Pricing guide
Costs are driven by a callout fee plus hourly labour and materials, so the number and size of rugs is a primary factor. Heavy staining, odour remediation or specialist low‑moisture handling for delicate fibres typically increases labour and material needs. A conservative fallback scope is often used when details are missing or the fibre/colourfastness is unknown.
Number and size of rugs
More or larger rugs usually require more labour time and materials, increasing the overall scope.
Stain severity and odour
Deep or longstanding stains and persistent odours often need pre‑treatment, enzyme products or multiple extraction passes.
Rug fibre and colourfastness
Delicate, antique or unknown fibres typically need gentler, specialist approaches and conservative handling assumptions.
Cleaning method required
Standard wet extraction is usually quicker, while low‑moisture or specialist restoration methods take longer and use different materials.
Timing and after-hours attendance
Work done outside normal hours or requiring urgent attendance may carry different labour considerations and affect the final quote.
Estimated range
