it might be someone starting out and doesnt know prices, or just trying to get a load of work, it must work if he is in a house doing it, might not make a lot of money  but could be on dole

[Mike Halliday]

did a quote tonight LR, DR & a BR I quoted £140 (lots of stains and furniture to move) a local company who have been trading 20yrs (10yrs as a Chemdry franchise) told them over the phone £77, they must be stupid, I feel like ringing them and telling them too stop being such idiots.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I agree with the pricing issues we have but it may depend on how he's priced it, over the phone the sizes quoted to him may be smaller than you may have seen and he may not have seen or been told about the stains.

Roughly how big were the rooms? (I know you don't price that way)

quoted £140.oo yesterday and lady said she had a lot lower quotes starting at £70, half my price, could be bothered to try and sell, don't need these custards

[dave123]

There is a company in Kent not far from me and those are the sort of prices he charges .He has 3 guys working for him they do 5 jobs a day each .He pays them 35% of the weeks takings . The cleaners average £680?week and he takes the rest .He drives a Porsche and lives in a £1 million  house .Not bad for a cheapie is it 

[richy27]

I have noticed a few little ads in local rags 2 carpets for 25 quid or carpet cleaning from £19. I spent all morning in one room with a carpet and 3 ps while they while they were obviously cleaning 16 rooms LOL .

 

[derek west]

everybody on here slags off price shoppers, i don't.

derek

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Everyone slags of cheap prices but they fill a part of the market, are cheap cleaners as good? probably not as through, you know the little bits what some customers like to see and that's why they choose someone more expensive and prefer the little extras.

It used to bother me but not anymore.
Today:
"How much to clean a one bed back to back property?"
"EOT is it?"
"Yes"
"That'll be £90 which includes the vat and you get a letter for your agent to say it's been professionally cleaned etc etc"
"That's far too much, a friend only paid £50 and she has an identical property"
"Well contact your friend for that cleaner because that is what we charge...bye"
  

[Joe H]

If a friend got it done for £50, they must have rang you hoping to get it for less. 

[Ian Gourlay]

I wonder if its like the Airlines over Book each day to make sure you do not get an empty seat.

When I did Double Glazing the theory was have more apointments than you can handle.


So these£15 or half price guys move funiture.

Do you all move beds etc

I somtimes think the should be a Very   Very Fastrack Course where they teach this method of operation

[clinton]

The local papers here are full of adverts offering half price carpet cleaning an some have been going for a while :
