Carpet Cleaning in Bordesley Green

One door, one hall and one steep flight in a B9 terrace

Traffic is concentrated in a very small area in all three cases. A terrace has one front door, one narrow hallway and one steep flight, so every journey through the house crosses the same strip of pile. A communal landing takes the same thing multiplied by the number of flats. A waiting room takes whatever comes off a busy pavement in wet weather, straight onto the carpet, from people who have no reason to wipe their feet first. In every case a vacuum lifts the top layer and leaves the rest suspended in the pile, which is what dulls the colour and what hot water extraction is actually for.

• One narrow hallway and one steep flight taking every movement through a B9 terrace
• Communal stairs and landings in the maisonette blocks carrying residents and visitors to several flats at all hours
• Waiting room and reception carpet near Heartlands taking wet-weather grit straight off the pavement
• Tenancy wording in B9 that calls for carpets to be professionally cleaned, with proof asked for at check-out
• Cheap heavy-duty carpet in communal and let properties, which needs testing before anything wet goes near it

Dry soil first, then a pre-spray given time to work

Dry soil is taken out first, and taken out properly, because putting water into a pile full of dry grit simply turns it to mud. A pre-spray goes down next, brushed through the fibres and then left alone while it breaks the greasy soiling apart, and that idle stretch of time is where the outcome is really decided. Marks get their own treatment instead of being swept up in the general pass. Extraction follows, using a compact hand tool on any staircase, since a terrace flight is too steep and narrow for a full-width head. Air movers go on afterwards wherever a floor has to be back in use to a deadline.

• Colour-fastness tested in a corner before anything else, which matters on the budget carpet fitted in communal and let properties
• Communal flights taken in sections, so no resident is ever without a route to their own door
• Air movers run on commercial floors so a practice or office opens on a dry carpet
• A hand tool used on stairs, since the tread and riser on a terrace flight will not take a full-width head

Communal flights, terrace halls and waiting rooms

Domestic bookings are spread through the terraced streets around the hospital and generally combine the hall, stairs and landing in a single visit. Block work is arranged with the managing agent, usually mid-morning when the flats are quietest, and we agree beforehand which flights are done on which day. Commercial carpet near Heartlands is cleaned within our hours, Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 6pm, so the practical slot is a day or an afternoon when the practice is closed, with air movers to speed the drying. Access is the constant here: few drives and a busy kerb near the hospital, so the unit and hoses are carried in from wherever the van ends up. Bordesley Green is covered on set days, so booking ahead is the way to get your date.

Rooms, staircases and the floor price in B9

Domestic work is priced per room and per staircase, with a floor price, since getting the machine off the van and set up takes as long for one room as for four, which is why most people combine the hall, stairs and landing. Communal work is quoted per visit for the whole block, so every flight is done on the same visit. Commercial floors are priced on area and frequency. Heavy soiling and individual mark work add time and we say so when quoting.

Yearly for a terrace hall and flight

Every twelve months for a terrace hallway and flight, because a single route through a busy house absorbs more in twelve months than a quiet household manages in three years. Communal stairs and landings in the blocks usually suit twice a year, with the busiest entrances done more often if the agent wants it. Waiting rooms and receptions are worth doing a couple of times a year, timed after winter. Bedrooms and back rooms in these houses will comfortably stretch to two years.
