It does Shaun..... I very rarely have to sell the service, and the only ones that I generally don't get after being contacted, are those that really are price shopping, and after the cheapest... which I am not any more... my prices have quadrupled in the last 3 years since going wholly LM.

Mikes have not gone up much more over the last 11 years



Paul thats brilliant :D

considering that's over 10yrs ago!! there are people charging that now.

Just Looking at it....... my prices have gone up by about 80% the carpets are about double minus aprox £10 the suite minus £20

Still being very quite about your prices  ;)

Flipping eck!! There's some old flames on there, didn't Mark Betts go into pornographic photography?

Noticed Dave lee isn't dead yet! Lol

Sound to me as if Paul has no work on that's why he complaineth about others pricing structures.

Hi Guys

It is incredibly frustrating for those short of work to see others doing work for beer money.

Our industry is virtually zero entry, cheap machine off eBay chuck it in the back of a car, you are a carpet cleaner.

We will never stop that but there are plenty of decent customers out there.

Michelin star restaurants don't target MacDonald's customers and they do very well.

Cheers

Doug

I have spoke to a few carpet cleaners working in big cities recently and they have all said that it's being saturated in those areas by Eastern Europeans working for absolute peanuts and it has had a massive affect on work coming in.  >:(

Not happened in my area yet thankfully.

I reply to texts and Facebook enquiries with a 'basic' response because, let's face it, they're just after cheap.  We can all tell the genuine enquiries at the end of the day.
