bargain lol
-
i really dont understand why people bother to go into business to earn less than they would on minimum wage, they should be dealt with accordingly, nigel will last about 2 months
-
35 bucks for a suite, is this a record?! Lowest I've seen round here is 45.
Can anyone beat that? Who could possibly knock Nigel off top spot (or bottom spot)?
Keep your eyes peeled chaps :)
-
wonder if i can sub contract him for my jobs :) i'll just sit at home.

Any one fancy giving him a call ;)
would love to know his methods, equipment etc.

Incidentally, one cleaner just down the road from me has a Yell.com enhanced listing and he's advertising bargain basement prices.

On a side note, I'm very tempted to give AB Cleaning a call and ask them to eliminate my neighbour's dog that keeps barking ;D
-
Classy advert though!
-
Perhaps they are called First Clean for a reason!
First and Last.

This is cheap £30 for a 3pc suite or 3pc suite and 3 bed full house clean for £70
-
dont think id let him in my house for that price
-
Mark I think you have posted that before but I was working in the far north of teh empire today Norton in Doncaster near Wakefield and while I was waiting for the custy to come off the phone to pay me I had a quick squiny in the local rag and it was full of them.
I'd love the NCCA to get organised and sort a proficient system out so professional cleaning would be well documented.

What I don't understand is say they show a suite a handtool and hardly touch it then present a bill, people must be just accepting that's the best that can be done and cough up.
Or do they say that's a poope job on yer way? :-\
-
I just love it when it says "all work guaranteed" lol
Oh you could have a lot of fun trying to work out what is meant by that.
Guaranteed to be bad, perhaps?
And how does one go about claiming on the guarantee?
-
there needs to be a minimum industry standard put in place
-
do u think this is cheap.look at this guy how much it's charging.that's what i need to beat around this area.and when i think that some of my prices are double then this guys.
-
I know I guy in Colchester who charges 80p per sq ft so a terraced room is = £120.00 Saul Cornwall.Isn't that your area?
Shaun
-
The leaflet above does say all room sizes a maximum of 100sq ft, so that price rockets once he is in the door, maybe not as daft as it looks!
-
i really don't understand why you think your competing against his prices, if you snap out of that mentality and put a price on your own performance then he's not in your league. like ive said in previous posts, rolls royce don't poop them selves when a new scoda is launched.

I think its a shame for Nigel :'(
Someone should be "looking out for Nigel"
Mike, language. Please.
-
I used to work for a company like this 9 years ago. Its all about add ons. Poor quality BUT 90% of those people who get you in are council estates where its cheap carpet but very dirty. Suites you would stick to if you sat on it.
Long may he continue I say hes welcome to the crap jobs.

corect me if i'm wrong isn't 100ft=30 metres.cheers

If rooms over 100 Sq ft are extra, a small 15 x 12 lounge works out to £25.
Working on this principal i bet a whole small 4 bedroom house works out to £180.
I'm sure their booked over the phone and the surprise of the increase comes later.
I've worked for 2 outfits like this, and with extra sales on top usually banked
£1200 - £1800 a week for them.
If your young enough and fit enough, you can make a lot of money like this, but you will
wear out quickly.
The small price advertised is to get them in the door. Once in a good salesman will invariably
raise the price.
Before getting wise, my best result some 12 years ago, was a lounge booked for £23.50
left with 8 seperate cheques totalling £395, not due to my good salesmanship, but the fact
she loved the results and kept asking "can you do this while your here". recieved several referalls
also.

stop it i'm having a heart attack

Theres a company in our area,with extremely cheap prices.2 week half price sale.Eg bathroom 12.00.But if you read it properly,it says all prices are for standard clean,have you heard about our professional prespay service.Then they get in your house and they talk you into having the prespray,odour control etc.All hidden extras that Joe public knows nothing about.Cheeky monkeys.12.00 BECOMES 30.00.Steve

Lets face they are here and have been for years......ive a guy thats been going for more than 10 years and his prices are the same, he even does work for MARTIN & Co.........ive seen his work and IT IS CRAP.but he makes £100 per day and is happy....
I think that the NCCA is mopre about making money for themself than the industry in a whole.....i was told not to join it in 2000 by a supplier due o the fact you pay every year but will get bugger all in return :( ::) ::) ::)
-
i've been an ncca member for a year, had one job from the site worth 80 quid, i called the ncca to make a complaint about a supplier a few months ago whos registered with them, and they done f**k all, wont be joining next year

I hear he has left the Scarborough area I know he is from manchester he has customers filling his machine and has a right go if you ask for an invoice .he claims to being a carpet cleaner for over 20 years ha ha ha the thing is he has had a lot of work through these leaflets ,he put an ad in the local rag asking for a TRAINEE must have car.he has even asked customers to give him a lift to his next job ,this is the worst cowboy scarborough has ever seen .I have been to try and save 12 suites and 7 i have had to walk away from , he has also cancelled my jobs and turned up we also rang him and asked if thats carpet clean (my business) and said yes what can I do for you, god help any town who has this con man in it >:( >:( >:(
-
Can believe thati have heard about the c cleaner turning up in a taxie and his trainee/assistant was a dwarf :) really :)
-
Would BBC Watchdog not be interested in that company, especially if there is a Dwarf involved.
-
maybe someone should book him in, hes numbers there, wink wink ;)
-
ady again ,in scarborough he was called john and he dropped these leaflets all over paying kids , wife was a bit upset when our next doors lad handed her a leaflet ,had t o giggle ???
-
Heard the dwarf storie as am in cheshire and the manchester area and he operated here in c cleaning :)
-
I reckon the watchdog idea must have some legs mustn't it?
Is this a job for the NCCA?
I expect a result by Tuesday next week :)
-
My girlfriend said to me once I was in for a surprise and there would be the pitter patter of tiny feet around the house soon.
I was relieved to find out that she had hired a dwarf carpet cleaner.
-
After they had finished I said the job wasn't good enough and I wasn't paying.
The dwarf got really irate and said "I'm not happy"
So I said "ahh, you must be Grumpy then"
Shall I stop now ???
-
hahahahahahahaah
-
The dwarf guy used to clean kitchen floors as well with a 3000psi pressure washer.
We called him Linoleum Blownaparte.
