How it works
How upholstery cleaning works in Bank and Cornhill
Five steps, the same on every EC3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In EC3, New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Bank and Cornhill customers book us
Four things decide whether a EC3 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Bank and Cornhill walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, the pattern behind 4,914 households inside the EC3 neighbourhood in EC3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Bank and Cornhill stock goes, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Insured and documented
£5m public liability, WoolSafe-approved chemistry on natural fibres and COSHH sheets on the van for everything else.
Crew sized to the job
One technician with a portable extraction machine — the standard kit for London flats, where a truck-mount hose cannot reach a fourth floor. Bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only.
Fixed prices
Upholstery cleaning prices in Bank and Cornhill
Fixed prices for EC3 and the rest of City of London. 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. |

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 Bank and Cornhill
Bank and Cornhill EC3 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Bank and Cornhill — the numbers that actually change a upholstery cleaning quote.
In Bank and Cornhill (EC3) the split is 98% flats to 2% houses over 4,914 households, and the stock is period conversion.
Because 48% of Bank and Cornhill is privately rented and 15% socially rented, a lot of EC3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Bank and Cornhill substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, the pattern behind 4,914 households inside the EC3 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Bank and Cornhill stock goes, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a EC3 customer twice.
Bank and Cornhill sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the historic financial heart — Royal Exchange, Mansion House and the alleyways behind Leadenhall — which is why a EC3 quote is not a City of London average.
Bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only. Nearest station is Bank (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, DLR), and one technician with a portable extraction machine — the standard kit for London flats, where a truck-mount hose cannot reach a fourth floor.

Two-seat sofa starts at £65 in Bank and Cornhill on EC3 jobs, with this being City of London Corporation territory, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Seat count and fabric type set the price. Velvet, viscose and linen need the slower low-moisture method across EC3, with City of London parking rules in play, which takes longer than extraction on a synthetic weave.
Can you clean a corner sofa in a Bank and Cornhill flat?

With 98% of Bank and Cornhill homes being flats, access through the doorway is checked before the appointment, not on the day on City of London bookings, with 4,914 households on this patch.
Is upholstery cleaning safe for velvet and delicate fabric in Bank and Cornhill EC3?
In Bank and Cornhill, we test a hidden seam first. Velvet, viscose and some linens can't take wet extraction on the streets near The Royal Exchange, with this being City of London Corporation territory, so where that's the case we quote a low-moisture clean instead of risking the fabric. Ask for it in writing before the EC3 visit and it is on the job sheet.
Do you clean mattresses as well as sofas for a City of London move-out?
Yes — a double mattress clean and sanitise is £55 and is often booked alongside the sofa for a EC3 tenancy check-out on EC3 jobs, with 51% one-person households here — and 2% of Bank and Cornhill homes being houses, which most City of London Corporation inventory clerks look at closely.

The Royal Exchange is the marker we route to on the streets near The Royal Exchange, with 51% one-person households here, and bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only. A EC3 slot added to an existing City of London round usually lands the same week rather than the next across EC3, with City of London parking rules in play.
Is same-day or evening upholstery cleaning available in City of London?
Next-day availability in most postcodes; end-of-tenancy jobs prioritised around check-out dates on the Bank and Cornhill rounds. Bank and Cornhill sits close to Bank (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, DLR) on City of London bookings, with 51% one-person households here — and City of London parking rules in play, so we can usually add a EC3 job to an existing City of London round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in Bank and Cornhill?
Bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only on EC3 jobs. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in City of London Corporation it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on the streets near The Royal Exchange — and The Royal Exchange a few streets away, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood.
