Overview
Upholstery cleaning in Shoreditch E1, explained
This page prices upholstery cleaning for Shoreditch E1 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 37% privately rented and 3,361 households in total. Work starts at £65, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Hackney permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How upholstery cleaning works in Shoreditch
Five steps, the same on every E1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — which is why London Borough of Hackney kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded 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 Shoreditch customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Shoreditch wall.
Shoreditch walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 43% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in E1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Shoreditch gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 31 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. Night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts.
Fixed prices
Upholstery cleaning prices in Shoreditch
Fixed prices for E1 and the rest of Hackney. 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

£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

Priced per seat rather than per item, because a five-seat corner is genuinely two sofas' worth of fabric.

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 Shoreditch
The same scope across E1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Hackney bookings: fibre identification and a colour-fastness test before any water touches the piece, with 3,361 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Dry vacuum and pre-treatment of grease, food and body-oil marks, checked on every E1 visit
- In Shoreditch: hot-water extraction or low-moisture clean, matched to the fabric, sized for the night-economy congestion, narrow one-way streets and loft buildings with shared goods lifts
- On E1 jobs: cushion faces, sides, arms, back panels and the frame, upholstery cleaning included
- Standard on Hackney bookings: air movers left running so the piece is touch-dry in 2–4 hours, allowing for the 37% of E1 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Guaranteed removal of dye stains, ink, bleach marks or old pet urine that has reached the foam, outside the fixed price on Shoreditch bookings
- Leather restoration or re-colouring — we clean and condition, we do not re-dye, and we will say so before the E1 visit rather than on the day
- Re-upholstery, foam replacement or structural repair, which we refer on to the right trade in Shoreditch
- Moving furniture between rooms or properties, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E1

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 →

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Shoreditch — the numbers that actually change a upholstery cleaning quote.
In Shoreditch (E1) the split is 98% flats to 2% houses over 3,361 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
With 37% private renting against 20% owner-occupied, most E1 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Shoreditch substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit, with 43% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Shoreditch gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a E1 customer twice.
Shoreditch 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 — warehouse offices, rooftop bars and Boxpark on the City fringe — which is why a E1 quote is not a Hackney average.
