London Carpet Cleaning cleans carpets, sofas and rugs across Aldgate, EC3, 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 Middlesex Street Estate towers to the new blocks along the Minories.
What Aldgate homes are like
Aldgate sits on the eastern edge of the City of London, where the old Roman gate once stood and where the boundary with Whitechapel still runs. Two kinds of home dominate, and they could hardly be more different. The first is council-built: the Middlesex Street Estate, put up for the City Corporation between 1965 and 1970, with the 23-storey Petticoat Tower and the low-rise flats ringed around Petticoat Square. The second is brand new, the glass-and-metal apartment blocks that have gone up along the Minories and around Aldgate Square. The Haydon on Minories, finished in 2024, is a good example, all studios to penthouses with a concierge downstairs.
Aldgate station is the useful landmark for us: it is on the Circle line and is the eastern end of the Metropolitan line, so half our carry-in comes off those platforms. Aldgate East, a short walk over the boundary on the District and Hammersmith and City lines, is the other. The Aldgate Pump on the corner and St Botolph’s church give the crossroads its shape, and Petticoat Lane, now Middlesex Street on the map, still runs the market on Sunday.
What we see across Aldgate
The estate flats and the new apartments give us two separate jobs. In the towers and around Petticoat Square the carpet is older, fitted wall to wall, and the lifts are small, so we bring the kit up in stages and mind the shared landings. In the new blocks it is pale greige carpet in bedrooms over a hard subfloor, the sort that shows every footprint and every drop of curry from a big family meal. We get a lot of that here: an iftar plate goes over, a yellow turmeric stain sets, and it needs patient hot-water extraction rather than a quick scrub. Stair runners take a beating too, mud trodden up from the pitches at the weekend.
One honest limit. Turmeric and old pet stains that have soaked through into the underlay can leave a faint shadow after cleaning, especially on light new-build carpet. We lift the vast majority and tell you straight if a mark is in the backing before we start, so there are no surprises.

Carpet, upholstery and rug cleaning in Aldgate
Most jobs here are a hot-water steam carpet clean that lifts the ground-in traffic and leaves the pile touch-dry in an hour or two. We also do settees and armchairs with upholstery cleaning, handy in the smaller estate flats where one sofa carries years of use, and we take rugs away for proper rug cleaning off site, then bring them back dry. If you are elsewhere in the Square Mile, the same team covers the rest of the City of London, and neighbours near Tower Hill and Fenchurch Street get the same fixed prices.
Aldgate questions, answered
Which Aldgate streets and postcodes do you cover?
All of EC3 around the gyratory: Minories, Mansell Street, Leman Street, Portsoken Street, Crutched Friars, Goodman’s Yard and the Middlesex Street Estate up towards Petticoat Lane. We also reach the EC3N and EC3A pockets and cross the line into the Whitechapel High Street end when it is easier for you.
Can you park at a tower block or a new development?
We travel in and carry the machine to the door, so estate parking is rarely a problem. For the Middlesex Street towers we use the estate bays or a short loading stop and take the lift up. New blocks like The Haydon usually have a loading bay or a concierge who can point us in, so tell us the block name when you book.
Do you handle end-of-tenancy flats for the deposit?
Yes, that is one of our commonest Aldgate jobs, given how many rentals turn over here. We clean the carpets throughout so the flat shows well for the inventory check, and we can time it around the key handover. Book a few days ahead, as City dates fill up quickly.
How long will the carpets take to dry?
Most carpets are touch-dry in one to two hours because the machine pulls the moisture back out as it works, so you are not left with a soaked floor. A thick wool rug or a heavily soiled stair runner can take a little longer. Open a window or leave the flat ventilated and it speeds things along.
Every clean comes with our re-clean guarantee: if a mark we treated comes back, we return and put it right at no charge. We are fully insured and DBS-checked, and we have cleaned carpets, sofas and rugs across Aldgate and the City of London since 2009.
