The Receipt Matters as Much as the Clean

Most leases require professional carpet cleaning at the end of a tenancy and require you to produce a receipt proving it. Plenty of tenants clean beautifully with a hired machine and still get queried, because there is no receipt to hand over.

Richmond is single-fronted Victorian cottages, terraces and converted warehouses, packed tightly between Bridge Road, Swan Street and Church Street. Narrow, deep floor plans and very little off-street parking.

The narrow plan concentrates traffic. In a single-fronted cottage every person walks the same hallway line from the front door to the kitchen, so the wear pattern is sharper here than in a wide suburban house. Traffic-lane greying is the number one thing we are called about in Richmond.

A lot of Richmond carpet is laid straight over the original hardwood boards with minimal underlay. That changes how much moisture is safe to use, so we run drier and put more air movement in rather than saturating a floor that has nowhere to drain.

It is also worth photographing the carpet yourself once we have finished. Agents work from a condition report, and your own dated photos of a clean carpet, alongside our itemised receipt, is a far stronger position than a receipt on its own if anything is disputed later.

We email an itemised receipt in your name the same day, listing the rooms cleaned and any treatments applied. That is the document the agent is actually asking for, and it is included rather than charged as an extra.
