Terms and Conditions for Carpet Cleaning Putney

These Terms and Conditions apply to all professional carpet cleaning services provided by our team in Putney and to any customer who books, confirms, or receives a service from us. By making a booking for carpet cleaning Putney, the customer agrees to be bound by the terms set out below. These terms are designed to explain how bookings are handled, how payments are taken, what happens if a service is cancelled, and how liability is managed. They also set out important information on waste handling, access, and the legal framework that governs the service.

For the purposes of these terms, the words “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to the service provider, and “you” or “the customer” refers to the person or business requesting the service. These conditions apply to all standard and specialist carpet cleaning services, including steam cleaning, hot water extraction, stain treatment, deodorising, and any related cleaning work agreed before the appointment. They are intended to support a clear and fair working relationship for all parties.

By booking a Putney carpet cleaning service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these terms. If you are booking on behalf of another person, company, landlord, tenant, or managing agent, you confirm that you have authority to do so. If any part of these terms is not acceptable to you, you should not proceed with the booking.

1. Booking Process

Bookings may be made by phone, email, online form, or any other booking method made available by us from time to time. A booking is not confirmed until we have accepted the request, agreed the service details, and provided a date, time window, or appointment slot. We may ask for information about the type, size, and condition of the carpets, the number of rooms or areas to be cleaned, and any special requirements that may affect the service.

It is your responsibility to provide accurate and complete information when arranging carpet cleaning in Putney. If the details supplied are incomplete or incorrect, the final service may differ from the original estimate, and additional charges may apply. This includes, without limitation, information about access, parking, pet presence, staining, previous cleaning treatments, water supply, and any delicate fibres or items that require special care.

1.1 Service Preparation

Before the appointment, you must ensure that the areas to be cleaned are reasonably accessible and ready for service. This may include moving small items, securing pets, and allowing access to electricity and water where required. We may refuse to begin or continue the work if conditions are unsafe, unsanitary, or unsuitable. Where this happens, a call-out charge or cancellation fee may still apply.

Any quotation or estimate given before attendance is based on the information provided at the time. If the actual condition of the carpets differs materially from that description, we reserve the right to revise the price, alter the method used, or decline to complete part of the work. This is especially relevant where there is heavy soiling, contamination, damage, or evidence of prior unsuccessful treatments.

2. Pricing and Payments All prices are stated in pounds sterling unless otherwise agreed. Prices may be quoted as fixed rates, hourly rates, or rates based on area, room count, or specific cleaning requirements. Unless expressly stated in writing, quotations are estimates only and may be adjusted where the actual service differs from the initial description. Any added work requested on the day may be charged separately.

Payment is due in full upon completion of the service unless we have agreed alternative terms in writing before the appointment. We may accept payment by cash, bank transfer, card, or another approved method. Where a deposit or advance payment is required, the booking is only secured once that payment has been received. Failure to pay on time may result in refusal of future services, recovery action, or interest and costs where permitted by law.

For carpet and rug cleaning Putney, if the customer is a business or acting on behalf of a commercial property, VAT or other applicable taxes may be added where required. Any invoice issued must be paid by the deadline stated on the invoice. We reserve the right to suspend services or withhold non-essential documents where payment remains outstanding, subject to applicable legal rights.

2.1 Late Payment

If payment is not made when due, we may charge reasonable administration fees and interest in line with applicable legislation. You will remain responsible for all outstanding balances, including any costs reasonably incurred in recovering the debt. Nothing in these terms limits our right to pursue unpaid amounts through lawful means.

3. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Missed Appointments

You may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving us reasonable notice. Where notice is given sufficiently in advance, no cancellation charge may be applied, although any non-refundable deposit may be retained if this was made clear at the time of booking. If cancellation is made at short notice, or if our team is already en route or on site, we may charge a cancellation fee to cover lost time, travel, and administration.

If access is not available at the agreed time, if the property is empty without prior arrangement, or if there is no suitable person to authorise the work, the appointment may be treated as a late cancellation or missed appointment. In such cases, the full or partial service charge may still be payable. We are not responsible for delays caused by the customer, tenants, residents, building management, or any third party controlling access.

We may reschedule a service due to circumstances beyond our control, including adverse weather, equipment failure, staff illness, safety concerns, or emergency works. Where we do this, we will aim to offer an alternative appointment within a reasonable time. Our liability for unavoidable delay is limited to the amount paid for the affected service, except where law provides otherwise.

