  4. REFUND POLICY: –  As per our terms and conditions , If the product has not been dispatched by the manufacturer we will accept a cancellation of your order and refund your money.

We will advise you of any such charge and you may then decide whether or not you wish to cancel the order.
  5. WASTED TIME CHARGES: – We reserve the right to charge a fee for wasted time if our Fitters arrive on site to find they are unable to proceed due to inadequate preparation or are unable to gain access to the premises. Fitting appointments are made in good faith but the exact arrival and duration times cannot be guaranteed due to the nature and unpredictability of the work involved. We require a minimum of 72 hrs notice to re-schedule any fittings or any changes you may require, once arrangements have been made. Failure to give sufficient notice may result in additional charges being levied.
  6. INSTALLATION ARRANGEMENTS: – On receipt of materials we will contact you to arrange a date for installation if this had not already been arranged. Although we try our very best, any delivery dates given for receipt of materials are approximate. Information given in respect of times of arrival at your premises or time required to complete work are for guidance only.
  7. INSTALLATION: – When installing floor coverings we carry out the work using methods we consider to be the most suitable. Should you require to know the position of seams or joins, please ask and please ensure that any special instructions are made clear and confirmed in writing.

Door trimming

Doors may need to be trimmed to allow clearance depending upon the depth of your chosen floorcovering. This is not part of the fitting work unless this has been specifically agreed. Fitters may remove doors to facilitate fitting and have them ready for you or your appointed carpenter to carry out the trimming and re-hanging. If you have fire doors, external doors or non-wood doors that require trimming, this will need to be carried out by a specialist carpenter and this is not a service which Carpetright will either carry out or arrange. We are also unable to remove, or arrange the removal of, any fire doors or external doors so arrangements must be made prior to the fitting date to avoid any delays.

Uplift and disposal

If you have opted for the ‘uplift and disposal’ service, The Fitter will remove your old flooring and all offcuts and packaging from your new flooring. Even if you have paid for the service, the fitter will only carry out this work if the floor covering is not soiled and there is no health and safety risk to the fitter in respect of the product being uplifted. Your fitter will return the flooring removed to LiaQbell for disposal. If you have decided not to opt for this service, it is your responsibility to uplift your existing flooring prior to your fitters’ arrival. The fitter will then bag up any offcuts from your new flooring and leave them for you to dispose of. If you would like to keep any offcuts, please advise your fitter upon arrival at your home. The Fitters will notdoes not include white or electrical goods, pianos, antiques, or items over 4ft in height. Please ensure that these items contents are cleared prior to the fitting date to avoid any delays or inconvenience with your fitting.

Appointment times and dates

Fitting appointments are estimates only and are made in good faith, but the exact arrival and duration times cannot be guaranteed due to the nature and unpredictability of the work involved. Time is not of the essence. We cannot accept liability for delayed arrival of the fitter.

Damage and scuff marks

Fitters undertake to carry out their work with reasonable skill and care, but even with the greatest care home décor may be marked or scuffed during the fitting process. New paintwork and wallpaper is especially vulnerable and should be allowed to fully dry. A minimum of two weeks is recommended. Neither Carpetright nor any fitter undertake to carry out any redecoration, except where damage has been caused by that person’s negligence

Quotations and fitting

All quotations and orders are on the basis that the subfloor is suitable for fitting the flooring you have selected without additional work. It is your responsibility to ensure that this is the case. We can carry out a free home flooring survey (please see above). Any fitter recommended by us will fit the product on your subfloor as it is when he or she arrives to fit the floorcovering, unless you have asked us to arrange for any works to be carried out to your subfloor. If any damage is caused to the product as a result of your subfloor being inadequate, all costs associated with remedying the subfloor and replacing any product are solely your responsibility unless we carried out a survey, please see above.

