Rooms, stairs, rugs, sofas

Fitted carpets
Hot water goes into the pile and comes straight back out with the grit, and the edges get a hand tool. A front room knocked through to the back is one price, £61.
Bedrooms £36 - 02
Stairs, landings
The stairs in a split terrace take more wear than any room in the flat, so they get the most passes. £41 a flight, with the landing £9 on top.
Stairs £41 a flight - 03
Rugs
Laid on a groundsheet on your own floor and done there, once we've checked the dyes. Viscose comes with a warning from us first.
Rugs from £35 - 04
Sofas, armchairs
Same machine, a small tool and a fraction of the water, which keeps the foam dry. We read the fabric tag before anything touches it.
Two-seaters £57
Prices per room
Most rooms in a Lewisham flat come in at £36 (bedroom) or £43 (living room), and a flight of stairs is £41. You get the total before we start and we don't change it on the doorstep.

Notes from SE13
A lot of what we clean here is in the bay-fronted terraces running out towards Ladywell, Hither Green and Lee, and most of them were split into an upper and a lower maisonette long ago. Upstairs usually has its own front door with the stairs climbing straight up from it and a tight turn at the top. We ask about that turn when you book, because it decides how the kit gets up and how long the job takes.
The towers at Loampit Vale and Lewisham Gateway are the opposite problem. Windows don't open and the air is mechanical, so a carpet dries slowly unless something moves the air, and we bring air movers for that. Ask the concierge to book the service lift and a bay in the car park underneath before the day.
The water is hard. Rinse wool with it and walk away, and a pale mineral bloom comes up on the tips of the pile as it dries; our last pass is an acidic rinse, extracted slowly. Ground floors round Cornmill Gardens, where the Quaggy runs into the Ravensbourne, tend to hold damp, so those get forced drying.
With the market and the buses we can't stop on the high street in the day, so flats over the shops mean a short carry from a side road. Part of the central zone is controlled on Sunday mornings too, and any visitor permit a job there needs is passed on at cost.
