Small 2 bed flat,which cost them nigh on a grand a month too rent,quoted this one over the phone (Big mistake) When he first opened the door the smell hit me,overpowering to say the least,none of the windows were open,it was sweltering,first thing i did was go into every room and open all the windows.
Then took a look at the carpets,thought about walking,said it will be £40 more than i quoted,either that or i walk,he looked at me like i was taking the pee and asked why,i explained that it was far more grotty than he made out on the phone,and that even after i have cleaned them,the agency would prob want them replacing,he was under the impression it would all be ok as he has 2 small kids ! Not sure where he got that from..Pics don`t really show the full extent of the muck











Have since called the agency and explained the situ,don`t want them thinking i am crap !! They have already had problems with him so it`s all ok

[derek west]

i'm absolutely amazed, not sure how you did it, the word gobsmacked springs to mind, how on earth did you get all them pictures on one post.

[M.Acorn]

Ha Ha ,what with my buggered machine and everything !!
Host them on photo bucket,link too this site (But i am sure you prob knew that already 

[justin brown]

looks like you done a reaaly good job judging by the photos! what type of carpet was it and what did you use?

[M.Acorn]

It was polly prop,but an expensive ish one,used Multi pro strong,then fib and fab,did get a good going over with the sebo,been using the new version of the Multi pro for a while,and finding i am getting good results,used some solvex on the pen,but most of it came out after extracting....

[Steve. Taylor]

Thought that machine of yours was no good with them results you should get another 10 years out of it

[clinton]

Good job done there mark i must say..

About another 15 years i recken

[M.Acorn]

Re the machine,it`s like triggers broom,the main case and tanks etc ,are the only bit`s that are original,another 25 years and it will be time too retire,in my dreams !!

Must have got the pressure relief valve set right now,took a bit of trial and error yesterday,mainly error,as all the wiring is sat right next to the valve,so had to hair dryer it dry,then spray on some wd40,bad design in my honest opinion,going to get some sort of junction box,and put it in there..

[Steve. Taylor]

Mark the way i see it is like this 2 bins 1 for clean water 1 for dirty your pump is like the exhaust on a car goes in time your vac motors are the tyres they wear out in time also.

You have to work a little slower but you get the job done so fair play to ya. good job mate.

[M.Acorn]

Exactly,both vacs were replaced prob 6 months or so now,and have a good spare vac,pump is an ongoing issue,but i have a Surflo that has new end bell put on,as a spare,and also a new spare pump head,so all in all i am prepared for most probs,can do all of this on site,within mins,had so much flipping practice over the last 6 years,have invested quite a bit over the last few months,but i am earning good money from the machine so it`s cool.

Amazing job, well done

[M.Acorn]

Aw thanks !!

This was a bit unscrupulous of me,but i sent the letting agent these pics too.They have been in touch this morning,saying thanks,turns out they had asked the tenants to leave,they now want all my details,as they were also impressed with how clean i got them !!

[John Kelly]

Nowt unscrupulous about that Mark, its called marketing.

[clinton]

True mark get in into your portfolio and its a great selling point..

[M.Acorn]

Need to get one put together Clinton,don`t have anything with before and after pics,should do really,as i have some crackers 

[M.Acorn]

Fantastic,just booked my first job with the new agency !  That will be 3 letting agents on the books now

[derek west]

quoted one today mark with a letting agents, honestly, 10 times worse, will get pictures once the painters have been in. not sure about the results yet but fingers crossed.

[M.Acorn]

Good luck with that one then !

[derek west]

normally very confident but i think i'll need it on this one mark, seen some mingers but this wipes the floor with all of them.

[derek west]

pictures don't show the full extent as usual but 100% results, owner nearly fell over.
