Carpet Cleaners SE3 Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions govern the provision of carpet, upholstery and related cleaning services by Carpet Cleaners SE3 to residential and commercial customers. By making a booking, you agree to be bound by these terms. Please read them carefully before confirming your appointment.
1. Definitions
In these Terms and Conditions, the following expressions have the meanings set out below:
Customer means the person or entity booking or receiving the services from Carpet Cleaners SE3.
Services means any carpet, rug, upholstery, mattress, curtain or other cleaning, stain treatment, deodorising, or related work provided by Carpet Cleaners SE3.
Technician means any operative, contractor, employee or representative of Carpet Cleaners SE3 who attends the premises to provide the services.
Premises means the property or location where the services are to be carried out.
2. Scope of Services
Carpet Cleaners SE3 provides professional cleaning services for carpets, rugs, upholstery and related items within its service area. The specific services to be delivered will be agreed at the time of booking, based on the description provided by the customer.
Any quote or estimate is based on information supplied by the customer and on standard room sizes or item descriptions. Carpet Cleaners SE3 reserves the right to amend the quoted price if the actual condition, size or access differs significantly from the information provided, or if additional services are requested on site.
All services are subject to availability of technicians and equipment, and Carpet Cleaners SE3 reserves the right to refuse any booking at its sole discretion.
3. Booking Process
Bookings may be made through the methods offered by Carpet Cleaners SE3 from time to time. When making a booking, the customer must provide accurate information, including property type, number and size of rooms or items, access details, parking arrangements, and any particular concerns such as heavy soiling, stains, pets, or previous damage.
A booking is considered provisional until confirmed by Carpet Cleaners SE3. Confirmation may be provided verbally or in writing, and will include the agreed date, time window, and an indication of the services to be provided. Carpet Cleaners SE3 may request proof of identity or authority to authorise work at the premises.
The customer must ensure that a responsible adult is present at the premises at the time of the appointment, unless otherwise agreed. Access to the premises must be safe and unobstructed. If the technician is unable to gain access or considers that conditions are unsafe, the visit may be treated as a late cancellation and charges may apply.
4. Pricing and Quotations
Prices are normally provided as a fixed quote or as a rate per item, room, or square metre, depending on the service. All prices are given in UK currency and are inclusive or exclusive of VAT as indicated at the time of booking.
Any quotation is valid for a limited period from the date it is given, as notified to the customer. Quotations are based on normal working conditions and standard levels of soiling. Heavily soiled items, the presence of odours, infestations, or other challenging conditions may incur additional charges which will be communicated to the customer before work proceeds.
If the customer requests extra services on the day of the appointment, such as additional rooms, items, or treatments, these will be charged at the applicable rates and added to the final invoice.
5. Payments
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due immediately upon completion of the services at the premises. Carpet Cleaners SE3 accepts the payment methods it specifies at the time of booking or service, which may include cashless options such as card payments.
For certain bookings, including larger or commercial projects, Carpet Cleaners SE3 may require a deposit or full prepayment to secure the appointment. Any deposit requirements and due dates will be advised at the time of booking.
Where payment terms are agreed for business customers, invoices must be settled within the period stated on the invoice. Late payment may result in interest and administration charges in accordance with applicable UK legislation and commercial practices.
Carpet Cleaners SE3 reserves the right to suspend, withhold or cancel services where payment is overdue or where the customer has a history of late or non-payment.
6. Cancellations and Rescheduling
The customer may cancel or reschedule a booking by providing notice to Carpet Cleaners SE3 within the timescales specified in this clause. Notice must be given using the communication methods accepted by Carpet Cleaners SE3 from time to time.
If the customer cancels or reschedules at least 48 hours before the scheduled appointment time, no cancellation fee will usually apply. If the customer cancels or reschedules within 24 to 48 hours of the appointment, Carpet Cleaners SE3 may charge a partial fee to cover administrative and scheduling costs.
For cancellations or rescheduling with less than 24 hours notice, or where access is not provided at the agreed time, Carpet Cleaners SE3 reserves the right to charge up to the full service fee. Any retained deposit may be offset against these charges.
Carpet Cleaners SE3 may, on occasion, need to cancel or change an appointment due to unforeseen circumstances such as staff illness, equipment failure, traffic disruption, or extreme weather. In such cases, Carpet Cleaners SE3 will seek to provide as much notice as reasonably possible and will offer to reschedule the service at a mutually convenient time. Carpet Cleaners SE3 will not be liable for any indirect loss arising from such changes.
7. Customer Obligations
The customer is responsible for ensuring that the premises are ready for the technician to carry out the services. This includes moving small and fragile items from the areas to be cleaned, securing valuables, and ensuring clear access to carpets and upholstery.
Unless otherwise agreed, Carpet Cleaners SE3 technicians are not responsible for moving heavy furniture, electrical equipment, or personal belongings. If the customer requests assistance with moving items, this is done at the customer’s risk and may incur additional time and charges.
