Overview
Mattress cleaning in Charlton SE7 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Greenwich, most of them mainly Victorian. 5,904 households sit inside this SE7 patch, 48% of them flats, so we quote on access near Charlton House rather than a London average.
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. Match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads.
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. Charlton (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SE7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE7, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — where 41% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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 worked efficiently and with great attention… Read in full →
Really good company . Came out and let themselves in to clean with minimum fuss as I couldn't get the day off work. Did a great job of the bedroom,bathroom and the carpet . My only criticism is you quoted to dust bedframe but when I checked underneath mattress it was still dusty . I… Read in full →
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 →

Working in Charlton
Census 2021 puts Charlton at 5,904 households with a median age of 36. The mainly Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 52% houses and 48% flats need different handling in SE7.
Private renting sits at 20% and owner-occupation at 41%; the first group books mattress cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.
Charlton substrates run to often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — which is why Royal Borough of Greenwich kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because in SE7, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — where 41% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a SE7 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Charlton knows the pattern near Charlton House: jacobean Charlton House, the Valley stadium and riverside retail parks. We plan the SE7 visit around it. Charlton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads. Charlton (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and 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.

Single mattress, one side starts at £45 in Charlton across SE7, with 28% one-person households here, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size, whether both sides are in scope on the streets near Charlton House, with 38% social-rented stock nearby, and how much of the marking is protein-based. London bedrooms are small and often poorly ventilated on SE7 jobs, with 41% owner-occupation locally — and 48% of homes here being flats, so condensation-related staining and dust-mite load are heavier here than the national average — that is dwell time, not machine time.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on SE7 jobs, with 20% of SE7 homes being privately rented. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Charlton most weeks around Charlton (Southeastern), with this being a short walk from Charlton (Southeastern).
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Charlton (Southeastern), with 38% social-rented stock nearby.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in across SE7. With 48% of Charlton homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Greenwich, with 20% of SE7 homes being privately rented — and 48% of homes here being flats, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Employed, DBS-checked technicians with £5m public liability cover. COSHH data sheets are carried for every product, treatments are certified anti-allergen where specified around Charlton (Southeastern), with 28% one-person households here — and this being a short walk from Charlton (Southeastern), and a public liability certificate is supplied to the managing agent before a goods lift or communal corridor is used. That paperwork is what most Greenwich letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on SE7 jobs, with 5,904 households on this patch.
Memory foam and latex cores soaked through, which cannot be extracted dry and must be replaced; Bed bug or infestation treatment, which is licensed pest control rather than cleaning; Mould inside the core caused by structural damp or a mattress stored flat on an unventilated floor; Disposal of a mattress you no longer want across SE7, with 41% owner-occupation locally, which is a furniture disposal collection we quote separately. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Charlton SE7 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Greenwich, with 5,904 households on this patch.
All three. With 20% of Charlton privately rented and 41% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE7 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Charlton (Southeastern) — and a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood, with 52% of Charlton homes being houses.
