London Carpet Cleaning cleans carpets, sofas and rugs across Ely Place, EC1, 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 chambers behind the gate to the jewellery offices along Hatton Garden.
What Ely Place homes are like
Ely Place is not really homes at all. It is a gated Georgian cul-de-sac, two rows of tall brick terraces built in 1772 by the architect Robert Taylor, sealed off from Holborn Circus by high walls and a beadles’ gatehouse that still controls the entrance. Most of the buildings behind that gate are barristers’ chambers and professional offices, with St Etheldreda’s Church, once the bishops of Ely’s private chapel, sitting halfway down the street. What carpet there is tends to be the hard-wearing corridor and reception kind, run over daily by people in good shoes.
Step out of the gate and the character shifts. Hatton Garden, the diamond and jewellery quarter, runs alongside, its workshops and showrooms threaded through Ely Court, Mitre Court and St Cross Street. Charterhouse Street and Farringdon Road frame the south and east. The two nearest stations tell you how central this is: Chancery Lane on the Central line to the west, and Farringdon, with the Elizabeth line and Thameslink, a short walk to the north-east.
What we see across Ely Place
The jobs here are firmly working ones. Chambers corridors that have gone flat and grey down the traffic lane, reception and meeting-room carpet marked by chairs and spills, and the occasional cream settee in a partner’s room that has taken a coffee ring or a greasy patch on the arm. We do a fair amount after hours, because a working set does not want damp carpet under its feet at nine the next morning, and the gate makes an early or late slot easy to arrange. Upstairs, where a few buildings keep flats above the offices, we see the usual domestic run of wool rugs, mattresses and long lounge curtains.
One honest limit. A greasy traffic lane in a heavily used corridor will come up far brighter, but if the pile has been walked flat and worn shiny over years, cleaning restores colour and freshness without putting back fibre that is physically gone. We will tell you plainly on the day whether you are looking at a clean or a recarpet.

Carpet, upholstery and rug cleaning in Ely Place
Our main service on Ely Place is hot-water extraction, or steam carpet cleaning, which rinses the detergent and soil back out so the pile dries in an hour or two rather than staying wet all day. For the settees and armchairs in chambers and flats we use gentler upholstery cleaning matched to the fabric, cream and delicate covers included. Wool and antique pieces we prefer to take away for proper rug cleaning at our workshop, with free collection and return so the piece leaves and comes back wrapped. We cover the rest of the City of London from here too, and nearby Clerkenwell and Saffron Hill sit within a few minutes.
Ely Place questions, answered
Which postcodes and streets around Ely Place do you cover?
We cover the whole of Ely Place and the EC1N streets around it: Ely Court, Mitre Court, St Cross Street, Charterhouse Street and along Hatton Garden. We also reach across the wider EC1 postcodes into Clerkenwell, Farringdon and Holborn, so if you are close by and not sure, just ask and we will confirm.
How do you get past the gate and where do you park?
Ely Place is a private gated street with its own beadles, so we phone ahead and arrange access rather than assuming we can drive straight in. Loading is usually done from Charterhouse Street or Hatton Garden and the kit carried in, which is why after-hours slots work so well here. Tell us the building and floor when you book.
Can you clean the corridor carpet in barristers’ chambers out of hours?
Yes, and it is one of our most common bookings on the street. We work evenings and weekends around a set’s diary, so the corridor and rooms are cleaned once everyone has left and dry well before the first conference the next morning. Give us the layout and we will quote room by room.
How long will the carpet take to dry?
Most carpet is touch-dry in one to two hours because hot-water extraction pulls the moisture back out rather than leaving it in the pile. Thick wool or a heavily worked traffic lane can take a little longer. Keep the air moving and it speeds up, and we can leave an air mover running on a big office job.
Every clean comes with our re-clean guarantee: if a spot you pointed out lifts and returns, we come back and put it right at no charge. We are fully insured and DBS-checked, which matters on a street of chambers and jewellery offices, and we have cleaned carpets, sofas and rugs across the City of London since 2009.
