Mayfair Carpetcleaning Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Mayfair Carpetcleaning provides domestic and commercial carpet cleaning services in the UK. By making a booking, the customer agrees to these terms, which are designed to create a clear understanding of the booking process, payment arrangements, service limitations, cancellation rights, liability, waste handling, and the law that applies. These terms are intended to be fair and practical, while also reflecting normal standards expected of a professional carpet cleaning service.

In these Terms and Conditions, references to “we”, “us”, and “our” mean the service provider trading as Mayfair Carpetcleaning, and references to “you” or “the customer” mean the person or business arranging the service. These terms apply to all quoted, booked, or completed carpet cleaning services unless we have agreed something different in writing. Any variation must be confirmed by us in writing to have effect.

By booking a carpet cleaning appointment, you confirm that you have read and understood these terms and that you are authorised to arrange the service at the premises where the work is to be carried out. If you are booking on behalf of a landlord, tenant, business, managing agent, or other third party, you are responsible for ensuring that the relevant permissions are in place before the appointment date.

1. Booking Process

A booking for carpet cleaning services is not confirmed until we have accepted the request and, where required, received any agreed deposit or payment in advance. Booking requests may be made through the channels we make available from time to time. Once we have reviewed the request, we may confirm the appointment date, estimated arrival window, service scope, and any special requirements.

It is your responsibility to provide accurate information at the time of booking, including the type of flooring or textile to be cleaned, the approximate size of the area, any known stains, prior treatments, access restrictions, parking limitations, and any risks such as fragile fittings or water-sensitive items. If the information later proves to be incomplete or inaccurate, we may revise the quotation, adjust the service plan, or decline to proceed if the working conditions are materially different from those described.

We use reasonable care when scheduling appointments, but any arrival time given is an estimate rather than a guaranteed time unless we have expressly agreed otherwise in writing. Delays may occur due to traffic, weather, previous appointments, equipment issues, or access problems. We will aim to keep you informed where practicable. You should ensure that someone is available to provide access, discuss the work if needed, and approve completion before we leave, unless you have agreed for the service to be carried out in your absence.

2. Service Scope and Customer Responsibilities

Our service is limited to the items and areas agreed at booking or otherwise confirmed before work begins. Unless specifically included, the service does not cover moving heavy furniture, lifting fitted items, removing nails or staples, treating structural damp, repairing damage, or cleaning surfaces that are not suitable for professional wet or dry cleaning methods. Where movement of light furniture is possible, we may do so at our discretion, but only where it can be done safely and without risk of damage.

The customer must make sure the premises are reasonably prepared before the appointment. This includes removing personal items, valuables, fragile objects, and anything that could obstruct access. If electricity, hot water, or other facilities are needed for the service, you must provide access to them unless we have agreed otherwise. You must also inform us of any allergies, health issues, chemical sensitivities, or site-specific rules that may affect the work.

If we identify pre-existing damage, excessive wear, colour instability, odours from underlying causes, staining that has permanently bonded to the fibres, or other conditions that may limit the result, we may explain this before starting or during the service. Professional carpet cleaning can improve appearance and hygiene, but it cannot guarantee complete stain removal or restoration of fabrics that are already worn, damaged, or unsuitable for treatment. Your acceptance of the service includes acceptance of these normal limitations.

3. Prices, Payments, and Invoicing

Prices are normally based on the quotation given before the service begins and may be calculated by room, area, item, condition, or time required. Any quotation is based on the information supplied by you and is subject to change if the actual work differs materially from the original description. If additional services are requested on the day, we may provide an updated price before proceeding.

Unless we agree otherwise, payment is due immediately on completion of the service. We may accept payment by card, bank transfer, cash, or other methods we make available. Where a deposit or advance payment is required to secure a booking, that amount will be deducted from the final invoice unless stated otherwise. Any processing fees charged by a payment provider are your responsibility unless we have expressly agreed to absorb them.

If an invoice is issued, it must be paid by the due date shown. We reserve the right to charge interest on overdue sums at the statutory rate permitted under UK law, together with reasonable costs of recovery where lawful. If payment is not received, we may suspend further work, withhold any non-essential documents, or cancel future appointments. Title to any goods supplied as part of the service, where relevant, will not pass until full payment has been made.

4. Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Missed Appointments

You may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving us reasonable notice. Where we have reserved time, staff, equipment, or materials for your appointment, late cancellation may result in a charge. If a deposit has been paid, we may retain all or part of it to cover genuine administrative and scheduling losses, unless a refund is required by law. The amount retained will be proportionate and reasonable in the circumstances.

If you cancel with sufficient notice, we will usually offer to rearrange the appointment without further charge. If we arrive at the property and are unable to access the premises, are prevented from carrying out the work, or find that the site is not ready for the agreed service, this may be treated as a missed appointment. In such cases, a call-out fee or wasted journey charge may apply to cover our costs, especially where the issue was avoidable.

