Fixed prices

Upholstery cleaning prices in Richmond upon Thames

These are the Richmond upon Thames 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 Richmond upon Thames
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 Richmond upon Thames

Why Richmond upon Thames is not a generic London job

Kew Gardens and Richmond Park is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Richmond upon Thames.

The housing stock

The stock in Richmond upon Thames is georgian and victorian villas, edwardian terraces, mansion flats and riverside conversions, and the mix changes street by street — Barnes (SW13), Hampton and Hampton Hill (TW12) and Hampton Wick (TW11) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

London Borough of Richmond upon Thames sets the constraint: conservation-area streets with narrow entrances, flood-zone riverside loading limits and strict cpzs in richmond and twickenham. Locally that means narrow village lanes, conservation-area limits and boat race day closures and riverside lanes are narrow and flood-prone; driveways elsewhere. Richmond upon Thames sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.

London Borough of Richmond upon Thames rules

London Borough of Richmond upon Thames tenancies and the local letting agents in Richmond upon Thames 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

Royal palaces at Richmond and Hampton Court set the tone; Georgian and Victorian villas followed the river and the railway. That history is why Richmond upon Thames property behaves the way it does today.

Scope

What's included in Richmond upon Thames

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Barnes or Whitton.

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
  • Air movers left running so the piece is touch-dry in 2–4 hours

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
  • Moving furniture between rooms or properties

Method

How a Richmond upon Thames booking runs

Five steps, the same on every Richmond upon Thames job, so you know what happens before you commit.
  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.

Local questions

Upholstery cleaning in Richmond upon Thames — your questions

  • How much does an upholstery clean cost in Richmond upon Thames?

    Two-seat sofa starts at £65 in Richmond upon Thames, 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 Richmond upon Thames postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: SW13, SW14, SW15, TW1, TW10, TW11, TW12, TW2 and TW9. On the ground that includes Barnes, Hampton and Hampton Hill, Hampton Wick, Kew, Mortlake and East Sheen and Richmond.

  • How quickly can you get to Richmond upon Thames?

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

  • What about parking and permits in Richmond upon Thames?

    Conservation-area streets with narrow entrances, flood-zone riverside loading limits and strict CPZs in Richmond and Twickenham. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in Richmond upon Thames flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Georgian and Victorian villas, Edwardian terraces, mansion flats and riverside conversions 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 Richmond upon Thames?

    £5m 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 Richmond upon Thames 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 Richmond upon Thames 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 Richmond upon Thames, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
