Overview
This page prices upholstery cleaning for Welling DA16 specifically: inter-war stock, 16% privately rented and 3,815 households in total. Work starts at £65, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Bexley permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
A hidden seam is tested for colour-fastness and shrinkage before the machine is switched on.
Step 2
Deep vacuum with an upholstery tool — most of what is in a London sofa is dry grit.
Step 3
Grease, food and body oils are treated individually and given dwell time.
Step 4
Hot-water extraction at controlled moisture, or a low-moisture pass on delicate fabrics.
Step 5
Pile groomed straight and air movers left running so nobody sits on a damp cushion.
Why choose us
One technician with a portable extraction machine — the standard kit for London flats, where a truck-mount hose cannot reach a fourth floor. Driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays.
Next-day availability in most postcodes; end-of-tenancy jobs prioritised around check-out dates. Welling (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect timber stud partitions inside in Welling, cavity brickwork outside — and with 16% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in DA16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in DA16, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — and driveways on almost every street; the high street has timed bays.
£1m public liability, WoolSafe-approved chemistry on natural fibres and COSHH sheets on the van for everything else.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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, because a five-seat corner is genuinely two sofas' worth of fabric. |
| Armchair or dining chair (each) | £25 | 15–25 min | Booked alongside a sofa; on their own they are quoted against the £65 minimum visit. |
| Mattress clean and sanitise, double | £55 | 40 min | Extraction plus a dust-mite treatment, which is the reason most London flats book it at all. |

Scope
Constantine and Adriana did an amazing job cleaning. It was fast and they were very clean. Had a full house clean and and carpet clean and looks and smells great. Very friendly and gave great communication
I used Hello services after having flat renovated before moving in. Booking was easy and I needed to change the booking a couple of times as work had not finished.

Had an above and beyond experience with our cleaners, Diana and Alex. They were honest, professional, friendly, and did an amazing job with what they were tasked with.
