Terms and Conditions for Carpet Cleaners Canarywharf

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Carpet Cleaners Canarywharf provides domestic and commercial carpet cleaning services in the UK. By making a booking, confirming an appointment, or allowing work to begin, the customer agrees to these terms. For clarity, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the service provider, and “you” or “customer” refers to the person, business, or organisation requesting the service. These terms are intended to be fair, transparent, and consistent with UK consumer law and standard service practice.

Our service is designed to cover carpet cleaning and related soft floor cleaning tasks that have been agreed in advance. Any additional work, special treatment, stain removal attempt, or extra protection application must be approved before the service begins. While we aim to deliver a high standard of professional care, the condition, age, fibre type, and previous treatment of carpets can affect the final result. Customers should understand that certain marks, odours, wear patterns, and damage may not be fully reversible through cleaning.

These terms apply to all bookings made through any approved method, including telephone, email, online enquiry, or written instruction. If there is any inconsistency between these terms and a separate written agreement, the separate written agreement will apply only to the extent of that inconsistency. Any variation to these terms must be agreed in writing by both parties. The customer is responsible for reading and understanding the terms before booking the service.

Booking process begins when the customer provides accurate information about the property, the rooms or areas to be cleaned, access arrangements, and any known issues affecting the carpets. This includes details such as fibre type where known, heavy staining, pet odours, water damage, furniture movement requirements, parking or access restrictions, and any health or safety concerns. We may request photos or further information to help assess the booking, estimate the time required, and identify whether specialist equipment or products may be needed. A booking is not confirmed until we have accepted the request and, where applicable, received any required deposit or pre-authorisation.

All times given are estimated appointment windows unless specifically stated otherwise. We will use reasonable efforts to attend on time, but delays may occur due to traffic, weather, previous appointments running late, equipment issues, or unforeseen operational matters. If a delay is expected, we will try to inform the customer as soon as reasonably possible. Customers must ensure that we can access the premises at the agreed time and that the work area is reasonably prepared. This means the carpets should be accessible, valuables secured, and any fragile items or loose fittings removed where appropriate.

Changes to the booking may affect the price, duration, or suitability of the service. If on arrival the actual work differs materially from what was described at the time of booking, we may revise the quotation, alter the scope of work, or decline to proceed if the job cannot be completed safely or effectively within the original agreement. We reserve the right to refuse service where conditions are unsafe, illegal, or outside our reasonable operational capability. In such circumstances, any call-out or diagnostic charge previously disclosed may still apply.

Payments must be made in accordance with the price and method agreed at booking or before work commences. Unless stated otherwise, all prices are quoted in pounds sterling and may be subject to VAT where applicable. A quotation may be based on the information supplied by the customer and may be adjusted if the actual service differs from the description provided. Any additional charges for extra rooms, severe soiling, stain treatment, deodorising, parking, congestion-related access costs, or out-of-hours attendance will be explained where reasonably possible before the work proceeds.

We may request a deposit to secure a booking, especially for larger jobs, repeat appointments, or time-specific slots. If a deposit is required, it will be clearly stated at the time of booking. The deposit is usually applied toward the final invoice unless the booking is cancelled in breach of the cancellation terms. Payment is due immediately on completion unless alternative terms are agreed in writing. We accept the payment methods stated in the booking confirmation or invoice, and we may refuse cashless or card-based methods if technical issues prevent processing at the time of completion.

Customers are responsible for paying any undisputed amount promptly. If a payment is declined, delayed, reversed, or otherwise not received, we may charge reasonable recovery costs permitted by law. Any late payment interest or administrative charges will only be applied where lawful and where previously disclosed. We do not waive our right to recover unpaid sums by accepting part-payment or by allowing additional time for payment. Title to any goods supplied remains with us until full payment is received, where such retention is lawful and relevant.

Cancellations should be made as early as possible. If the customer cancels a confirmed booking, the notice period and any chargeable consequences will depend on how close the cancellation is to the appointment time and whether a deposit has been taken. Where a booking is cancelled with reasonable notice, we will usually offer a refund of any refundable deposit after deducting any non-recoverable costs already incurred. If cancellation occurs at short notice, we may retain all or part of the deposit to reflect lost time and administration.

For appointments cancelled on the day of service, or where the customer fails to provide access, we may charge a cancellation fee or a full call-out charge if we attend the property and are unable to complete the job for reasons outside our control. Examples include no access, parking refusal, the customer being absent, essential utilities unavailable where needed, or the customer not having the authority to approve the work. If the customer requests rescheduling, we will try to accommodate the request subject to availability, but the original slot is not guaranteed unless we confirm it in writing.

We may cancel or reschedule a booking if equipment becomes unavailable, staff are unwell, conditions are unsafe, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control make attendance impracticable. In such cases, we will aim to offer an alternative date or, where appropriate, refund any prepaid sum for the affected appointment. Our liability for cancellation is limited to the amount paid for the specific service that has not been provided, except where otherwise required by law.

Customers must ensure the property is suitable for cleaning and that we have clear access to the areas being treated. This includes moving small personal items, securing pets, and providing notice of any hidden hazards. If furniture relocation is included in the agreed service, only reasonable items will be moved and only where it is safe to do so. We do not move heavy, fixed, hazardous, highly valuable, or improperly assembled items unless specifically agreed in advance. The customer should also advise us of delicate flooring, loose carpet edges, electrical hazards, or water-sensitive materials before work begins.

