London Carpet Cleaning cleans carpets, sofas and rugs across Cannon Hill, SW20, 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 Blay houses along Cannon Hill Lane to the avenues backing onto the Common.
What Cannon Hill homes are like
Cannon Hill is a 1920s and 1930s suburb on the Morden edge of Merton, built largely by the developer George Blay on what had been the parkland of Cannon Hill House. The streets are wide and the houses sit slightly set back, mostly terraced and semi-detached, with a little detached stock nearer the green. Blay houses on Cannon Hill Lane, Parkway and Elm Walk are well known locally for their generous rooms, big bright windows and stained-glass doors, and most have a drive and a long rear garden. Cannon Hill Common, fifty-odd acres with an ornamental lake left over from the old house grounds, sits at the heart of it. South Merton station on Martin Way runs Thameslink services up the Sutton Loop, while Raynes Park a little to the north takes you into Waterloo. Car ownership here is high and the verges are full, so most of our work is reached off a private drive rather than a tight parking bay.
What we see across Cannon Hill
Because these are family houses with gardens and the Common on the doorstep, the jobs are honest domestic ones. Stairs and landings worn down the middle, lounges that take the brunt of a busy household, and the spare bedroom given a freshen-up before guests arrive. Wool and wool-mix carpets are common in the older Blay houses, and they come up beautifully with a proper hot-water extraction. Pale carpets in the better front rooms show every tea ring and traffic lane, and those are the ones people most want sorted. One honest limitation: a felt-tip or biro mark that a child has pressed into the pile, the kind that turns up halfway up a staircase, will lift a long way but does not always come out in full. We will tell you on the doorstep if we think a mark is in for good rather than promise it and leave you disappointed.

Carpet, upholstery and rug cleaning in Cannon Hill
The core of what we do here is hot-water carpet cleaning, the deep extraction method that rinses the dirt out and leaves the pile touch-dry within a couple of hours. We also clean sofas and armchairs with our fabric upholstery service, which is the one to book for grubby arms and headrests on a much-used settee. Larger wool pieces go back to the workshop for proper rug cleaning, collected from your door and returned clean and dry. We cover the rest of Merton too, and you can see the full picture on our Merton carpet cleaning page.
Cannon Hill questions, answered
Which roads and postcodes around Cannon Hill do you cover?
We cover the whole of Cannon Hill in SW20 and the SM4 edge towards Morden, including Cannon Hill Lane, West Barnes Lane, Martin Way, Grand Drive and the streets around the Common. We also work the neighbouring parts of Raynes Park and Cottenham Park, so a single visit can take in more than one address if needed.
Where do you park when you come to clean?
Most Cannon Hill houses have their own drive, and that is usually where we set up, running the hose straight in from the van. On the busier stretches of Cannon Hill Lane and West Barnes Lane we will use the nearest kerb space if the drive is full. There is no resident permit scheme across most of the area, so parking is rarely the holdup it is closer to Wimbledon.
Can you get the wool carpets in the older houses really clean?
Yes. The wool and wool-mix carpets common in the Blay houses respond very well to hot-water extraction, which lifts grit and oils from deep in the pile without soaking the backing. We adjust the heat and rinse for natural fibres so the wool is not stressed, and the carpet is left damp to the touch rather than wet, drying fully in an hour or two.
How long will the carpets take to dry?
Plan on one to two hours for a normal carpet, a little longer for thick wool or a through-lounge done in one go. We extract as much moisture as the machine will pull, so you are left with a slightly damp pile, not a soaked one. Opening a window and putting the heating on for a while speeds it up, and you can walk on it carefully straight away.
Every clean is backed by our re-clean guarantee: if a spot you flagged comes back, we return and put it right. We are fully insured and DBS-checked, and we have been cleaning carpets, sofas and rugs across Cannon Hill and the rest of Merton since 2009.
