Prices
Priced per room, agreed on the phone and not changed on the doorstep. A bedroom is £36, a living room £43. Rugs, sofas and mattresses can join the same visit, because the machine is already in the house.

Working in Twickenham
Around 59 per cent of Twickenham's housing predates 1960 and the age shows in the floors: Victorian terraces close to the town centre and through St Margarets, Edwardian villas around Marble Hill and the Cambridge Park streets, and 1930s semis filling TW2 towards Whitton and Fulwell. Suspended timber ground floors are the norm in the older streets nearest the river, often with the original boards still in place under the carpet and a ventilated void beneath. The newer layer is riverside apartment schemes at St Margarets and around the town centre with underfloor heating and screeded floors, which behave completely differently when they get wet.
On stadium event days the Twickenham Event Day Controlled Parking Zone, the R Zone, covers streets across TW1 and TW2 and is run jointly by Richmond and Hounslow, operating 11am to 11pm with all restrictions enforced, so an afternoon job on a match day needs the household's free visitor permit arranged in advance.
Away from event days, Richmond's CPZs use short control windows rather than all-day charging, so parking legality on a given street changes within the working day rather than at six o'clock.
The Victorian and Edwardian suspended timber floors near the river sit over damp voids, and over-wetting a carpet on those boards pulls moisture up rather than drying down, so extraction has to be run drier than in a modern flat.
The water here is hard, which makes no difference to the extraction rinse. What slows drying in these houses is closed trickle vents, so we open windows while we work.
What we get called out for
Rooms and hallways
Hot water extraction, walk-on dry in a couple of hours. Traffic lanes are the usual reason we are rung.
Stairs and landings
The hardest-worked carpet in the house, done tread by tread with a hand tool.
Rugs
Cleaned flat on a groundsheet, dyes tested first. Delicate fibres get a low-moisture clean.
Sofas and chairs
Upholstery tool at lower pressure, fabric code checked before anything gets wet.
