It's boring it needs to sell your services not tell your services you need to romance the reader and spin a story of your cleaning.
Imagine that you are having a discussion about carpet cleaning with a price conscious customer write down the why you do what you do.

i guess it a little difficult to tell at the moment,it is at its very early stages.
I am in the middle of altering mine after having to change from MS live small busuness ti MS 365 professional
so was going to ask opinions, so i may as well ask now, and advise regarding seo,s tags and links etc would be great from you web wizzards .

sorry mate but what is are system or should it say our . maybe its me ?
-
"...are patented system"
"our" :)
Agree with Shaun, it really isn't engaging and looks very home made. But saying that I built a home made web page 8 years ago, with the intention of it being temporary for a few months... I get a couple of jobs a month from it! Not my main source of work and never will be, might be different for you so I'd work really hard on polishing it up to look professional, kind of has an amateur feel to it. Saying this with the utmost of respect mate, just trying to give ideas :)
Also is there any issue with your web address being so similar to dry fusion?
You have a different web address, email address and company name, I think that just seems a bit dis-jointed and may put customers off because it doesn't broadcast a really solid identity
E.G. if your web address was extremeclean.co.uk and your email was office@extremeclean.co.uk it would be a great little package. Something to think about

working now :)

Jim is right you don't have to piggy back dry fusion you need your own identity or your area of work ie carpet cleaner town, even if google decides to stop the place name attraction at least you'll be telling potential customers that you are local to them.

Perhaps a nice photo of you, and you van so that people know who they are talking to, and shows off your van and equipment.

Mate, please don't take this to heart, I'm just trying to offer some constructive criticism for you.
Had a quick squiz at your main page and this is what stood out like doggies to me::
Based on the Fylde Coast, We are a Small Family Run Business Specialising in Low Moisture Cleaning of Carpet's. Using Woolsafe Approved Chemicals we can Safely Clean, Deoderise, Stain Block and Heat dry all types of Natural and Synthetic Floor Coverings. Carpets can be walked on immediately and are fully Dry in 30mins GUARANTEED.
Use caps ONLY at the beginning of a sentence, or for emphasis on a particular point.
Use spell check.
Instead of this:

Sofa Cleaning in the Home. (Fleetwood , Thornton, Cleveley's, Blackpool, Poulton Fylde Coast)

(Fleetwood , Thornton, Cleveley's, Blackpool, Poulton, Fylde Coast)
Try this:
Call us for carpet, sofa and leather cleaning in the home in:
Fleetwood , Thornton, Cleveley's, Blackpool, Poulton, Fylde Coast
We now also offer a Gutter Vacuuming Service.
Please click Gutter Vacuuming at top right corner of page.
Now for the nitty gritty:
We also offer are services to the commercial sector and have different chemicals for different enviroments.
Spellcheck again
Restore (heavy soil breaker for pub's and Clubs etc).
Pure Fusion (no perfumes,anti static for office's and call centre's etc).
Spacing between words, upper caps, plus who knows what you are talking about except maybe a carpet cleaner.?
Bactoshield (kills MRSA, E-COLI, STAPH AUREUS, AMMONIA and Pet smells perfect for Healthcare and Sporting Facilities).
Chewing Gum removal.
Again, lower text + grammar for both the above lines, also don’t forget the commas when required. Also be very careful with what you say, such as "Bactoshield kills ammonia".
(1) Many people object to the word "kills".
(2) Where, on the Dry Fusion site does it say that "Bactoshield kills ammonia.?
Food for thought.
I love the English language, and I believe that many that speak English would possibly reject your services purely because of the way your site is written.
Like I said, this is only meant to help you, not blast you.
I wish you well in your ventures, and one way to get positive results is to throw your ideas, (ie; your web site) out for constructive criticism, and let your peers tell you what they think would help you better.
Cheers mate,
Shorty.

Cheers Dan and before everyone starts going on about my prices as i know you will haha well just to clarify i'm happy with my prices and in this climate and the area i operate think there fair for the custy and me.

Not knocking your prices, but what constitutes a single room ?
I've done single rooms of 100 sq ft and a 1000 sq ft, does that mean they get it the same price regardless of size ?
That's how I'm reading it ?

iv'e never done any domestic properties were the room was really big and if i thought it classed as a double room i would say when i quoted

Just googled carpet cleaners blackpool and you are charging less than a guy with a rug doctor you have a premium carpet cleaning system that cleans
and stain protects there carpet and has it dry in 30 minutes double your prices get a pro website and shout from the roof tops that you have a system
that cleaner greener and fresher( just my opinion)
Tacca on first page for blackpool

The point I'm making is you're doing yourself out of money,
If you bought a new carpet you wouldn't ask for a carpet for a single room and expect to get a bog standard price, it's by the sq ft or metre and a slightly bigger room can make a heck of a difference in price.
A 4x4 room should give you a third extra on a 3x3 room, visually they may not look much different, but if you don't charge for it your just giving your wages away!
