Upholstery cleaning London
Sofas, armchairs, dining chairs and mattresses cleaned in place across Greater London using hot-water extraction, or a low-moisture method where the fabric can't take it. Every piece is colour-tested on a hidden seam before the machine goes anywhere near the visible fabric.
London pricing
| Job | London from | Typical time | Why the London price differs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two-seat sofa | £65 | 45–60 min | Hot-water extraction with a hand tool, both faces of every cushion, plus the frame and skirt. |
| Three-seat sofa | £85 | 60–90 min | More surface and usually more soiling at the arms and headrest, where hair products and hands land. |
| Corner or L-shape sofa | £130 | 2 hrs | Priced per seat rather than per item — a five-seat corner is genuinely two sofas' worth of fabric. |
| Armchair or dining chair (each) | £25 | 15–25 min | Cheapest booked alongside a sofa; on their own they're quoted against the £65 minimum visit. |
| Mattress clean and sanitise, double | £55 | 40 min | Extraction plus a dust-mite treatment, the main reason most London flats book it at all. |

Working in London
A truck-mounted extraction hose cannot reach a fourth-floor flat in a conversion or a mansion block, so every job runs on a portable extraction machine carried up — the standard kit for London upholstery work, not a downgrade.
Managed blocks across Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster and Camden often require a public liability certificate and, for larger pieces or repeated visits, a booked lift slot. We send the certificate with the booking confirmation.
Sofas and mattresses left by a landlord are commonly checked against the inventory at the end of a tenancy, and staining or odour is a frequent point of dispute at deposit return. A cleaned, dated report from a professional visit is useful evidence either way.
Ground-floor flats and basement conversions in Victorian terraces across Lewisham and Haringey can run cold and slightly damp, which slows drying. We leave air movers running and, where the room is cold, recommend ventilating it for the first hour after we leave rather than closing it up.
How it works
Send photographs or a short video with your London postcode. It takes a couple of minutes and there is nothing to pay to ask.
We come back with one figure for upholstery cleaning in london — ULEZ, the Congestion Charge and disposal or materials already inside it, with any council permit shown at cost.
Pick a morning or afternoon window, including evenings and weekends. You get a named team, a text before arrival and paperwork on completion.

London questions
A two-seat sofa is £65, a three-seat is £85, and a corner or L-shape sofa is priced per seat from £130. Armchairs and dining chairs are £25 each, and a double mattress clean and sanitise is £55.
Yes, but not with the standard hot-water extraction. Velvet, viscose and some linens are cleaned with a low-moisture method after a hidden-seam colour test, because wet extraction can shrink or mark those fibres.
Air movers are left running and most pieces are touch-dry within 2–4 hours. Cold or poorly ventilated rooms, more common in basement conversions, can take a little longer, so we'll say so on the day.
We treat every visible mark individually and get strong results on most food, grease and general soiling. We don't guarantee removal of dye transfer, ink, bleach marks or old pet urine that has reached the foam — we'll tell you honestly if a mark looks unlikely to lift.
No — every job runs on a portable extraction machine, because a truck-mounted hose can't reach a fourth-floor flat in most London buildings. It's the right tool for the job here, not a lesser one.
Yes, and it often is — sofas and mattresses left by a landlord are commonly checked at move-out, and booking both in one visit means one call-out rather than two.

I recently used Hello Services for a full carpet clean throughout my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

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 →
