    First-rate carpet cleaning service.

    Posted 2 days ago

    Gary cleaned our large lounge and master bedroom carpets. The work was professional, thorough and the results made the carpets look like new. Would have him back to clean more carpets when needed, and thoroughly recommend him.

    Sound Knowledge and Experience

    Posted 08 January

    Have used HB cleaning for a least the last twenty years. Experience and knowledge are in any professional service and these qualities are apparent from the first contact to the end of the completed jobs - knowledge of what chemicals to use on whichever product needs cleaning - our carpet had a very large coffee stain which was totally removed. In addition a large rug was fully cleaned and refurbished

    Excellent Service

    Posted 16 December 2025

    Gary was helpful and friendly and very considerate and kind to my elderly Uncle, for whom the work was carried out. He arrive on time and worked solidly to clean an armchair and carpet - both heavily soiled. He did a fantastic job - both looked as good as new. Highly recommended.
