Carpet Cleaning in Stanley

Cleaning carpets in Stanley
Stanley and the villages around it - Annfield Plain, South Moor, Craghead, Catchgate, New Kyo - were built around pits, and the terraces they left behind share a layout. There is often no hall worth the name. The front door opens into the living room and the stairs rise straight out of it, sometimes behind a door, sometimes not.
That makes the staircase the single hardest-working piece of carpet in the house. It takes the traffic a hall would normally absorb as well as its own, it gets it on a narrow tread, and it gets it from people turning on the spot at the bottom. Nine times out of ten it is the worst carpet in the building.
Stairs are hand work. We clean them tread by tread with a small upholstery-style tool rather than dragging a wand down them, working the front edge of each nose where the wear concentrates. It takes longer than a room of the same area, and at £35 for the flight it is still the best value job on our list.

Stanley questions
The things people in Stanley ask us most often.
Can you clean stairs that open straight into the living room?
Yes, that layout is normal round here. We clean the flight by hand, tread by tread, and keep moisture controlled so nothing runs down onto the floor at the bottom. Stairs £35, landing £20 if there is one.
What about the worn front edge of each step?
That edge is where we spend most of the time. It is where grit collects and where the pile is thinnest, so it gets the pre-spray and the dwell time. If a nose is worn through rather than dirty we will say so.
Does your price list cover Stanley and the pit villages around it?
The same prices apply across all of DH9 - Annfield Plain, South Moor, Craghead, Catchgate, New Kyo, Quaking Houses, Tanfield Lea, Harelaw, Oxhill and Shield Row. Nothing added for travel.
Is it worth doing just the stairs on their own?
The minimum charge is £50, so stairs alone would not quite make sense. Stairs and the living room at £75, or stairs with a bedroom at £65, are the usual ways people pair it up.
