London upholstery cleaning · Central London
Local upholstery cleaning for City of London and its 10 covered areas. The Square Mile — banking towers, medieval lanes and a resident population dwarfed by 500,000 weekday workers.
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. |
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.
Working in City of London
What our crews walk into in City of London is barbican and golden lane flats, converted counting houses and a handful of new riverside blocks, and the mix changes street by street — Aldgate (EC3), Bank and Cornhill (EC3) and Barbican (EC2) each behave differently on the day.
Parking is the job before the job here: congestion charge and ulez, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. Locally that means aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking and bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only. Part of City of London sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.
City of London Corporation tenancies and the local letting agents in City of London both work to a written check-out standard rather than a general impression of clean. We clean to that list, photograph the finish and re-attend free if the inventory clerk disagrees.
City of London took its present shape because roman londinium's walled city, rebuilt after the 1666 fire and again after the blitz, now layered with towers around bishopsgate.

Two-seat sofa starts at £65 in City of London, and the ladder runs up to £55 for the largest job on the table above. 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. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.
We cover the whole borough: E1, EC1, EC2, EC3 and EC4. On the ground that includes Aldgate, Bank and Cornhill, Barbican, Blackfriars, Clerkenwell and Farringdon.
Next-day availability in most postcodes; end-of-tenancy jobs prioritised around check-out dates. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Congestion Charge and ULEZ, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with City of London Corporation and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Barbican and Golden Lane flats, converted counting houses and a handful of new riverside blocks is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
£1m public liability, WoolSafe-approved chemistry on natural fibres and COSHH sheets on the van for everything else. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what City of London Corporation tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
One technician with a portable extraction machine — the standard kit for London flats, where a truck-mount hose cannot reach a fourth floor. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every City of London postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Guaranteed removal of dye stains, ink, bleach marks or old pet urine that has reached the foam, Leather restoration or re-colouring — we clean and condition, we do not re-dye and Re-upholstery, foam replacement or structural repair. If something on that list turns up in City of London, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
Constantin and his team of ladies from “Hello Services”, completed an “end of tenancy” clean for us today in Hylton Road Worcester. I cannot recommend highly enough this team and the company as well, their attention to detail was exceptional, and they completed it to a much higher quality level than I thought they could… Read in full →
The Hello Clean team were communicative with me. They did shift the time from 9am to 4.30pm the day before but that suited me better. On the day 4 cleaners came at 3.30. They spread around the house and were very quick and efficient: 90 minutes later they were done. It would have taken me… Read in full →
