 | Can anybody recommend a decent:
a) Professional floor-shampooer/wet cleaner person
b) Professional cleaner generally
in London? I am supposed to be getting estimates to place against the landpeople's estimates. The landpeople have put forward the landlady's father's girlfriend for option (b), which I am sure would ensure a terribly good job but might first encourage further predecessors and epigones to join the value chain and second creates yet more of the bewildering family business that was bamboozling me here. Still and all, since I have now been waiting since July 2 for a replacement of the kitchen flooring (at present a set of rough boards with hardened tile glue forming odd geometries atop it), my sense of urgency seems a little dampened. There seems to be little point in forcing the matter - while the floor remains uncovered it will be almost impossible to avoid treading disintegrating epoxy into the more floor-covering-positive areas of the house, whereas when the floor is replaced the amount of crumbling, keratinous matter and wood shavings hurled into the air is likely to undo the best work of the most noble cleaners.
Speaking of recommendations, I'm a bit startled to find that Gordon Strachan and I share a taste for floppy posh boy stand-up. Also speaking of recommendations, how many of these goth classics have passed your tenebrous eyes?
