London Carpet Cleaning cleans carpets, sofas and rugs across Ickenham, UB10, 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, out from the old village where the 1866 pump and pond still sit at the junction of Swakeleys Road and Long Lane.
What Ickenham homes are like
Ickenham was a farming village until the railway came, and the housing still tells that story in two halves. Around the pond, St Giles’ Church, whose nave dates to 1335, and Grade I listed Swakeleys House, the conservation core keeps its period cottages and old features. Everything to the west is Metroland. When 1,382 acres of the Swakeleys estate went to auction on 5 July 1922, roads such as Swakeleys Drive, Milton Road, Court Road and Thornhill Road, originally Park Road, were laid out with red-brick semis and detached houses, and they still set the tone. Detached and semi-detached family houses make up the great bulk of the stock, so this is a place of proper hallways, front rooms and full staircases rather than flats. The station, on the Uxbridge branch of both the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines between Hillingdon and Ruislip, sits over on Glebe Avenue by the Compass Theatre. One thing shapes our working day here: nearly every house has its own drive, so we park on it and run the hose straight to the door.
What we see across Ickenham
Two jobs come round again and again behind these doors. The first is stairs, landings and long through-rooms in the interwar stock, wool and wool-blend pile worn grey and flat straight down the centre where the whole household treads, while the edges and the spindles stay clean. We work a staircase right into the corners and along the spindles, and it is some of the most satisfying work we do. The second is upholstery and the small disasters family life leaves behind: a cream three-piece that has taken a summer of sticky handprints and squash down one arm, or a coffee ring on a landing given up on for years. Most of those lift completely. One honest note, though. When a wool runner is taken up, washed and put back over a cold, solid hall floor, it can feel damp underfoot for longer than the touch-dry time suggests while the backing gives up its last water, so we flag it on the day. We tell you on the doorstep what we expect to shift and what might leave a faint shadow.

Carpet, upholstery and rug cleaning in Ickenham
The core job is hot-water extraction, our steam carpet cleaning, which rinses detergent, grit and old spills back out of the pile instead of leaving them there to re-soil. The same machine handles fabric and leather suites, dining chairs and curtains cleaned in place, each matched to the fabric so a food or drink mark lifts without soaking the settee through, and that is our upholstery cleaning. Wool runners and Persian or patterned rugs we usually take back to the workshop for rug cleaning, where they are washed and dried properly flat before we return them, and collection is free. We cover the rest of Hillingdon on the same rounds, down as far as Stockley Park and the business estates on the southern side of the borough.
Ickenham questions, answered
Which Ickenham streets and postcodes do you cover?
All of UB10. We are regularly on Swakeleys Road, Long Lane, Glebe Avenue, Milton Road, Austin’s Lane and Community Close, across the old village and out along the Swakeleys estate roads towards Ruislip and Hillingdon. Wherever you are in Ickenham you are well inside our area, and there is never an extra charge for the visit.
Where do you park when you clean here?
On your drive, almost always. Ickenham is a driveway village rather than a controlled-parking zone, so we pull the van onto the drive or right outside and run the hose straight in. The one thing worth planning around is the A40 close by, which can crawl at peak times, so if a slot is tight we ring ahead so you are not left watching the window.
Can you clean tiled kitchen floors and grout too?
We can. Plenty of these houses have a large kitchen or a tiled diner where the grout has darkened over the years and no amount of mopping shifts it. We scrub and rinse the tile, then lift the grout back towards its original light colour, working carefully round the units and appliances, and we price it by the size of the room.
Do you clean mattresses as well as carpet?
Yes, and it is a common add-on, often asked for after illness has gone through the house. We treat and extract the mattress to lift marks and freshen it, with no lingering smell left behind. One thing to plan for: a mattress holds far more moisture than a carpet, so while carpets are touch-dry in a couple of hours, it is safest to leave a cleaned mattress overnight before you make the bed back up.
Every clean carries our re-clean guarantee: if a treated area is not right, we come back and put it right at no charge. We are fully insured and DBS-checked, and we have cleaned carpets, sofas and rugs across Ickenham and the rest of Hillingdon since 2009.
