Overview
This page prices mattress cleaning for St Mary Cray and Cray Valley BR5 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 13% privately rented and 10,135 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bromley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
Single through super king, one side or both, and a photograph of any staining. That is enough for a fixed price with no on-the-day change.
Step 2
Sprung, pocket, memory foam or latex behaves differently under moisture, so the technician confirms the method before switching the machine on.
Step 3
A high-filtration pass lifts skin cells, dust-mite allergen and grit out of the fibres. Extracting over dry soil turns it into a stain.
Step 4
Enzyme dwell on protein marks, then overlapping hot-water extraction passes with high vacuum recovery so the mattress leaves damp, never wet.
Step 5
Air mover on the panel, moisture reading taken, and a written window — usually four to six hours — before the bed can be made up again.
Why choose us
One technician with a portable extraction machine and air mover on a single household booking; two technicians on HMO, student accommodation and serviced-apartment rounds where six or more mattresses are cleaned in a day. Wide estate roads with kerbside parking and industrial-estate access nearby.
Slots inside the week across every borough, with same-week turnaround on tenancy changeovers and weekend or evening visits where a concierge restricts contractor hours. St Mary Cray (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the pattern behind 10,135 households inside the BR5 neighbourhood in BR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in BR5, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Employed, DBS-checked technicians with £5m public liability cover. COSHH data sheets are carried for every product, treatments are certified anti-allergen where specified, and a public liability certificate is supplied to the managing agent before a goods lift or communal corridor is used.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single mattress, one side | £45 | 45–60 min | Priced per mattress rather than per hour, because the drying time — not the machine time — is what sets the visit length. |
| Double mattress, one side | £55 | 1 hr | More surface area for the extraction head and more solution to lift back out, so the pass takes longer than a single. |
| King or super king, one side | £70 | 1–1.5 hrs | A wider panel needs overlapping passes to avoid banding, and the edge piping is worked separately by hand. |
| Both sides, any size | +£25 | +30 min | Turning and re-extracting doubles the wet surface, which is why it is quoted as an addition rather than assumed. |
| Urine, sweat or blood stain treatment | £25 | +20 min | Protein and uric-salt residues need an enzyme dwell before extraction; a straight hot-water pass sets them instead of removing them. |
| Anti-allergen or dust-mite treatment | £20 | +15 min | A separate certified treatment applied after extraction, charged per mattress because it is a consumable rather than labour. |

Scope
I recently used Hello Services for a full carpet clean throughout my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the moment I contacted them, their communication was clear, friendly, and professional. They arrived on time, fully equipped, and explained the entire process before starting.

The team was very kind and respectful the whole cleaning and they did a wonderful job! They called and asked if they could come earlier because they finished their first job early, which was a nice surprise. When they arrived, they asked good questions and set expectations on what they were planning to clean. My… Read in full →

London bedrooms are small and often poorly ventilated on the St Mary Cray and Cray Valley rounds — and this being London Borough of Bromley territory, with 55% owner-occupation locally, so condensation-related staining and dust-mite load are heavier here than the national average — that is dwell time, not machine time.
