Carpet & Oven Shiners Terms and Conditions

The customer shall be deemed to be the person whose details are completed on the online quote / contact form transmitted from this website.

DIY cleaning attempt
If you have attempted to do DIY and failed, please wash all those strong chemicals before we start cleaning. Failing to do so, we may refuse to clean or charge extra (please read under TC in our website). In case if we refuse to clean the oven, we will charge the minimum charge (please read TC in our website).

EXCESS CHARGES
For single and double ovens we spend maximum of 3 hours. For 90cm ovens 4 hours and range cookers 5 hours. Any time spent more than above hours, we charge EXTRA £35 per hour. But most of the time we finish our work even before the average time.

UNATTENDED CUSTOMERS
As the nature of our business someone should be available at the property before, while, and after the job. In cleaning, there may be some things which we cannot clean 100% due to various reasons. Customer needs to check all cleaning done before we leave the property. We do not accept any complaints after we left the property.

PARKING
Oven cleaning service is done indoors and in the van too. Since the back doors of the van are kept open while cooking process is completed, we need a safer level parking place. 1-2 hours restricted parking areas are not suitable for us. We do not pay for parking. Free parking from 3 hours to 5 hours is very essential. If parking facilities for our van cannot be provided, we are sorry that we cannot offer our service.
• If off street parking is "pay and display" the customer need to payoff parking.
• If "pay and display" off street parking is limited to 2 hours please discuss with our order desk to start your job one our early than the time started or get the last time slot, which is 4pm.
• As we are using a van mounted dip tank, awe also need a level surface for the job.

WEEKEND PREMIUM
We do carry out jobs in weekends at an EXTRA premium price. Still sometimes we are generous.

COVERAGE
We are based in Godstone, but we have operations in all CR (Croydon),SM (Sutton), all RH (Redhill), and some of TN (Tunbridge Wells) and some of KT (Kingston and Epsom) areas. Please call us, we will sort it out.

OVEN CLEANING
OvenCleaning includes the fan, fan cover, door and all glass layers, oven roof, and self-cleaning panels by using mostly BIO degradable cleaning agents.
* We recommend annual cleaning as it is a service for the oven.
Appointments are made assuming the time to arrive for the job. Our time slots are normally 8-8.30am, 11-12 noon, 3-4pm. Please give us a leverage of 20 minutes +/-. If we are running late we keep you informed. So please respond to your phone calls from us.
* Charges are calculated according to the size of the oven and time. Single ovens maximum of 2 hours, double ovens 3 hours, 90cm ovens 3 hours, range and AGA 5 hours. If we spend more than said time for one oven, there will be extra charges.
• Since we do not clean elements and thermostats, we do not undertake any responsibility if they are not functioning after cleaning.

Knobs and markings on the panel may come off while cleaning. Therefore, it is the customer's responsibility whether the cleaner should carry out cleaning of the panel or not.

We do not clean door rubber seals. But we try our best to keep it tidy.

We are sorry to inform that the above ovens are very hard to clean 100%. We will clean what we can clean only. In some occasions we may charge extra.

CARPET CLEANING & SOFA CLEANING
Carpet cleaning & sofa cleaning is done with a professional steam cleaning machine which sucks out all soil and dirt in your carpet & sofa, and turn them into "like new". Drying will be within approximately in two to three hours. If the carpet and the sofa are very old, we may not be able to bring it back into new due to wear and tear. Odour removing, special spot removing and fleas treatments are to be informed by the customer at the time of placing the order. Strictly unattended (customer) carpets will not be cleaned.
