Terms and Conditions for Carpet Cleaning Soho

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Carpetcleaning Soho provides domestic and commercial carpet cleaning and related upholstery care services in the United Kingdom. By making a booking, confirming an appointment, or allowing our operatives to begin work, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms. Please read them carefully before arranging any carpet cleaning in Soho or any associated cleaning service. These terms are intended to be fair, clear, and consistent with UK consumer law and general business practice.

In these terms, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the service provider operating under the name Carpetcleaning Soho. References to “you” and “your” mean the customer, hirer, or person authorising the service. These terms apply to all standard carpet cleaning services, stain removal treatments, deodorising, and similar cleaning tasks unless we agree otherwise in writing. Any special conditions discussed before the appointment must be confirmed in advance to form part of the booking.

We aim to deliver a professional carpet cleaning Soho service using suitable methods and reasonable care. However, results may vary depending on fibre type, age, previous maintenance, staining, wear, and other pre-existing conditions. By proceeding with a booking, you acknowledge that some marks, odours, or damage may not be fully removable without risk to the material. No statement in these terms limits your statutory rights where they apply.

1. Booking Process

A booking is usually made after an enquiry, quotation, or proposed service estimate. A booking is only confirmed when we accept the request and, where required, receive any deposit, pre-authorisation, or written confirmation from you. We may ask for details such as carpet type, room count, access conditions, parking restrictions, water supply, and any known stains or hazards so that we can allocate the correct equipment and time.

You must ensure that all booking information is accurate and complete. If the description of the premises, the condition of the carpets, or access information changes before the appointment, you should inform us as soon as possible. We may revise the price, method, or scheduled duration if the information originally provided was incomplete or inaccurate. Where we are unable to carry out the service safely or effectively because of undisclosed factors, we may cancel the appointment or charge a reasonable call-out fee.

We may offer time windows rather than exact arrival times. Any estimated arrival or completion time is approximate and may be affected by traffic, weather, equipment issues, or earlier appointments overrunning. If a delay becomes significant, we will attempt to notify you. Carpet cleaning Soho appointments are scheduled on the basis that reasonable access, electricity, and water availability will be provided unless agreed otherwise.

2. Service Standards and Customer Responsibilities

We will carry out the cleaning service with reasonable skill and care, using methods we consider appropriate for the fabric and condition of the carpets or soft furnishings. This may include hot water extraction, low-moisture cleaning, dry compound treatment, spot cleaning, or other techniques selected by our operatives. We reserve the right to refuse a method that we believe may damage the item or produce an unsafe result. If we recommend a limitation or exclusion before work begins, that recommendation forms part of the service agreement.

You are responsible for removing breakables, fragile items, valuables, and personal belongings from the work area before the appointment. We may assist with light furniture movement where safe and reasonable, but we are not obliged to move heavy, fixed, delicate, or high-value items. Where furniture is moved, you accept that small scuffs, indentations, or incidental movement marks may occur on floors or skirting boards unless caused by our negligence.

You must ensure that the property is reasonably prepared for cleaning. This includes enabling access, securing pets, informing us of any allergies, and advising us of any known health and safety concerns. If the area is left unsuitable for work, we may need to shorten the session, reschedule, or charge for wasted attendance time. Customers should also allow for drying time after a carpet cleaning service, which may vary according to ventilation, humidity, and the cleaning method used.

3. Payments

Payment terms will be confirmed at the time of booking or before the service starts. Unless agreed otherwise, full payment is due on completion of the work. In some cases, we may require a deposit or advance payment to secure the booking, especially for larger jobs, specialised stain treatment, or peak-time appointments. Accepted payment methods may include bank transfer, card payment, or other methods we make available from time to time.

All prices, quotations, or estimates are based on the information provided by you and on the assumption that the job can be completed under normal conditions. If additional work is required because of unforeseen circumstances, severe soiling, extra rooms, changed access, or extended labour time, we may charge an additional reasonable amount. We will try to explain any price adjustment before proceeding, but where this is not possible, the final invoice may reflect the actual work completed.

Late or failed payments may result in recovery action. If an invoice remains unpaid after the agreed due date, we may charge reasonable costs associated with collection, subject to applicable law. Nothing in these terms prevents us from seeking payment for work already completed or from refusing future bookings where earlier invoices remain outstanding. Carpetcleaning Soho retains the right to withhold any optional certificates, reports, or aftercare documents until all sums due are paid in full.

4. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Access Failure

You may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving reasonable notice. Unless a different cancellation policy has been agreed in writing, cancellations made with sufficient notice will not normally incur a charge. However, if you cancel at short notice, we may retain a deposit or charge a reasonable cancellation fee to cover staff time, lost availability, and any preparatory work already undertaken. The amount charged will be proportionate and fair.

If you are unable to provide access at the agreed time, or if the property is not ready for work, we may treat the visit as a late cancellation or failed attendance. Examples include inaccessible premises, no one present to grant entry, unsafe conditions, or the absence of required utilities. In such circumstances, we may charge for the visit or ask that a new appointment be arranged. Repeated missed appointments may lead us to refuse further bookings.

If we must cancel or reschedule due to circumstances beyond our control, including staff illness, equipment failure, severe weather, transport disruption, or safety concerns, we will aim to offer an alternative date. We will not normally be responsible for indirect losses caused by a change of appointment time, provided we act reasonably and with notice where possible. This does not affect any rights you may have under consumer law if we fail to provide the service with reasonable care and skill.

5. Liability and Limitations

We will exercise reasonable care and skill in performing the service, but we do not guarantee that every stain, mark, smell, or sign of wear will be removed. Some materials are inherently fragile or may already be weakened by age, prior cleaning, sun exposure, water damage, dye instability, or poor previous repairs. You accept that certain items may react unpredictably to moisture or cleaning agents even when the correct procedure is used.

We are not liable for damage arising from pre-existing defects, hidden faults, unsuitable materials, or information you failed to disclose. This includes shrinkage, colour loss, pile distortion, adhesive failure, seam separation, or watermarking where such outcomes are not caused by our negligence. If we identify a risk before work starts, we may decide to proceed only if you accept that risk. Any consent given by you after a clear warning is treated as confirmation that you understand the possible consequences.

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 lawfully be excluded under UK law. Subject to that, our total liability for any claim connected with a specific service shall not exceed the amount paid for that service, except where a higher limit is required by law. We are not responsible for indirect loss, loss of profit, loss of business, or consequential damage.

6. Waste Regulations and Disposal

We handle waste and dirty water in accordance with applicable UK environmental and waste management requirements. As part of the service, residue, extracted soil, used cloths, filter materials, and packaging may be collected and removed by us where appropriate. We will dispose of such waste responsibly and in line with relevant legal obligations. You agree not to request or require any disposal method that would breach environmental, health, or safety rules.

If the job generates waste that belongs to you, such as removed underlay, damaged materials, or household rubbish discovered during the work, you remain responsible unless we expressly agree in writing to remove it. Where waste contains hazardous or contaminated material, we may refuse to handle it unless proper arrangements are in place. We may also stop work if we find evidence of sharps, biological contamination, excessive damp, mould, asbestos suspicion, or other hazardous conditions requiring specialist attention.

You must tell us in advance if the property contains any substances or materials that may require special handling. This includes cleaning residues, body fluids, chemical spills, pest treatment products, or materials regulated under environmental or health legislation. If we believe that continued work could create a breach of law or a safety risk, we may suspend the service immediately. The customer will be responsible for any costs arising from undisclosed hazardous conditions.

7. Complaints, Inspection, and Remedies

If you believe there is a problem with the service, you should raise it as soon as reasonably possible after completion. Where appropriate, you should allow us the opportunity to inspect the area, assess the concern, and, if suitable, offer a remedy such as a return visit or targeted re-treatment. We may ask for photographs or reasonable evidence so that we can understand the issue and evaluate whether it is related to our service or to an external cause.

If a complaint is accepted, the available remedy will be determined by the nature of the issue and by what is fair in the circumstances. A further treatment may be offered instead of a refund where this is reasonable and capable of resolving the concern. Any remedial action will not extend to unrelated damage, normal wear, or areas outside the original booking. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.

8. Governing Law and General Provisions

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with the service, these terms, or any quotation or booking shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, unless mandatory law provides otherwise. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect legal, operational, or service changes. The version in force at the time of booking will normally apply to that booking, unless a change is required by law or is agreed with you. A failure by us to enforce a right at any time does not waive that right. These terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the service, except for any written variations expressly agreed.

By booking a carpet cleaning Soho service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted these terms. You also confirm that you have authority to request the work and to agree to any applicable charges. We appreciate your cooperation and reserve the right to decline or discontinue work where the circumstances make it unreasonable, unsafe, or unlawful to continue.
