London Carpet Cleaning cleans carpets, sofas and rugs across South Hampstead, NW6, 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, and we know the red-brick mansion blocks off Fairhazel and Compayne Gardens well.
What South Hampstead homes are like
South Hampstead is mansion-flat country. The grid of “Gardens” streets between Finchley Road and Kilburn, Compayne Gardens, Greencroft Gardens, Fairhazel Gardens and Goldhurst Terrace, went up chiefly in the late 1880s, and most of it sits inside the South Hampstead Conservation Area (once called the Swiss Cottage area). The dominant stock is late-Victorian red brick: purpose-built mansion blocks and big houses long since carved into flats, with the Arts and Crafts terracotta detailing you can still spot along Broadhurst Gardens. Belsize Road is older again, mid-Victorian terraces from the early 1850s with 1930s blocks filling the gaps.
The station is South Hampstead on Loudoun Road, open since 1879 and now on the Overground Lioness line, with Swiss Cottage on the Jubilee about five minutes’ walk beyond it. Most of these flats are first or second floor, reached by a shared Victorian staircase, and that shapes what the carpets go through and how we work.
What we see across South Hampstead
Two jobs come up again and again here. The first is the original wool carpet in a period flat, deep pile that holds years of quiet foot traffic and the odd stubborn mark, a makeup smudge on a bedroom floor, a coffee splash gone dry. Wool responds beautifully to hot-water extraction when it is cleaned at the right temperature and not over-wetted, which is exactly how we treat it. The second is the communal staircase and landing: shared entrances off Goldhurst Terrace and the Gardens streets take a battering, and a proper stair clean lifts the whole approach to a flat.
One honest limit. In older ground and lower-ground flats, and in any room where the wool pile is genuinely worn through to the backing, cleaning restores colour and freshness but will not rebuild fibre that has already gone. If a runner is threadbare on the tread, we will tell you straight rather than sell you a clean that cannot deliver.

Carpet, upholstery and rug cleaning in South Hampstead
For the floors we use hot-water extraction, the method most people call steam carpet cleaning, which rinses the pile and leaves it touch-dry in an hour or two. Fabric and leather sofas fall under our upholstery cleaning, from linen three-seaters to a tan leather Chesterfield that needs cleaning and conditioning rather than soaking. Anything precious lifts and goes to the workshop through our rug cleaning service, with free collection and return, which is how we handle wool rugs that have met a takeaway curry. If you need the same team in the rest of Brent, or in West Hampstead and Kilburn next door, it is the same fixed pricing.
South Hampstead questions, answered
Which streets and postcodes do you cover?
All of South Hampstead in NW6, from Belsize Road and Abbey Road up through Compayne, Greencroft, Fairhazel and Canfield Gardens to Goldhurst Terrace and Broadhurst Gardens. We cross freely into West Hampstead, Swiss Cottage and Kilburn, so if your flat sits on a boundary street it makes no difference to the price or the booking.
Where do your vans park around the mansion blocks?
Most of South Hampstead sits in Camden’s CA-K controlled parking zone, which runs Monday to Friday, so on weekdays we buy a visitor bay or pay by phone right outside. Our machine runs off the van, so we only need a bay within reach of your entrance. Tell us the flat and floor when you book and we will sort the parking.
How long will a flat take to dry?
Carpets are touch-dry in one to two hours, and we open windows and set air moving before we leave. Upholstery takes longer, and a dense linen sofa in a first-floor flat with the windows shut can stay damp into the evening. It is worth keeping a room ventilated and going easy on the cushions overnight; the result is worth the short wait.
Can you get pet smells out of a sofa?
Usually, yes. Cat or dog accidents on a fabric sofa need the padding treated, not only the surface wiped, so we extract deep and finish with a deodoriser that neutralises the smell instead of masking it. Where it has soaked right through the foam over months, we will be honest about how much a single clean can lift.
Every clean carries our re-clean guarantee: if a treated area does not come up right, we come back and put it right at no charge. We are fully insured, our cleaners are DBS-checked, and we have cared for South Hampstead carpets, sofas and rugs since 2009.
