We sincerely wish this were true! However, we price by the area, so we initially need an accurate measurement of the area which we will do on a survey. Whilst we are there we can also inspect the carpet for construction and fibre. There are many different types of fibres and different constructions and therefore different methods of clean to obtain the best result. Then there is the degree of soiling and if there are any stains and type of stain. If we are inspecting a carpet that hasn't been cleaned in ten years, it will take an awful lot longer to clean than a newish carpet. There is also the amount of furniture that needs to be moved and replaced; again this affects the length of time needed to do the job properly.
