Terms and Conditions for Carpetcleaning W1W Services

These Terms and Conditions apply to all carpet cleaning and related domestic or commercial cleaning services provided by Carpetcleaning W1W. By making a booking, the customer confirms that they have read, understood, and agreed to these terms. The purpose of this document is to set out the basis on which services are offered, how appointments are arranged, how payments are handled, and what responsibilities apply to both parties. These terms are intended to be fair, clear, and consistent with UK consumer law and general business practice.

In these terms, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean Carpetcleaning W1W, and references to “you” and “your” mean the customer receiving or requesting the service. Services may include carpet cleaning, rug cleaning, stain treatment, odour removal, upholstery care, and other related treatments agreed in advance. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all services are provided on the basis of these conditions. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights.

We reserve the right to update or amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time. Any revised version will apply to bookings made after the date of publication or communication of the updated terms. If a booking has already been confirmed, the version in force at the time of confirmation will normally apply unless a later change is required by law or agreed by both parties. It is the customer’s responsibility to review the terms before confirming a booking.

Booking Process

All bookings are subject to availability and acceptance by Carpetcleaning W1W. A booking request may be made by any accepted communication method, including online enquiry, email, or telephone arrangement where available. A booking is not confirmed until we have issued confirmation and, where relevant, received any required deposit or pre-authorisation. We may request additional information before confirming an appointment, including the type of flooring, approximate room size, access details, parking restrictions, and any known stains, damage, or special conditions.

When you make a booking, you must provide accurate and complete information. This includes the service address, property type, access arrangements, and any issues that could affect the cleaning process. If the information provided is incomplete or misleading, the appointment may need to be changed, additional charges may apply, or the service may be refused if it cannot be delivered safely or effectively. The customer is responsible for ensuring that rooms are reasonably accessible and that fragile, valuable, or loose items are removed or protected before the appointment begins.

Appointment times are allocated as estimated arrival windows rather than fixed minute-by-minute times, unless expressly agreed otherwise. We will make reasonable efforts to arrive within the arranged period, but delays may occur due to traffic, weather, previous job overruns, equipment issues, or circumstances beyond our control. If a delay is expected, we will seek to inform the customer where reasonably possible. We are not liable for inconvenience caused by a delay that is outside our reasonable control, provided we have acted in good faith and kept the customer reasonably informed.

Before work begins, the customer or an authorised adult representative must be present or otherwise available to approve access and confirm the areas to be cleaned. If no one is available and access cannot be arranged, the appointment may be treated as a late cancellation or a wasted visit. Any quote or estimate given before inspection is based on the information available at the time and may be adjusted if the actual condition, size, soil level, or treatment requirement differs materially from what was described.

We may refuse or postpone a service where we reasonably believe that the site conditions are unsafe, unsuitable, or likely to prevent satisfactory completion. This may include excessive clutter, electrical hazards, inadequate water or power access, infestation, serious damp, or contamination. If work is postponed for reasons caused by the customer or the property condition, any reasonable costs already incurred may be charged.

Payments

Payment terms will be confirmed at the time of booking or before the service starts. Unless otherwise agreed, payment is due on completion of the service on the same day. We may require a deposit for larger jobs, repeated appointments, specialist treatments, or bookings made at busy periods. Deposits are non-refundable except where the booking is cancelled by us or where refund rights apply under law. Accepted payment methods may include bank transfer, card payment, or other agreed methods, subject to availability.

All prices are quoted in pounds sterling and may be shown inclusive or exclusive of VAT depending on whether VAT applies. Any applicable taxes will be identified where required. The price may change if the customer requests additional work, the property differs from the description provided, access is more difficult than expected, or there is a need for extra drying treatment, stain correction, or specialist equipment. We will seek approval before carrying out chargeable extras where reasonably practicable.

Where payment is not received by the due date, we reserve the right to charge interest and reasonable recovery costs to the extent permitted by law. Late or missed payment may also result in suspension of future bookings. If a payment card chargeback or disputed payment is initiated without reasonable grounds, we may seek evidence of service completion and any other supporting records. Customers remain responsible for paying any undisputed amount properly due under these terms.

Cancellations and Rescheduling

Customers may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving reasonable notice. Unless a different cancellation policy is stated at the time of booking, we ask for at least 24 hours’ notice before the arranged appointment. If notice is given within the required period, no cancellation charge will normally apply to standard bookings, although any non-refundable deposit may remain payable where this has been clearly stated in advance and is lawful. For larger, specialist, or urgent appointments, different notice periods may apply and will be advised at booking.

