How it works
How upholstery cleaning works in Mortlake and East Sheen
Five steps, the same on every SW14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions, as the Mortlake and East Sheen stock goes, a median age of 39 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here 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 Mortlake and East Sheen customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW14 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. Mortlake (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Mortlake and East Sheen walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SW14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — which is what a 50% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Mortlake and East Sheen actually produces.
Insured and documented
£5m public liability, WoolSafe-approved chemistry on natural fibres and COSHH sheets on the van for everything else.
Fixed prices
Upholstery cleaning prices in Mortlake and East Sheen
Fixed prices for SW14 and the rest of Richmond upon Thames. 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 | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two-seat sofa | £65 | 45–60 min | Hot-water extraction with a hand tool, both faces of every cushion, plus the frame and skirt. |
| Three-seat sofa | £85 | 60–90 min | More surface and usually more soiling at the arms and headrest, where hair products and hands land. |
| Corner or L-shape sofa | £130 | 2 hrs | Priced per seat rather than per item, because a five-seat corner is genuinely two sofas' worth of fabric. |
| Armchair or dining chair (each) | £25 | 15–25 min | Booked alongside a sofa; on their own they are quoted against the £65 minimum visit. |
| Mattress clean and sanitise, double | £55 | 40 min | Extraction plus a dust-mite treatment, which is the reason most London flats book it at all. |

Scope
What's included in Mortlake and East Sheen
The same scope across SW14, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SW14 jobs: fibre identification and a colour-fastness test before any water touches the piece, with 50% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In Mortlake and East Sheen: dry vacuum and pre-treatment of grease, food and body-oil marks, the way it is done on Mortlake and East Sheen jobs

- Standard on Richmond upon Thames bookings: cushion faces, sides, arms, back panels and the frame, arranged with London Borough of Richmond upon Thames where the kerb needs it

Not included
- Guaranteed removal of dye stains, ink, bleach marks or old pet urine that has reached the foam, and we will say so before the SW14 visit rather than on the day
- Leather restoration or re-colouring — we clean and condition, we do not re-dye, outside the fixed price on Mortlake and East Sheen bookings
- Re-upholstery, foam replacement or structural repair, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW14

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 →

Mortlake and East Sheen substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — with 15% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — which is what a 50% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Mortlake and East Sheen actually produces is the mistake that costs a SW14 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Mortlake and East Sheen knows the pattern near The Boat Race finishing post: the Boat Race finish, the old brewery site and East Sheen's shopping parade. We plan the SW14 visit around it. Mortlake and East Sheen is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Level-crossing delays, Boat Race day closures and permit bays on the terraces. Nearest station is Mortlake (South Western), and one technician with a portable extraction machine — the standard kit for London flats, where a truck-mount hose cannot reach a fourth floor.

We test a hidden seam first. Velvet, viscose and some linens can't take wet extraction in this 50% flats neighbourhood, with 4,944 households on this patch, so where that's the case we quote a low-moisture clean instead of risking the fabric. Near The Boat Race finishing post that usually means an earlier start so the van can be unloaded once.
