London Carpet Cleaning works across Merton, covering Wimbledon, Raynes Park, Mitcham and Morden (SW19, SW20, CR4, SM4), from £36 a room with carpets touch-dry in 1 to 2 hours. Merton covers Wimbledon, Mitcham, Morden and Colliers Wood. Edwardian and Victorian houses around Wimbledon, 1930s semis towards Morden, and newer flats by the tram and Tube.
Wimbledon family homes carpet the stairs and bedrooms in wool, which cleans up well with low moisture and dries fast. Every clean is guaranteed, most carpets are touch-dry within 1 to 2 hours, and there is no call-out fee anywhere in Merton.
Old floors under newer carpet, and a fortnight when the streets fill up
Plenty of Merton homes have a fitted carpet laid straight over the original parquet or floorboards. The 1930s semis around Raynes Park and West Wimbledon (SW20), and the older villas up towards Wimbledon Village (SW19), often kept the wood and put carpet on top of it. That matters when we clean, because wood under carpet does not like getting wet. Mitcham and Morden (CR4, SM4) bring more interwar and postwar housing with solid hallways and stairs that take heavy family use. The common job across the borough is a main stair and landing that has gone dull and flat down the centre while the edges still look fine.
Our Merton bookings split fairly evenly between settled families and people getting a place ready to sell or let, because this is good-schools commuter ground and homes change hands often. We get the yearly lounge-and-stairs clean, the spring refresh after a winter of muddy boots off the Common, and the move-out clean with a dated receipt for the deposit. One quirk worth knowing: during the tennis fortnight the roads around the All England Club and SW19 seize up with parking restrictions and visitor traffic, so if you are near the club we will book you outside that window or come early before it gets busy.
Here is the honest bit about carpet over old wood. We keep the moisture deliberately low on those floors, because if water soaks through to bare parquet or boards it can stain the wood or lift it, and that is a worse problem than a slightly soiled carpet. So on a known wood subfloor we clean a little more conservatively and tell you straight that we are trading a touch of cleaning power for not wrecking your floor. Most Merton roads have residents parking or driveways, so access is usually easy as long as there is a bay or a clear stretch near the door.

Merton questions, answered
My carpet sits over old parquet, is wet cleaning safe?
We clean it, but carefully. On a fitted carpet over parquet or bare boards we keep the moisture low so water cannot reach the wood and stain or lift it. You lose a little cleaning power that way, which we think is the right trade. Soaking a carpet over a wood subfloor risks damage we would rather avoid.
Can you avoid the Wimbledon tennis fortnight for parking?
Yes. During the Championships the streets around the All England Club and much of SW19 fill with restrictions and visitor traffic. If you are near the club we will book you before or after that fortnight, or arrive early in the day. Elsewhere in Merton parking is rarely an issue and we work around it.
Which parts of Merton do you cover?
The whole borough, every postcode. Wimbledon and Wimbledon Park (SW19), Raynes Park and West Wimbledon (SW20), Mitcham (CR4) and Morden (SM4), plus Colliers Wood and the streets near the Common. From the Village down to the Morden end it is one call-out rate, with no extra charge for distance.
Which carpets get hot water and which get the low-moisture method?
Synthetic fitted carpet gets hot-water extraction, which rinses the dirt out under pressure and dries in a couple of hours. Wool, viscose and anything delicate gets a low-moisture clean to protect the fibre. Carpet laid over a wood floor also gets the lower-moisture treatment, whatever it is made of, to keep the wood dry.
The kids and dog track mud in off the Common all winter, what helps?
A spring clean once the worst of the wet weather passes lifts the ground-in mud from the traffic lanes before it sets for good. Through winter, a doormat and a quick vacuum of the hall keep the surface grit down. We see this job a lot around Wimbledon and Raynes Park every March or April.
