Fixed prices

Upholstery cleaning prices in Greenwich

These are the Greenwich floor prices for an upholstery clean. 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. In this borough the additional variables are ULEZ, controlled parking zones and stair access, and each is quoted separately so you can see it.
Upholstery cleaning price guide for Greenwich
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Two-seat sofa£6545–60 minHot-water extraction with a hand tool, both faces of every cushion, plus the frame and skirt.
Three-seat sofa£8560–90 minMore surface and usually more soiling at the arms and headrest, where hair products and hands land.
Corner or L-shape sofa£1302 hrsPriced per seat rather than per item, because a five-seat corner is genuinely two sofas' worth of fabric.
Armchair or dining chair (each)£2515–25 minBooked alongside a sofa; on their own they are quoted against the £65 minimum visit.
Mattress clean and sanitise, double£5540 minExtraction 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 Greenwich

Why Greenwich is not a generic London job

The Cutty Sark and the Royal Observatory is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Greenwich.

The housing stock

Greenwich is built from georgian terraces in west greenwich, 1930s eltham semis, woolwich estates and peninsula high-rise, and the mix changes street by street — Abbey Wood (SE2), Blackheath (SE3) and Charlton (SE7) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

Royal Borough of Greenwich sets the constraint: cobbled and one-way streets in the world heritage core, blackwall tunnel approach red routes, and tower-block lift booking on the peninsula. Locally that means steep streets towards the abbey, wide estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts and conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases. Greenwich sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.

Royal Borough of Greenwich rules

Royal Borough of Greenwich tenancies and the local letting agents in Greenwich 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.

How the borough got this way

Royal palace and naval hospital on the river, arsenal at Woolwich; the Peninsula's gasworks became the O2 and new districts. That history is why Greenwich property behaves the way it does today.

Scope

What's included in Greenwich

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Abbey Wood or Woolwich.

Included in the price

  • Fibre identification and a colour-fastness test before any water touches the piece
  • Dry vacuum and pre-treatment of grease, food and body-oil marks
  • Hot-water extraction or low-moisture clean, matched to the fabric
  • Cushion faces, sides, arms, back panels and the frame
  • Air movers left running so the piece is touch-dry in 2–4 hours

Not included

  • 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
  • Re-upholstery, foam replacement or structural repair
  • Moving furniture between rooms or properties

Method

How a Greenwich booking runs

Five steps, the same on every Greenwich job, so you know what happens before you commit.
  1. Step 1

    Test first

    A hidden seam is tested for colour-fastness and shrinkage before the machine is switched on.

  2. Step 2

    Dry soil out

    Deep vacuum with an upholstery tool — most of what is in a London sofa is dry grit.

  3. Step 3

    Pre-treat the marks

    Grease, food and body oils are treated individually and given dwell time.

  4. Step 4

    Extract

    Hot-water extraction at controlled moisture, or a low-moisture pass on delicate fabrics.

  5. Step 5

    Groom and dry

    Pile groomed straight and air movers left running so nobody sits on a damp cushion.

Coverage

Every area we cover in Greenwich

10 named areas across SE10, SE18, SE2, SE28, SE3, SE7 and SE9. Each has its own page with local access notes.
Local questions

Upholstery cleaning in Greenwich — your questions

  • How much does an upholstery clean cost in Greenwich?

    Two-seat sofa starts at £65 in Greenwich, 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.

  • Which Greenwich postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: SE10, SE18, SE2, SE28, SE3, SE7 and SE9. On the ground that includes Abbey Wood, Blackheath, Charlton, Eltham, Greenwich and Greenwich Peninsula.

  • How quickly can you get to Greenwich?

    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.

  • What about parking and permits in Greenwich?

    Cobbled and one-way streets in the World Heritage core, Blackwall Tunnel approach red routes, and tower-block lift booking on the Peninsula. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with Royal Borough of Greenwich and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in Greenwich flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Georgian terraces in West Greenwich, 1930s Eltham semis, Woolwich estates and Peninsula high-rise 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.

  • Are you insured and licensed for work in Greenwich?

    £5m 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 Royal Borough of Greenwich tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    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 Greenwich postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    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 Greenwich, 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 →
