Terms and Conditions for Carpet Cleaners Ealing
These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which we provide domestic and commercial carpet cleaning services. By making a booking, you agree to these terms in full. They are intended to create clarity about the service process, pricing, cancellations, responsibility for access and preparation, and the limits of our liability. They also explain how we handle waste, chemicals, and general compliance matters so that our carpet cleaners in Ealing can deliver a professional service in a safe and lawful manner.
For the purposes of these terms, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the service provider offering carpet and upholstery cleaning. References to “you” and “your” mean the customer, property owner, tenant, or authorised representative who books the service. These terms apply to all standard carpet cleaning appointments, including scheduled visits, one-off cleaning jobs, and repeat maintenance services, unless a separate written agreement has been made.
We aim to provide a straightforward and transparent service. However, because every property is different, the exact cleaning outcome may vary depending on fibre type, age of the carpet, level of soiling, prior cleaning history, stain composition, and environmental conditions. Professional carpet cleaners can improve appearance and hygiene, but no cleaning method can guarantee the complete removal of all stains, odours, wear patterns, or embedded contamination.
By booking with us, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding contract. If you are booking on behalf of a landlord, letting agent, business, or other third party, you confirm that you have authority to do so. You also confirm that the property is reasonably accessible, that the surfaces to be cleaned are suitable for the proposed treatment, and that you will disclose any relevant information that may affect the service, including delicate fibres, pre-existing damage, or special risk factors.
Booking Process
Bookings may be made by phone, email, or through any other booking method we may offer from time to time. A booking request does not become confirmed until we have accepted it and, where applicable, received any required deposit or pre-authorisation. We may ask for details such as the property type, number and size of rooms, material type, stain issues, access arrangements, parking restrictions, and preferred appointment dates. This information helps us allocate the correct time, equipment, and staff.
Once we confirm a booking, we will usually provide an estimated appointment window, a summary of the requested service, and any assumptions relied on in providing a quote. It is your responsibility to check that the details are correct. If any material facts change before the appointment, you must notify us as soon as possible so that we can adjust the schedule, equipment, or price if needed. We reserve the right to refuse or reschedule a booking if the information provided is incomplete or misleading.
We may also decline or cancel a booking where the requested work is unsafe, impractical, outside our capabilities, or likely to breach legal or environmental requirements. Examples include excessive contamination, active infestation, unsafe electrics, hazardous materials, or any condition that would make it unreasonable to proceed. If we attend and are unable to complete the service because the property is not prepared or access is unavailable, a call-out or wasted attendance charge may apply.
Pricing and Payments
Prices are usually based on the information you provide at the time of booking. Unless stated otherwise, quotations are estimates and may be adjusted on the day if the actual work differs materially from the description given. Additional charges may apply for extra rooms, heavy soil, specialist stain treatment, furniture moving, restricted access, parking costs, emergency appointments, or work requiring more time than originally allowed. Any price variation will be explained before the service proceeds where reasonably possible.
Payment terms will be confirmed at the time of booking or before the appointment. We may require full payment on completion, a deposit in advance, or part-payment for larger or repeat jobs. We accept payment by methods we specify from time to time. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, invoices are due immediately upon completion. If payment is not made on time, we may charge interest and reasonable recovery costs to the extent permitted by law. Commercial carpet cleaning customers may be subject to separate credit terms if agreed in writing.
Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Access
You may cancel or reschedule an appointment by giving us reasonable notice. If you cancel with sufficient notice, we may refund any deposit, subject to deductions for costs already incurred where applicable. If you cancel late, fail to provide access, or are not ready for the service at the agreed time, we may charge a cancellation fee to cover lost time and operational costs. The amount of any fee will be proportionate and based on the circumstances of the booking.
We may also reschedule or cancel if staff safety, weather conditions, traffic disruption, equipment failure, or other operational issues prevent us from attending as planned. Where this occurs, we will aim to offer a new appointment date. We are not responsible for indirect losses caused by a reasonable rescheduling, provided we act fairly and in good faith. If a booking cannot proceed due to your failure to prepare the property, you may still be charged for the wasted visit.
To enable the service, you must ensure that the property is accessible at the agreed time and that the work area is prepared as far as reasonably practicable. This includes removing fragile items, securing pets, and making sure that relevant areas are available for cleaning. If heavy furniture is to be moved, you should tell us in advance. We may decline to move certain items, including items that are too heavy, unstable, valuable, or likely to cause damage.
Liability and Service Standards
We will carry out our services with reasonable care and skill, using appropriate methods and equipment. If we make a mistake that directly causes loss or damage, we will take reasonable steps to investigate and, where appropriate, rectify the issue or offer a proportionate remedy. However, our liability is limited to losses that are reasonably foreseeable and directly caused by our breach of contract, negligence, or failure to comply with applicable law.