Pre-existing damage may become more visible after cleaning, especially where dirt has concealed wear, fading, fibre deterioration, burns, stains, colour loss, or previous chemical damage. Cleaning may improve appearance but does not guarantee restoration to a like-new condition. Some stains are permanent, may reappear after drying, or may respond unpredictably to treatment. Odour removal can reduce unwanted smells but cannot be promised in every case, particularly where contamination has penetrated underlay, subflooring, or wall materials. Customers acknowledge that results can vary depending on the condition and history of the carpet.

If a customer asks us to use a particular product, method, or treatment contrary to our professional judgement, we may decline the request. We are not obliged to use a process that we reasonably believe could damage the carpet, reduce its lifespan, create safety issues, or breach manufacturer recommendations. We may also suspend work if we discover mould, excessive damp, bodily fluids, chemicals, pests, or other contamination requiring specialist handling. Any resulting advice is given in good faith, but the customer remains responsible for arranging appropriate specialist intervention where required.

Liability is limited to the extent permitted by UK law. We will exercise reasonable skill and care in providing carpet cleaning services, but we are not responsible for loss or damage caused by information supplied by the customer being incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading. We are also not liable for pre-existing faults, structural defects, hidden carpet weakness, colour instability, shrinkage due to prior manufacture issues, or damage caused by unsuitable materials already present in the property. Where a complaint relates to visible damage caused during our attendance, the customer must notify us as soon as reasonably practicable and before further treatment is carried out by any third party.

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 be excluded under applicable law. Where we are legally liable for direct loss or damage, our responsibility will be limited to the reasonable cost of repair or re-cleaning, or to the amount paid for the relevant service, whichever is lower, except where the law provides otherwise. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including loss of profit, loss of business, reputational harm, inconvenience, or temporary unavailability of an area for use.

Insurance arrangements may be maintained by us as appropriate for the nature of the business, but insurance does not widen our legal obligations. Customers are responsible for arranging their own insurance cover for valuable items, business interruption, or other losses not directly caused by our proven negligence. Any complaint or claim must be supported by reasonable evidence, and the customer must allow us a fair opportunity to inspect the issue and, where appropriate, attempt a remedy before engaging another provider or making a formal claim.

We operate in a manner intended to comply with applicable UK waste and environmental requirements. Waste arising from carpet cleaning may include dirty water, small quantities of debris, removed fibres, packaging, disposable cloths, and contaminated materials. We will manage waste responsibly and, where relevant, in accordance with our duties under applicable environmental and waste legislation. Customers must not ask us to dispose of hazardous substances unlawfully or to place prohibited materials into ordinary waste streams.

If the work generates wastewater, this will be handled using suitable methods and disposed of responsibly. The customer must inform us in advance of any local restrictions, drainage concerns, or special building rules that affect waste disposal or the use of equipment. Where contamination involves urine, mould, blood, chemicals, sharps, asbestos risk, or other regulated substances, the matter may fall outside standard carpet cleaning and may require specialist waste handling. We reserve the right to stop work where legal or safety concerns arise.

Environmental responsibility forms part of our service approach, and we may choose products and processes that balance cleaning performance with reasonable environmental care. However, we do not guarantee that any product is suitable for every carpet or every use case. Customers should advise us of allergies, sensitivities, or specific concerns before treatment begins. If an item or substance must be removed from site in a way that requires special handling, the customer must disclose this in advance and may need to arrange or approve a specialist disposal method.

Any complaint about the service should be raised promptly and with enough detail for us to investigate. This includes photographs where available, a description of the issue, the affected area, and the date of the service. We may request access to inspect the carpet, retest a cleaning area, or discuss possible remedial action. We will assess each complaint reasonably and in good faith. A complaint does not automatically mean that we accept liability, but we will consider whether a re-clean, partial refund, or other fair resolution is appropriate.

We are not in breach of contract for any delay or failure to perform obligations caused by events outside our reasonable control, including but not limited to extreme weather, fire, flood, industrial action, transport disruption, power failure, supply shortages, illness, or government restrictions. Where such circumstances apply, our obligations will be suspended for the duration of the event and resumed as soon as reasonably practicable. If the event continues for an unreasonable period, either party may cancel the affected service without liability for indirect losses.

The customer may not assign, transfer, or subcontract their rights or obligations under these terms without our written consent. We may assign or subcontract elements of the service where appropriate and lawful, provided the quality and contractual obligations are maintained. Any failure or delay by us in enforcing a term does not constitute a waiver of that term. If a court or competent authority finds any provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

These terms form the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the service, unless replaced or amended by a written agreement signed or otherwise accepted by both sides. No statement made before booking will override these terms unless confirmed in writing. Customers should keep a copy of their booking confirmation and any invoice for their records. By proceeding with the service, the customer confirms that they have the authority to request the work and to agree to these conditions on behalf of the property owner or managing party where relevant.

Governing law and jurisdiction: these Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with the service, these terms, or any related matter shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, except where mandatory consumer rights or statutory rules provide otherwise. Nothing in these terms is intended to reduce any rights you may have under applicable UK consumer protection legislation.

By booking Carpet Cleaners Canarywharf, the customer confirms acceptance of these terms in full. They are designed to protect both parties, support clear expectations, and ensure that the service is carried out professionally and lawfully. If any part of these terms is unclear, the customer should seek clarification before confirming the appointment. Continued use of the service after any update or amendment will indicate acceptance of the revised terms where lawful notice has been given.
