These Terms and Conditions govern the provision of carpet, upholstery, rug, and related cleaning services by Carpet Cleaning SW16 to residential and commercial customers within its service area. By booking a service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

If you do not agree with any part of these Terms and Conditions, you should not proceed with a booking or use our services.

1. Definitions

In these Terms and Conditions, the following definitions apply.

Client means the individual or business requesting or receiving services from Carpet Cleaning SW16.

Company means Carpet Cleaning SW16, the provider of cleaning services.

Services means any carpet, rug, upholstery, mattress, hard floor, stain removal, or related cleaning services supplied by the Company.

Premises means the location where the Services are to be carried out.

Agreement means the contract formed between the Client and the Company when a booking is accepted.

2. Scope of Services

The Company provides professional carpet and related cleaning services within its designated service area, including but not limited to parts of SW16 and surrounding districts, as may be updated by the Company from time to time.

The specific scope of the Services, including the areas to be cleaned, the type of cleaning system to be used, and any additional treatments, will be agreed at the time of booking and confirmed by the Company verbally or in writing.

The Company reserves the right to refuse any job which, in its reasonable opinion, presents a health and safety risk, involves unlawful material, or requires specialist services beyond its competence or equipment.

3. Booking Process

Bookings may be requested via the Companys accepted communication channels as stated on its official materials. The Client must provide accurate and complete information, including the Premises address, property type, access details, parking arrangements, and an accurate description of the areas and items to be cleaned.

All bookings are subject to availability. The Company will confirm the booking by issuing a booking confirmation verbally or in writing, and only at this point is the Agreement formed.

The Company may request photographs or detailed descriptions of the carpets, rugs, or upholstery prior to confirming a booking, in order to estimate the duration of the work, the level of soiling, and any special requirements.

The Client must inform the Company at the time of booking of any special conditions, including but not limited to fragile items, pre-existing damage, unusual staining, pet odours, or areas of restricted access.

4. Access to the Premises

The Client is responsible for providing safe and reasonable access to the Premises at the agreed time. This includes ensuring that the Companys staff can enter the Premises, that common areas are accessible, and that pets or other obstacles are suitably managed.

Where parking permits, pay and display tickets, or specific access instructions are required, the Client must arrange these in advance or reimburse the Company for all associated costs.

If the Company is unable to gain access to the Premises at the agreed time due to reasons beyond its control, this may be treated as a late cancellation, and a fee may be charged in accordance with the cancellation policy set out below.

5. Preparation of the Premises

The Client is responsible for ensuring that the areas to be cleaned are reasonably clear and accessible. This includes moving light furniture, personal items, fragile objects, and any valuables before the arrival of the Companys staff, unless otherwise agreed.

The Company does not undertake the lifting or moving of heavy furniture, electrical appliances, or items that may pose a risk of damage or injury. If such items are not moved prior to the appointment, the Company may clean around them only, and this will not be considered incomplete work.

The Client must ensure that there is a functioning supply of electricity and, where necessary, water at the Premises on the day of the Service. If such utilities are not available, the Company may not be able to carry out the work, and a call-out or cancellation fee may apply.

6. Pricing and Quotations

Prices for Services are based on the information provided by the Client and may take into account room size, number of items, condition and type of carpet or upholstery, level of soiling, and access considerations.

Any quotation provided by the Company is an estimate only and is subject to change if the information provided by the Client is inaccurate or incomplete, or if the Company discovers additional work is required upon arrival at the Premises. In such cases, the Client will be informed before any additional charges are incurred.

All prices are stated in pounds sterling. Where applicable, any taxes or statutory charges will be reflected in the final price in accordance with UK law.

7. Payments

Unless otherwise agreed, payment is due on completion of the Services on the same day. The Company accepts payment methods that it has made available, which may include card payments, bank transfer, or other approved options.

For commercial Clients or larger projects, the Company may require a deposit, part payment in advance, or operate on invoice terms. Any such arrangements will be agreed prior to the commencement of work.

If payment is not received on completion, the Company reserves the right to charge interest on overdue amounts at a reasonable rate permitted under UK law, and to suspend further services until full payment is received.

The Client agrees to pay all reasonable costs incurred by the Company in recovering overdue amounts, including debt collection and legal fees, where permitted by law.

8. Cancellations and Rescheduling

If the Client needs to cancel or reschedule a booking, the Client must notify the Company as early as possible. The Company may specify a minimum notice period for cancellations and rescheduling. Failure to provide sufficient notice may result in a cancellation fee being charged.

