2. Scope of Services
2.1 The Company provides professional carpet and related cleaning services in Colliers Wood and neighbouring areas. The specific scope of work for each booking will be agreed at the time of booking and confirmed in writing where applicable.
2.2 The Company reserves the right to refuse or discontinue services where the Premises or items to be cleaned are considered unsafe, inaccessible, or where conditions may pose a risk to health and safety or to the equipment of the Company.
2.3 Any descriptions or illustrations of services are for guidance only. The Company will use reasonable skill and care but does not guarantee specific results, especially where items are heavily soiled, stained, worn, or damaged.
3. Booking Process
3.1 Bookings may be made by the Client through the communication methods made available by the Company from time to time. A booking is only confirmed when the Company has accepted the request and provided a booking confirmation.
3.2 The Client must provide accurate information regarding the Premises, access, parking, type and size of items to be cleaned, level of soiling, and any special requirements. The Company relies on this information when providing quotations and scheduling appointments.
3.3 Quotations are based on the information supplied by the Client and are subject to amendment if, upon arrival, the Technician finds that the information provided was incomplete or inaccurate, or that the work required is materially different in size or condition from that described.
3.4 The Company may request a deposit or pre-authorisation to secure a booking. Any such requirement will be communicated at the time of booking.
3.5 Bookings are subject to availability. The Company does not guarantee the availability of any particular date or time until a booking has been confirmed.
4. Access, Parking and Client Obligations
4.1 The Client is responsible for providing safe and reasonable access to the Premises at the agreed appointment time, including access to electricity, water, and adequate lighting where required.
4.2 The Client must ensure that adequate parking is available for the Technician's vehicle as close as reasonably possible to the Premises. Where parking charges or permits are required, the Client is responsible for arranging these or for reimbursing the Company for any charges incurred.
4.3 The Client must remove fragile, breakable, or valuable items from areas where services will be carried out. The Company will not be responsible for damage to such items that should reasonably have been removed.
4.4 The Client must inform the Company in advance of any known issues affecting the Premises or items to be cleaned, including pre-existing damage, unstable flooring, colour instability, prior cleaning treatments, or the presence of pets that may affect the service.
5. Pricing, Quotations and Payment
5.1 All prices are stated in pounds sterling (GBP) and are inclusive of applicable taxes unless otherwise stated.
5.2 Quotations are provided based on the information supplied and on the assumption of normal levels of soiling and reasonable access. The Company reserves the right to adjust the price if the actual work differs materially from the description provided by the Client.
5.3 The Company may, at its discretion, apply minimum call-out charges or minimum job values, which will be communicated at or before the time of booking.
5.4 Payment is due immediately upon completion of the services unless otherwise agreed in writing. The Company may require payment in full or in part prior to the service, particularly for larger bookings or commercial Clients.
5.5 The Company accepts payment methods as specified at the time of booking. The Client is responsible for ensuring that funds are available and that payment can be completed on the agreed date.
5.6 If payment is not received on the due date, the Company reserves the right to charge reasonable interest and administrative fees on overdue amounts, as permitted by applicable law, until payment is received in full.
6. Cancellations, Rescheduling and No-Show Policy
6.1 The Client may cancel or reschedule a booking by providing the minimum notice required by the Company. Unless stated otherwise at the time of booking, the minimum notice period is 24 hours before the scheduled appointment time.
6.2 If the Client cancels or reschedules a booking with less than the required notice, the Company may charge a late cancellation fee, which will normally be a reasonable proportion of the quoted price to cover costs incurred and loss of opportunity.
6.3 If the Technician attends the Premises at the agreed time and is unable to gain access, or if the Client is not present where required to provide access or instructions, this may be treated as a late cancellation or no-show, and a fee may be charged.
6.4 The Company reserves the right to cancel or reschedule a booking in the event of circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to severe weather, traffic disruption, illness, equipment failure, or safety concerns at the Premises. In such cases, the Company will offer the Client an alternative appointment as soon as reasonably practicable.
7. Condition of Items, Results and Limitations
7.1 The Company will use reasonable skill and care and appropriate cleaning methods based on the information available and the professional judgement of the Technician.
7.2 The Client acknowledges that cleaning results may be limited by the age, condition, type of fibres, construction, prior cleaning history, staining, fading, wear, or damage of the items to be cleaned. The Company does not provide guarantees that all stains, marks, or odours will be removed.
7.3 Pre-existing damage, loosened seams, shrinkage risk, colour bleeding, delamination, and other textile or material issues may be revealed or exacerbated by cleaning. The Company will take reasonable precautions, but it cannot be held liable for issues arising from inherent defects, prior damage, or inappropriate previous treatments.
7.4 Drying times after cleaning depend on ventilation, temperature, humidity, and the type of material. Any drying time estimates provided are approximate only and not guaranteed.

8.1 The Company and its Technicians will comply with relevant health and safety obligations while carrying out the services.
8.2 The Client agrees to ensure that children and pets are kept away from areas where cleaning is being performed and from any equipment, chemicals, or tools used during the service.
8.3 The Company reserves the right to withdraw services if Technicians are subjected to abusive, threatening, or inappropriate behaviour, or if conditions at the Premises are unsafe. In such circumstances, the Company may treat the visit as a late cancellation and apply a fee.
9. Waste Handling and Environmental Regulations
9.1 The Company will endeavour to comply with applicable waste, environmental, and disposal regulations relevant to its operations.
9.2 Any waste generated by the Company during the provision of services, such as used cleaning solutions or extracted residues, will be handled in accordance with legal and environmental requirements.

9.4 If the service involves the handling of hazardous substances present at the Premises that were not disclosed in advance, the Company may suspend or terminate the service. Any additional costs or regulatory requirements arising from the presence of such substances may be charged to the Client where lawful and reasonable.

c. Shrinkage, colour loss, dye migration, or texture changes where the risk was inherent or could not reasonably have been detected during a standard pre-inspection.
d. Failure by the Client to follow aftercare advice, including recommended drying times and restrictions on use immediately after cleaning.
10.5 Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall exclude or limit any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
11. Complaints and Service Issues
11.1 If the Client is dissatisfied with any aspect of the services, the Client should notify the Company as soon as possible and, in any event, within 48 hours of completion of the work, so that the Company has a reasonable opportunity to inspect and, where appropriate, rectify any issues.

12.1 The Company will collect and process personal data about Clients for the purposes of managing bookings, providing services, handling payments, and addressing enquiries and complaints.
