Terms and Conditions for Carpet Cleaning E1

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Carpetcleaning E1 provides professional carpet cleaning and related stain treatment services to domestic and commercial customers in the UK. By making a booking, confirming an appointment, or allowing our operatives to begin work, you agree to be bound by these terms. Please read them carefully before placing an order for any carpet cleaning service, upholstery treatment, or associated cleaning work.

In these Terms, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean Carpetcleaning E1, and references to “you” and “your” mean the customer receiving the service. These terms apply to all bookings, whether arranged online, by telephone, by email, or through any other booking method we may offer from time to time. If any special agreement has been made in writing, that agreement will apply only to the extent that it does not conflict with these Terms.

We may update these Terms occasionally to reflect changes in law, operational requirements, or the way our services are delivered. The version in force at the time of booking will usually apply to that booking unless a later variation has been agreed in writing by both parties. Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights under UK consumer law.

1. Booking process
All carpet cleaning bookings are subject to availability and confirmation by us. A booking request does not become a binding appointment until it has been accepted by us and, where required, any deposit or prepayment has been received. We may ask for details such as the number of rooms, carpet type, level of soiling, access arrangements, parking limitations, or whether any specialist treatment is needed. This information helps us provide an accurate quote and select the appropriate equipment and cleaning methods.

It is your responsibility to ensure that the information you provide is complete and accurate. If the actual conditions differ from those described at the time of booking, we may need to revise the price, adjust the scope of work, or reschedule the service. Examples include additional rooms, heavy staining, pet contamination, delicate fibres requiring special treatment, or restricted access that makes the booked time insufficient. Any changes will be discussed with you before work proceeds where reasonably possible.

2. Service preparation and access
You must ensure that we have safe and reasonable access to the property, the relevant rooms, water, electricity, and any areas needed to carry out the service. Unless agreed otherwise, you are responsible for moving small or fragile items, securing valuables, and making sure the floor area is available for cleaning. Where furniture relocation is requested, we may refuse to move heavy, unsafe, or assembled items that could be damaged or cause injury. We are entitled to pause or postpone work if access, safety, or conditions are unsuitable.

3. Prices, quotations, and additional charges
Prices quoted for Carpetcleaning E1 services are based on the information supplied at the time of booking and may be subject to confirmation once the job is inspected on site. Unless expressly stated, quotations are valid for a limited period and may be withdrawn if the service date is not confirmed within that period. We reserve the right to charge additional amounts where the work required exceeds the original estimate because of factors not reasonably visible or disclosed before arrival.

Additional charges may arise for urgent bookings, out-of-hours attendance, parking fees, congestion-related costs, difficult access, extra stain treatment, deodorising, specialist fibre care, or the cleaning of areas not initially included. Any such charge will be communicated before it is incurred whenever practical. If you choose not to proceed after we have arrived and the work cannot be performed due to circumstances within your control, a call-out fee or cancellation fee may still apply.

4. Payment terms
Payment for the service is due in accordance with the arrangement confirmed at booking. In most cases, payment must be made immediately after completion, unless we agree different terms in advance. We may accept bank transfer, card payment, or other methods we make available from time to time. If a deposit is required, the booking may not be secured until the deposit has been received and cleared. Deposits may be non-refundable where stated at the time of booking, subject to consumer law.

All sums must be paid in full without deduction or set-off unless required by law. If payment is not received on completion, we may charge interest on overdue amounts at the statutory rate permitted under UK law, together with reasonable costs of recovery. Where a business customer engages us, the Late Payment of Commercial Debts legislation may apply. We reserve the right to suspend or refuse further services where any amount remains outstanding.

5. Cancellations and rescheduling
You may cancel or reschedule your carpet cleaning appointment by giving us reasonable notice. If you cancel well in advance, no fee may be charged, but late cancellations, missed appointments, or refusals of access may result in a charge reflecting our wasted time, allocated labour, and travel costs. The exact amount will depend on the notice given and the preparation already undertaken. Where a deposit has been paid, we may retain all or part of it to cover costs, unless a refund is required by law.

If we need to cancel or reschedule because of illness, safety concerns, severe weather, equipment failure, or other circumstances beyond our control, we will seek to offer an alternative appointment as soon as reasonably practicable. We will not be liable for any indirect loss arising from a cancellation or rescheduling where the issue is outside our reasonable control. For consumer bookings, any cancellation rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations may apply only where legally available and only in accordance with the statutory conditions.

6. Performance of the service
We will use reasonable skill and care in carrying out the carpet cleaning service. However, results can vary depending on carpet construction, age, prior wear, previous cleaning history, stain type, and the presence of pre-existing damage. We do not guarantee full removal of all stains, odours, or marks, particularly where the contamination has set deeply into the fibres or backing. Likewise, some carpets may experience natural shading, pile movement, or minor changes in texture following cleaning.