Where the Client cancels on the day of the appointment or the Company is unable to gain access to the Premises, the Company may charge a call-out or late cancellation fee to cover travel time and administrative costs.

The Company reserves the right to cancel or reschedule a booking in the event of circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to illness, equipment failure, extreme weather, transport disruption, or health and safety concerns. In such cases, the Company will offer an alternative appointment as soon as reasonably possible.

9. Client Obligations

The Client agrees to provide accurate information, to cooperate with the Company, and to comply with these Terms and Conditions.

The Client must inform the Company of any known hazards at the Premises, including loose floor coverings, faulty electrical sockets, or the presence of hazardous materials.

The Client must not request that Company staff undertake any illegal activity or any work outside the agreed scope of Services or their training and competence.

10. Service Quality and Limitations

The Company aims to deliver Services with reasonable care and skill. However, the Client acknowledges that certain stains, odours, and damage may be permanent and cannot be fully removed despite the use of professional cleaning techniques.

The Company does not guarantee complete stain removal, restoration of items to their original condition, or elimination of all odours, particularly where stains are old, have been treated with unsuitable products, or involve substances that permanently alter fibres or dyes.

The Client understands that different fabrics and carpets react differently to cleaning processes. The Company will use its professional judgment to select appropriate methods and products but will not be liable for colour changes, shrinkage, wear and tear becoming more visible, or previously hidden damage that is revealed by cleaning.

11. Damage and Liability

The Company will take reasonable care when providing the Services. If the Client believes that damage has occurred as a result of the Services, the Client must notify the Company as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within a reasonable period after completion of the work.

The Companys liability for any damage caused by its negligence or breach of contract will be limited, to the extent permitted by law, to the lesser of the cost of repairing the damage or the current market value of the affected item.

The Company will not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit, loss of enjoyment, or loss of business, arising out of or in connection with the provision of the Services.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes or limits the Companys liability for death or personal injury caused by its negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited under UK law.

12. Waste Handling and Environmental Regulations

The Company will handle and dispose of any waste arising from the Services in accordance with applicable UK waste and environmental regulations, including those relating to the storage, transport, and disposal of contaminated water, cleaning residues, and packaging.

Where feasible, the Company will seek to minimise environmental impact by using suitable cleaning solutions and responsible disposal practices.

The Client must not ask the Company to dispose of hazardous or prohibited materials that fall outside the Companys normal waste handling procedures. If the Company encounters such materials, it may refuse to handle them and advise the Client to use a specialist licensed waste contractor.

13. Insurance

The Company maintains appropriate insurance cover in respect of its Services, as may be required under UK law and good industry practice.

Details of insurance cover may be made available to Clients upon reasonable request. The existence of insurance does not extend or increase the Companys liability beyond that set out in these Terms and Conditions or required by law.

14. Complaints and Dispute Resolution

If the Client is dissatisfied with any aspect of the Services, the Client should contact the Company as soon as possible with details of the issue. The Company will investigate complaints in a fair and timely manner and will seek to reach a reasonable resolution, which may include a re-clean of specific areas or other appropriate remedy.

Any request for a re-clean must normally be made within a reasonable period after completion of the Services, taking into account the nature of the complaint and the expected drying or settling time.

If a dispute cannot be resolved directly between the parties, either party may pursue any remedies available under UK law, including recourse to the courts.

15. Privacy and Data Protection

The Company will collect and process personal data about Clients in order to manage bookings, provide Services, and administer its business. The Company will comply with applicable UK data protection laws when handling such information.

Personal data will be used only for legitimate business purposes, including communicating with Clients, processing payments, and improving Services, and will not be sold to third parties.

16. Amendments to These Terms

The Company may update or amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in law, industry practice, or its business operations. The latest version will apply to any new bookings made after the date of the change.

Where changes are material and affect existing Agreements, the Company will take reasonable steps to inform affected Clients where practicable.

17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the Services provided, 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 to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions or their subject matter.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found by a court or other competent authority to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed deleted to the extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

19. Entire Agreement

These Terms and Conditions, together with any written confirmation or specific agreement relating to a particular booking, constitute the entire agreement between the Client and the Company in relation to the Services and supersede any prior discussions, representations, or understandings.

By proceeding with a booking and allowing the Company to perform the Services at the Premises, the Client acknowledges and agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.
