Terms and Conditions for Carpet Cleaning Hammersmith
These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Carpet Cleaning Hammersmith provides domestic and commercial carpet cleaning services. By making a booking, you agree to the terms below, which are designed to keep the service clear, fair and practical for both sides.
Please read them carefully before confirming any appointment, as they form part of the agreement between you and us.
For the purposes of these terms, references to “we,” “us,” and “our” mean the service provider delivering the carpet cleaning appointment, and references to “you” mean the person requesting or accepting the service. These terms apply to all standard carpet cleaning bookings, including stain treatment, deodorising, and related cleaning tasks agreed in advance. Any variation must be confirmed in writing or by a clear written record such as email or message.
Our aim is to deliver a professional carpet cleaning service with transparent pricing, reasonable expectations, and appropriate safeguards.
If any part of these terms is unclear, the booking should not be completed until the matter has been discussed and understood by both parties.
1. Booking Process
Bookings are normally made by providing the property details, the number of rooms or areas to be cleaned, the type of carpet or rug where relevant, and any known issues such as heavy staining, pet odours, or access restrictions. A quotation may be given on the basis of the information supplied by you, but the final price may be adjusted if the actual condition or scope of work differs from what was described at the time of booking.
A booking is not confirmed until it has been accepted by us and, where required, any deposit or pre-authorisation has been paid. We may ask for additional information before confirmation, especially where specialist equipment, stain treatment, or extra drying time may be needed. Carpet cleaners in Hammersmith may also need to confirm parking, entry arrangements, and whether furniture moving is included or excluded from the appointment.
You are responsible for ensuring that the premises are ready for cleaning at the agreed time. This includes providing safe access, clearing small items from the floor where possible, and informing us of any hazards, fragile items, or areas that should not be treated. If the property is not ready, we may need to wait, reschedule, or apply a call-out charge if reasonable time has been lost as a result.
2. Pricing and Payments
Prices are usually based on the size and condition of the carpeted area, the level of soiling, and any optional services requested. Any quote given before the visit is an estimate unless expressly stated as fixed. We may revise the price on arrival if the work required is materially different from the information provided, provided that you are informed before cleaning begins.
Payment is due in full upon completion of the service unless another arrangement has been agreed in advance. We may accept bank transfer, card payment, or another approved method, depending on the booking arrangement. If a deposit has been requested, it is used to secure the appointment and may be deducted from the final balance where applicable.
Late payment, failed payment, or chargeback disputes without reasonable basis may result in administration fees, recovery action, or refusal of future bookings. Carpet cleaning Hammersmith services are not usually provided on credit unless expressly agreed in writing. Where an invoice is issued, the payment period stated on the invoice must be observed.
3. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Access
We understand that plans can change. If you need to cancel or reschedule, you should notify us as soon as reasonably possible. Cancellations made with sufficient notice may avoid any charge, but short-notice cancellations, repeated rescheduling, or missed appointments may be subject to a fee to cover reserved time, travel, and preparation costs.
If we arrive and are unable to begin work because of lack of access, no one present to provide entry, unsafe conditions, or missing instructions, the appointment may be treated as a late cancellation or missed booking. In such cases, any deposit may be retained to offset costs. We will always act reasonably and consider the circumstances of the failed appointment.
You must ensure that someone authorised to approve the work is available at the start of the appointment or that access arrangements have been agreed in advance. Any delay caused by access issues may reduce the time available for cleaning and may affect the scope of what can be completed during the booked slot.
4. Service Standards and Customer Responsibilities
We will use reasonable skill and care in carrying out the cleaning service. However, carpets vary in age, fibre, dye stability, pile condition, and prior treatment history, so results cannot be guaranteed to be identical in every case. Certain stains may be permanent, reduced rather than removed, or may reappear due to underlying contamination or wicking from the carpet backing.
