Modern Slavery Statement — London Carpet Cleaners Commitment

London Carpet Cleaners operates with an unequivocal zero-tolerance policy to modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour. As a leading provider of carpet cleaning services across the capital — whether described as London carpet cleaners or carpet cleaning London specialists — we set clear expectations for our team, subcontractors and suppliers: exploitative labour practices have no place in our operations. This statement summarises our approach, the steps we take to detect and prevent modern slavery across our business and our supply chain, and the commitments we make to continuous improvement.

Our obligations and responsibilities extend across all activities performed by London-based carpet cleaners associated with our business. The scope covers direct employees, agency labour and third-party partners involved in procurement, logistics and on-site service delivery. We require that everyone working on behalf of the company is treated with dignity and respect and receives fair pay and working conditions. This document describes the policies that underpin that stance and the mechanisms we use to enforce it.

Supply Chain Standards and Controls

We maintain rigorous supplier selection criteria and contractual clauses that explicitly prohibit modern slavery. Our supplier code of conduct requires compliance with applicable employment laws and human rights standards. To ensure these obligations are met we implement a risk-based approach to supplier monitoring and due diligence, prioritising higher-risk categories such as cleaning subcontractors, laundry services and vehicle maintenance providers.

• Pre-contract due diligence on prospective suppliers
• Mandatory contractual anti-slavery clauses
• Regular supplier audits and risk assessments

Reporting Channels and Whistleblowing

We operate clear, accessible reporting channels for staff, contractors and third parties to raise concerns about suspected slavery or trafficking. Reports may be made anonymously through internal whistleblowing routes or via line managers; all reports are taken seriously and investigated promptly. The company ensures that there are no reprisals for good-faith reporting and that confidentiality is protected where possible. Strong protections are in place to support vulnerable workers and anyone who comes forward.

Supplier audits are an integral part of our compliance framework. These audits combine documentation review, site visits and worker interviews to validate working conditions, wage practices and recruitment processes. Where non-compliance is identified we require corrective action plans, set improvement timelines and may suspend or terminate relationships if suppliers fail to remediate serious breaches. Our audit programme is risk-based and is intensified for higher-risk jurisdictions and service categories.

We are committed to continual improvement through training, policy review and collaboration with industry peers. The company provides mandatory training for staff on recognising signs of modern slavery and on the correct procedures for reporting concerns. In addition, we periodically review our procurement policies and contractual terms to strengthen anti-slavery protections across the supplier network.

Annual Review and Governance

Every year the board reviews the effectiveness of our modern slavery prevention measures and supplier audit outcomes. This annual review evaluates incidents reported, audit findings, remediation actions and training uptake. It also guides updates to policy, resource allocation for compliance activities and any development of new controls. The results of that review inform our action plan for the following year and ensure accountability at senior management level.

London Carpet Cleaning and affiliated teams remain resolute in their responsibility to prevent modern slavery. Through a combined programme of zero-tolerance policy, targeted supplier audits, clear reporting channels and an annual governance review, we seek to protect workers, strengthen our supply chain integrity and uphold the highest ethical standards in the carpet cleaning sector.
