Cleaning carpets in Godmanchester
Godmanchester was a Roman town on Ermine Street long before Huntingdon existed across the river, and the older part of it is Georgian and earlier: tall sash windows, thick walls, wide floorboards and staircases built before anybody had thought about fitted carpet. Portholme Meadow is on its doorstep. Period property needs a different approach from a modern house.
Older floors are the reason we control moisture so carefully. Wide boards with gaps between them let water straight through to the joists, and lime plaster and old skirtings do not forgive a soaking. So we use less water than people expect, more suction than they expect, and we keep the edges in particular from getting wet. Slow and dry beats fast and damp in a house like this.
The carpets themselves are often wool, sometimes old, and occasionally not worth cleaning at all. If a backing has gone brittle or a seam is on the point of going we say so before we start rather than afterwards. Being straight with you about what will and will not come back is most of this job, particularly in old houses.

Godmanchester questions
The things people in Godmanchester ask us most often.
Is it safe to clean carpet laid over old floorboards?
Yes, with care. We keep water volume low and suction high so very little gets past the backing, and we work the edges gently. Gapped boards are a reason to use less water, not a reason to avoid cleaning.
Can you tell me whether an old carpet is worth cleaning?
We will look and say honestly. Age on its own is fine, and many old wool carpets come up beautifully. A brittle backing, failing seams or bare patches are different, and we will not take money for something that cannot improve.
Is Godmanchester treated separately from Huntingdon?
It shares PE29 with Huntingdon and we cover both exactly the same way, along with Hartford, Brampton, the Offords, Hemingford Abbots, Fenstanton and Buckden. No travel charge across any of that area.
Just how much water goes into the carpet?
Damp rather than wet. Most of the water goes back into the machine on the same pass. Touch dry in two to four hours in clean socks, fully dry by the evening with doors open and some air moving.