You are responsible for telling us about prior cleaning attempts, bleaching, colour loss, underlay issues, moth damage, or other conditions that may increase risk. Where necessary, we may decline to treat an area if, in our professional judgment, the work could cause damage. This is especially relevant for delicate materials, poorly fitted carpets, or surfaces that are already weakened.
Furniture moving, fragile item handling, and lifting of heavy objects are only included if agreed beforehand. We may refuse to move particularly heavy, valuable, or unstable items. Any pre-existing marks, wear, burns, pet damage, seam weakness, or loose carpet edges should be noted before work starts so expectations remain clear.
5. Liability and Limitations
Our liability is limited to direct losses caused by our proven negligence or breach of contract. We do not exclude liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation. Subject to those exceptions, we are not responsible for indirect losses, business interruption, loss of profits, or consequential damage.
Where damage is alleged, you must notify us as soon as reasonably possible and allow us an opportunity to inspect the issue before any repair or disposal takes place. Failure to do so may affect our ability to assess the cause and may limit any remedy. We may request photographs, supporting information, or access to the affected area in order to review the claim properly.
If we are found responsible for accidental damage, our obligation may be limited, at our discretion, to repair, re-clean, replace the affected item up to a reasonable value, or pay compensation not exceeding the amount you paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for pre-existing defects, hidden weakness, or damage arising from inaccurate information supplied by you.
6. Waste, Water Use, and Environmental Compliance
We operate in accordance with applicable UK waste and environmental requirements. Wastewater, detached debris, and any residues removed during the cleaning process must be handled and disposed of responsibly. Where portable extraction equipment is used, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that waste water is contained and not released in a manner that could cause pollution, nuisance, or damage.
You must tell us if there are local building rules, drainage limitations, or site restrictions affecting the disposal of cleaning water or residues. Any hazardous contamination, including bodily fluids, mould, chemicals, or biohazard material, must be declared in advance. We may refuse such work unless suitable controls, permissions, and disposal arrangements are in place.
Carpet cleaners Hammersmith may use detergents, pre-sprays, and stain treatments that are appropriate for the material and the level of soiling. We aim to use products responsibly and to minimise unnecessary waste of water and materials. If special disposal measures are required because of the nature of the carpet or contamination involved, these may be charged separately where permitted and agreed.
7. Complaints, Inspection, and Remedies
If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of the service, you should raise the issue promptly, ideally before the technician leaves the premises or as soon as the concern becomes apparent. This allows us the best chance to assess the matter and, where appropriate, to make a corrective attempt. Delayed complaints may be harder to verify and may limit available remedies.
We may ask for reasonable evidence, such as images or a description of the problem, and may arrange an inspection or follow-up visit where appropriate. Not every complaint will mean that the service was faulty; some concerns arise from carpet condition, existing staining, or normal drying variation. Any remedy offered will be fair and proportionate to the circumstances.
If a further treatment is necessary and reasonable, we may offer a re-clean of the affected area as a first step. Where this is not practical, any financial remedy will be assessed with reference to the actual service provided, the seriousness of the issue, and the terms set out in this agreement.
8. Termination of Service
We may refuse or stop work if it becomes unsafe, if instructions materially change during the appointment, if the premises are unsuitable, or if abusive or threatening behaviour occurs. In such circumstances, any amount already paid may be retained to cover time, travel, and preparation, unless we decide otherwise in the circumstances.
You may end the service before completion, but payment may still be due for the work already carried out and for any non-recoverable costs. If you request a change to the agreed scope that materially affects the appointment, we may revise the price, shorten the work, or treat the booking as a new service entirely.
9. Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising from them or their subject matter, are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where the law requires otherwise. This applies whether the booking was made online, by phone, or through any other agreed communication method.
Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. Any failure by us to enforce a term on one occasion does not waive our right to rely on it in the future.
By proceeding with a booking for Carpet Cleaning Hammersmith, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these Terms and Conditions in full. These provisions are intended to support a professional and reliable carpet cleaning service while keeping the arrangement clear for both parties.
