John cleaned the carpets in the house we bought before we moved in. They were pale coloured and grubby from builders dust after the alterations we had had done. John made them look like new. He had told us exactly how much the charge would be and it was reasonable. He is a pleasure to deal with, and we would certainly use him again - Mike

I used John when I left my rental flat. When I arrived back home to see his work I was absoluetly gutted ...gutted that is that I had not used him before! When I moved into my flat the landlord had had the carpet cleaned professionaly but it was pretty disgusting. I just assumed that nothing more could be done and even had part of the carpet replaced at own cost it was so old and dirty looking. When I walked into my flat a few hours after John had started I was shocked at how clean and fresh the carpet looked and like I said gutted that he had not been the one to clean my carpet when I moved in. My landlord was extremely happy with the results and has taken Johns details. Not only does he do a magnificient job but he's a lovely warm smiley person that you'll be happy to have in your home.

Came on a Sunday afternoon at very short notice. Worked very efficiently with high degree of expertise on three different types of carpets. Very engaging, gentlemanly (in the best sense of the word) in his approach but also very professional and terrific value. Would recommend unconditionally (as others have done). Thank you

We picked Advanced Clean from the Which? Local list - they were the nearest and had good reviews. The service was excellent, with brilliant results on our hall/stairs/sitting room and bed room carpets and upholstery which were well overdue for cleaning. Although John could have cleaned the curtains in situ, we were happy to take his advice that we would get better results taking them to a dry cleaner.

John came to clean my lounge carpet some time ago. My apologies to him for such a late review. I found John excellent, and like many of his customers I agree that he set out to do a very good job. He managed to remove stains that I thought would be there forever. Would gladly use his service again.

Very pleased to have found John through Which Local recommendations. It is quite rare nowadays to find someone who takes such pride in his work. You feel you can trust his advice. John is very obliging, explains everything in detail, and even goes that extra bit to help, all of which shows why he deserved the award. I would be happy to recommend him.

John has just left after several hours of hard toil cleaning all my carpets. The experience was quite unique (in a good way!) in terms of attention to detail and general care and was very good value. Sadly for the other companies I have employed, I will not be able to return to them.

John did an excellent job of cleaning our large living room carpet and two flights of stair carpeting. I'll be using him again.

I want to give positive feedback for a carpet cleaner who I used today from Which Local. He is John Kilkenny from Advanced Clean, in North London. Very obliging, hardworking and did an excellent job regardless of how long it was taking. A reasonable quotation too.

John cleaned our hall and stairs carpet and four rugs. He was very helpful and considerate, gave us good advice and we were very pleased with the results.

John was recommended to me by a friend who had found him through Which Local. He and his son-in-law have just been to clean the stair carpet in the shared hall way (4 flats) of our small block. The carpet was a new a couple of years ago but it has had a hard life, particularly the first flight, which had ground in chewing gum and drink splashed on it. I am incredibly impressed by how immaculate it has come up. They were both very hard working and I would happily recommend them to other people. I'm not surprised John won Which Local tradesman of 2012.

Very good service and very good value. Despite all the (well-deserved) recognition, John remains accommodating and very keen for business. He was willing to come by on a Sunday and did a very thorough and professional job with our carpets and upholstery. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

John from Advanced Clean came in to clean two rooms, a large rug and all the stairs after Decorators had finished. The job was well done, especially a small back study that can't have had a 'carpet clean' in 20 years & that we had thought couldn't be rescued. We would heartily recommend John to anyone for his thoroughness, thoughtfulness and work, oh and the costs weren't too huge. Not sure the furniture should go back now the rooms look so clean!

I'm very glad I called John after finding his name on this website. He is very easy to get on with and did an excellent job for us - years of life have been restored to a very tired carpet throughout the flat. He arrived promptly as promised, explained exactly what he was going to be doing and then just got on with his work. Also, I think his charges are very reasonable, especially for a job that wasn't very easy and took longer than expected. I can well understand why he has been awarded the Local Business of the year 2012, and am more than happy to add my vote to that!

I called John on the basis of the reviews below, and totally agree with them. I thought the carpets in the flat I rent out were past redemption but he did a really great job on them. He was very conscientious, and explained how he had coped with the different stains - most of which disappeared! Very reasonably priced - I would definitely use him again.

I had been putting off having my carpets cleaned because I dreaded the smell of chemicals and carpets left too damp. So I was delighted to find John on the Which Local website. He completely lived up to the recommendations. State of the art equipment, carpets beautifully cleaned and left almost dry, and no smell of chemicals. He even managed to move the beds in two very small bedrooms to clean the whole carpets, and all with no fuss. The whole place looks so clean I will definitely have John do it again next year. Almost forgot to mention that the price was incredibly reasonable too!

I chose John to clean my carpets because of the many positive reviews on this site. He (supported by his son) was as professional, efficient, punctual, reliable and friendly as I'd hoped. Highly recommended.

This is an odd testimonial but read on. I called John for advice on how to clean our sofa and arm chair. I hadn't been brave enough to wash the covers and was willing to pay for a professional clean. John arrived the next day, promptly, at 7.30 am and very honestly told me that he could clean the sofa but I would be better off to stick the covers in the washing machine - much cheaper, better result and it would work. He didn't charge me a penny, he was professional and courteous and I said the least I could do was to report the fact on the Which Local website. If I ever need the carpets cleaned (which I will do one day in the near future) I will have no hesitation in giving the work to John. He is clearly much more interested in providing an excellent service and maintaining his excellent reputation than he is in just making money. And yes, John was right - the sofa covers washed very well in the machine and saved me a significant amount. Service like that restores your faith in businesses! Jay

John came round within 24 hours of speaking to him about a bottle of red wine that smashed on stairs. He was dilligent, friendly and clear on what problems he might have. We were delighted with the result. He is very proud of recent Which award quite rightly. It is great that sites like this can help highlight good people like John and support keeping their business costs down by not having to do so much paid advertising. Strongly recommend.

I decided to try John after reading these reviews, and I wasn't disappointed. His level of dedication and honesty shone through and enabled him to get the job done professionally, efficiently and thoroughly. After witnessing how well the job was being done I asked John to do a further three more rooms. He came with a plethora of expensive and powerful cleaning equipment that no home owner could possibly afford. Before he had even finished I was already on the phone to friends and family to recommend their carpets be cleaned by John therefore I have no hesitation in recommending him to anybody else.
