[carpetclean]

pileprofile YOU GOT IT IN ONE I like to spill paint and offer to clean for a small fee !!!!
Both businesses are linked as i was often asked to recommend a carpet cleaner. you will be suprised at how many people clean carpets after decoration. So I though sod this rather than pass on work i looked in to it and set up the carpet cleaning. i did all the required courses which i think is a must for anyone starting out from scratch. its too early to say which is most profitable as at the moment my decorating is paying for the equipment and training  of the carpets. i have done quite a few jobs and people are very happy. almost every one i decorate for i get me  to clean their carpets so i have a ready client base as peoplei i decorate for have deloped a relationship and trust. i can earn quite good money decorating as i am very quick, unlike the carpet cleaning as i want to impress i take my time ,  we all need experience to develop speed with out compromise to quality. so  i will answer your question again in a years time. what i have noticed though is that the old clients from decorating who trust me , after cleaning their carpets and happily pay me usually comment on the poor quality of the previous cleaner and especially the expense. im not saying for one minute all c/cs are in the bad rogue league but like decorating i think its full of chancers that gives us all a bad name and lack of trust from the clients. its up to the likes of people on this forum to change the way the people who have been stung think and put their trust back in to the true professional

[cleaning co]

yes craig in my eyes its peice of cake 

[cleaning co]

hers one for every one to chew over,done job other day,and custy was telling me she had it done the year before by firm that charge her 3 times what i charged her , but it wasnt that what botherd her so much it was the fact that i got it done for her in hour or so to a standerd she was more than happy with,it was the fact they were their all day and after half day she just wanted them to p off !!!

Hi Guys,

One thing that doesn't get much of a mention in these pricing threads is how much time is taken on quoting.

If a job takes an hour to quote including travelling then you have to take that into consideration as time on the overall job.

E.g 1 Hour to qoute  , 2 hours to do job Price £150

Money per hour £50 not £75.

Cheers

Doug

Gary ,

You must be the fastest CC in Essex

Hopefully did my LAST job this morning

Commercial low profile tiles, I decided to Charlie Pad, WOW took me 2 hours 20 minutes and I charged £325.00, got rid of every stain and mark, I could not believe my eyes. : : :

I quoted for the job last September, should I have charged another £75.00 for the extra Muck

There could me some money in this'ere Low Moisture Cleaning

[the red carpet]

cleaning co,
have to say i agree with a lot of what you say
dont know how you manage h/s/l 2 beds and lounge in under a hour you must be quick, i would book that in for about 3 and a half hours, (half a day)

i would charge about £170 normal but as im doing special offer leaflets at the minute about the same as you.

i would fit two of these in a day and earn £250-£300 i think myself that thats good money,
i cant think of any other way to earn that sort of money from home with very little training and with just a couple of grand investment.

i charge h/s/l £60 lounge £38 through lounge £60 bedroom- single £35, double-£38, upholstery £20 a seat

[cleaning co]

it all depens on how u were first shown to clean carpets  1 the bullpoop way  or 2  the real world way
