London upholstery cleaning · South London
We work in Croydon every week — a town in its own right — office towers and trams in the centre, purley and coulsdon's downland suburbs to the south. Upholstery cleaning is priced against that reality, not a national average.
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 Croydon
What our crews walk into in Croydon is 1930s semis, victorian terraces in thornton heath, tower blocks and converted office buildings in the centre, and the mix changes street by street — Addiscombe (CR0), Coulsdon (CR5) and Croydon (CR0) each behave differently on the day.
London Borough of Croydon sets the constraint: tram-track loading limits in the centre, steep purley hills and wide suburban roads with driveways elsewhere. Locally that means tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops and steep downland roads, easy driveway parking and a narrow high street. Croydon sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
London Borough of Croydon tenancies and the local letting agents in Croydon 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.
An archbishop's manor and market town that became a 1960s office boom city with the Croydon Corporation Act towers. That history is why Croydon property behaves the way it does today.

Two-seat sofa starts at £65 in Croydon, 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: CR0, CR2, CR5, CR7, CR8, SE19, SE25 and SW16. On the ground that includes Addiscombe, Coulsdon, Croydon, Crystal Palace, Kenley and Purley.
Next-day availability in most postcodes; end-of-tenancy jobs prioritised around check-out dates. South London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Tram-track loading limits in the centre, steep Purley hills and wide suburban roads with driveways elsewhere. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Croydon and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. 1930s semis, Victorian terraces in Thornton Heath, tower blocks and converted office buildings in the centre 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 London Borough of Croydon 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 Croydon 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 Croydon, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.
