Terms and Conditions for Carpetcleaning Finsburypark
These Terms and Conditions apply to all carpet, rug, upholstery, and related cleaning services provided by Carpetcleaning Finsburypark (referred to in these terms as “we”, “us”, or “our”). By making a booking, confirming an appointment, or allowing our technicians to carry out work, you agree to be bound by the terms set out below. Please read this page carefully before placing an order for any carpet cleaning service, because it explains how bookings are handled, how payment works, what happens if plans change, and the limits of our responsibility.
These terms are intended to be clear, fair, and consistent with UK consumer law. They apply to domestic and commercial customers unless otherwise agreed in writing. If any separate written agreement, quotation, or service specification conflicts with these terms, the written agreement will take priority for that specific job only. All other parts of these terms will continue to apply. In these terms, references to “you” or “the customer” mean the person placing the booking, the property owner, tenant, occupier, or authorised representative requesting the service.
We provide professional carpet cleaning services and related treatments using methods chosen to suit the fabric, soil level, and condition of the items or flooring being cleaned. Results may vary depending on age, wear, fibre type, previous treatments, staining, and environmental conditions. No statement in these terms should be read as a guarantee that every mark, stain, odour, or defect can be fully removed. We work with reasonable skill and care, but certain materials or stains may respond differently to the cleaning process.
1. Booking process
Bookings may be made by telephone, email, online enquiry form, messaging, or any other method we make available from time to time. A booking is not confirmed until we have acknowledged it and provided a date, time window, or provisional schedule. Any quotation issued before inspection is based on the information you supply and may be adjusted if the actual condition, size, access, or service scope differs from what was described. In some cases, we may require photographs, an inventory, or a site assessment before confirming the final price.
When you book Carpetcleaning Finsburypark, you are responsible for ensuring that the information you provide is accurate and complete. This includes details such as property access, parking restrictions, pets, fragile items, water supply, power supply, and any known damage or contamination. If the service cannot be delivered safely or efficiently because key information was omitted or inaccurate, we may reschedule, amend the quotation, or cancel the job in accordance with these terms. We may also refuse to proceed where doing so would be unsafe, unlawful, or impractical.
2. Prices, estimates, and payments
All prices are stated in pounds sterling unless otherwise agreed. Prices may be given as fixed fees, minimum charges, hourly rates, room-based rates, or estimates depending on the nature of the work. Unless expressly confirmed as fixed, all quotations are estimates only and may change if the actual work required is greater than expected. We will normally explain any significant variation before starting the service or as soon as reasonably possible if new information becomes apparent during the visit.
Payment is due in full on completion of the service unless a different arrangement has been agreed in writing beforehand. We may accept card payments, bank transfer, cash, or other methods that we choose to offer. Where deposits are requested, they may be used to secure a time slot and may be non-refundable if a late cancellation occurs. If payment is not made when due, we may charge reasonable recovery costs and statutory interest where permitted by law. Any invoice dispute must be raised promptly and in good faith, and you must still pay any undisputed amount on time.
We reserve the right to charge additional sums if the job changes after booking, including where extra rooms, steps, difficult access, heavy contamination, excessive furniture moving, stain treatment, or specialist equipment is required. If additional work is identified on arrival, we will usually explain the change before proceeding. You may decline the extra work, but this may affect the final result. Any promotional offer, discount, or package rate applies only to the exact services and conditions stated at the time of booking.
3. Customer responsibilities before and during the service
You must ensure that the premises are reasonably safe and ready for the service. This includes providing access to the property and to the areas to be cleaned, removing small valuables and breakables, and informing us of any hazards. Unless we have agreed in writing to move items, the customer remains responsible for moving delicate, heavy, or valuable furniture and belongings. We may assist with standard lightweight items at our discretion, but we do not accept responsibility for pre-existing instability or hidden defects.
Where a service requires water, electricity, or working drainage, you must provide suitable facilities unless we have specifically agreed otherwise. You must also disclose any history of flooding, leaks, mould, asbestos, pest infestation, or chemical contamination that may affect the safety of the work. Failure to disclose such matters may result in the service being paused, amended, or cancelled, with any reasonable costs already incurred payable by you. We may refuse to apply certain treatments to items that are unsuitable or at risk of damage.
During the visit, you agree to cooperate with reasonable instructions from our technicians, including allowing sufficient working space and keeping children and pets away from equipment and wet surfaces. For health and safety reasons, we may stop work if the environment becomes unsafe or if there is interference with the service. Where drying times are involved, you should avoid walking on treated areas until they are sufficiently dry. We are not liable for damage caused by ignoring aftercare instructions provided at the time of service.
