Upholstery cleaning in Lewisham

We work in Lewisham every week — deptford's market and victorian new cross, hill villages at blackheath and forest hill, and catford's high street. Upholstery cleaning is priced against that reality, not a national average.

Fixed prices

Upholstery cleaning prices in Lewisham

These are the Lewisham 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 Lewisham
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 Lewisham

Why Lewisham is not a generic London job

The Horniman Museum and Gardens is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Lewisham.

The housing stock

What our crews walk into in Lewisham is victorian and edwardian terraces and conversions, 1960s catford estates and new lewisham town-centre towers, and the mix changes street by street — Bellingham and Downham (SE6), Brockley (SE4) and Catford (SE6) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

Parking is the job before the job here: steep hills at honor oak and forest hill, narrow terraced streets and expanding cpzs across se4 and se14. Locally that means wide estate roads with kerbside parking and level access — easy for a luton and steep hills, long front paths and conversion flats up two or three flights. Lewisham sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.

London Borough of Lewisham rules

London Borough of Lewisham tenancies and the local letting agents in Lewisham 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

Kentish villages absorbed by railways from the 1840s; Deptford's naval dockyard and Deptford Creek shaped its industrial edge. That history is why Lewisham property behaves the way it does today.

Scope

What's included in Lewisham

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Bellingham and Downham or Sydenham.

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 Lewisham — your questions

  • How much does an upholstery clean cost in Lewisham?

    Two-seat sofa starts at £65 in Lewisham, 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 Lewisham postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: SE12, SE13, SE14, SE23, SE26, SE4, SE6 and SE8. On the ground that includes Bellingham and Downham, Brockley, Catford, Deptford, Forest Hill and Grove Park.

  • How quickly can you get to Lewisham?

    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 Lewisham?

    Steep hills at Honor Oak and Forest Hill, narrow terraced streets and expanding CPZs across SE4 and SE14. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Lewisham and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

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

    Yes. Victorian and Edwardian terraces and conversions, 1960s Catford estates and new Lewisham town-centre towers 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 Lewisham?

    £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 Lewisham 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 Lewisham 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 Lewisham, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

The Hello Clean team were communicative with me. They did shift the time from 9am to 4.30pm the day before but that suited me better. On the day 4 cleaners came at 3.30. They spread around the house and were very quick and efficient: 90 minutes later they were done. It would have taken me… Read in full →

I hired Hello Services to conduct an end of tenancy clean before I moved into my new home. Throughout the quote and finalising of services, the customer services team were extremely helpful even when I needed to move the cleaning twice. The cleaning team (Nicole and Marius) were just as phenomenal. When walking through the… Read in full →

We had arranged for a deep clean of our new property, carpets and sofas following a house move. Following a complicated completion date, we had to rearrange our service for the next day.
