Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Lewisham, mattress cleaning here covers supply-free fitting from £45. With 75% of Lewisham's 3,987 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE13 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers.
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. Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Lewisham, often with surface conduit — and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SE13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — which is why London Borough of Lewisham 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 worked efficiently and with great attention… 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 Lewisham
Census 2021 puts Lewisham at 3,987 households with a median age of 35.3. The mainly Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 25% houses and 75% flats need different handling in SE13.
Owner-occupation runs at 32% in Lewisham, so alongside the 33% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Lewisham substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Lewisham, often with surface conduit — and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — which is why London Borough of Lewisham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a SE13 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Lewisham knows the pattern near Lewisham Market on the High Street: the market, the shopping centre and a cluster of new residential towers. We plan the SE13 visit around it. Lewisham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern).

Single mattress, one side starts at £45 in Lewisham on Lewisham bookings, with 25% of Lewisham homes being houses, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Mattress size, whether both sides are in scope in this 75% flats neighbourhood, with 35% social-rented stock nearby, and how much of the marking is protein-based. London bedrooms are small and often poorly ventilated for Lewisham (SE13) addresses — and this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, with 33% of SE13 homes being privately rented, 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 the Lewisham rounds, with 35% social-rented stock nearby. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Lewisham most weeks for Lewisham (SE13) addresses, with 25% of Lewisham homes being houses.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across SE13, with 3,987 households on this patch.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near Lewisham Market on the High Street. With 75% of Lewisham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Lewisham bookings — and a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, with Lewisham Market on the High Street a few streets away, 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 in this 75% flats neighbourhood, with 25% of Lewisham homes being houses — and 35% 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 Lewisham letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat for Lewisham (SE13) addresses, with this being a short walk from Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern).
Memory foam and latex cores soaked through, which cannot be extracted dry and must be replaced; Bed bug or infestation treatment, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, 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 SE13 — and this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, which is a furniture disposal collection we quote separately. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Lewisham SE13 price you agree is the price you pay on the Lewisham rounds, with 3,987 households on this patch.
All three. With 33% of Lewisham privately rented and 32% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE13 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across SE13 — and Lewisham parking rules in play, with 36% one-person households here.
