What’s Not Included

To keep expectations clear, the following are typically excluded from a standard carpet clean:

• Permanent stain removal where fibres are already dyed or bleached
• Repair of burns, tears, ripples or fitting issues
• Heavy infestation treatment (e.g. fleas, bedbugs) – this is a pest control issue
• Colour restoration where the carpet has faded with age or sunlight

If you are unsure whether something is included, simply ask during the quotation stage and we will provide a clear, honest answer.

Our Step-by-Step Carpet Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions: approximate room sizes, number of rooms, carpet type if known, level of soiling and any specific concerns (pets, allergies, stains). Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually as a fixed price for the job rather than an open-ended hourly rate.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most homes, a virtual survey with photos or a short video is sufficient. For larger properties or commercial premises, we may arrange an onsite survey. We assess fibre type, construction, access, parking, and any risks such as shrinkage-prone carpets. This allows us to choose the safest and most effective method and confirm the price before any work begins.

3. Preparation on the Day

On arrival we walk through the job with you to confirm areas to be cleaned. You’ll need to remove small items from the floor; we can carefully move light furniture as agreed. We protect corners and hard floors where required, set up hoses and machinery, and then carry out the full cleaning process. At the end, we’ll explain drying times, aftercare and any limitations where permanent staining remains.

Transparent Pricing: How We Charge

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Typically we price by room or by the area to be cleaned, taking into account:

• Room sizes and number of rooms
• Level of soiling (normal use vs heavy traffic)
• Access and parking arrangements
• Any additional services such as rugs or upholstery

Quotes are given in advance and confirmed before work starts. There are no hidden fees for basic pre-treatment or standard stain removal attempts. If we think something will require extra time or specialist products, we will discuss it with you first so you can decide how to proceed.

Why Professional Carpet Cleaning Beats DIY

Hiring or buying a small machine may seem cheaper, but there are important differences:

• Professional machines deliver far better extraction, reducing over-wetting and speeding up drying.
• Trained technicians understand fibre types and use the correct solutions and temperatures.
• DIY machines can leave detergent in the carpet, attracting soil and causing rapid re-soiling.
• Incorrect methods can cause shrinkage, colour bleed or damage to backing and underlay.

Our goal is not just to make carpets look better on the day, but to clean them in a way that protects their condition and appearance for the long term.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your carpets and property are fully protected while we work. We carry:

• Public liability cover for accidental damage or injury on site
• Goods in transit insurance for equipment and materials we bring to your property

All technicians are trained in safe chemical handling, equipment use and stain removal techniques. We follow industry best practice for pre-testing, colourfast checks and safe working in homes and workplaces. Documentation is available on request for landlords, agents and commercial clients.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every property with respect, using corner guards and floor protectors where required, and wiping up any drips as we go. We favour low-toxicity, biodegradable cleaning solutions wherever possible, and we carefully measure products to avoid waste. Our machines are maintained for efficiency, helping to keep energy use controlled and drying times low, which in turn reduces the risk of mould and musty odours.

Where a carpet is nearing the end of its life, we’ll give you an honest opinion rather than promising unrealistic results, so you can make informed decisions about cleaning versus replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does carpet cleaning in Kingston upon Thames cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size and number of rooms, the level of soiling and whether you need any extras such as rug or upholstery cleaning. As a guide, smaller rooms cost less than large lounges or stairs and landings, which can be more time-consuming. We usually provide a fixed price for the whole job after a short discussion or virtual survey, so you know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden charges for basic pre-sprays or standard stain treatment attempts.

Can you offer same-day or urgent carpet cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate urgent or same-day carpet cleaning, especially for spillages, end of tenancy deadlines or last-minute inspections. Availability depends on existing bookings and the size of the job, so it’s always worth calling to check. If we can’t attend the same day, we’ll offer the earliest possible appointment and advise you over the phone on immediate steps to take so that a stain doesn’t set in before we arrive.

Are you insured while working in my property?

Yes. We are fully insured for the work we carry out. This includes public liability cover for accidental damage or injury while we’re on site, as well as goods in transit insurance for the professional equipment and products we bring with us. Insurance certificates can be provided to landlords, letting agents or commercial clients on request. Alongside our cover, our technicians follow careful working practices to minimise risk, including pre-testing sensitive areas and explaining any limitations before treatment.

What exactly is included in a carpet cleaning service?

A standard carpet cleaning appointment includes an initial assessment, vacuuming where required, application of a suitable pre-spray, agitation (where appropriate), professional hot water extraction or low-moisture cleaning, and a neutralising rinse. We also carry out targeted spot treatment on general stains such as drinks or light food spills. At the end, we groom the pile to speed up drying and leave the room tidy. Any optional extras, such as rug or upholstery cleaning, will be clearly itemised on your quotation beforehand.

How far in advance should I book?

For the best choice of dates and times, especially if you need evenings or weekends, we recommend booking at least a week in advance. During busy periods, such as student changeovers or just before major holidays, slots can fill quickly. That said, cancellations do happen, so if you need something sooner it’s still worth contacting us to see what’s available. For end of tenancy cleans, it’s wise to book as soon as you know your move-out date to avoid last-minute stress.

How long do carpets take to dry after cleaning?

Drying time depends on the carpet type, ventilation and the cleaning method used. Most carpets are touch-dry within a few hours, and we’ll advise you on safe walking and furniture replacement. We use powerful extraction to remove as much moisture as possible, which significantly reduces drying times compared with many DIY machines. Keeping windows slightly open or running heating and airflow will help speed the process. We’ll always discuss expected drying times with you before we leave, tailored to your specific carpets and conditions.
