Overview
This page prices mattress cleaning for Eltham SE9 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 15% privately rented and 13,732 households in total. Work starts at £45, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Greenwich 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. Driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only.
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. Eltham (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — and with 15% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SE9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE9, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 13,732 households inside the SE9 neighbourhood.
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 Eltham
Walk Eltham from Eltham Palace outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 27% of the 13,732 households in SE9 live in flats, 73% in houses.
Private renting sits at 15% and owner-occupation at 64%; the first group books mattress cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — and with 15% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does behind the plaster in SE9. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SE9, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — the pattern behind 13,732 households inside the SE9 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Eltham knows the pattern near Eltham Palace: the medieval palace, Art Deco Eltham Palace and streets of 1930s semis. We plan the SE9 visit around it. Eltham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only. Nearest station is Eltham (Southeastern), 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 Eltham, with 13,732 households on this patch, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size, whether both sides are in scope around Eltham (Southeastern), with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood, and how much of the marking is protein-based. London bedrooms are small and often poorly ventilated on SE9 jobs, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory — and Eltham Palace a few streets away, 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 across SE9, with 28% one-person households here. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Eltham most weeks on this side of Greenwich, with Greenwich parking rules in play.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for Eltham (SE9) addresses, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in Eltham. With 27% of Eltham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Greenwich — and Eltham Palace a few streets away, with Greenwich parking rules in play, 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 on SE9 jobs, with 21% social-rented stock nearby, 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 this side of Greenwich, with 64% owner-occupation locally.
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 in Eltham — and a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, which is a furniture disposal collection we quote separately. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Eltham SE9 price you agree is the price you pay for Eltham (SE9) addresses, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood.
All three. With 15% of Eltham privately rented and 64% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE9 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on SE9 jobs — and 64% owner-occupation locally, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood.
