Over the last few months I've slowly been working on my website on evenings / weekends.

http://www.vortexcleaning.co.uk

I think its coming along fine but have a look see what you think

Only looked at a few pages but looks very good

The 'extreme cleaning'.

Why don't you get a cracking website made up for that alone? Its a specialist side to the business and deserves its own website.


If those pictures are of your work you deserve a medal.

The site looks great. One criticism, I live in a fairly rural location and as such my internet connection is pretty poor (1-2MB/s). Most sites run along fine but yours is very slow, I think it must be the volume (and size) of pictures.

BTW, the extreme cleaning looks like utter hell.

[Ashley Brothwood]

thanks yes we do have one for the extreme side

http://www.vortexextremecleaning.co.uk/

its only got the same information at the first website but when i have time I'm going to edit it to include much more information.

Yes i have noticed the load up times, i have tried to condense the images as much as possible but i think they may need to be done again as they do sometimes take a while to load. It could be due to having them on slides but when i learn how to ill add cookies to speed repeat users up.

Looks good, but I think you need someone to look over your grammar (e.g. "Human faeces are very unpleasant").

Replace 'are' with 'is and drop the 'very' ('very' is a naff  adverb).  Or use another.

This sounds better to me; understated and more profeshunal:

"Human faeces is unpleasant"

But even then, maybe you're stating the bleeding obvious (unless you've got some kind of extreme kink going on).

[Ashley Brothwood]

yes the wording of the websites isn't great currently but that part is being re-written by another person who is a lot better in grammar. Usually its sometime ill pick up on but i think they'll be a few mistakes throughout the websites.

When you get to explaining the extreme side its pretty self explanatory! Its smelly, dirty work which no one else really wants to do

If you spent a day cleaning out a dead junkies gaff full of the joys of bodily fluids and drug usage paraphernalia how much would you expect to charge the client if there were two of you there the whole day?

Curious more than anything. Id want a big fat one thousand pounds.

I bet they're getting more than that

Put me off my noodles.

For a day you'll probably look at about £500 ish plus vat for labour for two people. Generally all other expenses such as disposal of the needles, other rubbish or anything else will be added on top. A one bed flat may take a day but has taken up to 3 days depending how much rubbish is inside. Its not as bad as you think and a lot of the time its quite interesting piecing together who lives there, if there is post the lads search them on facebook to see what they look like haha the neighbours come out too and tell us about them.
It breaks up the monotony  of doing the same work day in day out

For anyone interested in a hoarder clear up. The bedsit took 2 x 16 yard 6ft high skips and two vans full. This was just from one room, a kitchen and a small bathroom

You must do not of walking. Up and down stairs, in and out of houses.

Is there much of this work about?

[Ashley Brothwood]

i think we do on average 10,000-15,000 steps a day, going up to 25,000 on a block of flats with a lot of walking to the skips but were all young (24-26) and enjoy doing it.

It depends, sometimes we'll get a load in sometimes we just have our other work such as pressure washing and window cleaning. A lot of the time because its more specialized and expensive cleaning landlords and home owners won't want to pay the higher prices and just get one of their mates in to do it cash in hand so a lot of our work comes from housing associations.

I did one of these extreme cleans once.

We had to clean out SeanK's wallet. It was a bio-hazard and a danger to the publics health. He'd been hoarding pre-decimalisation 5 shilling notes, a handful of groats, 3 guineas, half a sovereign and a potato.

Ye we clean a lot of area, window cleaning accounts for probably 15% currently but im looking at expanding this and having a team just to clean windows.
Its a site through wordpress, all the information I've done myself the only cost is the hosting and domain name (about £50 / year)