If the customer cancels with less than the required notice, or fails to provide access at the agreed time, we may charge a cancellation fee or wasted appointment fee that reflects the loss of reserved labour, travel time, and admin costs. Such charges will be reasonable and proportionate. We will not charge cancellation fees where the customer’s cancellation right is protected by law and exercised in accordance with applicable statutory rules, including any applicable cooling-off rights where relevant.

We may also cancel or reschedule a booking if necessary due to illness, severe weather, equipment failure, safety concerns, lack of access, or other reasons outside our control. In such cases, we will offer an alternative date where reasonably possible. If we cancel and cannot reasonably reschedule, any advance payment for the cancelled portion of the service will be refunded. Our liability for cancellation will not extend beyond the refund of sums properly paid for the cancelled element, except where a legal obligation says otherwise.

Liability

We will take reasonable care and use appropriate methods, products, and equipment when carrying out carpet cleaning services. However, results can vary depending on the type, age, and condition of the carpet or fabric, previous treatments, level of soiling, and the presence of permanent staining or wear. We do not guarantee complete stain removal, colour restoration, or the elimination of all odours. Some marks may be permanent or may reappear after drying, particularly where prior damage or residue is present.

It is the customer’s responsibility to tell us about any known risks, including colour bleed, shrinkage concerns, underlay issues, fragile fibres, moth damage, previous flooding, or carpets that have been improperly fitted or repaired. Where possible, we may carry out a small test area, but this does not remove the customer’s responsibility to disclose relevant information. We are not liable for damage caused by defects, hidden weakness, unsuitable pre-existing conditions, or information not disclosed by the customer.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for loss or damage arising from any single booking shall be limited to the total amount paid or payable for the specific service in question. 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. We are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of business, or loss of goodwill.

Waste Regulations and Property Conditions

In providing carpet cleaning in W1W and related services, we may generate waste materials such as waste water, disposable cloths, packaging, extracted debris, or contaminated residues. We will handle waste responsibly and in line with applicable UK environmental and waste management requirements. We may not remove or dispose of hazardous waste unless expressly agreed and legally permitted. Any waste arising from the service remains the responsibility of the customer unless we have agreed in writing to take possession of it as part of the job.

The customer must ensure that the premises allow lawful and safe disposal of any waste we are contracted to remove. If the job requires disposal of non-routine materials, including heavily contaminated items, biohazards, or restricted waste, we may decline the task or apply specialist charges if legally permitted and appropriately arranged. We reserve the right to refuse work that would require us to breach waste regulations, environmental laws, or health and safety obligations.

The customer is also responsible for confirming that the property is suitable for the intended service. This includes providing safe access, working utilities where required, and a clean enough environment for the service to proceed without avoidable risk. Where water extraction, drying equipment, or cleaning solutions are used, we are not responsible for incidental moisture, temporary noise, or mild odour associated with normal cleaning processes, provided these are reasonable and handled with due care.

Complaints, Data, and Governing Law

If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of the service, you should notify us within a reasonable time after completion so that we can consider the issue and, where appropriate, inspect the work. We may request photographs, descriptions, or access to the treated area to assess the complaint properly. Any remedy offered may include a re-clean or other reasonable corrective step, provided the complaint is genuine and relates to work carried out by us. This does not affect your statutory rights.

We will only use personal information in connection with providing and administering services, dealing with enquiries, managing bookings, and meeting legal or regulatory obligations. Personal data will be handled in accordance with applicable UK data protection law. We will take reasonable measures to protect information submitted to us, but no system can be guaranteed completely secure. Further details about data handling may be provided separately where required.

These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising from or in connection with them, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where consumer law gives you the right to bring proceedings in another part of the UK. If any part of these terms is found unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force.

By confirming a booking with Carpetcleaning W1W, you agree that these terms form part of the contract between us and you. Any variation to these terms must be agreed in writing by both parties. No employee or representative is authorised to make promises that conflict with these terms unless expressly confirmed in writing by an authorised person. If there is any inconsistency between these terms and any written quote or booking confirmation, the written confirmation will take priority to the extent of the inconsistency.

Nothing in these terms is intended to create rights for third parties under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 unless expressly stated. Delay in enforcing any right or remedy does not constitute a waiver of that right or remedy. Our failure to insist on strict performance of any obligation shall not prevent us from doing so later. These terms are designed to support a clear and professional service relationship for carpet cleaning services and associated treatments.
