Terms and Conditions for Carpet Cleaners E3

These Terms and Conditions govern the provision of carpet cleaning services by Carpet Cleaners E3 to residential and commercial customers in the United Kingdom. By making a booking, you agree to be bound by these terms, which are designed to set out the process for arranging an appointment, the basis of payment, the rules for cancellations, our responsibilities and limitations of liability, and the requirements that apply to waste handling and disposal. These terms should be read carefully before confirming any service.

In these Terms and Conditions, references to “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Carpet Cleaners E3, and references to “you” mean the customer or person requesting the service. The wording in this document applies to all forms of carpet cleaning, including standard domestic cleaning, deep cleaning, stain treatment, and related upholstery or floor care services where specifically agreed. Any variation to these terms must be confirmed by us in writing.

Booking Process

Bookings may be made by telephone, email, or any other method we make available from time to time. When you request a booking, you must provide accurate and complete information about the property, access arrangements, the surfaces to be cleaned, and any known issues that may affect the service. This includes, where relevant, the approximate room sizes, fabric type, existing damage, previous treatment, and any special cleaning concerns. We may rely on the information you provide when preparing a quote or scheduling the visit.

A booking is only confirmed once we have accepted your request and, where required, received any deposit or advance payment. Until confirmation is issued, any proposed date or time remains subject to availability. We may refuse or cancel a booking if the information supplied is incomplete, misleading, or suggests that the service cannot be safely or effectively delivered. If the property is unsuitable for the requested carpet cleaning service, we may offer an alternative solution or decline the work.

It is your responsibility to ensure that someone authorised to grant access is present at the property at the agreed time, unless we have specifically agreed otherwise. You must also ensure that the area to be cleaned is ready for service, which may include moving small personal items, securing pets, and making sure that parking, water, and electricity are available where needed. Delays caused by lack of access or unsuitable conditions may result in additional charges or the cancellation of the appointment.

Changes to the Booking

Where you need to amend the date, time, or scope of the service, you should notify us as soon as possible. We will do our best to accommodate reasonable changes, but we cannot guarantee availability. If the work requested changes significantly after booking, including an increase in the number of rooms, heavier soiling, or extra stain treatment, the price may be adjusted accordingly. Any revised quotation will depend on the actual condition and size of the area to be cleaned.

Payments are due in accordance with the price agreed at the time of booking or as updated in writing before the service begins. We may require a deposit for certain appointments, larger jobs, or repeat rescheduling. Unless otherwise agreed, payment must be made on completion of the service, by the methods specified by us. Where payment is accepted by bank transfer, card, cash, or another approved method, it must be made in full without set-off, deduction, or withholding.

Quoted prices are generally based on the information you provide and assume normal working conditions. If, on arrival, the technician finds that the actual job differs from the description given, or that extra work is needed due to hidden stains, excessive dirt, odour treatment, specialist fibres, or restricted access, we may revise the price before starting additional work. If you decline the revised price, we may proceed only with the originally agreed work or may cancel the appointment, depending on the circumstances.

Any promotional prices, discounts, or package offers apply only for the terms stated at the time of issue. They may be withdrawn or amended without notice, except in relation to bookings already confirmed. You are responsible for ensuring that your payment method is available and valid at the time payment is due. If a payment is declined, reversed, or otherwise not received, we may charge reasonable recovery costs where permitted by law.

Cancellations and Rescheduling

You may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving us reasonable notice. If you cancel within a short period before the appointment, particularly where time has been reserved exclusively for your carpet cleaners visit, we may charge a cancellation fee to cover our losses and administration costs. The amount charged may vary depending on how much notice is given, whether equipment has already been prepared, and whether a technician has already travelled to the property.

If you are absent from the property, fail to provide access, or do not have the necessary arrangements in place so that we cannot carry out the service, this may be treated as a late cancellation or missed appointment. In such cases, a charge may still apply. We will always act reasonably, but repeated short-notice cancellations or failure to comply with agreed arrangements may result in us declining future bookings.

We may need to reschedule or cancel a booking in exceptional circumstances, including illness, severe weather, vehicle breakdown, staff availability issues, safety concerns, or other events beyond our reasonable control. If we do so, we will seek to offer an alternative appointment. Where we must cancel and cannot provide a replacement date, any payment received in advance for the cancelled portion of the service will normally be refunded. This does not affect any rights you may have under law.

