Services
Carpet Cleaning
Our carpet cleaning service utilises patented Wonder Wand technology and eco-friendly solutions to deep clean carpets while ensuring quick drying times of 1-2 hours. We remove embedded dirt and allergens, extending the lifespan of carpets and maintaining a healthier indoor environment. Our process is safe for wool, synthetic fibres, and pet-friendly households.
Oven Cleaning
Professional oven cleaning employs non-caustic, non-toxic solutions to remove grease and carbon deposits, leaving appliances sanitised and ready for immediate use. Our 8-step process includes disassembly, deep cleaning, and reassembly, with optional bulb and hinge replacements. Services cover standard ovens, AGAs, and range cookers.
Upholstery Cleaning
We clean all upholstery types, including leather and delicate fabrics, using gentle yet effective methods that dry within 4-8 hours. Our food-grade, non-residue solutions remove stubborn stains while preserving fabric integrity. Optional stain protection treatments help maintain freshness between cleans.
Fridge Cleaning
High-tech steam cleaning eliminates bacteria and odours from fridges and freezers without requiring defrosting. Our foodsafe solutions sanitise interiors while removing ice build-up, improving appliance efficiency. Insulated coolbags are provided to store food during the 2-hour cleaning process.
Mattress Cleaning
A 7-step sanitisation process removes dust mites, bacteria, and allergens from mattresses using steam extraction and anti-dust mite treatments. This helps alleviate asthma symptoms and extends mattress lifespan. Drying completes within 4 hours, allowing immediate use.

Tim repaired my white leather sofa which had dye transfer from a black cushion. The sofa was cleaned first and Tim took great care to match the off-white colour and the repair was seamless, with the sofa looking like new. Highly recommended

I had a full clean of an electric oven, hob and extractor fan (plus racks and trays etc), and I was very pleased with the service. Tom and Connor arrived on time and had the job done quickly and efficiently. Both were very polite and friendly. The end result far surpassed my expectations, the oven looks brand new again. I definitely would recommend them.
