London Carpet Cleaning cleans carpets, sofas and rugs across St George the Martyr, SE1, 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 walk-ups around Queen Square and Great Ormond Street well.
What St George the Martyr homes are like
The parish takes its name from the church of St George the Martyr at the south end of Queen Square, and the streets around it are some of the oldest planned housing in central London. Queen Square itself was laid out between 1716 and 1725, and its Grade II listed Georgian terraces, three and four storeys over a basement, have mostly been carved into flats. Lamb’s Conduit Street, Great Ormond Street, Boswell Street and Old Gloucester Street follow the same pattern: mellow brick fronts, sash windows, and inside a mix of original boards, period stair carpet and fitted bedroom carpet. It is a conservation area, so what changes happens behind the facade. Russell Square on the Piccadilly line is about six minutes south on foot, and Holborn, on the Central and Piccadilly lines, sits a little further down. The Great Ormond Street and National Hospital buildings give the area its quiet, institutional feel during the day.
What we see across St George the Martyr
The common jobs here are wool and the wear that comes with old buildings. Wine on a lounge carpet after a gathering, grubby arms on a fabric two-seater, a wool rug that has picked up a coffee stain and a musty edge from a flat that does not get much through-draught. Stair carpet takes a beating in a tall, narrow house where everyone uses one flight all day. We collect wool rugs, clean them flat and bring them back wrapped, and we work in shoes off on these floors as a matter of course. One honest limit: a stain that has sat in a pale wool pile for months, the kind of old tea or wine mark that has dried and set, sometimes lifts to a faint shadow rather than vanishing. We will tell you on the doorstep if we think a mark is permanent, before you pay for the clean.

Carpet, upholstery and rug cleaning in St George the Martyr
For fitted carpet and stairs we use hot-water extraction, our steam carpet cleaning, which rinses the pile and leaves it touch-dry in one to two hours. Tired sofas, armchairs and footstools are handled by our upholstery cleaning service, matched to the fabric so nothing shrinks or over-wets. Wool and delicate rugs go back to the workshop for proper rug cleaning and free collection, which suits the period rugs we see around Queen Square. We cover the rest of Southwark too, and our team reaches Holborn and Bloomsbury on the same rounds.
St George the Martyr questions, answered
Which streets and postcodes do you cover?
We cover the whole St George the Martyr area and the streets around Queen Square and Great Ormond Street, including Lamb’s Conduit Street, Boswell Street, Old Gloucester Street, Dombey Street, Orde Hall Street and Cosmo Place. If your road sits within the parish or just outside it, give us a call and we will confirm we reach you.
Where do your cleaners park around Queen Square?
The area falls under Camden’s controlled parking, with bays in force Monday to Saturday from 8:30am to 6:30pm, so there is no free kerbside space in the day. We pay to park or use a meter bay nearby and carry the kit in, and we never add parking to your bill. Just let us know the door and floor when you book.
Can you clean carpets in a top-floor flat with stairs?
Yes. Most homes here are flats over several storeys in a converted Georgian house, with no lift, and our machines are built to be carried up. We run the hoses from the van or a ground-floor point, so we can clean a third or fourth-floor flat near Great Ormond Street without trailing equipment through a shared hall.
How long will the carpets take to dry?
Most carpets are touch-dry within one to two hours, because extraction pulls the bulk of the moisture back out. Heavy wool or a dense stair runner can take a little longer, and a basement flat with less airflow holds damp longest. We open it up and leave it ventilating so you are walking on it the same day.
Every clean comes with our re-clean guarantee: if a treated area does not come up right, we come back and put it straight at no charge. We are fully insured and DBS-checked, and we have cleaned for households across this part of London since 2009.
