Be VERY CAUTIOUS when booking work from carpet cleaning companies advertising on your local resident page.
A long read but I feel the need to share.
Last week I was asked to reclean a house full of carpets after the customer had booked in one of these guys. The carpets were still dirty and they took ages to dry. The customer told me two men turned up in a people carrier, one stood on his phone and the other rinsed the carpets with a machine (no correct stepped process, no vacuuming and no pre-spray) these photos are the results.
So the customer ended up paying twice, the cowboy company was only about £20 cheaper than me AND they tried to hike the price when they arrived.
These adverts usually mention that their business has hit hard times and offer a discount just to get some work in. Don’t be fooled, they’ll try to inflate the price agreed when they arrive and even if you stick to your guns you’ll probably get a shoddy job. The profile is always linked to a person not a business (so no come backs) and the profile is often cloned.
So, a bit of due diligence is required, look for local independent companies who come recommended or have an assurance.
