Another cry for help - carpet cleaners/house cleaners in London

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. It may also reveal the L's F's GF is twenty-five and speaks no English, which I coudl really do without knowing if it is the case. 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...

So, any recommendations?

Apalling Latin, TSK, but an option I had certainly considered. However, I'd rather get personal recommendations, if I can.

Couldn't pass up a cheap Pratchett reference.

I'll get my coat.

Get a skint and reliable friend to do it?

No, not me but occurs to me this would be a good way of ensuring reliability etc in lieu of a personal recc. And also helps a mate out so all is shiny love.
