Terms and Conditions for Kingston Upon Thames Carpet Cleaners

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Kingston Upon Thames Carpet Cleaners provides professional carpet, rug, upholstery, and related cleaning services to domestic and commercial customers. By making a booking, confirming an appointment, or allowing work to begin, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms. Please read them carefully before placing an order for any carpet cleaning service or associated treatment.

In these terms, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean Kingston Upon Thames Carpet Cleaners, and references to “you” and “your” mean the customer receiving the service. These conditions are designed to create a clear, fair, and practical agreement for both parties. They apply to all standard and specialist cleaning work, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

These terms are intended to cover the full service relationship, including booking, access, preparation, payment, cancellations, limitations of liability, and disposal of waste created during cleaning. They are written to reflect UK consumer and business practice and should be read alongside any service description, quotation, or written confirmation we provide.

All bookings are subject to availability and are accepted only once we have confirmed the appointment. A request for service does not itself create a binding contract. We may ask for details such as room sizes, flooring type, stain issues, parking access, and any special requirements so that we can provide an accurate quotation and assign appropriate equipment and staffing for your carpet cleaners Kingston Upon Thames appointment.

Where a quotation is based on information provided by you, that quotation is valid only on the basis that the details supplied are correct and complete. If the property, items, or level of soiling differ materially from the information originally given, we may revise the price before starting work. Any agreed changes will be communicated as soon as reasonably practicable.

Our booking process may include a provisional time slot or an estimated arrival window. While we always aim to be punctual, arrival times can be affected by traffic, weather, equipment issues, or previous appointments running longer than expected. We will use reasonable efforts to keep delays to a minimum and to notify you where practicable if our estimated timing changes.

You must ensure that the premises are reasonably prepared for cleaning before our arrival. This includes moving small personal items, securing pets, and making sure that we have safe access to the areas to be cleaned. If special access arrangements are needed, or if a building requires entry codes, parking permissions, or lift access, you must tell us in advance.

If we are unable to start or complete work because access has not been provided, the area is unsafe, or relevant information has not been disclosed, we may charge a call-out fee or a cancellation fee reflecting the time and costs already incurred. This applies whether the issue is caused by the customer, the occupier, or a third party acting on your behalf.

We may refuse or postpone a job if, in our reasonable opinion, the working environment is hazardous, the requested work is unsuitable for the condition of the materials, or the task falls outside our normal service scope. In such circumstances, any amount already paid for work not carried out will be dealt with in accordance with the payment and cancellation provisions below.

Payment terms will be confirmed at the time of booking or in the quotation. Unless otherwise agreed, payment is due on completion of the service, and we may request full or partial payment in advance for larger jobs, repeat commercial visits, or specialist treatments. We accept payment by the methods notified during booking, and all prices are stated in pounds sterling unless otherwise specified.

Any deposit or prepayment may be required to secure a booking. Where a deposit is taken, it may be non-refundable if you cancel late or fail to provide access. However, deposits will normally be applied against the final invoice where the service proceeds as planned. In some cases, we may issue an invoice for payment within a stated period after completion, particularly for business customers.

Late payment may result in suspension of further services, reminders, administrative charges where permitted by law, and recovery action for unpaid sums. If a payment is made by card or bank transfer and later reversed without proper cause, you remain responsible for the outstanding amount and any associated costs reasonably incurred in seeking payment.

All prices are based on the service requested, the condition and size of the items or areas being cleaned, and any specific requirements identified before the appointment. If additional work is requested during the visit, we may quote a supplementary charge before carrying it out. No extra work will be undertaken without your agreement unless it is necessary to protect property, prevent damage, or respond to an urgent issue.

Where a discount, promotion, or package price is offered, it will apply only in accordance with the stated conditions. Promotions cannot be exchanged for cash and may be withdrawn or amended at any time before booking confirmation. Any special price will not usually apply where there is a material change to the original scope of work.

If you dispute an invoice, you should raise the issue promptly and provide sufficient detail to allow us to review the matter. You must still pay any undisputed part of the invoice by the due date. We will act reasonably in considering genuine concerns about pricing, but the provision of service in line with the booking confirmation will generally support the agreed charge.

Cancellations and rescheduling should be made as early as possible. If you need to cancel or change the appointment, please notify us immediately so that we can release the time slot. The amount we may charge depends on the notice given, the type of service booked, and any costs already incurred, such as materials purchased or staff allocated.

