Overview
Upholstery cleaning in New Cross SE14, explained
Upholstery cleaning in New Cross SE14 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Lewisham, most of them mainly Victorian. 11,771 households sit inside this SE14 patch, 73% of them flats, so we quote on access near Goldsmiths, University of London rather than a London average.
How it works
How upholstery cleaning works in New Cross
Five steps, the same on every SE14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New Cross gives us council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, the reality on the streets around Goldsmiths, University of London 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 New Cross customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE14 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Next-day availability in most postcodes; end-of-tenancy jobs prioritised around check-out dates. New Cross (Overground, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
New Cross walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in SE14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE14, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 36% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Insured and documented
£1m public liability, WoolSafe-approved chemistry on natural fibres and COSHH sheets on the van for everything else.
Fixed prices
Upholstery cleaning prices in New Cross
Fixed prices for SE14 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.
| Job | From | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|
| Two-seat sofa | £65 | Hot-water extraction with a hand tool, both faces of every cushion, plus the frame and skirt. |
| Three-seat sofa | £85 | More surface and usually more soiling at the arms and headrest, where hair products and hands land. |
| Corner or L-shape sofa | Quoted per job — free quote | Priced per seat rather than per item, because a five-seat corner is genuinely two sofas' worth of fabric. |
| Armchair or dining chair (each) | Quoted per job — free quote | Booked alongside a sofa; on their own they are quoted against the £65 minimum visit. |
| Mattress clean and sanitise, double | £55 | 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 New Cross
The same scope across SE14, 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 New Cross 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 34% of SE14 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On SE14 jobs: hot-water extraction or low-moisture clean, matched to the fabric, agreed on the doorstep in New Cross before anything is unpacked
- In New Cross: cushion faces, sides, arms, back panels and the frame, timed against the walk in from New Cross (Overground, Southeastern)
- Air movers left running so the piece is touch-dry in 2–4 hours, checked on every SE14 visit
Not included
- Guaranteed removal of dye stains, ink, bleach marks or old pet urine that has reached the foam, outside the fixed price on New Cross bookings
- Leather restoration or re-colouring — we clean and condition, we do not re-dye, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE14
- Re-upholstery, foam replacement or structural repair, handled by London Borough of Lewisham or a specialist contractor instead
- Moving furniture between rooms or properties, and we will say so before the SE14 visit rather than on the day
Upholstery & Sofa Cleaning reviews from Greater London customers
★★★★★Trustpilot
We booked a whole house cleaning for a new property. Diana and Alex called ahead to let me know they were on their way - this was great as I could prepare for their arrival. They cleaned everything perfectly - bathroom surfaces were shining, skirting and windows were “like new” and the carpets were deep… Read in full →
★★★★★Trustpilot
Had an above and beyond experience with our cleaners, Diana and Alex. They were honest, professional, friendly, and did an amazing job with what they were tasked with. When moving house I’d always assume that there would be the odd cupboard or bathroom that would be filthy, but not an entire 4 bedroom house like… Read in full →
★★★★★Hello Services
Thought the cleaning service was very good. They arrived and did a deep hoover, cleaning all areas and were very efficient. My carpets were steam cleaned and are now back to looking new. Very impressed overall.

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers New Cross — the numbers that actually change a upholstery cleaning quote.
Census 2021 puts New Cross at 11,771 households with a median age of 31.9. The mainly Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 27% houses and 73% flats need different handling in SE14.
Private renting sits at 34% and owner-occupation at 30%; the first group books upholstery cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here behind the plaster in SE14. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in SE14, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — with 36% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows New Cross knows the pattern near Goldsmiths, University of London: goldsmiths' campus, the Venue and student-heavy Victorian streets. We plan the SE14 visit around it. New Cross is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
September student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets. Nearest station is New Cross (Overground, Southeastern), and one technician with a portable extraction machine — the standard kit for London flats, where a truck-mount hose cannot reach a fourth floor.