4. Liability and Limitations

We will use reasonable care and skill when carrying out every Putney carpet cleaning service. However, cleaning outcomes can vary depending on fabric type, age, pre-existing damage, previous treatments, and the nature of soiling or staining. We do not guarantee complete removal of all marks, odours, or contamination, especially where stains are permanent, have set over time, or have been previously treated with unsuitable products.

We accept responsibility for direct loss or damage caused by our proven negligence, but our liability is limited to the reasonable cost of repair or replacement, taking into account the age and condition of the affected item. We will not be liable for indirect, special, incidental, or consequential losses, including loss of profit, loss of business, loss of enjoyment, or inconvenience, except where such exclusion is not permitted by law.

4.1 Customer Responsibilities

You must tell us about any known risks before cleaning begins, including weak seams, colour instability, pre-existing wear, water sensitivity, hidden damage, or previous repairs. We are not liable for damage arising from undisclosed conditions, unsuitable materials, or the customer’s decision to proceed against our advice. Where a carpet is extremely fragile, heavily worn, or already compromised, we may refuse treatment or ask for written confirmation before continuing.

It is also your responsibility to safeguard items of value, remove fragile ornaments where appropriate, and ensure that the work area is clear. We are not liable for pre-existing damage to furniture, flooring, walls, or fittings, nor for damage caused by items left too close to the work area. If furniture moving is included in the service, it will be carried out only where it is reasonably safe to do so.

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 English law. Your statutory rights as a consumer remain unaffected.

5. Waste Regulations and Environmental Handling

We operate in accordance with applicable UK waste and environmental rules. During the course of cleaning, residues such as soil, extracted water, used cleaning agents, spent filters, packaging, and minor waste materials may be collected, contained, and disposed of in a responsible manner. We will not knowingly discharge waste in a way that breaches environmental or drainage regulations.

Where waste must be removed from the property, it will be handled as appropriate for the material type and in line with lawful disposal requirements. The customer must disclose any hazardous, biological, or contaminated substance before work begins. We do not accept responsibility for unidentified hazardous waste, and we may stop work immediately if we discover materials that may pose a health, safety, or regulatory risk.

If the service involves contaminated carpets, excessive flood residue, pet waste, or other problematic material, additional precautions may be needed and extra charges may apply. We may refuse to process or remove certain substances where specialist disposal is required. The customer remains responsible for ensuring that any dangerous waste is declared honestly and handled in compliance with applicable law.

6. Access, Property Condition, and Service Standards

To deliver an efficient carpet cleaning service in Putney, we require safe access to the areas agreed for treatment. If access restrictions, parking limitations, security systems, or building rules prevent the service from being completed within the planned time, we may need to adjust the appointment, charge additional time, or reschedule. Delays caused by access issues are outside our control.

We will use professional equipment and suitable products selected according to the condition of the carpet and the cleaning method agreed. Where a carpet requires special treatment, we may decide that a test patch, reduced-moisture method, or alternative process is necessary. You agree that our team may decline to use any product or method that, in our reasonable opinion, could create an unreasonable risk of damage.

Drying times are estimates only and may be affected by ventilation, carpet composition, humidity, temperature, and the level of soiling. We are not liable for delays in drying where these are caused by environmental conditions or insufficient ventilation. Customers should avoid walking on the carpet until it is reasonably dry and should follow any care advice given at the end of the appointment.

7. Complaints and Rectification

If you are not satisfied with any part of the service, you must notify us within a reasonable period after completion and provide a clear description of the issue. Where appropriate, we may offer a re-attendance, re-clean, or other reasonable remedy. We will not consider complaints relating to areas altered by the customer or a third party after the service has been completed.

Any remedy offered will be determined in good faith and in proportion to the nature of the issue. Our aim is to resolve legitimate concerns fairly while recognising that cleaning results depend on material condition and prior use. This process does not affect your statutory consumer rights where they apply.

8. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These terms and any dispute or claim arising from them shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except where applicable consumer law allows otherwise. If any provision of these terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, the remainder will continue in full force.

These terms form the entire agreement between the customer and us in relation to the service, unless modified in writing and agreed by both parties. No waiver of any term shall be effective unless expressly stated. By proceeding with a booking for carpet cleaning Putney, you confirm that you understand the scope and limits of the service and agree to comply with these conditions.
