We're happy to work further afield if the job is of sufficient size or a travel fee can be agreed upon in advance.

Yes, our minimum charge is £75.

Collins Cleaning Services accepts cash, cheques, card payments or online payment via bank transfer.

Drying times vary depending on the temperature and ventilation of the room and the amount of cleaning solution required to be applied. Typically we expect your carpets to be dry within 4 hours and we expect chairs/sofas to take up to 24 hours to dry.

We do have a dry cleaning method which is suitable for use in situations when colour runs are highly likely (e.g. certain rugs) and may be preferable where the carpets cannot be left to dry for a period of time. Please discuss your circumstances with us, and we will recommend the most appropriate cleaning method for you.

Our full post cleaning/drying instructions are printed on the back of your invoice or you can download our PDF version.

We always do our utmost to completely clean and remove any stains from your home; however, stains can be more or less difficult to remove depending on what has caused the stain, how long the stain has been present before cleaning and what you may have attempted to do yourself before calling us out. While in most instances we are successful in removing stains presented to us, we cannot guarantee to remove any stain, and our fees will still apply in the event we are unsuccessful.

Our charges are based on the total amount of time and materials we expect to require to complete the job, which will include factors such as the floor area to be cleaned, the amount of furniture present and staining/stain removal treatments or special requirements. We can typically agree a price with our customers before attending your premises, although for some types of work, a site survey/visit may be required. For typical examples of our prices, please visit our prices page.

We aim to provide our customers with a first-class service which in our opinion includes being available to work at times which suit your requirements. We are therefore available to work at weekends and overnight if required by prior agreement with you.

We offer prices which represent good value to our customers for the level of service provided. Our aim is to quote you a fair price for the work performed. For this reason, we do not negotiate with customers in respect of price. We do, however, sometimes run promotions for business reasons, which are advertised on our website, Facebook and Twitter feeds so please check these regularly if you are looking for a bargain.
