Overview
Upholstery cleaning in Welling DA16, explained
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
How upholstery cleaning works in Welling
Five steps, the same on every DA16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Welling gives us inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls, which is what a 19% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Welling actually produces is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Test first
A hidden seam is tested for colour-fastness and shrinkage before the machine is switched on.
Step 2
Dry soil out
Deep vacuum with an upholstery tool — most of what is in a London sofa is dry grit.
Step 3
Pre-treat the marks
Grease, food and body oils are treated individually and given dwell time.
Step 4
Extract
Hot-water extraction at controlled moisture, or a low-moisture pass on delicate fabrics.
Step 5
Groom and dry
Pile groomed straight and air movers left running so nobody sits on a damp cushion.
Why choose us
Why Welling customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Welling wall.
Booked around your day
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.
Welling walls, not generic walls
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.
Insured and documented
£5m public liability, WoolSafe-approved chemistry on natural fibres and COSHH sheets on the van for everything else.
Fixed prices
Upholstery cleaning prices in Welling
Fixed prices for DA16 and the rest of Bexley. Seat count and fabric type set the price. Velvet, viscose and linen need the slower low-moisture method, which takes longer than extraction on a synthetic weave.
| 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. |
Two-seat sofa
£65 · 45–60 min

£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

Prices include VAT with a £65 minimum charge per visit. Fabric is tested in a hidden area first: velvet, viscose and some linens cannot take wet extraction, and where that is the case we say so and quote a low-moisture method instead of risking the piece.
Scope
What's included in Welling
The same scope across DA16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Fibre identification and a colour-fastness test before any water touches the piece, noted on the Welling job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Bexley bookings: dry vacuum and pre-treatment of grease, food and body-oil marks, allowing for the 16% of DA16 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On DA16 jobs: hot-water extraction or low-moisture clean, matched to the fabric, agreed on the doorstep in Welling before anything is unpacked
- In Welling: cushion faces, sides, arms, back panels and the frame, timed against the walk in from Welling (Southeastern)
- Air movers left running so the piece is touch-dry in 2–4 hours — including upholstery cleaning prices
Not included
- Guaranteed removal of dye stains, ink, bleach marks or old pet urine that has reached the foam, and we will say so before the DA16 visit rather than on the day
- Leather restoration or re-colouring — we clean and condition, we do not re-dye, outside the fixed price on Welling bookings
- Re-upholstery, foam replacement or structural repair, which we refer on to the right trade in Welling
- Moving furniture between rooms or properties, handled by London Borough of Bexley or a specialist contractor instead

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 →
