Snaresbrook Carpet Cleaners Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions set out the basis on which Snaresbrook Carpet Cleaners provides domestic and commercial cleaning services. By making a booking, confirming an appointment, or allowing access for a service visit, the customer agrees to be bound by these terms. Please read them carefully before arranging any carpet cleaning service, upholstery treatment, or related work. These terms are intended to be fair, clear, and consistent with UK consumer law.

In these terms, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Snaresbrook Carpet Cleaners, and “you” or “the customer” means the individual, business, landlord, tenant, or authorised representative requesting the service. The term “service” includes carpet cleaning, rug cleaning, upholstery cleaning, stain treatment, odour treatment, and any other cleaning task agreed in writing or verbally before the appointment. Any reference to a “cleaning appointment” or “service visit” includes the supply of labour, standard equipment, and approved cleaning products where applicable.

By booking a carpet cleaning appointment, you confirm that you are authorised to request the work and that the area to be cleaned is safe for access. You also confirm that any information you provide about the condition of the property, fibres, stains, access restrictions, pets, electrical issues, or prior treatments is accurate to the best of your knowledge. If you are booking on behalf of another person or organisation, you confirm that you have authority to accept these terms on their behalf.

All services are subject to availability, suitability, and confirmation by us. We may decline a booking if the requested work is outside our capabilities, if the condition of the property creates a risk to people or equipment, or if we believe the result may be limited by pre-existing damage, inappropriate materials, or poor access. The Snaresbrook carpet cleaning team may also recommend alternative methods where a wet-cleaning process is unsuitable for a particular fibre or surface.

Booking Process

Bookings may be made by telephone, email, online enquiry, or any other method we make available. A booking is not confirmed until we have acknowledged the appointment and, where requested, received a deposit or card authorisation. Please check all booking details carefully, including the address, access instructions, service type, number of rooms or items, and any special requirements. If any details change after confirmation, you must inform us as soon as possible so we can assess whether the original quote and timing remain valid.

We may provide an estimate or quotation before the visit. Unless stated otherwise, quotations are based on the information supplied by the customer and may be revised if the actual work differs materially from the description provided. For example, a carpet cleaner in Snaresbrook may need to adjust the price if additional rooms, furniture moves, extensive staining, restricted access, or unusually heavy soiling are discovered on arrival. Any revised price will be explained before work continues, where reasonably practicable.

If a pre-visit inspection is needed, the final scope of work will be agreed after that inspection. We may request photographs, measurements, or product information in order to determine suitability. You agree to provide reasonable access for assessment and cleaning at the agreed time. If we are unable to gain access, the appointment may be treated as a late cancellation or failed visit, and an attendance charge may apply.

We aim to arrive within the scheduled time window, but all times are estimates only. Delays may occur because of traffic, weather, equipment issues, or extended work on a previous job. We are not responsible for losses arising from minor delays, provided we attend within a reasonable time or notify you of a significant change where possible. For ongoing work, the customer is responsible for ensuring that the area remains available for the duration of the appointment.

Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Failed Appointments

You may cancel or reschedule a booking by giving reasonable notice. Cancellations made with sufficient notice may not incur a charge, but short-notice cancellations, same-day cancellations, or repeated changes may result in a fee to cover lost time and administration. If we have reserved a substantial time slot for your carpet cleaning service, the charge may reflect the difficulty of rebooking that slot. Any deposit may be retained in whole or in part if the cancellation causes a loss.

If you are not present at the agreed time, fail to provide access, provide incorrect access information, or the work cannot proceed due to unsafe conditions, we may classify the visit as failed. In such cases, an attendance fee or minimum service charge may apply. We may also leave and reschedule where pets, children, health hazards, severe clutter, or other conditions make the job unsafe or impractical. We will use reasonable judgment and may decline to begin or continue work where necessary.

We may cancel or reschedule an appointment where operational issues, staff illness, equipment failure, severe weather, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control make attendance impracticable. If we do so, we will aim to offer an alternative date or another suitable remedy. Our liability is limited as described below, but nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights where the service has been paid for and not properly delivered.

Liability and Service Limitations

We will carry out services with reasonable care and skill in accordance with the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and other applicable UK law. However, cleaning results depend on many factors, including fabric type, age, previous treatments, fibre condition, environmental damage, and the nature of stains or odours. We cannot guarantee complete removal of all stains, marks, odours, or wear, particularly where damage is permanent, unknown, or previously treated with unsuitable products.

Before cleaning, the customer should remove fragile items, valuables, loose objects, and any items that may be affected by moisture, movement, or vibration. Where we agree to move furniture, we do so only on a limited and reasonable basis, and only for items that can be safely moved by one or two operatives. We are not responsible for pre-existing damage, unstable furniture, weak fixtures, hidden defects, or damage caused by items that were not adequately secured or disclosed.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of business, loss of enjoyment, or similar losses arising from the service. 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. If we are found liable for loss or damage, our total liability shall normally be limited to the amount paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim, except where the law requires otherwise.

We are not responsible for damage caused by pre-existing defects, hidden leaks, poor installation, colour run, unstable dyes, unsuitable backing, weak seams, or wear that becomes visible after cleaning. In some cases, cleaning may reveal damage that was already present but obscured by dirt or soil. We may, at our discretion, refuse to clean items that are at risk of shrinkage, colour loss, distortion, or other foreseeable harm. If you request that we proceed despite our advice, you do so at your own risk, subject always to your statutory rights.

Customer Responsibilities

You must ensure that the property is reasonably ready for cleaning, including access to water, electricity, and working facilities where needed, unless we have agreed otherwise. You must also tell us about any health and safety concerns, pets, children, asbestos risk, medical sensitivities, or special site rules before the appointment begins. If you fail to disclose a relevant issue and this causes delay, extra cost, or risk, we may charge accordingly or terminate the visit.

Where cleaning products or treatments are used, you must follow any aftercare instructions given at the time of service. This may include allowing adequate drying time, keeping foot traffic to a minimum, ventilating the room, avoiding immediate re-soiling, and not placing furniture or coverings back too soon. If aftercare instructions are not followed, we cannot accept responsibility for avoidable re-soiling, odours, residue marks, or slow drying.

Customers must not request or require the use of unsafe chemicals, unlawful methods, or work that would breach manufacturer guidance, property rules, or legal requirements. We reserve the right to refuse any instruction that we believe is unsafe, unsuitable, or likely to damage property. Where a customer chooses a service option contrary to our advice, we may ask for written confirmation before continuing.

These terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising from or connected with the service or these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, except where consumer law allows a different forum. If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in law, business practice, or service scope. The version in force at the time of your booking will apply to that booking unless a later version is required by law. Continued use of our Snaresbrook carpet cleaning services after an update indicates acceptance of the revised terms for future bookings. No waiver of any right or remedy shall operate unless agreed in writing.

In summary, booking with Snaresbrook Carpet Cleaners means you accept these service terms, including payment obligations, cancellation rules, liability limits, waste handling expectations, and governing law. Our aim is to deliver a professional, careful, and transparent carpet cleaning service while protecting the interests of both the customer and the business.
