- Dry vacuuming with a commercial machine to remove loose soil and dust.
- Pre-treatment of spots and stains using appropriate solutions.

What Is Not Included
To keep expectations clear, our standard carpet cleaning service does not include:
- Removal or disposal of heavy furniture or large items (we can move light items where safe).
- Cleaning of curtains, blinds or hard floors (can be quoted separately if needed).
- Major repairs to carpets, re-stretching or replacement.
- Guaranteed removal of every stain – some marks, such as certain dyes, paint or bleach, may be permanent.
- Pest control treatments (e.g. fleas, moths) – though we can advise if we suspect an infestation.
If you are unsure whether something is covered, we will clarify it during your quote and pre-inspection, so you know exactly what to expect.
Our Step-by-Step Carpet Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few key questions:
- Property type and location in Fulham.
- Approximate room sizes or total area of carpet.
- Carpet type (if known) and main issues – stains, pet odours, heavy traffic, etc.
- Preferred dates and times, including any urgency.
From this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually based on room or square metre rates, plus any agreed extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most homes and smaller offices, a detailed phone or video survey is sufficient. For larger or more complex jobs, we may arrange an onsite visit in Fulham to:
- Confirm measurements and access (lifts, parking, security).
- Test fibres where carpet composition is uncertain.
- Assess stains, wear patterns and any existing damage.
This ensures we use the correct cleaning method and provide an accurate, transparent price before work begins.
3. Preparation on the Day
On the day of your booking, our trained, professional technicians arrive within the agreed time window. Preparation typically includes:
- Walk-through inspection and confirmation of agreed work.
- Protecting entry routes and corners where hoses or equipment may pass.
- Moving light furniture where safe and practical.
- Setting up machines, hoses and solutions with attention to safety.
We then carry out the full cleaning process step-by-step, checking results as we go and discussing any concerns with you before we leave.
Transparent Carpet Cleaning Pricing
We aim for clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Prices are usually based on:
- Number and size of rooms or total square meterage.
- Carpet type and condition (light maintenance vs heavy soiling).
- Accessibility (e.g. parking, top-floor flats without lift).
- Optional extras such as stain protection or upholstery cleaning.
You receive a written or emailed quote before booking is confirmed. If we find anything unexpected at the pre-inspection that might affect price or method, we will explain it clearly and only proceed with your agreement.
Why Choose Professional Carpet Cleaning Over DIY
While it is possible to hire small machines, professional carpet cleaning brings several advantages:
- More powerful equipment – deeper cleaning and faster drying than most hire machines.
- Correct cleaning solutions matched to your carpet type and specific stains.
- Reduced risk of damage such as over-wetting, shrinkage or colour bleed.
- Time saving – we handle everything from setup to final inspection.
- Health benefits – more effective removal of embedded dirt, allergens and bacteria.
Improper DIY cleaning can leave carpets too wet, encourage mould or leave sticky residues that attract more dirt. Our methods are designed to clean thoroughly while protecting your investment.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Fulham Carpet Cleaners operates to professional industry standards and carries comprehensive insurance for your peace of mind:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items should we need to move rugs or smaller pieces as part of the work.
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property while we are working on-site.
- Trained teams – our technicians are fully trained in carpet fibre identification, stain treatment and safe machine operation.
We follow manufacturer guidelines wherever possible and can provide written confirmation of cleaning methods used if required by landlords, agents or insurers.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property in Fulham with care and respect. Our approach includes:
- Using corner guards and protective mats where equipment passes through your home or workplace.
- Choosing cleaning agents that are effective yet responsible, with low-VOC options where suitable.
- Aiming to minimise water and energy use through efficient machinery and methods.
- Advising you on ongoing care – vacuuming routines, spot treatment, and when to schedule maintenance cleans.
Our goal is not just to clean your carpets once, but to help them last longer and look better over time, reducing waste and replacement costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does carpet cleaning in Fulham cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the area, carpet type and level of soiling. As a guide, we usually price by room or per square metre, with minimum call-out charges for smaller jobs. Heavily soiled carpets or those requiring specialist treatments may cost a little more due to extra time and materials. Once we know your room sizes and condition, we provide a clear, fixed quotation before you book. There are no hidden fees, and any optional extras, such as stain protection, are itemised separately so you can decide what suits your budget.
Can you offer same-day or urgent carpet cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or short-notice appointments in Fulham, particularly for emergency spills or accidents. Availability will depend on the time of your enquiry and our existing bookings. If we cannot attend the same day, we will usually be able to offer the next available slot and advise you on immediate steps to reduce staining until we arrive. It is always best to call us as early as possible so we can prioritise urgent situations and minimise any long-term damage to your carpets.
Are you insured while working in my property?
Yes. We carry public liability insurance to cover accidental damage while we are working on your premises, as well as goods in transit insurance for items we may move or transport. Our technicians are also trained professionals who follow safe working procedures to minimise risk in the first place. We are happy to provide confirmation of our insurance cover on request, and we always conduct a pre-clean inspection so you are aware of any existing issues with your carpets before we begin cleaning.
What exactly is included in your carpet cleaning service?
Our standard service includes a pre-inspection, commercial vacuuming, pre-treatment of general spots and stains, full machine cleaning using hot water extraction or a suitable alternative, light furniture movement where safe, deodorising and a post-clean walk-through. We aim to leave carpets as clean and dry as possible, ready for normal use as soon as practical. Optional extras, such as stain protection or additional treatments for odours, are discussed in advance. We always confirm what is and isn’t included in writing so there is no confusion on the day.
How far in advance should I book?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially if you need evening or weekend appointments, we recommend booking at least a week in advance. During busy periods, such as end-of-tenancy peaks and pre-holiday seasons, slots in Fulham can fill quickly. That said, we will always try to accommodate last-minute and urgent bookings where our diary allows. If you have a fixed deadline, for example a checkout inspection or office refit, let us know as early as possible so we can plan around your schedule.
How long will my carpets take to dry?
Drying time depends on carpet type, thickness, ventilation and the cleaning method used. Most carpets cleaned with hot water extraction are touch-dry within a few hours and fully dry within 6–12 hours. Low-moisture methods can be faster. We use powerful machines to extract as much water as possible and can advise on simple steps to speed drying, such as opening windows or using fans. We will explain expected drying times for your specific carpets before we leave, so you can plan room use accordingly.