We will use reasonable care and skill when providing carpet cleaning services, and our technicians will aim to work professionally and responsibly at all times. However, many carpets, rugs, and upholstery items are made from delicate, aged, or previously damaged materials, and results may vary depending on fabric composition, wear, staining, and prior treatment. We do not guarantee the complete removal of every stain, odour, or mark, especially where the problem is permanent, embedded, or caused by pre-existing damage.

While we take reasonable steps to protect property, you remain responsible for removing fragile items, documents, cash, jewellery, and other valuables from the work area before the appointment starts. We are not liable for loss or damage caused by items left in the cleaning area where such loss or damage could reasonably have been avoided. If we are asked to move furniture or other objects, we will only do so where safe and appropriate, and we may decline to move items that are heavy, unstable, valuable, or likely to be damaged.

Limitations of Liability

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under UK law. Subject to that, we will not be liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of business, or loss of opportunity arising from the service. Our total liability for any claim relating to a particular booking will be limited to the amount paid or payable for that booking, except where the law requires otherwise.

If you believe damage has occurred during the service, you must notify us within a reasonable time and provide details and supporting evidence where possible. This allows us to investigate promptly and, where appropriate, inspect the affected item or area. We may not be responsible for damage resulting from pre-existing defects, wear and tear, unsuitable materials, hidden weakness, or items that were not disclosed before work began. Where liability is accepted, we may choose to repair, replace, or compensate, as appropriate and subject to the law.

Waste Regulations and Disposal Any waste generated during the service must be handled in accordance with applicable UK waste regulations. This includes dirt, used cleaning materials, disposable cloths, and any other waste created as part of the cleaning process. We will dispose of waste responsibly where disposal is part of the service agreed with you, and we may separate recyclable or non-recyclable materials where practicable. You must tell us in advance if there are any special waste concerns, including contaminated materials, sharps, bodily fluids, mould-related waste, or items that may require specialist disposal.

We are not obliged to remove hazardous waste unless this has been expressly agreed and can be done lawfully and safely. If hazardous, restricted, or regulated waste is discovered during the service, we may suspend work, seek further instructions, or refer the matter for specialist handling. You are responsible for ensuring that any waste you ask us to remove is lawfully presented for collection and does not breach applicable environmental, health, safety, or duty-of-care requirements. If additional disposal charges apply, we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible.

Customer Responsibilities

You must take reasonable steps to prepare the area before the appointment. This includes clearing small loose objects, providing working access, and informing us of any hazards, such as weak flooring, electrical risks, leaks, pest issues, or contamination. You should also disclose any known allergies, sensitivities, or special requirements that may affect the cleaning products or methods used. Where particular products are requested, we will consider them, but we cannot guarantee the outcome if a customer insists on a method that is unsuitable for the material.

Where children, pets, or vulnerable persons are present, you remain responsible for their supervision during the service. Our technicians may need to move equipment through the property and may use hoses, cables, water, and cleaning solutions. You should keep the work area clear and avoid re-entering freshly cleaned areas until they are dry or until you are told it is safe to do so. Any failure to follow our instructions may increase the risk of staining, tracking, or accident and may affect liability.

Service Standards and Complaints

We aim to provide a professional carpet cleaners service with reasonable care and skill and in line with the information available at the time of booking. If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of the service, you should tell us promptly so that we can assess the issue and, where appropriate, offer a remedy. Any complaint should be made within a reasonable time after completion of the service and should include relevant details and photographs if available. This helps us to consider the matter fairly and efficiently.

Where a complaint is justified, our preferred approach may include re-cleaning the affected area, applying a suitable treatment, or offering another reasonable solution. We will not be responsible for complaints arising from factors outside our control, including poor ventilation, accelerated drying due to weather, customer interference, pre-existing staining, or the nature of the fabric itself. The existence of a complaint does not entitle you to withhold payment for undisputed work already completed, except where the law allows.

Force Majeure We shall not be in breach of these Terms and Conditions, nor liable for delay or failure to perform, where such delay or failure is caused by events outside our reasonable control. These events may include fire, flood, extreme weather, traffic disruption, labour shortages, accident, illness, power failure, public emergency, or disruption to supply chains. If such circumstances arise, we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable and try to rearrange the booking where possible.

Governing Law These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with 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, unless you are a consumer resident in another part of the United Kingdom and mandatory local consumer law provides otherwise. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights under applicable consumer legislation.
