Geoff it will get people to ring him either way so then he has the chance to sell.Size isn't the biggest consideration as I found out yesterday in a heavily furnished small 2 bed flat in central Oxford in the run up to Christmas............Alan

The point been,  no limit advertised so in theory a customer could request 2 carpets no matter what size and ask for pay only £35.00  ::)roll 

I doubt it how ever.

He might be on the dole gets 2 of these jobs a day and makes an extra £350 a week tax free on top of his dole and benefits,

He might also do a small living room and hallway as 2 rooms, I bet the people who live in big posh houses who would have huge rooms don't call him.

To be honest I wish him all the success in the world, if he wants to clean 2 carpets for £35 then good luck to him.

It won't effect my business in the slightest, the people who would call him in response to that offer I don't want to call me anyhow.

Just like I wouldn't respond to a advert to have my van serviced for £45,

I've got a guy advertising £55 for any 3 rooms who lives somewhere in sheffield, I'm not sure about his terms and conditions but it makes no difference to me, customers I have or look for don't want or use or even trust these cheap prices not that I adversely advertise against him but it's about common sense and trust.

£25 and then £10 per carpet thereafter? I bet he poor quality equipment. Probably not insured. Surely these cheapskates won't stay in business long. They certainly don't deserve to be.

One from down here-

A visit from KJM Spotless trained employee using the Rug Doctor Pro will release that ingrained dirt and help maintain the original look, fresh smell and feel of your carpet.

I bet it f*****g will

I think the rug  Doctor Wide Track is ideal for £30 room type operations   

Light enough you can have a woman out there for ££7 an hour in old Fiesta with go faster stripes and still make £15 a room

Times that by say 10 operatives  sit at home all day booking the calls

I had one on my timeline on FB advertising any 3 rooms for £50.
I took the p*ss and wrote that I had 3 rooms in 3 separate houses and did the deal still stand.
Gobsmacked he replied yes as long as they weren't too far away from each other.
Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.

They have been going a few years now so I presume they have a reasonable customer satisfaction level
