C & M Cleaning

What C & M Cleaning does

C & M Cleaning is a privately-held, founder/owner-operated local cleaning services company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Ashford, Kent, England. The company provides residential carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, end-of-tenancy deep cleaning, commercial/contract cleaning, office cleaning, gutter clearance, pure water window cleaning, and holiday-let cleaning under a single brand operating through the thecarpetcleaner.org website. Service delivery is on-site across the Kent region — Ashford, Canterbury, Maidstone, Folkestone, Chatham, Dover, and the Bromley/Dartford/Medway/Tonbridge Wells postcode areas — with a dedicated holiday-let offering in Rye and Camber. Operatives are uniformed, fully trained, and CRB checked, and the firm carries £5 million of public liability insurance plus separate treatments risk cover, which the marketing uses as a primary trust signal.

The technical capability base is physical-service equipment and chemistry rather than software: industrial vacuum-based gutter clearance, pole-fed long-reach pure water window cleaning for smear-free results, premium cleaning solutions, and proprietary add-on treatments such as Stainguard Protection and Conditioning Treatments for carpets and upholstery. A subcontract partnership with Ovengleam extends the end-of-tenancy package with specialist oven cleaning. Pricing is published on the website with all figures inclusive of VAT at 20%; residential carpet cleaning is priced per property size (£105 for a 2-bedroom house, £115 for a 3-bedroom house, promotional £70 for any three rooms), upholstery cleaning is per-item (£30 armchair, £50 2-seater, £60 3-seater), and a £45 minimum call-out charge applies. Commercial contracts operate on bespoke multi-year quotes following a free site survey. Distribution is entirely direct — phone (01233 650994, 07971 806223), email, and website enquiry form — with no intermediaries, marketplace listings, social channels, or paid media cited.

The revenue model blends transactional and recurring streams: unit-priced residential jobs (carpet, upholstery, gutter, window), one-time end-of-tenancy cleans with custom quotes, recurring commercial/contract cleaning on bespoke terms, and flexible holiday-let cleans on ad-hoc or contractual bases. Customer segments are split between individual homeowners and tenants (primary residential) and commercial buyers across healthcare, commercial real estate, manufacturing, retail/food service, hospitality, education, religious, senior living, and construction sub-sectors (primary commercial). Geographic scope is regional rather than national, and no funding rounds, acquisitions, leadership changes, regulatory actions, or technology partnerships beyond the Ovengleam subcontract were identified in the source data.
