London Carpet Cleaning cleans carpets, sofas and rugs across Addington, CR0, from £36 a room and touch-dry in 1 to 2 hours. Fixed prices, no call-out fee, and a re-clean guarantee. We have worked these streets since 2009, from the crescents off Central Parade to the older houses up by Gravel Hill.
What Addington homes are like
Addington is really two places under one name. Up on Gravel Hill sits the old village, a conservation area since 1973, with Addington Palace and its golf course behind the trees and a scatter of larger detached and period houses on generous plots. Then the ground drops away to the big estate that most people mean by Addington, laid out from 1935 as a planned garden village on Fisher’s Farm and finished after the war. That estate is the archetype here: brick semi-detached council houses, built in a uniform style on crescents that radiate out from Central Parade, with pockets of flats and a run of the bird-named roads like Goldcrest Way and Headley Drive.
The place sits high on the far south-eastern edge of Croydon, out where Greater London runs up against the Surrey and Kent boundary, and it feels it in winter. Tramlink route 3 climbs through the Addington Hills to reach it, with stops at Gravel Hill, King Henry’s Drive and the terminus by Central Parade, and that tram is the main link to East Croydon and on to town. Lodge Lane is the old northern way in, Castle Hill Avenue and Fieldway carry the estate traffic, and St Edward’s church has stood at the end of the parade since 1957. Most of these houses are still fitted wall to wall, a lot of them in a hard-wearing polyester or wool-mix rather than the deep wool you find in the villa suburbs.
What we see across Addington
This is family housing and the jobs reflect it. The steady work is stairs and landings walked grey in a busy house, a front room after a birthday party has ground squash and crisps into the pile, and the odd end-of-tenancy where a whole flat needs doing to get a deposit back off the landlord. Sitting up on the hill with greens and the Addington Hills woodland close by, mud is the other constant: boots come in off the green and off the tram walk and the hallway and bottom stairs take the worst of it. Fabric settees where children spill their drinks are a weekly booking, and so are mattresses that need a proper hot-water clean after a bad night.
One honest limit. Felt-tip and biro that a child has pressed into a bedroom carpet, and old dye-based stains generally, will lighten a lot but do not always shift completely, and a solvent mark that has sat for months can be in for good. We treat it, and often it lifts far better than owners expect, but we will warn you on the doorstep if we think a mark is permanent rather than take the money and leave you let down.
Around Addington: New Addington
New Addington is the heart of the estate and where most of our Addington work sits. Croydon added the Fieldway Estate here, over 1,400 houses finished by 1968, and it has kept its own identity at the northern end. The stock is the same postwar semis and low flats on looping crescents, Central Parade is the shopping and bus hub, and the Fieldway and New Addington tram stops put it about half an hour from Croydon. It is a settled, hard-working corner, and the carpets we lift here are honest family carpets that have taken years of traffic without ever being cleaned properly.

Carpet, upholstery and rug cleaning in Addington
The core service is hot-water extraction, and our steam carpet cleaning is what brings a grey stair run and a muddy hallway back in a single visit. For the settees the children keep christening we do upholstery and sofa cleaning, lifting spills and marks from the fabric without soaking the frame. Wool and delicate rugs come back to our workshop for a full wash under rug cleaning, with free collection and return across CR0. If you want the same work done in the rest of Croydon, or nearby in Forestdale and Shirley, it is the same team and the same fixed prices.
Addington questions, answered
Which streets and postcodes do you cover?
All of Addington and New Addington across CR0, from the old village up by Gravel Hill down through the whole estate: Central Parade, Lodge Lane, Fieldway, Headley Drive, Castle Hill Avenue, Goldcrest Way and the crescents off them. If you are just over the edge toward Selsdon or Forestdale we reach you too, so it is worth asking when you book.
Where will the technician park?
The estate roads are mostly free on-street parking with no controlled zone, so we usually pull up close to the door and run the hose from the van at the kerb. A few of the semis have a short drive, which is easier still. Up in the old village around Gravel Hill most houses have their own drive. Wherever you are, we only need to be reasonably near the front door.
Do you do end-of-tenancy carpet cleans out here?
Yes, it is one of our commonest Addington jobs, especially across the rented estate housing. We clean the whole flat or house to the standard letting agents and landlords look for, and can time it around your check-out. It is the same fixed per-room pricing, so you know the cost before we start, with no surprise on the day.
How long will the carpets take to dry?
Most carpets here are touch-dry in one to two hours. Sitting up on the hill the air can be damp in winter, so a heavily soiled hallway or a dense pile may take a little longer, and we lift the pile as we go and can leave an air mover on the wettest patch. On a decent day with the windows open you are usually walking on it the same afternoon.
Every clean carries our re-clean guarantee: if a treated area does not come up as it should, we come back and put it right at no extra cost. We are fully insured and DBS-checked, and we have cleaned carpets, sofas and rugs across Addington and the rest of Croydon since 2009.
