Carpet Cleaning
If you’re sick of looking at the same tired, old carpet then it is time for a refresh. No, we don’t mean installing a brand-new carpet, instead, having your carpet cleaned can add a new lease of life to your home. Professional carpet cleaners can get your carpet looking brand new using steam cleaning which can take out even the most stubborn of stains and dirt.
How much does it cost to have a Carpet Professionally Cleaned?
Carpet cleaning is a cheaper and quicker option than having a new carpet installed and can look as good as new in no time. Like most projects, the cost of carpet cleaning depends on the area that needs cleaning and the size of the space. Smaller rooms such as single bedrooms can cost between £20 to £40 whereas a double bedroom can cost up to £50. You will find that most homes in the UK have carpet on the stairs and in the hallway. These areas can get dirty easy due to heavy foot traffic especially if you have kids and pets. The cost for cleaning carpets on stairs can range from £2 a step or if the hallway is included, between £85 to £100. Some cleaning companies will charge an hourly rate if there is a large amount of carpet to clean. Depending on the company, hourly rates can range between £60 to £120.
If you are looking to get either a full flat or house carpet clean, then here are the estimated costs: a 1-bedroom flat £100 -£170, 2-bedroom flat £120 - £220, 3-bedroom terraced house £190- £300, 4-bedroom terraced house £250 -£350.
What can affect the cost of a Professional Carpet Cleaning?
Although a rough price will be quoted before the job, there can be unexpected costs that can be added due to many factors. The type of carpet could affect the cost as some carpets may need specialised treatment and care such a silk carpet where the colour may run using the traditional steaming methods. Any added upholstery cleaning will come at an added cost which can range between £15 to £100 depending on the upholstery that needs cleaning. Of course, one of the main reasons for additional costs is the condition of the carpet. For carpets with tougher stains, it will take longer to clean the carpet. To avoid these additional costs, make sure to let the tradesperson you hire know about any stains and the carpet you have so that they can give you a true, accurate quote with no further hidden surprise costs along the way.
