London Carpet Cleaning cleans carpets, sofas and rugs across Anerley, SE20, 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 flats along Anerley Road down to the terraces below Anerley Hill.
What Anerley homes are like
Anerley sits on the slope that runs down from Crystal Palace, and the ground here has always been steep. Anerley Hill was once so sharp that the trams needed special gearing to climb it, and you still feel that pitch in the streets and back gardens today. Most of the district falls in SE20, in the London Borough of Bromley, and the housing tells the story of the Victorian building boom that followed the Crystal Palace moving to nearby Penge Place in the 1850s.
The grand Victorian houses built along Anerley Road were mostly carved into flats through the last century, which is why so much of Anerley is flats inside old houses. A typical job is a garden flat or a first-floor conversion with a share of freehold, deep skirtings, tall ceilings and the original wide staircase shared with the flat upstairs. Anerley station sits on the same road, the A214, served by the Windrush line of the London Overground with Southern peak trains on top, and Crystal Palace station covers the northern edge. Betts Park, with its surviving stretch of the old Croydon Canal and the Heart of Anerley obelisk, is the green space most of our vans pass on the way in.
What we see across Anerley
The commonest booking is a period conversion coming up for a move or a first proper flat that has not been cleaned in years. The carpets soak up a lot in these homes: wool and wool-mix on the stairs, older synthetic in the bedrooms, and traffic lanes worn into the hall where two flats share one entrance. We steam clean, lift the ground-in grime, and deodorise where pets or long tenancies have left a smell. Sofas and velvet curtains come up well too, since the tall bay windows and dinner-cooking flats leave fabric tired more than damaged.
One honest limit for Anerley. In a ground-floor or garden flat on this slope, drying runs longer than the usual couple of hours, because these rooms sit low, hold damp and do not get much through-draught. We extract as much moisture as the machine will pull and leave the pile touch-dry, but on a cool day a heavy carpet can stay cool underfoot into the evening. Open a window, put the heating on low, and plan to keep off it for a few hours rather than expecting it bone-dry straight away.

Carpet, upholstery and rug cleaning in Anerley
The core job is hot-water steam carpet cleaning, which is what those worn conversion stairs and bedroom carpets need. We also handle sofa and upholstery cleaning for the fabric three-pieces and velvet curtains that fill these bays, and rug cleaning off-site, collected and returned free, for wool and delicate pieces that are safer washed in the workshop. We cover the rest of Bromley from here, along with neighbouring Penge and Crystal Palace just up the hill.
Anerley questions, answered
Which streets and postcodes do you cover in Anerley?
All of SE20 on the Anerley side, from Anerley Road and Anerley Hill across to Versailles Road and the streets around the station. We reach Anerley Park and the terraces towards Penge, and up to the Crystal Palace boundary. If your address sits between Anerley and Penge, we still cover it at the same fixed price.
Where will the cleaner park on my street?
Most Anerley side streets are free to park on, so the van usually gets a spot near the door. Anerley Road and Anerley Hill are busy A-road stretches, so for a flat on those we may pull into a quieter turning nearby and run the hose in. Tell us the floor and rough door distance when you book and we will plan the reach.
Do you do end-of-tenancy carpet cleaning for a deposit return?
Yes, and it is one of our steadiest Anerley jobs given how many flats here are rented. We clean carpets to inventory-clerk standard for the check-out, so the floors are not flagged and the deposit stands. Book it once furniture is out and the rooms are clear, and we will fit the whole flat in one visit.
Can you clean around a shared conversion staircase?
We can. Many Anerley conversions share the original Victorian stairs between two flats, and we clean only your demise, from your front door inward, working the flight and landing that belong to your flat. If both flats want the common stairs done together, we can quote that as one job on the day.
Every clean comes with our re-clean guarantee: if a treated area does not come up right, we come back and put it right at no cost. We are fully insured and DBS-checked, and we have cleaned carpets, sofas and rugs across Anerley and the rest of south-east London since 2009.
