Business description
Business
This business has been established for around 16 years and consists of 1 Chem-Dry franchise and covers the affluent area of West Surrey.
The business operates from the owner’s home using a sign written fully equipped van and offers carpet and upholstery (including leather upholstery & curtains) cleaning to both commercial and residential clients as well as flood & fire restoration work, which comes directly through insurance companies. Much of the cleaning work comes from repeat customers and both the owner and Chem-Dry have a good reputation which leads to a good deal of word of mouth recommendations.
