Appointment Arrival Information:

As there is no way to precisely determine the duration of each appointment, our scheduling operates on arrival time slots rather than specific times. Please take note of the following:

   • If you have booked an AM slot, our team will arrive at any time between 9:00am and 1:00pm.

BBQ Cleaning:

We are happy to clean BBQ’s at any time of the year. If we are cleaning out of the spring/summer season, dependant on the weather, we may require the BBQ to be placed under cover (an awning or in your garage etc). During a BBQ cleaning, it is hard not to make a mess and as such, we ask for it to be placed in an area that is not prone to marking or staining. This could be on your grass or on a groundsheet. We are happy to clean them wherever is convenient for you, however we accept no responsibilty for any marks or stains caused during the cleaning process.

Please note, BBQ cleaning involves us cleaning the cooking area (including original racks) and the outside of the the BBQ only, this does not include any drawers or cupboards that it may be set into.

Carpet Cleaning:

• Carpets must be in a cleanable condition, fitted down with grippers, and not rolling or coming away from the walls.
• Advanced stain removal and heavy dirt must be discussed in advance and is not included in the price, unless agreed in advance of our arrival.
• We are unable to move furniture, should you wish to have carpets cleaned beneath furniture, please ensure you have cleared the area in advance of our arrival.
• If you have not booked for the pre-vacuum, this must be carried out prior to our arrival.
• Our carpet cleaning process includes some or all of the following steps depending on your cleaning needs:
  • Carpet inspection for stains and damage.
  • Thorough pre-vacuum if requested.
  • Application of pre-spray treatment across carpets, allowed to dwell.
  • Use of our CRB brush to break down soil if necessary.
  • Utilization of our wet extraction machine to flush out remaining dirt from the carpet.
  • Recommendation to open windows for gentle airflow during the drying process.

Stain Treatments:

Any stains, marks or smells you are trying to resolve, must be brought to our attention at time of booking.

Whilst we will endeavour to remove these during the initial clean, sometimes they will require additional treatments. If this is the case, these treatments will be looked at and charged additionally to the clean itself.

With any stains or smells, although every effort will be made to remove them, we cannot guarantee they will be resolved, but any treatments carried out will be charged at the agreed rate irrespective of the results.

Carpet Repairs:

For all carpet repairs, you must speak to us first prior to booking on 0800 999 1037. We need to assess the damage and make sure you have what we need in order to carry out the correct repair for you. If an appointment is agreed with yourself and we attend the property, but are unable to carry out the repair for any reason outside of our control, the appointment will still be fully chargeable.

More often than not, most repairs will end up with a patch replacing the damaged area. Whilst you may not always be able to see where a carpet has been patched, this service is classed as betterment and not an invisble repair.

To carry out a patch repair, we will require a piece of donor carpet to be supplied by you. This can be from an offcut you have left over or it can be taken from an inconspicuous area like a cupboard or from under furniture that you do not move around. Without this, we are unable to help and any appointments made without confirming spare carpet will be cancelled.
