Who Our Carpet Cleaning Service Is For
Homeowners
We help homeowners in Lewisham keep carpets fresh, hygienic and looking their best. Whether you want a one-off deep clean, regular maintenance, or treatment after a party, pets or building work, we tailor the service to your household.
Renters & Students
If you are renting a property or student accommodation, a professional carpet clean can make a real difference at the end of a tenancy. We work with inventory standards in mind, providing clear invoices for your landlord or letting agent if needed.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We support landlords and agents across Lewisham preparing properties between tenancies. Clean, fresh carpets help market a property faster and can extend the life of existing flooring, saving on replacement costs.
Businesses & Commercial Clients
From offices and shops to clinics and small hospitality venues, our professional carpet cleaning helps maintain a smart, hygienic environment for staff and visitors. We offer early morning, evening and weekend appointments to minimise disruption.
What Our Carpet Cleaning Service Includes
Our standard carpet cleaning visit typically includes:
- Initial inspection and fibre testing
- Moving light, easily movable furniture where safe to do so
- Thorough vacuuming with a high-filtration vacuum
- Pre-treatment of spots and stains (where removable)
- Application of suitable pre-spray to loosen soiling
- Hot water extraction (often called steam cleaning) or low-moisture cleaning, as appropriate
- Rinse and neutralisation to avoid sticky residues
- Optional deodorising for pet or smoke odours
- Grooming of the pile for faster drying and a neat finish
We can also provide specialist stain treatments (for example, for tea, coffee, wine, or make-up), and fabric protection where suitable, to help resist future spills.
What Is Not Included as Standard
To keep pricing clear and fair, some items sit outside our standard carpet clean, though many can be added on request:
- Full stain removal for permanent stains (bleach damage, severe urine damage, dye transfer)
- Repair work to carpets such as re-stretching, patching or re-fitting
- Extensive furniture removal (large wardrobes, heavy bookcases, aquariums, pianos)
- Cleaning of rugs, upholstery or mattresses – these are available as separate services
- Decontamination after severe flooding or biohazard incidents
We will always explain what can and cannot be achieved during our survey so expectations are realistic. If a stain is unlikely to come out fully, we will tell you before we start.
Our Step-by-Step Carpet Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can get in touch by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few simple questions – number of rooms, approximate sizes, type of property, any particular stains or concerns. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate. Where the job is more complex, we will recommend a survey.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger properties, businesses, or heavily soiled carpets, we carry out a quick survey. This can sometimes be done virtually using photos or video, or we can visit in person. We check fibre type, condition, access, parking and water supply. This allows us to confirm the price, method, and how long the job will take.
3. Preparation on the Day
On arrival, our professional team walks through the areas with you, confirming priorities. We place corner protectors and use dust sheets if needed to protect hard floors and skirting. Light furniture is moved where safe, and we vacuum thoroughly before applying any solutions. Carpets are then pre-treated, cleaned and rinsed, followed by final checks and advice on drying and aftercare.
Transparent Carpet Cleaning Pricing
We price our carpet cleaning fairly based on the size of the area, the condition of the carpets and any additional treatments requested. Typical pricing is per room or by square metre for large open spaces. Stain treatments, deodorising and fabric protection are quoted clearly in advance.
There are no hidden extras. Parking or congestion charges are discussed upfront where applicable in Lewisham. Before we start any work, you will know exactly what is included and the total cost, so you can make an informed decision.
Why Choose Professional Carpet Cleaning Over DIY?
Whilst hire machines are widely available, there are several reasons many Lewisham residents and businesses prefer a professional service:
- Professional machines extract more soil and moisture, reducing the risk of over-wetting and lingering odours.
- Correct cleaning solutions are matched to fibre type, helping to avoid shrinkage, colour bleed or damage.
- Experienced technicians understand how to treat specific stains safely and realistically.
- We leave carpets as dry as possible, so they are back in use sooner.
- You avoid the hassle of collecting, using and returning heavy equipment.
In short, professional cleaning protects your investment and can extend the life of your carpets compared to repeated DIY attempts.

Oven Cleaning Lewisham operates to high industry standards. Our teams are fully insured and carefully trained to work in homes and commercial settings.

Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take a careful, responsible approach to every carpet clean:
- Using modern machinery that reduces water usage while maintaining cleaning power
- Selecting detergents that are effective yet safe for typical UK households when used as directed

Wherever we can, we choose products with reduced environmental impact, while still delivering the high standard of cleanliness our Lewisham clients expect.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does carpet cleaning in Lewisham cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size of the areas to be cleaned, the condition of the carpets and whether you need additional treatments such as deodorising or stain protection. We usually quote per room for domestic work and by square metre or area for commercial spaces. Small flats are often pleasantly affordable, while large houses and offices are priced individually. Once we know the details, we provide a clear written estimate with no hidden extras, so you can decide comfortably before booking.
Can you provide same-day or urgent carpet cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice appointments in Lewisham, especially for emergencies such as spills, pet accidents or preparation for a check-out inspection. Availability will depend on existing bookings and the size of the job, so it is always worth calling us as early as possible. If we cannot attend the same day, we will offer the earliest suitable slot and advise what you can do in the meantime to minimise any damage to your carpets.
Are you insured while working in my property?
Yes, we are a fully insured cleaning company. We hold public liability cover to protect you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury while we work. In addition, we have goods in transit insurance covering equipment and items we move through your building. Our technicians are trained to follow safe systems of work, carry out checks, and use chemicals responsibly. If you need details for your landlord, agent or facilities manager, we can provide proof of cover on request.
What is included in a standard carpet cleaning service?
Our standard service includes inspection, vacuuming, pre-treatment of general spots, application of suitable cleaning solution, and either hot water extraction or low-moisture cleaning, followed by rinsing and grooming the pile. We also move light furniture where it is safe and practical to do so, working around heavier items. Basic deodorising is often included as part of the process. More complex stain removal, heavy odour treatments or fabric protection are optional extras and will be discussed and priced clearly before any work begins.
How far in advance should I book?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially during busy periods such as spring and moving season, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance. That said, we do keep some flexibility in our diary for smaller or urgent jobs in Lewisham. If you have a fixed deadline, such as an end-of-tenancy inspection or business event, please let us know when you enquire so we can plan accordingly and ensure your carpets are cleaned and dry in good time.
How long will my carpets take to dry?
Drying time varies depending on the carpet type, level of soiling, method used and ventilation in your property. As a general guide, carpets cleaned by hot water extraction are often touch-dry within a few hours and fully dry within 6–12 hours. Low-moisture methods may dry faster. We will advise you on airflow, heating and precautions such as taking care when walking from damp carpet onto hard floors. Where possible, we schedule work so drying can happen with minimal disruption to your day.
