London Carpet Cleaning cleans carpets, sofas and rugs across Telegraph Hill, SE14 and SE4, 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 villas around the park down to the flats off New Cross Road.
What Telegraph Hill homes are like
Telegraph Hill is one of the higher points in south London, rising to about 50 metres where a semaphore station once flashed news of Waterloo back to the city. The Worshipful Company of Haberdashers laid out the streets for housing from around 1871, and that history shows in the stock: tall Victorian terraced villas, bay windows, original staircases and a lot of floor to cover. Roads like Pepys Road, Jerningham Road and Erlanger Road are textbook examples, and the whole grid is a conservation area, so the period feel has been kept. Drakefell Road is the one that catches people out, running from SE14 at its lower end up into SE4 as it climbs toward Brockley. New Cross Gate, a few minutes downhill, puts the Windrush line and Southern trains within an easy walk.
What we see across Telegraph Hill
Two patterns come up again and again here. The first is end-of-tenancy work in the converted flats: a desk-chair patch in the bedroom, a tired hallway, a letting agent holding back the deposit. We can usually fit those in at short notice and lift the marks that matter. The second is family wear in the bigger houses, mud tracked back from the upper and lower park either side of Kitto Road, plus the odd red wine or takeaway accident. The honest limit is set-in dye. A curry stain that has gone orange or an old wine ring will improve a great deal, often to where you would not notice it, but a faint shadow can remain in daylight if it has been there a while. We tell you that before we start, not after.

Carpet, upholstery and rug cleaning in Telegraph Hill
Our hot-water extraction reaches the grit that builds up in deep Victorian pile, and you can read how that steam carpet cleaning works before you book. We also clean settees, armchairs and dining seats with our upholstery cleaning service, which is what most people want after a stain has set on a fabric sofa. Loose pieces such as the jute and wool rugs common in these houses go on our rug cleaning bench, with free collection and return. If your job sits elsewhere in the rest of Lewisham, the same prices and the same van cover it, and we reach nearby areas including Maze Hill on the same terms.
Telegraph Hill questions, answered
Which postcodes around Telegraph Hill do you cover?
We cover the whole of Telegraph Hill across SE14 and the SE4 streets that climb toward Brockley, from Vesta Road and Kitto Road near the park down to the New Cross Gate end. New Cross, Brockley and Nunhead next door are all on the same fixed prices, so wherever you sit on the hill, the quote does not change.
Where do you park on these narrow Victorian streets?
Most of the area now falls under Lewisham’s controlled parking zones, including the Drakefell Road scheme that takes in Kitto Road, Vesta Road and several neighbours. Tell us the road when you book and we sort the parking out ourselves, whether that means a visitor bay or a short stay outside while we carry the gear in.
I am moving out of a flat. Can a clean help with the deposit?
Yes, and it is one of our most common jobs around here. A professional carpet clean before checkout deals with the worn traffic lanes and chair marks that letting agents flag, and we can often book you in the day before you hand back the keys. We will be straight with you about anything a clean realistically cannot return to new.
How long do carpets take to dry?
Usually 1 to 2 hours for the surface to feel touch-dry, because hot-water extraction pulls most of the moisture straight back out. Thicker wool in the older villas can take a little longer in winter. Open a window or two, keep the heating ticking over, and you can walk on the carpet the same day without trouble.
Every clean comes with our re-clean guarantee: if a result is not right, we come back and put it right. We are fully insured and DBS-checked, and we have cleaned for Telegraph Hill households since 2009.
