London Carpet Cleaning cleans carpets, sofas and rugs across Peckham, SE15, 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 off Bellenden Road to the new flats near Queens Road.
What Peckham homes are like
Most of the work we do in SE15 is in Victorian terraces. Two and three-storey London stock brick houses fill the streets around Bellenden Road, Choumert Road and Holly Grove, much of it inside the Bellenden Village and Holly Grove conservation areas, which means high ceilings, narrow halls and original boards under the carpet on the upper floors. Choumert Square is the extreme version of it, 46 little cottages along a pedestrian lane with a shared garden at the end, and you reach the front doors on foot. The other half of Peckham is flats. There are mansion blocks and converted houses near Peckham Rye Park, and a wave of new build around Queens Road and the old estate sites where Peckham Place is going up. The dividing line for us is simple: period houses tend to have wool or wool-mix carpet on the stairs, and the newer flats have pale polypropylene that shows every mark. Peckham Rye station sits in the middle of all this, on the Windrush line of the Overground plus Southern, Southeastern and Thameslink trains, with Rye Lane and the Bussey Building in Copeland Park a short walk north.
What we see across Peckham
Mud and stains are the two themes. Peckham Rye Park and the common are big open green spaces, and a wet winter walks straight back into the hall, especially on jute and natural-fibre rugs that a dog has trodden across. Inside, it is the lived-in marks: a juice or coffee ring in the lounge, a greasy patch on a sofa arm, felt tip and pen in the children’s rooms. Most of that lifts cleanly with hot-water extraction and the right pre-spray. The honest limit is the old period wool. Where a stair carpet on a terrace has been walked on a particular line for years, the pile in the traffic lane can be worn flat, and cleaning will lift the colour and the soil but it cannot put back fibre that has already gone. We will tell you on the day whether you are looking at dirt or wear, before we start, so you are not paying for a miracle that is not there.

Carpet, upholstery and rug cleaning in Peckham
The core job is hot-water extraction, our steam carpet cleaning, which rinses the soil out of the pile and leaves the carpet touch-dry rather than soaked. We bring the same machine to sofa and upholstery cleaning, including velvet and the on-site curtain freshen-ups people ask for in the bigger lounges. Anything natural-fibre or precious, the jute hall runners and wool pieces in particular, is better off the floor, so our rug cleaning runs on free collection and return across SE15. If you need the rest of the borough, from Bermondsey to Dulwich, the Southwark carpet cleaning page covers it, and we also work the wider south-east at Crystal Palace.
Peckham questions, answered
Which parts of Peckham and SE15 do you cover?
All of SE15 and the streets around it: Bellenden and Choumert, Peckham Rye and Holly Grove, Rye Lane, Queens Road and Nunhead at the eastern edge. We are out across Peckham most weeks, so a SE15 booking rarely waits long, and there is no extra travel charge anywhere in the postcode.
Is parking a problem for the van on these streets?
Peckham sits in Southwark’s CPZ B, which runs Monday to Saturday, 8:30am to 6:30pm, so most of the terraced streets are permit-controlled in the day. We carry change and pay to park, or load on a single yellow where the rules allow. For Choumert Square and other pedestrian lanes we park at the entrance and run the hose in.
The carpets in our new flat near Queens Road mark really easily. Can you help?
Yes, and it is one of the most common calls we get from the newer SE15 blocks. The pale polypropylene developers fit looks light grey when it is clean and grubby in the doorways within a year. Extraction pulls the trodden-in soil back out and evens the colour, and a fibre protector afterwards buys you longer between cleans.
How long will the carpets take to dry?
Touch-dry in 1 to 2 hours in most Peckham homes, so you can walk on them in socks the same afternoon. Upper-floor terrace rooms with the windows open dry quickest. A ground-floor flat or a still day takes a little longer, and we leave the pile damp rather than wet, which is the point of hot-water extraction.
Every clean is backed by our re-clean guarantee: if a spot we treated comes back, we return and put it right at no charge. We are fully insured and DBS-checked, and we have cleaned carpets, sofas and rugs across Peckham and the rest of south London since 2009.
