London Carpet Cleaning cleans carpets, sofas and rugs across Old Street, 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 warehouse lofts off the roundabout to the flats along City Road.
What Old Street homes are like
Old Street runs from Goswell Road in the west across to Shoreditch, so a single postcode holds two very different kinds of home. On the north and east side you get the converted warehouses and print works, big open-plan lofts with exposed brick and the original timber floors, many with a carpeted mezzanine or study tucked under the roof. The Factory, an old Edwardian textiles warehouse, is the best known of them. Walk south into the St Luke’s streets and it changes again: Peabody blocks around Whitecross Street, the Ironmonger Row and Central Street estates, and neat ex-council maisonettes with hard-wearing carpet throughout.
Then there is the new-build layer. The two towers at 250 City Road, Carrara and Aurora, added the best part of a thousand flats between here and Angel, most laid with pale modern carpet in the bedrooms. The station sits under the old roundabout, now a straight junction since the 2020 rebuild, on the Bank branch of the Northern line and the Great Northern trains up to Moorgate. That mix of tenant, resident and studio in one square mile is the thing that defines the work here.
What we see across Old Street
A lot of our EC1 bookings are jobs people did not plan for. A glass of red goes over a grey sofa mid dinner party and needs lifting the next morning. A kitchen leak leaves a bedroom carpet smelling damp and stale. A wool rug in a live-work flat gets chewed up by office-chair castors after months of working from home. We also get a steady run of after-hours cleans for the small studios and offices around Bath Street, where the meeting-room carpet has to look right for client visits and nobody wants to lose a working day.
Honest limit: in the loft conversions with old iron windows and thick brick walls, air moves slowly, so a heavily soaked carpet or rug can take longer than the usual one to two hours to feel fully dry. We lift as much moisture as the machine allows and tell you plainly if a room needs a window cracked and a few extra hours rather than pretending it will be bone-dry the moment we leave.

Carpet, upholstery and rug cleaning in Old Street
Most jobs here start with our hot-water carpet cleaning, which is the right method for tired bedroom carpet in a City Road flat or a marked meeting-room floor. For the grey and linen sofas that fill the new apartments we use fabric upholstery cleaning matched to the material, and wool rugs off the loft floors go back to our workshop for full rug cleaning and free return. We cover the same service across the wider City of London area, and reach nearby Clerkenwell and Barbican on the same round.
Old Street questions, answered
Which streets and postcodes do you cover around Old Street?
We cover the whole EC1 spread of Old Street, from Goswell Road and Central Street across to City Road, Featherstone Street and Bath Street, plus the St Luke’s blocks and the City Road towers. The Shoreditch side that tips into Hackney is on our patch too, so a booking either side of the old roundabout is no problem.
Can you deal with parking for a loft or warehouse flat?
Most of the area sits inside Islington’s controlled parking zones, so daytime street parking needs a permit or a paid bay. We plan for that: tell us the block when you book and we bring our kit in on a trolley from the nearest bay or loading spot. For the estates and towers with gated access, just let the concierge or entry system know we are expected.
Do you do end-of-tenancy carpet cleaning for rented EC1 flats?
Yes, and it is one of our most common EC1 jobs given how much of the area is rented. We clean the carpets ready for checkout and give you a dated invoice for the letting agent or inventory clerk. A very old set-in stain may fade rather than vanish completely, and we will say so upfront so there are no surprises at the inventory.
How long will the carpet take to dry?
Most carpets are touch-dry in one to two hours because our machines pull out the bulk of the water on the final pass. A dense wool rug or a room in a thick-walled loft with little airflow can want a bit longer. Opening a window and keeping the heating gently on speeds it up, and we will flag any room likely to run past the usual window.
Every clean comes with our re-clean guarantee: if a treated area does not come up as agreed, we come back and put it right at no extra cost. We are fully insured and DBS-checked, and we have cleaned across Old Street and EC1 since 2009.
