Carpet Cleaning Prices London

Carpet cleaning in London starts at a £75 minimum call-out, with rooms priced from £19 and whole-property cleans from £120. Every price on this page is a real, fixed rate — not a “from” figure that changes when we arrive. You get the full quote before we start, and there are no hidden extras.

Most London carpet cleaning companies will not publish their prices at all. We do, because it saves you a phone call and because we are confident the rates are fair. Below is our complete 2026 price list for carpets, rugs, sofas, mattresses, curtains and commercial work, followed by an honest explanation of what changes a price and what is included.

How much does carpet cleaning cost in London?

Professional carpet cleaning in London starts at a £75 minimum call-out, and individual rooms are priced from £19 for a hallway up to £160 for a four-bedroom clean. Pricing is per room rather than per hour, so a slow, difficult job does not cost you more than a quick one.

Carpet cleaning prices by property size

A whole-property carpet clean starts at £120 for a one-bedroom home or flat and £145 for a two-bedroom. Booking the whole property works out cheaper than booking rooms individually once you reach two bedrooms or more, and it is the option most landlords, tenants and people moving house choose.

Moving out? A whole-property clean with a receipt is what most letting agents ask for. See our end of tenancy carpet cleaning page for what agents typically require.

What affects the price of a carpet clean?

The four things that change a carpet cleaning price are room size, carpet material, stain severity and access. Here is how each one works in practice, so nothing on your final quote comes as a surprise.

• Room size. Our room prices assume up to 10 m² for a hallway or boxroom and up to 15 m² for a lounge or living room. Unusually large rooms are quoted on the square metre.
• Carpet material. Synthetic carpets clean quickly and cost the standard rate. Wool, silk and natural fibres such as sisal need lower moisture, gentler solutions and more care, so they take longer.
• Stain severity. General soiling is covered by the standard price. Heavy pet soiling, old set-in stains or odour treatment may need a targeted treatment on top — we will tell you the cost before we do it, never after.
• Access. Our machinery is heavy. Upper floors with no lift, narrow staircases or long carries from the van add time to the job.

Tell us your postcode, the rooms you want cleaned and the carpet type when you call, and we will give you an exact figure over the phone.

What is included in the price?

Every carpet clean includes a pre-vacuum, moving light furniture, pre-treatment of visible stains, hot water extraction cleaning and grooming of the pile. There is no separate charge for any of that — it is simply how the job is done properly.

• Thorough pre-vacuum to lift dry soil before any water is applied
• Moving sofas, tables and light furniture, and cleaning underneath
• Pre-treatment and agitation of visible stains and traffic lanes
• Hot water extraction — the method most carpet manufacturers recommend
• Eco-friendly, non-toxic solutions that are safe for children and pets once dry
• Grooming the pile so the carpet dries evenly, usually within 2–4 hours

Is there a minimum charge?

Yes — our minimum call-out charge is £75.00, which applies to the first item we clean. Additional rooms and items are then charged at the list prices on this page. The minimum covers the travel, setup and equipment time that every visit requires regardless of how small the job is.

This is why booking several rooms in one visit is far better value than booking them separately. If you are having one small area cleaned, it is worth adding a rug, a sofa or the stairs to the same appointment.

Rug cleaning prices

Rug cleaning in London is priced by size: £19 for a small rug up to 3 m², £49 for a medium rug up to 7 m², and £69 for a large rug up to 15 m². We collect, clean and return rugs across London.

Persian, silk, antique and hand-knotted rugs are cleaned by hand rather than machine-cleaned in your home, to protect the fibres and dyes. See Persian rug cleaning, or our general rug cleaning service.

Sofa and upholstery cleaning prices

Sofa cleaning in London costs £35 for an armchair, £65 for a two-seater sofa and £89 for a three-seater, with office chairs from £16. Prices cover fabric and leather, with the method matched to the material.

Leather is cleaned and re-conditioned to prevent cracking. Velvet, suede and other delicate fabrics are tested first and cleaned with low-moisture methods to avoid watermarks. More on sofa and upholstery cleaning and leather sofa cleaning.

Mattress and curtain cleaning prices

Mattress cleaning costs £40 for a single and £55 for a double. Curtains are priced per pair by length, and blinds start at £15.

Mattress cleaning removes dust mites, sweat and allergens that build up over years of use. See mattress cleaning and curtain cleaning.

Commercial and office carpet cleaning prices

Office carpet cleaning costs £145 for up to 50 m² and £245 for up to 100 m², or £2.50 per square metre for larger commercial spaces. We work out of hours and at weekends so your business does not lose trading time.

We clean carpets for London offices, shops, restaurants, bars and landlords, with maintenance contracts available for high-traffic spaces. See commercial carpet cleaning.

Stain removal pricing

Individual stain removal starts at £30 per stain when it is booked as part of a wider clean. If you are already having the room cleaned, ordinary stains are treated as part of the standard price.

Stains we are asked about most often — and regularly remove — include red wine, coffee, black tea, pet accidents, blood and grease. Speed matters far more than the product used: a fresh spill blotted and treated within a day is usually removable in full. See our stain removal service.

Is professional cleaning cheaper than hiring a machine?

Hiring a carpet cleaning machine usually costs £25–£35 a day plus detergent, which looks cheaper until you add your own time and the risk of over-wetting. The honest comparison is this.

Hire machines are domestic units with a fraction of the suction of professional equipment. Less suction means more water left in the carpet, which means drying times of a day or more instead of 2–4 hours, and a real risk of shrinkage, browning or mould in the underlay. You also collect the machine, do the work, and return it.

For one small room where the carpet is only lightly soiled, hiring can be reasonable. For a whole property, wool carpets, set-in stains or an end-of-tenancy clean where a deposit is at stake, professional cleaning is better value and considerably lower risk.