The customer must inform Carpet Cleaners SE3 in advance of any pre-existing damage, wear, loose fittings, stains, or particular risks relating to carpets, rugs, upholstery, or fixtures and fittings at the premises. The customer must also notify the technician of any known sensitivities or allergies to cleaning products.
8. Cleaning Methods and Results
Carpet Cleaners SE3 will use appropriate cleaning methods and products based on the type and condition of the items being treated and in accordance with industry practices. The technician will assess the materials on site and may adjust the planned method where necessary for safety or effectiveness.
While every reasonable effort is made to achieve good results, complete stain or odour removal cannot be guaranteed. Certain stains, marks or odours may be permanent or may significantly improve without being fully removed. Colour changes, shading, pile distortion or wear may become more visible after cleaning, especially on older or heavily used carpets and fabrics.
Drying times vary depending on ventilation, temperature, humidity, and the nature of the materials. The technician may offer guidance on drying and aftercare, but Carpet Cleaners SE3 cannot accept liability for damage caused by failure to follow advice, by the use of the area before it is fully dry, or by external factors outside its control.
9. Waste Handling and Environmental Compliance
Carpet Cleaners SE3 operates in accordance with applicable UK waste and environmental regulations. Any waste generated as part of the cleaning process, including extracted soiling and used consumables, will be managed responsibly.
Where waste is removed from the premises by Carpet Cleaners SE3, it will be transported and disposed of using appropriate methods, consistent with current legislation. The customer may be responsible for the disposal of certain items, such as large quantities of pre-existing waste, unwanted furnishings, or materials not directly arising from the cleaning services.
Chemicals and cleaning agents are selected with consideration for both performance and environmental impact. Customers should inform Carpet Cleaners SE3 of any site-specific requirements or restrictions relating to waste water disposal or chemical use at the premises.
10. Damage, Liability and Insurance
Carpet Cleaners SE3 will exercise reasonable skill and care in providing the services. The company holds appropriate insurance cover in line with UK industry standards. However, liability is limited as set out in this clause.
Carpet Cleaners SE3 will not be liable for pre-existing damage, wear, discolouration, loose seams, fraying, shrinkage risk, or faults in materials or installation that are revealed or worsened by the cleaning process. The customer acknowledges that some materials are inherently delicate or unstable and may react unpredictably to cleaning.
Carpet Cleaners SE3 will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from inaccurate information provided by the customer, failure to follow advice or aftercare instructions, use of the cleaned areas before they are fully dry, or issues caused by third parties or unrelated works at the premises.
To the fullest extent permitted by UK law, Carpet Cleaners SE3 excludes liability for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit, loss of business, or loss of enjoyment. In any event, the total liability of Carpet Cleaners SE3 in respect of any claim shall be limited to the price paid or payable for the services giving rise to the claim.
Any alleged damage must be reported to Carpet Cleaners SE3 as soon as reasonably possible and, in any case, within 48 hours of the service. The customer must provide access and cooperation to allow inspection and any remedial action. Failure to report issues within this period may affect the ability to investigate and resolve the matter.
11. Access, Health and Safety
The customer must ensure that the premises are safe for the technician to work in, including adequate lighting, ventilation, and access. The presence of hazards such as exposed wiring, leaks, infestations, or aggressive animals may result in the service being refused or discontinued.
Children and pets should be kept away from the work area and from any equipment, cables or cleaning products during and immediately after the service. Carpet Cleaners SE3 is not responsible for injury or damage resulting from unauthorised interference with equipment or failure to follow safety advice.
12. Complaints and Dispute Resolution
If the customer is dissatisfied with any aspect of the services, they should raise the issue with Carpet Cleaners SE3 as soon as possible, ideally while the technician is still on site. Where this is not possible, the customer should contact Carpet Cleaners SE3 promptly after the service, providing details and supporting information.
Carpet Cleaners SE3 will investigate complaints in a fair and timely manner. Where a complaint is upheld, the company may, at its discretion, offer a re-clean of the affected area, a partial refund, or another form of resolution considered appropriate to the circumstances.
Nothing in these terms affects the customer’s statutory rights under UK law.
13. Privacy and Data Protection
Carpet Cleaners SE3 collects and uses personal data necessary to manage bookings, deliver services, and administer customer relationships. Data is handled in accordance with applicable UK data protection laws.
Information may be used for communication regarding appointments, invoicing, and service updates. Carpet Cleaners SE3 will not sell personal data to third parties and will only share data where necessary for service delivery, legal compliance, or legitimate business interests.
14. Amendments to Terms
Carpet Cleaners SE3 may update or amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in services, legal requirements, or business practices. The version in force at the time of the customer’s booking will apply to that booking, unless otherwise agreed.
The current Terms and Conditions will be made available upon request.
15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the services, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.
The parties agree that 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 the services provided by Carpet Cleaners SE3.