Unless otherwise stated in your booking confirmation, cancellations made with sufficient notice will usually not incur a charge, while late cancellations may result in a fee. If we have already attended the property or travelled to the location, we may charge for wasted time and expenses. Where a deposit has been paid, it may be retained in full or in part to cover the cancellation loss, if lawful and reasonable.

We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a booking if circumstances outside our control make it impossible or impractical to deliver the service at the planned time. This may include adverse weather, vehicle breakdown, staff illness, equipment failure, or emergency situations. If we cancel for these reasons, we will offer an alternative appointment or refund any advance payment for the affected service where appropriate.

We use reasonable skill and care in delivering every Kingston Upon Thames carpet cleaning appointment. However, cleaning results may vary depending on the age, wear, fabric type, staining, prior treatment, and condition of the item or surface. Some marks, odours, or discolouration may not be removable without risk of damage, and no guarantee can be given that every stain will disappear completely.

Before carrying out work, we may test certain materials or methods where appropriate, but you acknowledge that some fabrics, dyes, adhesives, and floor coverings are inherently sensitive. We are not liable for pre-existing defects, hidden damage, weak seams, colour loss caused by prior wear, or deterioration that occurs because of the age or condition of the item. Where a material is particularly delicate, we may decline treatment or proceed only with your informed consent.

Our liability for direct loss or damage caused by our negligence is limited to the reasonable cost of repair or replacement, or the price paid for the specific service, whichever is lower, except where a different limit is required by law. 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 legally be excluded.

You are responsible for removing fragile, valuable, or sentimental items from the treatment area before work begins. Although our team will act carefully, we cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to items left in vulnerable positions unless the damage is directly caused by our negligence. You should also tell us about underfloor heating, loose fittings, concealed wiring, or other site conditions that could affect cleaning.

Where we move furniture as part of the service, we do so on the understanding that the items are reasonably movable and suitable for handling. We may refuse to move heavy, built-in, unstable, or unsafe items. We are not liable for scratches, dents, or marks caused by moving items that were already poorly assembled, unstable, or structurally unsound, unless our team acted negligently.

If any loss or damage occurs, you must notify us as soon as reasonably possible and allow us a fair opportunity to inspect the issue. We may offer a repair, re-clean, partial refund, or other reasonable remedy depending on the circumstances. Any claim should be supported by clear information and must not be inflated, speculative, or based on indirect losses.

We may use cleaning solutions, water extraction systems, stain treatments, and other materials appropriate to the job. These products will be selected with reasonable care, but you must inform us of any allergies, sensitivities, or special environmental concerns before the service begins. We do not guarantee that all products are fully suitable for every fabric or surface unless expressly stated.

Waste generated during the service, including removed debris, soiled water, disposable cloths, packaging, and other residues, will be handled in line with applicable UK waste regulations. We will dispose of waste responsibly and will not unlawfully discharge contaminated water or materials. You agree to provide suitable facilities or instructions where waste must be removed from site, and you must not request any disposal method that would breach environmental law or local rules.

Where waste transfer notes, carrier arrangements, or special disposal procedures are required, we may ask you to cooperate and provide information necessary to comply with our obligations. If the property includes hazardous substances, unusual contamination, or material that may require specialist handling, you must disclose this before booking. We may refuse work that would expose us to unsafe or non-compliant disposal obligations.

Any personal data collected in connection with your booking will be used only for arranging, providing, and administering the service, in accordance with applicable data protection law. We will keep customer information secure and will not use it for unrelated purposes without a lawful basis. Further processing may be necessary for invoicing, dispute handling, or legal compliance.

We may subcontract part of the service to suitably qualified personnel where needed to complete the work efficiently. If so, the subcontracted work remains subject to these Terms and Conditions. We remain responsible for arranging the service, but we are not liable for delays or failures caused by information not disclosed in advance or by instructions given directly to third parties outside our control.

These terms may be updated from time to time to reflect legal, operational, or service changes. The version in force at the time of booking will normally apply to that booking unless we agree otherwise in writing. If any provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms will continue in full effect.

Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer under UK law. If you are booking as a business customer, you confirm that you have authority to enter into the contract and that you will provide accurate information about the premises and service requirements. Business customers may be subject to different invoicing or credit arrangements where agreed in writing.

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms, the booking, or the service should first be raised with us so that we can attempt to resolve the matter promptly and fairly. If a resolution cannot be reached, the parties may seek any remedy available under applicable law. We encourage good-faith communication before formal proceedings are started.

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any dispute or claim shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. By using our carpet cleaner Kingston Upon Thames services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted these terms in full.
