How it works
Step 1
First job, and usually the reason the machine smells — done over a tray, not your floor.
Step 2
Drawer and housing scrubbed clear of the softener sludge that blocks the siphon.
Step 3
Gasket folded back and cleaned all the way round, drum treated for scale and biofilm.
Step 4
A hot cycle run with descaler so the heater element is clear, not just the visible parts.
Step 5
Levels checked, hoses inspected and anything failing flagged in writing.
Why choose us
One technician; the visit is usually booked alongside an oven or fridge clean to make the London call-out worth it. Railway-bridge height limits on Half Moon Lane and permit-only side streets.
Next-day availability across most London postcodes, with weekend slots for tenancy changeovers. Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE24 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — which is what a 27% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Herne Hill actually produces in SE24, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE24, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — measured on the walk in from Herne Hill (Thameslink, Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.
£5m public liability and COSHH sheets for every product, which matters when the appliance is in a communal utility room in a managed block.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Washing machine deep clean | £65 | 60–75 min | Drawer, dispenser housing, door seal and filter cleaned by hand, then a descaling service wash run through the drum. |
| Washer-dryer deep clean | £80 | 1.5 hrs | The condenser side traps lint as well as scale, so there is a second circuit to clear. |
| Tumble dryer clean and lint clear | £60 | 45–60 min | Lint build-up behind the drum is the fire risk; the heat exchanger is pulled and washed. |
| Dishwasher deep clean | £55 | 45 min | Filter, spray arms and the sump cleared of the scale that blocks jets in London's hard water. |
| Laundry pair bundle | £110 | 2 hrs | Washer and dryer in one visit, so one call-out and one parking charge instead of two. |

Prices include VAT with a £65 minimum charge. London water runs hard to very hard at roughly 250–350 mg/l calcium carbonate, which is why heaters scale and drums smell here far faster than in soft-water parts of the UK — descaling is part of the method, never an upsell.
