Local Carpet Cleaning Specialists in Greenwich
We work exclusively in the Greenwich area, so we understand the typical carpet issues caused by busy London life – heavy foot traffic, pets, rental wear and tear and city pollution. Our cleaners are local, punctual and know the best approach for everything from modern apartments to period homes and commercial premises.
Because we are a local company, we can offer flexible appointments, including short-notice visits where possible, and a consistent, reliable service. Every job is carried out by trained, reference-checked technicians using professional machines and solutions suitable for UK carpets.

What Our Carpet Cleaning Service Includes
Our standard carpet cleaning visit typically includes:
- Initial inspection of carpet type, condition and stains
- Fibre testing where needed for delicate or unknown materials
- High-filtration vacuuming to remove dry soil and dust
- Spot and stain pre-treatment for marks and traffic lanes

- Grooming of carpet pile to aid drying and appearance
- Basic furniture moving within reason (sofas, chairs, small tables)
What Is Not Included as Standard
To keep our pricing fair and transparent, some items are not included in a standard carpet clean but can often be added on request:
- Extensive furniture moving (large wardrobes, heavy cabinets, fragile items)
- Cleaning of curtains, blinds or upholstery (available as separate services)
- Hard floor, tile or wooden floor cleaning
- Repair of carpet damage, re-stretching or fitting
- Stain protection treatments (e.g. Scotchgard) unless specifically quoted

If you are unsure whether something is included, simply ask during the quote stage and we will clarify in writing.
Our Step-by-Step Carpet Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with details of the rooms or areas you need cleaned, approximate sizes, type of property and any specific stains or issues. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give us. For straightforward jobs, we can usually confirm a price immediately.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger properties, commercial sites or heavily soiled carpets, we may recommend a brief survey. This can often be done virtually using photos or video, or we can visit in person at a convenient time. The survey allows us to identify carpet type, assess staining and confirm access, parking and any special requirements before we arrive.
3. Preparation on the Day
On arrival, our professional technician will walk through the job with you, confirm the agreed work and answer any questions. We then:
- Place protective coverings where needed to safeguard flooring and furniture
- Move light furniture within reason and block or pad items to protect them
- Vacuum thoroughly with a commercial machine
- Apply pre-sprays and stain treatments suited to the carpet fibres
- Carry out hot water extraction or low-moisture cleaning as appropriate
- Check all treated areas, carry out any necessary spotting work and groom the pile
Before we leave, we review the results with you, provide aftercare advice and explain approximate drying times.
Transparent Carpet Cleaning Prices in Greenwich
We believe in clear, honest pricing. Our carpet cleaning is usually priced per room or per square metre, depending on property type and the level of soiling. Factors that may affect the final cost include:
- Size of each room or area
- Number and severity of stains
- Accessibility and parking
- Choice of cleaning method (standard extraction vs specialist dry cleaning)
- Any optional extras, such as stain protection
Before any work starts, you will receive a clear written or emailed quote showing what is included. There are no hidden charges, and we will always discuss any recommended additions before going ahead.
Why Choose Professional Carpet Cleaning Instead of DIY
DIY hire machines and over-the-counter products can seem tempting, but they often leave too much moisture in the carpet, use harsh detergents or fail to remove residues effectively. This can lead to rapid re-soiling, lingering odours or even damage.
Our trained technicians use high-powered extraction machines that remove far more dirt and water than consumer units, helping carpets to dry faster and more evenly. We select cleaning solutions based on your carpet’s fibre type and condition, and we know how to treat common stains without spreading or setting them. Professional cleaning also helps maintain manufacturer warranties where applicable.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Cleaners Greenwich operates to recognised industry standards for safety and quality. For your peace of mind, we are:
- Fully insured with public liability cover, protecting you and your property during our visit
- Covered by goods in transit insurance if we need to move items or equipment through communal areas
- Staffed by trained carpet cleaning technicians who understand fibre types, stain chemistry and safe machine operation
We follow manufacturer and industry guidelines on temperature, moisture levels and compatible products, and we always carry out a colourfastness test where necessary before treating sensitive areas.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property as if it were our own. That means taking time to protect skirting boards, furniture and adjacent flooring, and communicating clearly about what is achievable, especially with older stains or worn carpets. Where possible, we use low-residue, environmentally considerate detergents and measured water usage, helping to reduce our environmental impact.
Regular professional cleaning can significantly extend the life of your carpets, reducing the need for premature replacement and cutting down on waste. We also advise on simple day-to-day care – such as vacuuming routines and prompt stain treatment – to keep your carpets looking their best between visits.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does carpet cleaning in Greenwich cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size of the areas to be cleaned, the level of soiling and any specific stains that require extra attention. We usually quote per room or per square metre, with clear minimum charges explained upfront. For most standard homes and flats, we can give an accurate estimate over the phone or by email using basic room sizes. Larger properties or commercial sites may need a brief survey. Once we’ve assessed what’s needed, you’ll receive a fixed, written quote with no hidden extras.
Can you offer same-day or urgent carpet cleaning?
Where our diary allows, we do our best to accommodate urgent and same-day carpet cleaning in Greenwich, especially for spills, accidents or move-out dates. Availability depends on existing bookings, so it’s always best to call as early as possible. If we cannot attend the same day, we’ll offer the earliest suitable time and advise on immediate steps you can take to minimise staining until we arrive. We also have some evening and weekend slots available, which are popular with busy households and businesses.
Are you insured if something is damaged?
Yes. Cleaners Greenwich is fully insured for your peace of mind. We carry public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to your property during our visit. In addition, our goods in transit insurance covers equipment and items we move through shared or communal spaces. Our cleaners are experienced and careful, and incidents are rare, but if anything does go wrong, we handle it transparently and in line with our insurance procedures. We’re always happy to provide proof of cover on request before work begins.
What exactly is included in your carpet cleaning service?
Our standard service includes an initial inspection, high-filtration vacuuming, pre-treatment of general soiling, targeted stain treatment where appropriate, and either hot water extraction or low-moisture cleaning depending on the carpet type. We also include light furniture moving within reason and a deodorising treatment as standard. Heavier furniture moves, carpet repairs, stain protection and specialist treatments for severe issues (like heavy pet urine) are not automatically included but can often be added by arrangement. Everything that will be done is clearly listed on your quote so you know exactly what to expect.
How far in advance should I book?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your carpet cleaning one to two weeks in advance, particularly if you need a specific day or time slot. During busy periods – such as the end of the month or just before holidays – our schedule can fill up quickly. However, we do keep some flexibility for short-notice jobs and emergencies, so it is always worth contacting us even if you need work done at short notice. We’ll offer the earliest available appointment that fits your needs.