We may also need to cancel or reschedule due to illness, safety concerns, severe weather, equipment failure, staff availability, or other events beyond our reasonable control. Where this happens, we will aim to offer a new appointment date. We will not be liable for any losses caused by a cancellation or delay that is necessary for safety, compliance, or operational reasons, provided we act reasonably and communicate appropriately.

5. Liability and Service Standards

We will carry out the service with reasonable skill and care, using appropriate methods and products for the type of material being treated. However, you acknowledge that some fabrics, fibres, dyes, and finishes are inherently delicate, and results can vary depending on the condition of the item, the age of the staining, previous cleaning attempts, and environmental factors. No guarantee is given that every mark, odour, or stain will be removed.

Our liability for loss or damage is limited to direct losses that are a foreseeable consequence of our breach of these terms or of negligence on our part. We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under UK law. Subject to that, we are not responsible for indirect, special, or consequential losses, including loss of profit, business interruption, or loss of enjoyment.

Where damage is alleged, you must notify us as soon as reasonably possible and allow us the chance to inspect the item or area before any repair, replacement, or remedial work is carried out by others. We may request photographs, receipts, or other evidence. We will not be responsible for damage caused by pre-existing defects, hidden weaknesses, unsuitable materials, incorrect customer information, or hazards that were not reasonably apparent at the time of service. Our total liability for any claim, where lawful, shall not exceed the amount paid for the relevant service.

6. Waste Regulations and Environmental Compliance

As part of our operations, we may generate waste such as used filters, packaging, contaminated cloths, disposable protective materials, or waste water collected during cleaning. We will manage such waste in a lawful and responsible manner, in accordance with applicable environmental and waste disposal requirements in the UK. Where materials are classed as controlled or special waste, we will handle them using appropriate procedures and lawful disposal routes.

The customer must not ask us to dispose of items in a manner that would breach environmental rules, building regulations, landlord restrictions, or local site requirements. If the work creates waste beyond ordinary operational waste, such as heavily soiled materials, contaminated contents, or items requiring specialist handling, we may refuse disposal, charge additional fees, or require the customer to arrange suitable removal. We may also decline to use certain products where doing so would create an unacceptable environmental or compliance risk.

We aim to minimise waste and to use products and methods that are proportionate to the work required. Any packaging, empties, or residues from cleaning materials will be dealt with in line with applicable standards and good practice. If waste is to be left on site for customer collection or third-party disposal, that arrangement must be agreed in advance. The customer remains responsible for ensuring that any onward disposal they arrange complies with relevant waste law.

7. Complaints, Access, and Completion

If you are unhappy with any part of the service, you should raise the issue promptly and allow us a reasonable opportunity to assess and, where appropriate, remedy the matter. Because many carpet cleaning outcomes depend on material condition and stain history, a concern does not automatically mean the service was defective. We will review matters fairly and in good faith, taking into account the original booking details, the site conditions, and the work actually completed.

Once the service has been finished and accepted, the appointment will be treated as completed. If no one is present to inspect the work and you have authorised us to leave, the absence of an immediate objection will be taken as confirmation that the service was carried out in accordance with the booking, subject to any later latent issue that could not reasonably have been identified on completion. Nothing in this clause limits statutory rights where they apply.

Where access to the premises is controlled by a key, lockbox, concierge, caretaker, or other third party, you are responsible for ensuring access arrangements are correct and secure. We will take reasonable care of any key or access device entrusted to us and return it as agreed, but we are not liable for delays caused by incorrect codes, unavailable porters, or access instructions that prove inaccurate.

8. Force Majeure, Data, and General Terms

We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including severe weather, fire, flood, accidents, strikes, transport disruption, epidemic or public health restrictions, supply shortages, or failures in utility services. In such circumstances, obligations will be suspended for the duration of the event, and we may rearrange or cancel affected appointments without liability for resulting delay, provided we act reasonably.

Any personal information provided in connection with a booking will be used only for managing the service, administration, invoicing, record-keeping, and lawful business purposes. We will handle personal data in accordance with applicable data protection requirements. You should ensure that any personal data you give us is accurate and that you have the authority to share it where a third party is involved.

If any part of these Terms and Conditions is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force. A failure by us to enforce a right on one occasion does not mean that right is waived for the future. These terms form the entire agreement between us and the customer in relation to the service, except where superseded by a written agreement signed or confirmed by us.

9. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising from 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 over any matter arising under or in connection with these terms, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

By proceeding with a booking, the customer confirms acceptance of these terms and agrees that they represent a fair and reasonable basis for the supply of Mayfair Carpetcleaning services. The aim is to ensure a transparent arrangement that protects both sides and supports a professional standard of work from booking through to completion.

Important note: nothing in these Terms and Conditions affects any rights you may have under consumer law that cannot be excluded or restricted by agreement.
