What affects the price
Six things that move the quote up or down.
The cleaning method adapts to the fibre composition — synthetic velvet tolerates slightly more moisture than pure silk velvet, for example.
Sofa size
±£88 rangeThe single biggest driver. A 1-seater costs roughly half as much as a corner sofa. Size determines how long the job takes and how much cleaning solution is used.
Fabric type
±£35Leather requires pH-balanced products and conditioning (+£20–35). Velvet requires a specialist low-moisture method and pile lifting. Standard fabric is cheapest.
Location
±£45 London premiumLondon commands a 20–30% premium over Birmingham or Edinburgh. This reflects higher tradesperson rates and travel costs in the capital.
Soiling level
+£20–40 for heavy soilingHeavy staining, pet odour or long-neglected sofas need pre-treatment and often a second extraction pass. Quoted individually on WhatsApp.
Access
+£10–25 for awkward accessDifficult access — narrow hallways, upper floors without lifts, furniture that can't be moved — adds time to every job.
Scotchgard add-on
+£20–30Applied after cleaning, this invisible protector repels liquid spills and slows re-soiling. Particularly recommended for light-coloured or velvet sofas.

Common questions.
How much does sofa cleaning cost in the UK?
Professional sofa cleaning typically costs between £55 and £200 depending on sofa size, fabric type, and your city. A 1-seater starts from around £55, while a corner sofa in London can reach £200. The UK average for a 3-seater is £152.
Why is London more expensive for sofa cleaning?
London cleaners charge a 20–30% premium over other UK cities, reflecting higher business costs, travel time, and tradesperson rates in the capital. A 3-seater that costs £80–110 in Birmingham will typically be £100–140 in London.
Does the price include materials and equipment?
Yes. All professional cleaning solutions, extraction equipment, and consumables are included in the quoted price. You do not need to supply anything.
Are there any hidden charges?
No. The quote you receive is the final price. There are no booking fees, platform charges, or hidden costs added on top. You pay the cleaner directly after the job is completed to your satisfaction.
What makes a sofa cleaning quote go higher?
The main factors are sofa size, fabric type (leather and velvet cost more than standard fabric), extent of soiling or odours, your location, and access difficulty. A heavily stained velvet corner sofa in London will cost significantly more than a clean fabric 2-seater in Sheffield.
Can I get a discount for multiple pieces?
Many cleaners offer package pricing when cleaning multiple pieces of furniture in one visit — for example, a sofa plus two armchairs. Mention all the pieces you need cleaned when you message us and the cleaner will factor this into the quote.
