Cleaning carpets in Benson
Benson lies right beside the Thames with an RAF station on the edge of it, so the work here splits two ways. There is ordinary riverside domestic work in the older part of the village, and there is a steady run of whole-house cleans for families arriving on a posting or leaving at the end of one. The second sort is nearly always an empty house, which is much the easiest kind to do properly.
An empty floor cleans edge to edge. Nothing has to be worked around or dragged about, the corners and the backs of the rooms get exactly the same attention as the middle, and the whole thing dries faster with the doors open and no furniture holding damp against it. If you have any choice at all in the timing, book us for after the removal van has gone rather than before it arrives.
The river is the thing to allow for otherwise. Air close to the Thames holds more moisture, particularly through the autumn, and a carpet that would be dry by teatime a few miles inland can want the whole evening here. We make extra dry passes and we will tell you honestly what to expect rather than quoting a figure that sounds better on the phone.

Benson questions
The things people in Benson ask us most often.
Does being this close to the Thames slow the drying down?
A little, especially in autumn. Two to four hours to touch dry still applies, but leave internal doors open and get air moving through. We make extra dry passes on riverside properties here as a matter of course.
What can you do about a musty smell in a downstairs room?
Find the cause first. Musty usually means something has been damp for a while - a spill under a rug, a slow leak, or a carpet somebody else over-wetted. Cleaning only helps once the source of the moisture has gone, and we will say so.
Which Benson postcode area do you work in?
All of OX10, which takes in Ewelme, Crowmarsh Gifford, Preston Crowmarsh, Roke, Berrick Salome, Shillingford, Warborough, North Stoke and Wallingford itself. There is no travel charge and no call-out fee anywhere inside it, village or town.
How much would four bedrooms and a landing cost?
£140 at our standard prices - £30 for each bedroom and £20 for the landing. Add the stairs at £35 and the hall at £20 and the whole upstairs plus the route to it comes to £195.
