage arising from inaccurate information supplied by you.
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law. Customers are expected to take reasonable steps to protect valuables, fragile belongings, and adjacent items before cleaning begins. We accept no responsibility for items left in unsafe positions or for damage caused by failure to secure loose belongings.
6. Waste, Disposal, and Environmental Compliance
In providing carpet and upholstery cleaning services, we may generate wastewater, packaging, disposable cloths, and other cleaning-related waste. We will handle such waste in a responsible manner and in accordance with applicable UK waste regulations, environmental rules, and health and safety requirements. We will not knowingly dispose of waste in a way that breaches legal duties or causes environmental harm.
Where waste must be removed from the property, it will be managed in line with our normal operational procedures and may be taken away only where lawful and appropriate to do so. Some waste, such as contaminated material, sharps, or items affected by biological hazards, may require specialist disposal arrangements. If such conditions are discovered, we may pause or decline the work and recommend that appropriate specialist action is taken before cleaning continues.
Customers must disclose any hazard that could affect waste handling, including animal waste, mould, sewage contamination, chemical residues, or other potentially dangerous substances. We are not a hazardous waste contractor unless expressly agreed in writing. If we are asked to deal with materials outside the usual scope of a carpet cleaning service, extra charges may apply, or we may refuse the request if lawful disposal cannot be assured.
7. Access, Property Conditions, and Safety
By booking Carpetcleaning W6, you confirm that you have authority to allow us access to the property and to consent to the cleaning work requested. You must make sure the site is safe, reasonably clear, and suitable for the service. This includes warning us about broken flooring, exposed wiring, loose steps, security restrictions, alarm systems, or any other condition that could present a risk to people or equipment.
We may refuse access to areas that are unsafe or that could put our staff, your property, or other persons at risk. If work is delayed because essential safety conditions are not met, the job may be rescheduled or treated as a chargeable cancellation. We are not responsible for delays caused by building entry issues, lockdown procedures, tenant unavailability, or third-party obstruction outside our control.
If keys, fobs, or entry codes are provided, you remain responsible for ensuring they are valid and usable. Any loss or misdirection of keys or access devices supplied to us must be reported promptly. We will take reasonable care of any such items while in our possession, but we are not responsible for delays caused by faulty access arrangements or inaccurate instructions.
8. Complaints and Re-Cleaning
If you are unhappy with part of the service, you must notify us within a reasonable time after completion and before any affected area is further used, altered, or cleaned by another party. This allows us to inspect the issue and, where appropriate, arrange a revisit. In many cases, a re-clean may be the most suitable way to resolve a genuine concern, provided the matter relates to the original work and is not caused by post-service use or external factors.
We do not accept complaints based solely on expected results that were not guaranteed, or on wear and damage that pre-existed the appointment. Any complaint must be supported by enough detail for us to assess the issue fairly. If inspection shows that the problem is unrelated to our work, caused by hidden defects, or affected by later interference, we may decline further action or may quote separately for additional remedial work.
9. Governing Law
These terms and any dispute or claim arising from them are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you are resident in Scotland or Northern Ireland, mandatory consumer rights applicable in your jurisdiction will continue to apply where required by law. Any legal proceedings relating to the service, the contract, or these terms shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the relevant part of the United Kingdom.
Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer under UK law. If any provision is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. The invalid part will be treated as removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest of the agreement will remain effective.
By proceeding with a booking for Carpetcleaning W6, you confirm that you understand and accept these Terms and Conditions. They are intended to provide a fair framework for our carpet cleaning services, including how bookings are made, how payments are handled, how cancellations are managed, and how liability and waste responsibilities are dealt with in a lawful and practical way.