Where we provide stain removal or protection treatments, we will do so using methods we consider suitable for the material and the contamination described. Even when the same method is effective in many cases, there is no absolute guarantee of outcome. You acknowledge that certain stains, including dye transfer, bleach marks, ink, paint, rust, permanent pet damage, and worn traffic areas, may be permanent or may reappear after drying. We may refuse to attempt a treatment that we reasonably believe could damage the carpet.

7. Liability and limitations
We accept liability for loss or damage caused by our negligence, breach of contract, or failure to use reasonable care and skill, subject to these Terms and any rights you have under law. If property damage occurs and is attributable to our fault, our liability will be limited to the reasonable cost of repair or replacement, taking into account wear, depreciation, and the original condition of the item. We are not responsible for pre-existing damage, hidden defects, weak seams, poorly fixed fittings, or deterioration caused by age.

We will not be liable for indirect, consequential, or economic loss, including loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, or disappointment, except where such exclusion is not permitted 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 lawfully be excluded. If you believe damage has occurred, you must notify us as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, before the carpet is put back into regular use where possible.

To help us investigate any claim, you should retain any relevant evidence, including photos, notes about the issue, and details of the affected area. We may ask to inspect the carpet or obtain further information before accepting liability. Any remedy we provide may include a re-clean, repair, partial refund, or other reasonable solution, depending on the circumstances. Our decision to offer a goodwill remedy does not mean we accept liability beyond what the law requires.

8. Customer responsibilities
You must disclose any known risks before the service begins, including fragile fibres, loose dye, pre-existing water damage, underfloor heating, recent repairs, or any condition that could affect the safety or outcome of the work. If you fail to provide relevant information, and this leads to damage or additional work, we may not be responsible for the resulting loss. You are also responsible for ensuring that pets, children, and unauthorised persons are kept away from the work area while cleaning is in progress.

9. Waste handling and regulations
We aim to carry out all services in a lawful and environmentally responsible manner. Waste generated during carpet cleaning may include dirty water, disposable cloths, used absorbents, packaging, and debris removed from carpets. We will handle waste in accordance with applicable UK waste regulations and reasonable environmental practices. Where waste requires disposal by us, we will choose an appropriate method and may charge for lawful disposal if this has been agreed or is necessary due to the nature of the job.

You must not ask us to dispose of materials that are prohibited, hazardous, or not reasonably connected with the carpet cleaning service unless we have expressly agreed in writing and are legally able to do so. This includes items that may require specialist handling, such as chemicals, sharps, asbestos-related material, biohazard waste, or contaminated goods. If we discover prohibited waste on site, we may stop work immediately and charge for time spent attending the premises.

Where wastewater must be discharged, we will do so only in a way that is consistent with applicable legal and environmental obligations. You should inform us of any site-specific requirements, such as managed buildings, restricted drainage systems, or environmental rules that apply to the property. Any instructions that would require us to act unlawfully or unsafely will not be followed. We may also refuse to use methods that we reasonably believe could breach environmental or waste-handling requirements.

10. Complaints and remedy
If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of the carpet cleaning service, you should let us know promptly so that we have a fair opportunity to assess and, where appropriate, remedy the issue. Delays in reporting a concern may make it harder to determine the cause or extent of any problem. We will review complaints in good faith and may request supporting information such as photographs, the date of the service, and a description of the concern.

Where a complaint is justified, our preferred approach is to offer a proportionate remedy. This may include re-attendance, localised treatment, a partial refund, or another solution that is reasonable in the circumstances. Nothing in this section limits your statutory remedies where they apply. However, we are not obliged to provide a remedy where the issue was caused by misuse, failure to follow post-cleaning care advice, third-party interference, or circumstances outside our control.

11. Insurance, force majeure, and general provisions
We maintain appropriate insurance cover for the services we provide, subject to policy terms, exclusions, and limits. We are not responsible for failure to perform or delay in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including extreme weather, transport disruption, strikes, supply shortages, public emergencies, or utility failures. If a force majeure event affects the booking, we will try to rearrange the appointment or otherwise agree a practical solution.

12. Governing law and jurisdiction
These Terms and any dispute or claim arising from them, or from the carpet cleaning services we provide, are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you are a consumer, you may benefit from mandatory rights under the laws of your own UK jurisdiction where applicable. Any dispute that cannot be resolved amicably will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless another court has mandatory jurisdiction under applicable consumer legislation.

If any part of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that part will be deemed severed and the remainder will continue in full force and effect. No failure or delay by us in exercising any right under these Terms shall operate as a waiver of that right. Any waiver must be confirmed in writing. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us in relation to the services, except where superseded by written variations or mandatory legal requirements.

13. Final agreement
By confirming a booking with Carpetcleaning E1, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and Conditions. You also confirm that the service details provided are accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you are authorised to instruct the work at the property. If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not proceed with the booking or allow the service to begin.
