Terms and Conditions for Carpetcleaning KT2
These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Carpetcleaning KT2 provides domestic and commercial carpet and fabric cleaning services in the UK. By making a booking, confirming an appointment, or allowing work to begin, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms. They are designed to create a clear and fair agreement covering the booking process, payments, cancellations, liability, waste handling, and the legal framework that applies to the service.
In these terms, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the service provider operating under the Carpet Cleaning KT2 name, and references to “you” and “your” mean the customer placing the order. These terms apply to all standard carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, stain treatment, stain removal attempts, deodorising, sanitising, and related cleaning services unless a separate written agreement states otherwise.
We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in law, operational practice, or service provision. The version in force at the time of booking will normally apply to your appointment unless a later written version has been expressly agreed. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Booking process begins when you provide a request for an estimate or appointment and we confirm availability. Any quotation, whether verbal or written, is based on the information you provide and may be adjusted if the property condition, size, access, soil level, fabric type, or treatment required is materially different from the description given. A booking is only considered confirmed once we have accepted it and, where applicable, received any requested deposit or prepayment.
When arranging carpet cleaning services, you must provide accurate information about the number of rooms, carpet type, access restrictions, parking limitations, water supply, power availability, known stains, and any prior treatments or damage. This information allows us to bring the right equipment and cleaning products. If incorrect or incomplete information causes extra time, extra labour, or additional materials, we may charge a reasonable supplement.
We reserve the right to decline or reschedule a booking if the property is unsuitable, unsafe, or likely to require specialist treatment beyond the scope of our standard carpet cleaning service. This may include excessive infestation, severe flooding damage, structural hazards, or contamination requiring specialist remediation. If we identify such issues on arrival, we may suspend work and discuss options with you before proceeding.
Access and preparation are the customer’s responsibility. Before our arrival, you should move fragile items, personal valuables, loose objects, and any breakable decoration from the working area unless we have agreed in writing to assist. We may ask that carpets, rugs, or furniture be cleared to allow safe and effective cleaning. If areas are not ready on arrival, the appointment may still be charged, and waiting time may be billed where reasonable.
You must ensure that an adult is available to authorise access, confirm the scope of work, and make payment if required. If you are absent and have authorised us to enter the premises, you accept responsibility for the work carried out and for any decisions made in good faith based on the information available at the time. We will use reasonable care, but we are entitled to rely on your instructions.
Payments must be made in accordance with the quote or invoice issued for the service. Unless otherwise agreed, payment is due on completion of the work on the same day. We may accept bank transfer, debit card, credit card, cash, or other agreed methods, but the available options may vary by appointment. Any deposit requested at the time of booking is normally non-refundable except where we cancel the appointment or where refund rights apply under law.
All prices are stated in pounds sterling and may be subject to VAT where applicable. Quotations are normally based on standard conditions and do not include unexpected specialist treatments, stain restoration, upholstery dismantling, or work outside the original brief. If additional charges arise, we will explain them before carrying out the extra work wherever reasonably possible. By agreeing to continue, you accept responsibility for those extra charges.
Late payment may result in administration charges, reasonable recovery costs, and suspension of future bookings. If an invoice remains unpaid after repeated requests, we may refer the debt to a third party for collection, and you may be liable for lawful recovery expenses. Nothing in these terms limits any statutory rights you may have under consumer law.
For larger jobs or commercial carpet cleaning projects, we may issue staged payment terms, written estimates, or a purchase order requirement. Where a business customer engages our services, payment terms may differ from those used for domestic clients, and any agreed credit period must be honoured strictly. We may withdraw credit facilities at any time if payment behaviour or account history gives reasonable cause for concern.
Cancellations and changes should be made as soon as possible if you need to move or cancel an appointment. If you cancel with sufficient notice, we may offer to rearrange the booking without charge. However, if you cancel at short notice, fail to provide access, or do not make the property available at the agreed time, we may charge a cancellation fee that reflects lost time, travel, and scheduling disruption.
Where a deposit has been paid, we may retain all or part of it if the cancellation is made within a short period before the appointment or if the booking is cancelled after we have allocated resources specifically to your job. The exact treatment of deposits will depend on the circumstances and any consumer rights that apply. If we need to cancel or reschedule, we will aim to give you as much notice as possible and offer a new appointment if practical.
You may request changes to the service scope, date, or time, but we cannot guarantee availability. Significant amendments may require a revised quotation. If the cleaning requirements increase substantially after the booking has been confirmed, we may treat the original booking as incomplete and propose a new price. This helps ensure that Carpetcleaning KT2 terms remain fair and transparent for both parties.
Liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. We will use reasonable care and skill in providing the service, but results can vary depending on the age, fibre type, condition, dye stability, pre-existing wear, and previous treatments of the carpet or fabric. No cleaning method can guarantee complete removal of all stains, odours, or markings, especially where contamination has set in over time or where the material has hidden defects.
Before beginning work, we may carry out a visual inspection and, where appropriate, a small test area. Some carpets, rugs, and fabrics can react unpredictably to water, heat, pH levels, agitation, or cleaning agents. You acknowledge that slight colour change, pile distortion, shrinkage, wick-back, or texture alteration may occur even when reasonable care is taken. These are known risks in professional carpet cleaning services and are not automatically evidence of negligence.
We are not liable for loss or damage arising from pre-existing defects, hidden weak seams, colour instability, manufacturer’s faults, mould that existed before treatment, or failure of items due to normal wear and tear. We are also not responsible for items left in place that impede cleaning, including electrical equipment, unsecured furniture, or decorations that could have been moved beforehand. Any claim must be supported by clear evidence and reported promptly.
If we cause direct loss or damage through proven negligence, our liability will ordinarily be limited to the cost of reasonable repair or replacement of the affected item, taking account of age, condition, and depreciation. We will not be liable for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of business, missed bookings, inconvenience, loss of profit, or emotional distress, except where such exclusion is prohibited by law. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
You agree to notify us as soon as reasonably possible if you believe damage has occurred. You must allow us a reasonable opportunity to inspect the issue before any repair, replacement, or third-party work is undertaken. If you arrange independent work without giving us that opportunity, this may affect any claim. We may ask for photographs, invoices, and other evidence to help assess the matter.
Waste regulations apply to the materials and residues generated during cleaning. We will dispose of waste, wastewater, used towels, recovered debris, and spent consumables in accordance with applicable UK environmental and waste disposal requirements. We will not knowingly dispose of waste unlawfully, into drains where prohibited, or in a manner that risks contamination. Our operational methods are intended to support responsible and compliant waste handling.
Where cleaning produces residue that must be removed from the property, we may use appropriate containment methods and take steps to prevent spillages. You must inform us of any special disposal requirements, protected premises rules, or site-specific restrictions before the appointment. If the premises have a management policy on wastewater, chemical use, or disposal routes, you are responsible for disclosing it in advance.
You must not ask us to carry out a task that would require unlawful disposal of waste, unsafe handling of contaminated materials, or action inconsistent with environmental law. If we believe a request would breach regulation, create a hazard, or exceed our permitted scope, we may refuse that part of the service. We may also suspend work where we reasonably suspect hazardous contamination such as sewage, sharps, asbestos-related debris, or other regulated waste.
Insurance and documentation may be held or maintained to support our operational and legal obligations, but any insurance policy does not create a wider promise than stated in these terms. If you require documentation for tenancy, inventory, or commercial records, you should request it at the time of booking or before completion. We may decline to certify items beyond what we have directly inspected or cleaned.
Any advice we provide about aftercare, drying times, ventilation, or stain treatment is given in good faith and should be followed carefully. If you choose to ignore aftercare instructions, use the carpet before it is dry, or apply domestic products after our service, we are not responsible for any resulting deterioration. Proper aftercare can materially affect the outcome of professional carpet cleaning KT2 appointments.
Force majeure events, including severe weather, accidents, illness, transport disruption, equipment failure, or other events beyond our reasonable control, may delay, alter, or prevent performance. If such an event occurs, we will seek to reschedule or offer an alternative where practical. We will not be liable for delay caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control, provided we act reasonably and communicate with you in a timely manner.
The customer warrants that the premises are safe and that there are no concealed hazards likely to put staff, equipment, or occupants at undue risk. This includes loose wiring, dangerous flooring, exposed nails, chemical residues, aggressive animals, or unstable fixtures. If a hazard is discovered, we may stop work immediately and charge for time already spent if the situation could reasonably have been identified beforehand.
These terms, together with the accepted quotation and any written amendments, form the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the relevant cleaning service. No statement by any employee or representative will override these terms unless confirmed in writing by an authorised person. If we choose not to enforce a right on one occasion, that does not mean the right is waived for the future.
Governing law and jurisdiction: these terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from or in connection with the service, these terms, or any related invoice shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, except where consumer law provides otherwise. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights remain protected and nothing in this document is intended to reduce them.
This agreement is intended to be fair, practical, and consistent with UK service standards for a professional carpet cleaning service. By proceeding with a booking, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these terms and conditions, and that you are authorised to agree to them on behalf of the property owner or occupier where relevant.