We are not responsible for pre-existing damage, hidden defects, wear and tear, colour loss, failed previous treatments, or deterioration arising from the age or condition of the carpet. Some carpets may react unpredictably to cleaning products, water, agitation, or drying conditions. While our carpet cleaners will use suitable techniques, certain stains, odours, and marks may not be removable. We do not guarantee that carpets will be restored to a “like new” condition.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation. Subject to that, we shall not be liable for indirect, consequential, or special losses, including loss of profit, loss of business opportunity, or loss of enjoyment. Where the law permits, our total liability for any single booking will not exceed the total amount paid or payable for that specific service.
Customer Responsibilities
You are responsible for giving accurate information, ensuring safe access, and letting us know about any special circumstances that may affect the work. This includes water supply issues, electrical problems, staining agents, previous cleaning products, and any known material sensitivity. If you have requested a particular finish or treatment, you should understand that some results depend on the fabric and condition of the carpet rather than the method used.
We may ask you to sign a work sheet, completion note, or other record confirming the services provided. This does not affect your statutory rights. If you do not raise any issues at the time of completion, this may affect our ability to investigate later concerns. Any complaint should be made within a reasonable time and should include enough information for us to assess the matter properly.
If you ask us to clean items that are not suitable for wet cleaning or standard treatment, you do so at your own risk unless we have specifically agreed otherwise in writing. We may refuse to clean items that appear unsafe, fragile, contaminated beyond normal domestic use, or otherwise unsuitable. The decision of our operative on the day regarding safe treatment methods will be final if made for health, safety, or equipment protection reasons.
Waste Regulations and Environmental Compliance
We aim to operate in accordance with applicable UK waste and environmental rules. Any waste generated by the service, including packaging, used materials, or contaminated consumables, will be handled responsibly. Where waste must be removed by us, it will be disposed of or transferred only in line with relevant legal obligations. We will not knowingly dispose of hazardous waste, controlled substances, or restricted materials without proper authority and compliance arrangements.
You must tell us in advance if the property contains any waste or contamination that may be regulated, such as biological contamination, mould beyond ordinary household levels, chemical spills, asbestos risk, sharps, or pest-related waste. We may suspend or refuse the service if we consider that the material presents a health risk or requires specialist handling. In such cases, you may need to instruct a licensed specialist contractor before cleaning can safely proceed.
Where wastewater is produced during cleaning, we will take reasonable steps to manage it properly and avoid unlawful discharge. You agree not to request disposal practices that would breach environmental law, drainage restrictions, or site-specific rules. If your property has particular requirements, such as managed premises rules or landlord conditions, you should notify us beforehand so that the service can be carried out in a compliant manner.
Force Majeure and Delays
We are not liable for delays or non-performance caused by events outside our reasonable control. These may include severe weather, accidents, transport disruption, power failures, industrial action, supply shortages, or emergency government restrictions. If such an event prevents or delays the service, we will make reasonable efforts to rearrange the appointment or provide an alternative solution where appropriate. Neither party will be treated as in breach where the failure arises directly from such circumstances.
Data and Communications
Any personal information you provide for booking and administration purposes will be used only for service-related communication, record-keeping, and lawful business operations. We will handle information in accordance with applicable data protection requirements. If we need to contact you about access, timing, pricing, or changes to the service, we may do so using the details supplied at booking. You are responsible for ensuring those details remain current.
We may retain records relating to quotes, appointments, invoices, and service notes for lawful and operational reasons. These records may be used to evidence work completed, manage disputes, and meet accounting or regulatory obligations. We will not use your data for unrelated purposes unless permitted by law or agreed by you.
Complaints and Dispute Handling
If you believe there is an issue with the service, you should notify us as soon as reasonably possible and provide a clear description of the concern. We may ask for photographs, a written explanation, or an opportunity to inspect the area. We will assess complaints fairly and may offer re-attendance, a partial refund, or another proportionate solution depending on the facts. No remedy will be offered where the issue results from information withheld by you, normal wear and tear, or factors outside our control.
We prefer to resolve disputes amicably and without unnecessary escalation. If a matter cannot be resolved through discussion, either party may pursue any lawful remedy available. Nothing in these terms prevents you from relying on rights that cannot be excluded under consumer law. If any clause is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining clauses will continue in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions, 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. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where consumer law provides otherwise. By proceeding with a booking for carpet cleaners Ealing services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms.
We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in law, service methods, or business practices. The version in force at the time of your booking will normally apply to that booking unless a later version is expressly agreed. If you have any questions before booking, please review the terms carefully so that the service can proceed on a clear and informed basis.
