Terms and Conditions for Carpetcleaning Mayfair

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Carpetcleaning Mayfair provides residential and commercial carpet, rug, upholstery and related cleaning services in the United Kingdom. By making a booking, confirming a quote, or allowing our operatives to start work, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms. For the purposes of this document, references to we, us and our mean Carpetcleaning Mayfair, and references to you and your mean the person, company or organisation placing the booking.

These terms are intended to be read alongside any written quotation, service specification or booking confirmation issued by us. If there is any inconsistency between those documents and these terms, the written quotation or booking confirmation will apply only to the extent of the inconsistency. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights where you are a consumer under UK law.

We may amend these terms from time to time. The version in force at the time your booking is accepted will apply to that booking, unless a change is required by law or is clearly beneficial to you. Continued use of our carpet cleaning services after any update will be taken as acceptance of the revised terms.

1. Booking Process

Bookings for carpet cleaning in Mayfair and wider UK service areas may be made by the methods we make available from time to time, including online enquiry, telephone request, email confirmation or through an approved booking form. A booking is not final until we have accepted it. Acceptance may depend on availability, access conditions, parking arrangements, the type and condition of the items to be cleaned, and whether the work requested is suitable for our equipment and cleaning methods.

When you request a booking, you must provide accurate and complete information, including the size and number of rooms or items, the type of fibre or fabric, known stains or damage, any prior treatments, and any special requirements such as water access, lifting restrictions or building rules. If the information provided is incomplete or inaccurate, we may revise the quote, change the service method, or decline the job. Any estimate given before inspection is based on the information you supply and may be adjusted if the actual work differs materially from the description provided.

It is your responsibility to ensure that someone authorised to approve the work is present at the appointment, unless we have agreed otherwise in writing. You must also ensure that the areas to be cleaned are reasonably clear of personal items, fragile objects, and obstacles that could delay or prevent the service. We may refuse to move heavy, dangerous or valuable items, and we are not responsible for arranging specialist lifting unless expressly agreed. If access is restricted or work cannot proceed safely, a call-out or wasted attendance fee may apply where permitted by law.

2. Services, Inspection and Customer Responsibilities

Our carpet cleaning services are designed to remove soiling, odours and common household or commercial contaminants using suitable professional methods. The precise outcome will depend on the age, condition, construction and previous treatment of the carpet or textile. We do not guarantee complete stain removal, restoration of original colour, elimination of all odours, or repair of wear, fading, burn marks, shrinkage, pulled fibres, pre-existing damage or dye transfer. Certain stains may be permanent or may reappear after drying due to residue from earlier spills, underlay contamination or hidden saturation.

Before cleaning begins, we may carry out a visual inspection and, where appropriate, a test patch to assess fibre reaction, colour fastness and the suitability of the chosen process. You agree to disclose any known sensitivities, allergies, fragile materials or prior professional treatments that may affect the service. If you ask us to proceed despite a recommendation against a particular method, you accept the risks associated with that instruction to the extent allowed by law.

Customers must make reasonable efforts to protect items that could be affected by moisture, heat, cleaning agents or movement. This includes removing breakables, securing loose valuables, and informing us of concealed hazards such as exposed wires, weak flooring, leaks, infestation, mould, asbestos suspicion, or any condition that could make the site unsafe. We may suspend or stop work if, in our opinion, continuing would be unsafe or likely to cause damage.

3. Pricing and Payments

All prices are stated in pounds sterling unless otherwise agreed. Prices may be given as fixed fees, per-room rates, item-based charges, or estimates based on time and materials. Any quote is based on the information available at the time and may change if the scope of work changes, if access is difficult, if additional items are added, or if the condition of the carpets or upholstery is materially different from what was described.

Unless we state otherwise, payment is due on completion of the service on the day of attendance. We may require a deposit or advance payment to secure certain appointments, particularly for large, repeated or specialist carpet cleaning work. Deposits are typically applied against the final invoice, unless the booking is cancelled or missed in circumstances where we are entitled to retain part or all of the deposit under these terms.

We accept payment methods that we make available from time to time. You are responsible for ensuring that payment is authorised and available. If payment is late or declined, we may charge reasonable recovery costs and statutory interest where permitted for business-to-business transactions under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts legislation. For consumer transactions, any charges will be limited to those allowed by applicable law. We may withhold delivery of any additional services, reports or follow-up appointments until outstanding sums are paid.

4. Cancellations, Rescheduling and Missed Appointments

You may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving us notice within a reasonable time before the appointment. Unless a shorter period is stated in your booking confirmation, we ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for standard domestic jobs and longer notice for larger or specialist commercial appointments. If you cancel with insufficient notice, fail to provide access, or are not present when required, we may charge a cancellation or wasted attendance fee that reflects our reasonable loss, including labour, travel and allocation costs.

