London upholstery cleaning · Central London
Upholstery cleaning across Westminster, from NW1, NW8 and SW1 outwards. Government, embassies and West End retail beside stucco Belgravia terraces and Church Street market flats, and that is what shapes every quote we write here.
Fixed prices
| 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. |

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 Westminster
What our crews walk into in Westminster is grade-listed stucco terraces, mansion blocks, peabody estates and prime new-build around victoria, and the mix changes street by street — Belgravia (SW1), Covent Garden (WC2) and Fitzrovia (W1) each behave differently on the day.
On the ground, congestion charge, ulez, dense cpzs operating to 18:30 and beyond — most jobs need a suspended bay or dispensation. Locally that means estate parking rules, mews arches with height limits and listed staircases requiring protection and pedestrianised piazza with timed vehicle access only, and narrow stairs above shops. Part of Westminster sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, so the charge is quoted as its own line rather than hidden in the labour rate.
Most flats in Westminster are leasehold, and managing agents here ask for a public liability certificate before a contractor books the goods lift or works in a communal area. Ours goes out with the booking confirmation, along with the COSHH sheets for every product the crew carries.
Why it looks like this: grew from the abbey and royal court; the grosvenor and portman estates laid out the stucco squares still standing today.
Scope
Method
Step 1
A hidden seam is tested for colour-fastness and shrinkage before the machine is switched on.
Step 2
Deep vacuum with an upholstery tool — most of what is in a London sofa is dry grit.
Step 3
Grease, food and body oils are treated individually and given dwell time.
Step 4
Hot-water extraction at controlled moisture, or a low-moisture pass on delicate fabrics.
Step 5
Pile groomed straight and air movers left running so nobody sits on a damp cushion.
Coverage
Also in this borough
Hot-water extraction for wool, synthetic and sisal, booked in the same visit as the sofa.
The whole-property clean most upholstery work is booked alongside at move-out.
Kitchen, bathrooms and every hard surface, top of the wardrobe to the skirting.
Sofas, beds and wardrobes taken away and reused or recycled wherever they still can be.
Two-seat sofa starts at £65 in Westminster, 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. Part of the borough is inside the Congestion Charge zone, so a £15 daily charge is added as its own line when the job falls inside the charging hours.
We cover the whole borough: NW1, NW8, SW1, SW7, W1, W2, W9, WC1 and WC2. On the ground that includes Belgravia, Covent Garden, Fitzrovia, Knightsbridge, Maida Vale and Marylebone.
Next-day availability in most postcodes; end-of-tenancy jobs prioritised around check-out dates. Central London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Congestion Charge, ULEZ, dense CPZs operating to 18:30 and beyond — most jobs need a suspended bay or dispensation. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with Westminster City Council and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Grade-listed stucco terraces, mansion blocks, Peabody estates and prime new-build around Victoria 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.
£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 Westminster City Council tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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 Westminster postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
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 Westminster, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

I recently used Hello Services for a full carpet clean throughout my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the moment I contacted them, their communication was clear, friendly, and professional. They arrived on time, fully equipped, and explained the entire process before starting.

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 →
