Overview
Upholstery cleaning in Greenwich SE10, explained
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Cutty Sark, upholstery cleaning here covers supply-free fitting from £65. With 73% of Greenwich's 17,397 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE10 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How upholstery cleaning works in Greenwich
Five steps, the same on every SE10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In SE10, New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard — the pattern behind 17,397 households inside the SE10 neighbourhood 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 Greenwich customers book us
What follows is specific to Greenwich: its walls, its access and the paperwork Greenwich agents ask for.
Greenwich walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SE10, with metal stud partitions between rooms, and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SE10, 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 Greenwich stock goes, where 40% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access.
Fixed prices
Upholstery cleaning prices in Greenwich
Fixed prices for SE10 and the rest of Greenwich. 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
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)

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.
Scope
What's included in Greenwich
The same scope across SE10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Greenwich: fibre identification and a colour-fastness test before any water touches the piece, the way it is done on Greenwich jobs
- On SE10 jobs: dry vacuum and pre-treatment of grease, food and body-oil marks, with 73% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: hot-water extraction or low-moisture clean, matched to the fabric, arranged with Royal Borough of Greenwich where the kerb needs it
- Cushion faces, sides, arms, back panels and the frame — including local upholstery cleaning
- In Greenwich: air movers left running so the piece is touch-dry in 2–4 hours, timed against the walk in from Cutty Sark (DLR)
Not included
- Guaranteed removal of dye stains, ink, bleach marks or old pet urine that has reached the foam, which we refer on to the right trade in Greenwich
- Leather restoration or re-colouring — we clean and condition, we do not re-dye, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE10
- Re-upholstery, foam replacement or structural repair, outside the fixed price on Greenwich bookings
- Moving furniture between rooms or properties, and we will say so before the SE10 visit rather than on the day

I recently used Hello Services for a full carpet clean throughout my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the moment I contacted them, their communication was clear, friendly, and professional. They arrived on time, fully equipped, and explained the entire process before starting.

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 →

Greenwich SE10 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Greenwich — the numbers that actually change a upholstery cleaning quote.
In Greenwich (SE10) the split is 73% flats to 27% houses over 17,397 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
The mixed-tenure mix here (40% owned, 31% privately rented) means a SE10 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SE10, with metal stud partitions between rooms, and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Greenwich is chosen on site — the usual failure here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Greenwich stock goes, where 40% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Greenwich is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — world Heritage centre of the market, the Cutty Sark and the Observatory on the hill — which is why a SE10 quote is not a Greenwich average.
On access, cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access — one reason one technician with a portable extraction machine — the standard kit for London flats, where a truck-mount hose cannot reach a fourth floor. Fitters travelling in use Cutty Sark (DLR).

Common questions
Upholstery cleaning in Greenwich SE10 — your questions.
How much does upholstery cleaning cost in Greenwich SE10?
Two-seat sofa starts at £65 in Greenwich, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked on Greenwich bookings. Seat count and fabric type set the price. Velvet, viscose and linen need the slower low-moisture method on this side of Greenwich, with 73% of homes here being flats, which takes longer than extraction on a synthetic weave.
Can you clean a corner sofa in a Greenwich flat?
Yes — corner and L-shape sofas near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark are priced per seat from £130, since a five-seat corner is genuinely two sofas' worth of fabric for Greenwich (SE10) addresses — and this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, with Greenwich parking rules in play. With 73% of Greenwich homes being flats, access through the doorway is checked before the appointment, not on the day in Greenwich, with 27% of Greenwich homes being houses.
Is upholstery cleaning safe for velvet and delicate fabric in Greenwich SE10?
We test a hidden seam first. Velvet, viscose and some linens can't take wet extraction across SE10, with 40% owner-occupation locally, so where that's the case we quote a low-moisture clean instead of risking the fabric.
Do you clean mattresses as well as sofas for a Greenwich move-out?
Yes — a double mattress clean and sanitise is £55 and is often booked alongside the sofa for a SE10 tenancy check-out on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark, with 40% owner-occupation locally — and this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, which most Royal Borough of Greenwich inventory clerks look at closely.
What is not included in upholstery cleaning in Greenwich?
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 across SE10, with 40% owner-occupation locally — and 29% social-rented stock nearby. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Greenwich SE10 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Greenwich, with 29% social-rented stock nearby.
Who books upholstery cleaning in Greenwich SE10 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 31% of Greenwich privately rented and 40% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE10 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across SE10 — and 32% one-person households here, with this being a short walk from Cutty Sark (DLR).
How quickly can you reach Greenwich from your Greenwich round?
The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark is the marker we route to on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark, with 31% of SE10 homes being privately rented — and 29% social-rented stock nearby, and cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access. A SE10 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next on Greenwich bookings, with this being a short walk from Cutty Sark (DLR).