Where a deposit has been taken, we may retain part of it to cover administrative work, scheduling loss and non-recoverable costs if cancellation occurs after we have reserved time for your booking. If we cancel or need to reschedule due to operational reasons, we will offer an alternative appointment or a refund of any prepayment relating to the cancelled service, unless the delay is caused by events outside our reasonable control. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you in advance of any significant change.

Consumers booking services at a distance should note that cancellation rights under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 may not apply where the service has been fully performed, or where you have requested that performance begin within the cancellation period and acknowledge that you may lose the right to cancel once the service is completed. Any statutory right that does apply will be honoured in accordance with the law. These terms do not override mandatory consumer protections.

5. Liability and Limitations

We will carry out our services with reasonable skill and care. If we fail to do so, we may, at our option, re-perform the relevant part of the service, refund the price paid for the affected element, or take reasonable steps to remedy the issue. This is subject to inspection, evidence of loss or damage, and the condition of the item before work began. You must notify us of any alleged problem within a reasonable time after completion and in any event as soon as reasonably possible.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under UK law. Subject to that, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profits, loss of business, loss of goodwill, or any loss arising from pre-existing defects, hidden faults, inappropriate instructions, or the inherent risks of cleaning aged, delicate or unstable materials. Our total liability for any claim arising out of a booking will be limited to the amount paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim, except where a different limit is required by law.

We are not responsible for damage caused by items left in place contrary to our advice, by incorrect information supplied by the customer, by failure of the property’s infrastructure, or by risks that are reasonably foreseeable from the age or condition of the item. Where a service involves specialist treatment, including stain removal or deodorisation, results are inherently variable and no guarantee is given beyond the standard of reasonable care. Any optional protection, treatment or maintenance recommendation is provided for information and does not create a guarantee unless expressly stated in writing.

6. Waste Regulations, Removal and Environmental Compliance

Where our service generates wastewater, extracted residue, disposable cloths, packaging, or other cleaning-related waste, we will handle such waste in accordance with applicable UK environmental and waste management laws. We aim to minimise waste and use appropriate methods for collection, storage, transport and disposal. Waste arising from the cleaning process may include contaminated solution, settled dirt, and used consumables, all of which will be managed responsibly.

You agree that you are responsible for informing us of any substances or materials on the premises that may be hazardous, regulated or require specialist disposal. This includes, without limitation, asbestos, clinical waste, chemical residues, oils, biohazards, pest-related waste, or any material that may trigger special handling obligations. We are not obliged to remove or dispose of waste that is illegal, unsafe, or outside the scope of our standard service unless we have expressly agreed to do so and are lawfully permitted to handle it.

Any items removed from the premises for cleaning, if agreed, remain your property unless otherwise stated. If you ask us to dispose of packaging or minor service waste, you authorise us to do so in accordance with applicable regulations. We may refuse to handle waste or contaminated materials where the nature of the item is unclear or where doing so would place our staff, the public or the environment at risk. In such cases, additional charges, delays or cancellation may result, and we may require you to arrange specialist collection.

7. Insurance, Access and Property Care

We maintain insurance cover that we consider appropriate for the services we provide. However, insurance does not change the limitations of liability set out in these terms. You remain responsible for ensuring that the premises are suitable for the work and that any vulnerable surfaces, fittings, electronics, artwork or valuables are protected or removed before the appointment starts. Where you instruct us to work close to sensitive fixtures, you do so at your own risk unless we expressly confirm that the area is suitable.

We will use reasonable care to avoid damage to the property, but some effects may occur due to pre-existing weakness, concealed defects or the normal impact of cleaning and moisture. Delicate fibres, antique materials, loose seams, colour instability and water-sensitive floor coverings may require special treatment or may not be suitable for cleaning. If we identify a risk, we may pause the service and seek your instruction. You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from hazards you fail to disclose, to the extent permitted by law.

Where parking, loading or access fees are incurred as a result of your premises or your instructions, you are responsible for those costs unless we agree otherwise. Delays caused by traffic, restricted entry, security checks or building management may affect appointment times without giving rise to a claim against us, provided we act reasonably. We will try to keep interruptions to a minimum and to complete the service within the agreed window where possible.

8. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them, are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you are resident in Scotland or Northern Ireland, mandatory local consumer protections may also apply where relevant. Any dispute that cannot be resolved through reasonable discussion should first be raised in writing so that the matter can be reviewed internally before either party starts formal proceedings, except where urgent action is required.

If a court finds any part of these terms to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force to the extent permitted by law. No failure or delay by us in exercising any right or remedy under these terms shall operate as a waiver of that right or remedy. A person who is not a party to the booking has no rights to enforce these terms under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

By proceeding with a booking for Carpetcleaning Mayfair, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to these Terms and Conditions. We recommend that you keep a copy for your records. These terms are designed to ensure clarity, fairness and compliance while supporting a professional carpet cleaning service across the UK.
