Did my first leather clean and protect today.

Cream pigmented 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 suite, filthy !

Took 4 hours, charged £ 320.

Thats paid for my LTT training course and my day out at Paul's the other week, so all profit from now on !

Rather clean leather than upholstery any day.

[Mike Osbourne]

That's a real baptism Steve, as you say all profit now.

How did you find the LTT course compared to the school of Moss?

I went to Pauls and was well impressed, just need an old chair to practice on now

Mike - thats another one in the club!

Glad I went to Paul's first as I wasn't out of my depth on the first day of LTT.

I think with anything if you learn how to do it by the book, so to speak, then you can be a little more cavalier - no offence Paul    safe in the knowledge that you know how to get out of trouble if things go belly up !

Searching for an old chair too mate.

i did the iicrc ltt last time it was on, thinking of doing the day 2 ltt in leeds, bit more to it than just strong and maxi. scuffs and pen marks. enjoyed it and want to know more.

Steve, well done. 

See guys £320 for cleaning a leather suite ( granted a big one) but it just goes to show you can get good bucks if you try.

Mike I hope you are quoting £150 now !!!

[Mike Osbourne]

Too right Joe.

Paul, only done one leather quote since last post and went £150, they're getting back to me. This has got my goat a bit so I will find a way. These were middle income new estates I've been trying.

[Steve Barnett (Carpet Care Plus)]

Have decided to base my leather prices on £ 40 per seat area.

Took a bit of a flyer with this one, but it cost over 3 grand and hadn't been cleaned in the 3 years they have owned it.

Steve

[*paul_moss]

Steve, thats not a flyer mate, thats thought through correctly with the info gathered from your custy.
You came up with the right price, could have may be got another £55 maybe but hey every body is happy.

[Kev Loomes]

Well done Steve - beats lugging out the hoses eh

[Steve Barnett (Carpet Care Plus)]

Yeah I was happy with that Paul, am going back on Friday morning to clean the Lounge and Playroom carpet - so the whole job came to £455.

Chucked in 15m2 of protector for the Lounge free of charge, so everybody wins

Just got to get myself a good leather website like your Kev 

[Kev Loomes]

LOL

[*paul_moss]

I think Kev looks very fetching in is apron 

[Mike Osbourne]

That's a nice site that Kev.

That brown suite on the right is it a two tone that just lost colour on some panels for no reason?

[Steve Barnett (Carpet Care Plus)]

That picture of you Kev - reminds me I must wear latex gloves next time, one of the products I used today made the skin on my wrist flake off !

[mark shannon]

All Kev's sites are good with some very clever SEO.

Unfortunately hes only about 10miles from me 

[Joe H]

Good website Kev.

I like the pinny and gloves. Makes the customer think they are getting something "special" - which they are.

[Kev Loomes]

Paul

You naughty boy - that reminds me, I actually need to wear full overalls, flipping pigment gets everywhere!

Mike

Well spotted, the brown sofa is not one of mine unfortunately (when I get some more of my own I will replace ). It is an aniline though so probably just had a re-dye in the affected area.

Steve

What on earth did you use for your skin to come off! You have me worried now LOL.

Mark

You are a gent sir. The sites have good SEO done by myself as have the sites themselves. Hard work but I quite enjoy it. I know we are fairly local but your not my neighbour - and there is plenty of work for all of us so all cool

Joe

Cheers for the comment, I hope they think its special!
