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.

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.

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 :( ::) ::) ::)

Would BBC Watchdog not be interested in that company, especially if there is a Dwarf involved.
