Who Our Carpet Cleaning Service Is For
Homeowners
We help homeowners freshen up living rooms, bedrooms, stairs and landings, remove stubborn marks from children and pets, and extend the life of carpets throughout the property. Regular professional cleaning keeps your home looking and smelling fresher while protecting your investment in quality flooring.
Renters
For tenants, professionally cleaned carpets can make a real difference at the end of a tenancy. We work to inventory standards, helping to reduce the risk of deposit disputes over soiling, odours and visible marks. We also offer pre-tenancy cleans if you want peace of mind before moving in.

We support landlords and letting agents across Kingston upon Thames with reliable, professional carpet cleaning between tenancies. Our service helps present properties at their best, reduce replacement costs and maintain a high standard for incoming tenants. We can work to tight turnaround times, subject to availability.

From small offices to shops and clinics, our commercial carpet cleaning service keeps high-traffic areas looking professional and safe. We offer one-off deep cleans as well as planned maintenance programmes, scheduling work around your trading hours to minimise disruption.
Students & Shared Houses
We regularly clean carpets in student accommodation and shared houses, tackling heavy traffic, drink spills and general wear. Our straightforward pricing and honest advice are ideal for student budgets, and we provide digital invoices and receipts for deposit claims if needed.
What Our Carpet Cleaning Service Includes
Every visit is tailored, but a typical clean will include:
- Initial inspection of carpet type, condition and problem areas
- Dry vacuuming with a commercial machine to remove loose soil and dust
- Targeted stain and spot treatment on marks and traffic lanes
- Hot water extraction (often called steam cleaning) or low-moisture cleaning, depending on fibre type
- Deodorising and neutralising of general odours where required
- Grooming of the pile to aid even drying and appearance
- Advice on drying times, ventilation and aftercare
What Is Not Included as Standard
To keep things clear and transparent, the following are normally excluded from our standard carpet cleaning service, but can often be added or quoted for separately:
- Rug cleaning (especially delicate or oriental rugs – these may require off-site treatment)
- Upholstery or sofa cleaning
- Hard floor cleaning (wood, laminate, tile, stone)
- Curtain or blind cleaning
- Major flood restoration or severe water damage work
- Removal of permanent damage such as burns, severe bleaching or worn/bare patches
We will always explain honestly what is and is not realistically achievable before we start, so you know exactly what to expect.
Our Step-by-Step Carpet Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quotation
You can contact us by phone, email or online form with some basic details: room sizes, number of carpets, type of property and any particular concerns (for example pet odours or heavy staining). Using this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation. For larger homes or commercial premises, we may offer an indicative price range initially, confirmed after a survey.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For standard residential jobs, we often carry out a virtual survey using photographs or video. For more complex work or commercial spaces, we arrange an onsite visit. This allows us to confirm carpet fibres, access, parking, stain types and any safety considerations. The survey helps us select the correct cleaning method and products, and to confirm a firm price before work begins.
3. Preparation on the Day
On arrival, our professional, trained technicians walk through the job with you and confirm the agreed work. We then:
- Move light furniture where possible and safe to do so
- Protect surrounding hard floors and corners as needed
- Check for colour fastness and pre-existing damage
- Set up machinery with attention to hose runs and trip hazards
Once everything is prepared and safe, we carry out the full clean, followed by a final inspection with you to ensure you’re satisfied before we pack away.
Transparent Pricing – How We Charge
We believe in simple, honest pricing with no hidden extras. Our carpet cleaning is usually priced by room or by area, depending on the layout and total size. Factors that can influence the cost include:
- Total floor area and number of rooms
- Level of soiling and number of stains to be treated
- Accessibility and parking arrangements
- Urgency (evening or short-notice appointments may carry a surcharge)
Your quotation will clearly state what is included, any optional extras and the final price payable. We are always happy to explain how the cost has been calculated.
Why Professional Carpet Cleaning Beats DIY
Hiring a supermarket machine or using over-the-counter products can seem cheaper, but it often leads to overwetting, residue build-up and even permanent damage. Our professional equipment delivers much higher vacuum power and controlled water pressure, allowing deep cleaning with faster drying times. We use industry-approved, fibre-safe solutions and know how to handle wool, synthetic and blended carpets correctly. Professional cleaning can remove embedded grit that wears down fibres, extending carpet life and often working out better value in the long run.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your carpets and property are fully protected while we work. Kingston upon Thames Carpet Cleaners is:
- Fully insured with public liability cover for work on your premises
- Covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance for our equipment
- Staffed by trained cleaning technicians experienced in stain removal and carpet care
We follow recognised industry guidance on safe chemical use, risk assessment and equipment maintenance. Before starting, we will highlight any pre-existing damage or areas of risk, and we work carefully to avoid marking walls, skirting or furniture.
Care, Protection & Sustainability
We take care of your carpets, your home and the environment. Where suitable, we choose low-toxicity, biodegradable solutions and use precise dosing to avoid overuse of chemicals. Our machines are regularly serviced to maintain efficiency, reducing energy and water consumption. We protect furniture with foil or plastic tabs where needed and use corner guards on delicate surfaces. Wastewater is disposed of responsibly in accordance with local regulations, and we always leave work areas clean and tidy when we finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does carpet cleaning cost?
The cost depends mainly on the size of the area, the number of rooms and how heavily soiled the carpets are. As a guide, small rooms and hallways are typically priced individually, with discounts for multiple areas cleaned in the same visit. Heavily stained or high-traffic carpets may take longer and therefore cost a little more. We provide a clear, fixed quotation before any work starts, so you know exactly what you will pay and what is included in the price.
Can you offer same-day or urgent carpet cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to help with urgent or same-day carpet cleaning in Kingston upon Thames, particularly for issues such as fresh spills, pet accidents or last-minute inspections. Same-day work is subject to availability and may carry a small surcharge to cover additional staffing or out-of-hours attendance. If we cannot attend the same day, we will offer the earliest suitable appointment and advise what you can safely do in the meantime to minimise permanent staining or damage.
Are you insured while working in my property?
Yes. We hold comprehensive public liability insurance to protect you and your property in the unlikely event that something goes wrong while we are working. Our equipment is also covered under goods in transit insurance when we travel to and from your premises. All work is carried out by trained, professional technicians who follow strict safety procedures, including risk assessments where appropriate. We are happy to provide confirmation of our insurance details on request before you book.
What exactly is included in your carpet cleaning service?
Our standard service includes inspection, commercial vacuuming, targeted stain treatment, the main cleaning method (usually hot water extraction or low-moisture cleaning), light deodorising and pile grooming. Moving of small, light furniture is also included where safe and practical. Large or very heavy items, rugs and upholstery are not automatically included but can often be added by arrangement. During your enquiry, we will confirm precisely what will be done in each room and note any specific concerns you want us to focus on.
How far in advance should I book?
For the widest choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least a week in advance, particularly if you need a specific day or time slot. During busy periods, such as end-of-tenancy seasons and pre-Christmas, availability can be tighter. That said, we do keep some flexibility for short-notice bookings and urgent work where possible. If you have a fixed deadline, such as a check-out inspection or event, please let us know when you enquire so we can prioritise accordingly.
How long will my carpets take to dry?
Drying times vary depending on the carpet type, level of soiling and ventilation, but most carpets are touch-dry within a few hours. We use powerful extraction to remove as much moisture as possible during cleaning, and we can advise on opening windows, using heating or air movement to speed things up. In normal conditions, you can usually walk on the carpets with clean footwear after we finish, but we recommend avoiding heavy furniture placement or rugs until they are fully dry to prevent marking or indentation.
