The Arithmetic

How Rooms Are Counted

• Stairs and landing together are one room
• A through lounge-diner is one room
• A large room is still one room
• A hall on its own is one room
• A built-in or walk-in cupboard counts if woollens are stored in it
• A synthetic-carpeted room usually does not need treating — unless the underlay is wool
• We will suggest fewer rooms where fewer is honest

A Typical Two-Room Job

• Living room — damage under the sofa, along the perimeter
• Main bedroom — damage under the wardrobe and the bed
• Which is the classic pattern
• The kitchen and bathroom almost never need it
• A second bedroom with synthetic carpet usually does not
• Add the stairs if the carpet is wool and it becomes three at £300

Why the Stairs Matter

• The vertical edge against each riser is dark and undisturbed
• Nobody vacuums the edges of a stair carpet properly
• The landing joins every bedroom, so larvae spread from it
• Damage often runs the length of the flight before anyone notices
• It is one room for pricing
• Replacing a wool stair carpet costs far more than including it

What Happens on the Visit

• Inspection of both rooms — perimeters, under furniture, under rugs
• Identification, since carpet beetle damage looks similar and is treated differently
• Residual treatment to carpet, edges, board gaps and beneath furniture
• Treatment of rugs where appropriate, both faces
• Advice on stored woollens
• Follow-up visit included

Preparation

• Move furniture out where you can — the wardrobe and the sofa especially
• Lift the rugs and leave them accessible
• Vacuum thoroughly, edges and under furniture
• Empty the vacuum outside into a sealed bag
• Empty a built-in cupboard if woollens are stored in it
• Wash or freeze affected woollens beforehand
• Photograph the damage if you rent

In a Rented Flat

• Photograph the damage before treatment, dated
• Moth damage develops over months, so it often predates a tenancy
• Report it in writing as soon as you find it
• Do not move the wardrobe back and say nothing until check-out
• Carpet replacement is a dilapidations question; treatment is a pest one
• A professional report distinguishes active from historic damage

After Treatment

• Stay off treated floors until dry
• Do not shampoo or steam-clean for two weeks
• Vacuum weekly, edges and under furniture included
• Empty the vacuum outside
• Expect a few adults for two or three weeks
• Keep stored woollens sealed permanently
• Move heavy furniture occasionally — the best long-term prevention there is

Related Questions

Is four rooms much more?

£360. If a fourth room has wool and shows damage, including it now beats repeating later.

Do I need to replace the carpet?

Only where damage is already visible. Treatment stops further loss.

Will one visit do it?

Usually two, which is why the follow-up is inside the price.
