London Carpet Cleaning cleans carpets, sofas and rugs across Kensington Olympia, W14, 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 terraces behind Olympia to the mansion flats off Holland Road.
What Kensington Olympia homes are like
Kensington Olympia sits on the Hammersmith and Fulham side of the railway, with the borough boundary running right along the line and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea on the other side. The streets here are mid-to-late Victorian: tall stucco-fronted terraces and yellow-brick houses with semi-basements, most of them long since split into period flats. Addison Gardens, built on the old Holland estate from the 1850s, is a good example, three storeys over a basement with elaborate cornices. Russell Road runs down the east side of Kensington (Olympia) station, which is a District line branch terminus from Earl’s Court as well as a stop on the Mildmay line and the Southern main line. Blythe Road, Sinclair Road and Avonmore Road sit inside two named conservation areas, the Lakeside, Sinclair and Blythe Road area and the Olympia and Avonmore area, so the housing has barely changed in a century.
The other constant is Olympia itself, the great glass exhibition hall on Hammersmith Road now part-way through a long redevelopment into theatres, hotels and public squares. A cleaner working W14 passes it most weeks.
What we see across Kensington Olympia
The job here is mostly period flats and conversions. Floors range from original boards with wool runners to fitted wool twist in the bigger drawing rooms, and a lot of the carpet has years of fine London grime ground into it, the sort that comes up grey in the rinse on a hallway that gets walked daily. We get a steady run of pre-move cleans on flats off Sinclair Road and Russell Road, sofa and upholstery work on the delicate fabrics people own around here, velvet, silk and cream leather, and curtain cleaning on the heavy interlined drapes in the older drawing rooms. The honest limit is drying. A garden-level or semi-basement flat with small sash windows and little airflow holds moisture, so on those jobs the carpet can stay damp well past the usual two hours, sometimes most of the day in winter. We bring air movers and tell you straight when a room is one of the slow ones, rather than promise a time we cannot hit.

Carpet, upholstery and rug cleaning in Kensington Olympia
The hot-water extraction we use for steam carpet cleaning suits the wool and wool-blend carpet common in these period flats, lifting trodden-in grime without soaking the pile. For sofas and armchairs, our upholstery cleaning is matched to the fabric, with a gentler method for velvet, silk-mix and leather. Anything too precious to clean in the room, a silk or antique rug, we take away for proper rug cleaning and bring back. We cover the rest of Hammersmith and Fulham, and neighbouring West Kensington and Barons Court are on the same round.
Kensington Olympia questions, answered
Which W14 streets do you cover?
All of W14 on the Olympia side, including Russell Road, Blythe Road, Sinclair Road, Avonmore Road, Addison Gardens and Holland Road, plus the flats and mansion blocks along the Hammersmith Road and Kensington High Street edge. If you are near the station or the exhibition centre, you are well inside our area.
Where do your technicians park on these streets?
Almost all of W14 here is in a Hammersmith and Fulham controlled parking zone, so there is no free kerbside space in the day. We pay for a meter bay or a visitor session and never pass that on to you. For a conversion with no lift, just let us know the floor when you book so we arrive set up for it.
Can you get cat or dog smells out of a flat before we move in?
Usually yes. A deep extraction clean lifts the odour held in the carpet pile and backing, which is where most of it sits, and it is one of the jobs we do most often on empty W14 flats. If a previous owner’s pet has soaked through to the underlay or floorboards, that can need the underlay replaced, and we will tell you if we find it.
How long will the carpet take to dry?
In a normal first-floor or upper flat, one to two hours, and you can walk on it sooner in socks. A garden-level or basement room with little ventilation takes longer, so we use air movers and open what we can. Booking a morning slot gives the carpet the rest of the day to finish drying.
Every clean comes with our re-clean guarantee: if a treated area does not come up right, we come back and put it right. We are fully insured and DBS-checked, and we have cleaned carpets, upholstery and rugs across Kensington Olympia and the rest of W14 since 2009.
