What’s Not Included

To keep things clear and honest, the following are not included in a standard carpet clean:

• Repair of damaged carpets (tears, burns, frayed edges)
• Re-stretching, re-fitting or re-laying carpets
• Removal of permanent stains such as certain dyes, bleached areas or strong chemical damage – we will always advise what is realistically achievable
• Hard floor cleaning (wood, tile, stone) unless agreed as a separate service
• Deep odour remediation from severe contamination (e.g. heavy pet urine) without prior assessment

If you are unsure whether something is covered, just ask during your quote and we will give a clear answer.

Our Step-by-Step Carpet Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact Kensington Cleaner by phone, email or online form. We will ask a few simple questions about the property type, rooms to be cleaned, carpet material if known, and any particular concerns such as stains or pet odours. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate. For straightforward jobs, we can confirm the price immediately; for more complex work, we may suggest a quick survey.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger properties, commercial premises or heavily soiled carpets, we recommend a short survey. This can often be done virtually using photos or video, or we can visit in person if required. The survey allows us to:

• Identify carpet fibres and backing
• Assess wear, soiling and existing stains
• Check access, parking and power/water availability
• Discuss any specific concerns, allergies or time constraints

After the survey, we confirm your fixed quotation in writing.

3. Preparation on the Day

On the day of your clean, our professional team will:

• Arrive within the agreed time window and introduce themselves
• Walk through the areas with you, confirming priorities
• Move light furniture where possible and protect surrounding surfaces
• Place corner guards and protective sheets where needed
• Vacuum thoroughly to remove loose grit and dust before wet cleaning

We then carry out the agreed cleaning method, using professional machines designed for deep, controlled cleaning, and leave carpets as dry as possible before we go. You will have a final walk-through to ensure you are happy with the results.

Transparent Pricing for Carpet Cleaning in Kensington

We price our carpet cleaning by area and job complexity, not by how long it takes us. This means you know where you stand from the outset. Typical factors affecting price include:

• Number and size of rooms or areas
• Type and condition of carpets
• Presence of heavy staining or pet odours
• Need for specialist treatments (e.g. stain protection, deodorising)

All quotations are provided in writing and include labour, equipment, standard stain treatment and cleaning products. There are no hidden extras. If anything changes on the day, we will discuss it with you before proceeding.

Why Choose Professional Carpet Cleaning Over DIY

Hiring a supermarket machine or using over-the-counter products can seem cheaper, but they often leave carpets over-wet, sticky with residue and unevenly cleaned. Our trained technicians use commercial-grade machines that deliver controlled heat, pressure and extraction, removing more dirt and moisture while protecting the carpet backing and underlay.

We also select cleaning solutions based on the specific fibre and condition of your carpet to reduce the risk of shrinking, colour bleeding or damage. Professional cleaning generally means faster drying times, deeper hygiene and a better finish, with less risk and hassle for you.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Kensington Cleaner operates to high professional standards and carries comprehensive insurance for your peace of mind. This includes:

• Public liability cover for work carried out in homes and business premises
• Goods in transit insurance where we transport our equipment or your items
• Trained cleaning teams who follow manufacturer guidelines and industry best practice

We keep detailed records of products used and methods applied for each job, and our technicians receive regular training updates on new materials and techniques. If your building has specific requirements, such as health and safety inductions or access protocols, we are happy to comply.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every property as if it were our own. Furniture and skirting boards are protected where necessary, and we take care around delicate items and surfaces. Our cleaning solutions are chosen to be effective yet respectful to your carpets and, where possible, to the environment.

We favour products that are biodegradable and low in volatile compounds, and we calibrate our machinery to avoid unnecessary water and energy use. By extending the life of your carpets, professional cleaning also reduces the need for early replacement, which is both cost-effective and better for the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does carpet cleaning in Kensington cost?

Costs depend on the number of rooms, carpet type, and how soiled the areas are. Smaller flats with standard carpets may fall within our minimum call-out charge, while larger homes or commercial spaces are priced by area and complexity. Stain protection or intensive pet odour treatments are typically charged as extras. Once we know what needs doing, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden fees. You’ll always know the full price before we start any work.

Can you provide same-day or urgent carpet cleaning?

We do our best to accommodate urgent or same-day requests in Kensington, particularly for spills, accidents or end of tenancy deadlines. Availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of the job. If we can’t attend the same day, we will offer the earliest possible appointment and advise what you can safely do in the meantime to minimise staining. Calling us as soon as the need arises gives the best chance of fitting you in quickly.

Are you insured while working in my property?

Yes. Kensington Cleaner is fully insured for all carpet cleaning work we undertake. We hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage or injury during our visit, and goods in transit insurance for our equipment and any items we transport. Our technicians follow strict procedures to reduce risk, including careful handling of hoses, cables and cleaning solutions. If your building manager or insurer needs copies of our documentation, we are happy to provide them before your booking.

What exactly is included in your carpet cleaning service?

Our standard service includes a pre-inspection, vacuuming of the areas to be cleaned, pre-treatment of spots and traffic lanes, then hot water extraction or low-moisture cleaning, depending on the carpet. We also include basic deodorising and a final groom of the pile where appropriate. Moving of light furniture is usually included, though we may ask you to clear small items and breakables in advance. Any additional work, such as stain protection or rug cleaning, will be agreed beforehand.

How far in advance do I need to book?

For the widest choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your Kensington carpet clean at least a week in advance, especially if you need a specific slot or are working to a tenancy deadline. That said, we understand that things change, and we keep some flexibility for short-notice work. If you have fixed check-out dates or events planned, let us know as early as possible so we can secure your preferred time and avoid any last-minute stress.

How long will my carpets take to dry after cleaning?

Drying times vary depending on carpet type, thickness, ventilation and the cleaning method used. As a general guide, most carpets are touch-dry within 2–6 hours after hot water extraction, and often sooner with low-moisture methods. We use powerful extraction to remove as much water as possible and can advise on simple steps, such as opening windows or using fans, to speed up drying. We’ll always explain what to expect before we leave your property.
