Overview

Upholstery cleaning in Lewisham SE13, explained

This page prices upholstery cleaning for Lewisham SE13 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 33% privately rented and 3,987 households in total. Work starts at £65, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lewisham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.

How it works

How upholstery cleaning works in Lewisham

Five steps, the same on every SE13 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Lewisham gives us council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, where 32% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is what we plan for here.

  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.

Why choose us

Why Lewisham customers book us

Four things decide whether a SE13 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.

Lewisham walls, not generic walls

We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Lewisham, often with surface conduit — which is what a 75% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Lewisham actually produces in SE13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE13, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — measured on the walk in from Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.

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. Roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers.

Booked around your day

Next-day availability in most postcodes; end-of-tenancy jobs prioritised around check-out dates. Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE13 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Upholstery cleaning prices in Lewisham

Fixed prices for SE13 and the rest of Lewisham. 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.
Upholstery cleaning price guide for Lewisham SE13
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.

Scope

What's included in Lewisham

The same scope across SE13, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

  • Fibre identification and a colour-fastness test before any water touches the piece, noted on the Lewisham job sheet so the next visit starts from it
  • Standard on Lewisham bookings: dry vacuum and pre-treatment of grease, food and body-oil marks, allowing for the 33% of SE13 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
  • On SE13 jobs: hot-water extraction or low-moisture clean, matched to the fabric, agreed on the doorstep in Lewisham before anything is unpacked
  • In Lewisham: cushion faces, sides, arms, back panels and the frame, timed against the walk in from Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern)
  • Air movers left running so the piece is touch-dry in 2–4 hours, checked on every SE13 visit

Not included

  • Guaranteed removal of dye stains, ink, bleach marks or old pet urine that has reached the foam, handled by London Borough of Lewisham or a specialist contractor instead
  • Leather restoration or re-colouring — we clean and condition, we do not re-dye, and we will say so before the SE13 visit rather than on the day
  • Re-upholstery, foam replacement or structural repair, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE13
  • Moving furniture between rooms or properties, which we refer on to the right trade in Lewisham

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 →

Working in Lewisham

Lewisham SE13 at a glance

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Lewisham — the numbers that actually change a upholstery cleaning quote.

Walk Lewisham from Lewisham Market on the High Street outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 75% of the 3,987 households in SE13 live in flats, 25% in houses.

33% of households rent privately and 32% own, which is why upholstery cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.

Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Lewisham, often with surface conduit — which is what a 75% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Lewisham actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Lewisham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in SE13, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — measured on the walk in from Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map.

Two streets can behave very differently in Lewisham: the market, the shopping centre and a cluster of new residential towers. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Lewisham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.

On access, roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers — 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 Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern).