  1. KITCHEN AND UTILTY AREAS: – We cannot offer a service to disconnect and re-connect appliances this is the responsibility of the property owner and appliances must be moved from the area of work prior to our visit. Fitters undertake to carry out their work with reasonable skill and care but we accept no responsibility for any leaks. It should be noted vinyl surfaces reflect even slight undulations in the sub floor. This is typical of vinyl flooring and is not a material or installation fault.
  2. APPEARANCE & SHADING: – All cut pile carpets are liable to shade, that is to show light and dark patches from unequal crushing of the pile surface. This is especially so with velvet piles with light and delicate shades which are more likely to soil in use and apparently change colour. Carpets with a longer pile will flatten in heavy wear areas, particularly on stairs. The very nature of products with a high content of wool or natural fibres can produce small blemishes and as with shading, these are characteristic of textile products and not manufacturing defects.
  3. COLOUR: – Please note that our display samples from which selection is made are representative of colour and not replicas. Manufacturers point out that different dye batches can and often do vary in shade. On receipt of your order, if colour is absolutely critical, we may be able to obtain a cutting of current stock for your approval.
  4. TRANSPORTATION: – Broadloom carpets are often transported wrapped around a core to prevent bending and creasing. This can result in a line or pole mark, usually to one end of the room. This mark is temporary and will disappear quite quickly.
  5. UNDERLAYS: – The performance of a new carpet is enhanced by the provision of a good quality underlay. Some manufacturers’ guarantees are not valid if old underlay has been used.
  6. SITE CONDITIONS:-It is sometimes necessary to deliver products to site for an acclimatisation period prior to installation. This can vary between 1 and 7 days depending on the product and climate. There is a requirement for a dry environment before, during and after installation of wood or laminate flooring. In the rooms where the floor is to be stored and laid, conditions should be the same as expected when the areas are in use. They must be weather tight with the heating system in place and all wet trades (i.e. plaster, cement, painting) must be completed and fully cured. Any damp problems must be completely remedied before installation commences. Many products are shrink wrapped and this should be left intact until the fitters arrive to start work. The temperature in the area to receive any type of flooring should be in the region of 58 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit and the relative air humidity should be between 35% and 65% when timber or laminate floors are to be installed. Cement sub floors must have a maximum moisture content of 5% and a maximum 75% relative humidity.
  7. REPARATION OF SUB FLOORS: – Prior to installation of some products, it is necessary to carry out floor preparation. When carrying out a site survey it is not always possible to obtain sufficient information to provide an accurate costing for floor preparation. The price we give is based on what we can actually see and on the assumption that the existing floor can be removed successfully. The price assumes that an overlay of 4mm or 6mm plywood or one coat of latex screed (3mm) is all that is required to produce a suitable surface. In instances where extra work is required, thus incurring additional costs, this will be fully explained and priced before such work commences.
  8. CONCEALED SERVICE, AND WIRING: -It is essential you inform us of any concealed pipes or cables prior to work commencing. We do not accept any responsibility for damage caused if we are unaware of these. Wires for power, telephones, alarms, and computers etc that are often run above ground should not be placed under the floor covering. If you do choose to leave wires in this position, we do not accept responsibility for any damage to the wires or the systems they serve.
  9. TIMBER FLOORS: – Wood is a hygroscopic material and is therefore affected by changes in humidity and temperature. Natural contraction and expansion will occur and gaps may appear. Timber floors are not suitable for wet areas and water left on the surface can cause damage. Similarly, caution should be used with laminate floors and advice sought beforehand. Wood is a natural material and therefore subject to infinite variations in colour, texture, knots and grain patterns. Wood also has characteristics not found in man-made materials, such as surface splits and shakes where filling is sometimes necessary. In the instances of loose knots, these are often filled with wax to retain the natural appearance of the product. These are accepted as being normal features of wood products and are not detrimental to their performance.
  10. VINYL FLOORS: – Installation of vinyl floors such as Karndean and Amtico or safety flooring where the product is stuck to a prepared surface can only be carried out in well ventilated areas and with normal working temperatures (see item 12). These products cannot be installed in extremes of temperature viz: below 60 or above 75 degrees. In this respect we are unable to install any type of stuck down flooring

Cancellations and Returns

One we have received you order you have the right to cancel your order, should you need to cancel your order you must contact us by e-mail immediately ,In some cases your order may have been processed or dispatched The right to cancel does NOT apply to products that are made to your specifications. This includes floor coverings, which have been cut from a roll to your specific order size. If the products have already been cut to your specifications and if not, we will accept a cancellation of your order and refund your money. It should be noted orders may have been cut by our suppliers on prior to being delivered to our store and cannot be canceled despite not being yet delivered. Wood flooring laminate or all other non-stock materials may be returned in unopened original condition but will be subject to a re-stocking fee of 25% at all times, please ensure areas are measured correctly as this will include partial returns from larger orders

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE: – For the best results, use only the cleaning regime and products recommended by the manufacturer of the flooring. The use of cleaners that contain abrasives or corrosives should be avoided. An upright cleaner with a brush and suction mechanism is preferable to a suction only machine to maintain the great majority of carpets. Some manufacturers of loop pile products do however recommend suction only cleaning. Please ask for vinyl cleaning instructions.

CONCLUSION:  – We value our customers most highly and our terms of trading are designed to outline our requirements, particularly in respect of site conditions. Your attention to them not only avoids misunderstandings
