Claims
Top Cleaners has a public and employer's liability insurance which includes "Treatment Risk". The policy will cover any accidental damages caused by an operative working on behalf of Top Cleaners. There is £250 excess on any claim. The customer accepts and understands that poor service; breakage/damage or theft must be reported within 24 hours from our service date. Failure to do so will entitle customer to nothing. Top Cleaners advises that the customer or a customer's representative must be present at the time of completion of the job so an inspection can be carried out and any corrections made on site on the same day. If the customer has scheduled an inventory check then it must be scheduled to commence no later than 24 hours after the cleaning job has been carried out. In case of damage Top Cleaners will repair the item at its cost. If the item cannot be repaired Top Cleaners will rectify the problem by crediting the customer with the item's present actual cash value toward a like replacement from a Top Cleaners’ source upon payment of cleaning services rendered. If the customer is not completely satisfied with a cleaning job, Top Cleaners will re-clean any areas and items to customer's satisfaction.
All fragile and highly breakable items must be secured or removed. Items excluded from liability are: cash, jewellery, items of sentimental value (the customer will be credited with the items present cash value), art and antiques. Key replacement/locksmith fees are paid only if our operatives lose keys. Top Cleaners reserves the right not to be responsible for: cleaning job not complete due to the lack of suitable cleaning materials and/or equipment in full working order, hot water or power; third party entering or present at the customer's premises during the cleaning process; wear or discolouring of fabric becoming more visible once dirt has been removed; failing to remove old/permanent stains that cannot be removed using standard carpet cleaning methods; existing damage or spillage that cannot be cleaned/removed completely using provided by the customer cleaning materials and equipment or standard carpet cleaning equipment; any damages caused by a faulty or not in full working order materials/equipment supplied by the customer; accidental damages worth £50 or less; any accidental damages caused by our cleaners if the customer has an unpaid balance owed to Top Cleaners.
