Cleaning carpets in Durham
Durham keeps us busy all year. The city centre and the streets climbing away from the peninsula are full of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with narrow staircases, long halls and carpets that see a great deal of traffic — exactly the sort of job hot-water extraction was made for.
A large slice of our Durham work is end-of-tenancy cleaning. Landlords and letting agents around Gilesgate, Crossgate, Claypath and the Viaduct book us between tenancies because a professionally cleaned carpet is usually the difference between a deposit returned and a deposit argued over. We are happy to work to an agent's checklist and can send a receipt for the file.
Out in the newer parts of the city — Newton Hall, Belmont, Bowburn and Brandon — it tends to be family homes: lounges, stairs and landings, bedrooms and the odd sofa. Whatever the property, the pricing is the same honest list you will find on our prices page, with a £50 minimum for the visit.

Durham questions
The things people in Durham ask us most often.
Do you do end-of-tenancy carpet cleaning for student houses in Durham?
Yes, and it is a big part of what we do in Durham. We clean student lets and rented properties across Gilesgate, Claypath, the Viaduct and Nevilles Cross between tenancies. Tell us the number of rooms, stairs and landings when you call and we will give you a firm price before we set off. We can provide a receipt for your landlord or letting agent.
Can you get your machine up to a house on the Durham peninsula?
Yes. Our equipment is portable and we are used to narrow streets, cobbles, steps and limited parking in the older parts of the city. If parking is genuinely difficult on your street, mention it when you book and we will plan around it.
How much does carpet cleaning cost in Durham?
The same as everywhere we work: lounges from £40, dining rooms from £35, bedrooms from £30, hall £20, stairs £35 and landing £20, with a £50 minimum charge for the visit. There is no call-out fee on top for Durham and the surrounding villages.
How long will my carpets take to dry?
Usually between two and four hours with windows open and a bit of airflow. Our hot-water extraction machine pulls most of the moisture straight back out, so you are not left with a soaking wet floor. We will tell you before we leave how long to keep off it.