4. Cancellations, rescheduling, and missed appointments
You may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving us reasonable notice. If you cancel at short notice, a cancellation charge may apply to reflect lost time, admin costs, and any expenses already incurred. For example, where a technician has already been allocated, materials prepared, or travel arranged, we may retain all or part of any deposit and may charge an additional fee where permitted by law. We will always aim to keep such charges proportionate and reasonable.
If you are a consumer and your booking is made at distance or outside business premises, your statutory rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 may apply, subject to any exceptions for services to be carried out at a specific time or within a specific period. Where you request that we begin the service within the relevant cooling-off period, you may lose the right to cancel once the work has started, if you have given express consent and acknowledged the loss of that right where applicable. This does not affect any other statutory rights you may have.
If we need to cancel or reschedule due to weather, staff illness, vehicle problems, safety concerns, supply issues, or events beyond our control, we will contact you as soon as reasonably practicable and offer an alternative appointment. We are not responsible for any indirect loss caused by a reasonable rescheduling decision. If no suitable alternative can be arranged, any prepayment relating to the cancelled appointment will normally be refunded, unless the cancellation was caused by your breach of these terms or by circumstances outside our control that do not justify a refund under law.
5. Liability, limitations, and damage claims
We will carry out the service with reasonable skill and care. If you believe a problem has arisen because of our negligence, you must notify us as soon as reasonably possible and, where appropriate, allow us the opportunity to inspect the issue and consider a remedy. We may offer re-cleaning, adjustment, or another reasonable resolution where this is appropriate and proportionate. Any claim should be supported by clear details and, where possible, photographs taken promptly after the issue is noticed.
Our liability is limited to losses that are foreseeable and directly caused by our breach of these terms or our negligence, subject always to any non-excludable rights under UK law. We do not exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of business, loss of goodwill, or loss arising from delays beyond our control.
We are not liable for damage caused by pre-existing defects, wear and tear, faulty installation, unsuitable materials, hidden weaknesses, poor maintenance, colour loss, dye bleed, shrinkage, residual odour, or the nature of the item being cleaned. Some textiles, fibres, adhesives, or finishes may react unpredictably to moisture, heat, agitation, or specialist products. By agreeing to the service, you acknowledge that cleaning can sometimes reveal pre-existing faults or change the appearance of worn materials, even when reasonable care is taken. Where you request treatment against our advice, this is done at your own risk.
6. Waste regulations, chemicals, and environmental compliance
We aim to carry out all work in a manner consistent with applicable UK environmental and waste rules. Waste water, removed debris, and contaminated materials will be handled, stored, and disposed of in a lawful and responsible way. We may use extraction equipment, sealed containers, or other suitable methods to reduce the risk of spillage and environmental harm. Customers must not request or require us to dispose of prohibited waste in an unlawful manner.
Any products, detergents, stain removers, sanitisers, or spot treatments we use will be selected according to the job and may be subject to safety data and handling guidance. You must inform us of allergies, sensitivities, pets, children, or other circumstances that may affect product selection. We are not responsible for reactions caused by undisclosed sensitivities, improper handling after the service, or the use of third-party products after our work is complete. If you supply your own cleaning chemicals, you do so at your own risk and you remain responsible for their suitability and compliance.
Where waste removal is part of the service, we will determine the appropriate method based on applicable law and operational practicality. This may include segregation, authorised disposal routes, or refusal to handle items that are hazardous, restricted, or unsuitable for removal within a standard domestic cleaning appointment. You agree not to leave us with materials that are illegal to transport or dispose of without prior written agreement and any necessary documentation. If specialist disposal is required, additional charges may apply.
7. Complaints, disputes, and governing law
Complaints procedure
If you are unhappy with any aspect of the service, please notify us promptly and give a clear description of the issue. This allows us to review the matter and, where appropriate, propose a remedy. We may ask for photographs, access to the affected area, or other reasonable evidence. Complaints made long after the service may be harder to assess, particularly where the area has been used, re-soiled, altered, or treated by another party.We will try to resolve disputes informally and fairly. If a mutually acceptable resolution cannot be reached, either party may rely on the usual legal routes available in England and Wales. Nothing in these terms prevents you from relying on your statutory consumer rights. If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remainder will continue in force to the fullest extent permitted by law.
These terms are governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, claim, or matter arising from or connected with these terms, except where mandatory consumer law provides otherwise. This is a legal information page only and does not form part of any marketing statement. By booking Carpetcleaning Finsburypark, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these service terms in full.
