London Carpet Cleaning cleans carpets, sofas and rugs along St Mary Axe, EC3A, 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, on the one City lane where a 180-metre glass tower shares a postcode with a synagogue that opened in 1701.
What St Mary Axe homes are like
St Mary Axe is a short one-way street that leaves Houndsditch at its top and rejoins Leadenhall Street at the bottom, and there is barely a front door on it. The Gherkin at number 30, Foster and Partners’ 180-metre tower, opened in April 2004 on the cleared site of the old Baltic Exchange, and the arched Can of Ham at number 70 finished in early 2019 a little further up. On the Leadenhall Street corner stands St Andrew Undershaft, the parish church that absorbed St Mary Axe’s own church back in 1561 and left the street its name. Round the back, in a quiet courtyard off Bevis Marks, is Britain’s oldest synagogue in continuous use, worshipping since 1701, its congregation older still from the earlier room on Creechurch Lane. So the addresses we clean are workplaces: broking and underwriting floors, client suites, receptions and boardrooms, with only a scatter of flats over the shops towards Aldgate. Aldgate station, on the Circle line and the eastern end of the Metropolitan, is the closest way in, and Liverpool Street with the Elizabeth line is a few minutes north.
What we see across St Mary Axe
The work on this street is client-facing, and the marks show it. Reception and lounge sofas near Bevis Marks pick up coffee rings and the odd felt-tip line left by a visitor’s child at a family open day. Fabric meeting chairs off Creechurch Lane come up dull after a heavy run of pitches. A leaving-do leaves red wine soaked into the carpet by the breakout area, and a stone entrance floor off Camomile Street goes flat and grey with the footfall walking straight in off the pavement. Boardroom curtains near Bury Street hang for years untouched, so we take them down, clean them and rehang them ourselves. We book most jobs for the evening, and we are used to fitting around a client visit that lands mid-afternoon.
The honest part is the older event marks on fabric seating. A fresh coffee ring lifts out cleanly, but red wine or a felt-tip that has been pressed into a light client-suite sofa for weeks may only fade rather than vanish, and on a pale weave a faint shadow can stay under a strong light. We test it and tell you what we expect before we start, so nobody is promised a miracle on a mark that is already set.

Carpet, upholstery and rug cleaning in St Mary Axe
Our hot water extraction carpet cleaning suits a single meeting room or a whole broking floor, run low-moisture on glue-down tiles so the space reopens the same evening. Sofa and upholstery cleaning keeps client lounges, reception seating and boardroom chairs presentable between fit-outs, and our rug cleaning collects from your reception desk, deep cleans off site and returns everything wrapped. The same team covers Aldgate next door and Tower Hill on the same rounds, along with the rest of the City of London.
St Mary Axe questions, answered
Which addresses does your St Mary Axe round cover?
The whole EC3A wedge: St Mary Axe itself, Bevis Marks, Bury Street, Creechurch Lane, Camomile Street and Houndsditch, plus the courts between them. Tower floor, ground-floor client suite or a flat above a shop, the fixed prices and the re-clean guarantee are the same across all of it.
Can you work around a client visit during the day?
Yes, and on this street it is routine. Tell us which room the visitors will use and when, and we clean that space first or hold it back, keep the machines and hoses out of their sightline, and pause where we need to. Most bookings still run in the evening, but a daytime fit-around is no trouble.
Do you handle the marks left after an office event?
Regularly. Leaving dos and open days leave wine, coffee and food across breakout seating and carpet, and fresh spills usually go completely. We pre-treat the drinks marks, clean the seating and the surrounding floor together, and where a stain has set we tell you honestly how far it will lift.
How long do curtains and fabric chairs take to dry?
Glue-down carpet tile is touch-dry in 1 to 2 hours, but heavy lined boardroom curtains and padded fabric chairs hold more water and can need most of a working morning. We schedule those the evening before a meeting rather than the morning of it, so the room is ready when your guests arrive.
Every visit to St Mary Axe carries our re-clean guarantee: if a mark returns within days, we come back and treat it again free of charge. Our technicians are fully insured and DBS-checked, and we have cleaned for City facilities managers, office tenants and the residents nearby since 2009.
