Areas we cover
We work across Eltham and the streets around it. These are the areas we get to most.
New Eltham
SE9. South-east along Footscray Road, on the Sidcup railway line rather than the Bexleyheath line.
Mottingham
SE9. South-west of Eltham, built largely around the 1930s LCC cottage estate and split between Greenwich and Bromley.
Avery Hill
SE9. East of the town centre, named after the park and its Victorian Winter Garden glasshouse.
Falconwood
SE9. North-east across Eltham Park and Shepherdleas Wood, sitting on the borough boundary with Bexley.
Kidbrooke
SE3. North-west neighbour, transformed by the Kidbrooke Village flats replacing the old Ferrier Estate.
Lee
SE12. West of Eltham towards Lewisham, with Edwardian terraces and the Lee Green shopping parade.
What we get called out for
Rooms and hallways
Hot water extraction, walk-on dry in a couple of hours. Traffic lanes are the usual reason we are rung.
Stairs and landings
The hardest-worked carpet in the house, done tread by tread with a hand tool.
Rugs
Cleaned flat on a groundsheet, dyes tested first. Delicate fibres get a low-moisture clean.
Sofas and chairs
Upholstery tool at lower pressure, fabric code checked before anything gets wet.
Prices
Priced per room, agreed on the phone and not changed on the doorstep. A bedroom is £36, a living room £43. Rugs, sofas and mattresses can join the same visit, because the machine is already in the house.

Working in Eltham
Eltham is an interwar suburb first and foremost: mile after mile of 1920s and 1930s bay-fronted semis with hall-through-lounge layouts spreading east towards Avery Hill and New Eltham, most now carrying an extension or a loft room. Sitting inside that are two very different pockets, the roughcast Arts and Crafts cottages of the Progress Estate at Well Hall, and the London County Council cottage estates at Middle Park, Horn Park and Coldharbour. Victorian and Edwardian stock survives close to the High Street and Court Road, and Kidbrooke Village new-build flats have pushed modern apartment living up to the north-west edge.
Greenwich runs three separate Eltham zones with very different rules: the Eltham Centre zone is controlled 9am to 5.30pm Monday to Saturday, while the Eltham Station and Eltham Outer zones bite only between 11am and 12.30pm Monday to Friday, so a mid-morning job needs the van moved and an afternoon job usually does not.
Thames Water supplies SE9 with hard water, so wool and wool-mix carpets rinse stiff unless the machine is run with a softened final rinse, and bathroom cleans always involve scale.
Progress Estate houses sit in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction and keep their original narrow cottage staircases and small casement windows, which rules out wide upright machines on the upper floors.
The water here is hard, which makes no difference to the extraction rinse. What slows drying in these houses is closed trickle vents, so we open windows while we work.
