Post by: Barry Livingstone on October 03, 2011, 11:43:01 am
Just back from a quote 7.5m x 4m chemdry quote £75.00 then check emails and got asked if i could beat these prices

 Livingroom & Stairs and Hall £65.00. Bedrooms £25.00. Rugs £20.00. Fabric 2 seater sofas from £30.00.

theres a big price war going on and groupon isnt helping matters.

I had a similar thing with a lounge/dr.
Got it at £60, then he told me someone did it
last year for £25.
When I said I didn't know how they make money
at them prices he said it only took him 15 mins
from start to finish.
Not a good job though and damp for hours.

Goes to show there's a market for everyone, and those who have experienced the cheap version next time are more likely to pay the higher prices by those who do it properly.
