Fixed prices

Upholstery cleaning prices in Kensington and Chelsea

Fixed prices for Kensington and Chelsea, agreed before the crew is booked. 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. Where the Congestion Charge, ULEZ and permit-only frontages apply in Kensington and Chelsea, they are itemised rather than rolled into an hourly rate.
Upholstery cleaning price guide for Kensington and Chelsea
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 Kensington and Chelsea

Why Kensington and Chelsea is not a generic London job

The Natural History Museum and Notting Hill's Portobello Road is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Kensington and Chelsea.

The housing stock

The stock in Kensington and Chelsea is stucco-fronted terraces, mansion flats, mews houses and the lancaster west and world's end estates, and the mix changes street by street — Bayswater (W2), Chelsea (SW3) and Earl's Court (SW5) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

Parking is the job before the job here: some of the tightest cpzs in london, mews entrances under 2.1m and communal-stair-only access in many mansion blocks. Locally that means hotel servicing congestion, permit bays and five-storey walk-ups and cadogan estate parking rules, king's road red-route loading and mews arches with height limits. Part of Kensington and Chelsea sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea rules

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea tenancies and the local letting agents in Kensington and Chelsea 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

Market gardens turned into the Great Exhibition's Albertopolis, then estate-built stucco terraces for the Victorian wealthy. That history is why Kensington and Chelsea property behaves the way it does today.

Scope

What's included in Kensington and Chelsea

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Bayswater or Westbourne Park.

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

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

Local questions

Upholstery cleaning in Kensington and Chelsea — your questions

  • How much does an upholstery clean cost in Kensington and Chelsea?

    Two-seat sofa starts at £65 in Kensington and Chelsea, 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. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.

  • Which Kensington and Chelsea postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: SW10, SW3, SW5, SW7, W10, W11, W14, W2 and W8. On the ground that includes Bayswater, Chelsea, Earl's Court, Holland Park, Kensington and Ladbroke Grove.

  • How quickly can you get to Kensington and Chelsea?

    Next-day availability in most postcodes; end-of-tenancy jobs prioritised around check-out dates. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.

  • What about parking and permits in Kensington and Chelsea?

    Some of the tightest CPZs in London, mews entrances under 2.1m and communal-stair-only access in many mansion blocks. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

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

    Yes. Stucco-fronted terraces, mansion flats, mews houses and the Lancaster West and World's End estates 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 Kensington and Chelsea?

    £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 Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea 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 Kensington and Chelsea 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 Kensington and Chelsea, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.
