Pricing guide

Price variation is driven by the basic call‑out and labour time plus whether you need a standard or deep treatment. Standard work typically uses one hot‑water extraction pass with light spot treatment, while deep regimes add pre‑treatment, repeat extraction, specialist chemistry and possibly drying equipment or extra technician time. Items excluded from standard profiles — such as enzyme odour remediation, underlay replacement or off‑site rug work — can increase the overall scope required.

  • Carpet soil level and odour presence

    Heavily soiled carpets or persistent odours typically require deeper regimes, extra pre‑treatment and repeat extraction passes.

  • Standard versus deep treatment

    A standard clean usually involves one hot‑water extraction pass and light spot treatment, while deep cleaning adds specialist chemistry and extra passes.

  • Area size and number of rooms

    Larger or multiple rooms increase the labour hours and materials required, extending the job duration.

  • Need for drying equipment or time

    Deep cleaning or wetter processes may need drying aids and additional drying time, which affects how long technicians work on site.

  • Underlay condition and off‑site rugs

    Contaminated underlay or rugs needing off‑site transport are generally outside the standard service and can add extra work or scope.

Frequently asked questions

Do carpet cleaners need a licence?
Carpet cleaning is generally an unlicensed trade; providers typically do not require a formal licence for standard cleaning work. Check directly with any provider if you need reassurance about their experience and insurance.
What does a standard carpet clean include?
A standard clean typically includes one hot‑water extraction pass, light spot treatment and a deodoriser and assumes routine synthetic‑fibre carpet with standard access. It usually does not include enzyme odour remediation, underlay removal or off‑site rug transport.
Will deep cleaning remove all stains and odours?
Deep cleaning and specialist chemistries can often reduce or remove heavy soiling and persistent odours, but they may not fully remove permanent dye or oil stains. If underlay is contaminated, replacement may be necessary and is not included in the standard deep‑clean profile.
How does drying affect the job schedule?
Drying time typically depends on the treatment intensity and whether drying equipment is used; deep regimes may require drying aids and extra time. Your provider can advise if they plan to use drying equipment or schedule follow‑up visits.
