Considering a professional carpet cleaning service but worried about the cost? You're not alone. Many homeowners want clean, fresh carpets but need to budget accordingly. According to checkatrade.com, the average cost of a small 4m x 4m room is £50.00, with a minimum charge per visit of £85.00. You can find out our minimum charge for carpet cleaning and get an instant quote by visiting our get a quote page.
Ultimately, the price you'll pay varies based on your home size and carpet condition, so it is difficult to be exact with a price. A one-bedroom flat might cost somewhere in the region of £100.00 - £150.00 and take around 30 minutes to an hour, while a three-bedroom home could range from £150.00 - £250.00 and require a few hours to complete. Some companies charge by room, again making the cost different.
it is worth keeing in mind that additional services like stain protection will increase your total cost for carpet cleaning as well at the time it would take to complete. Professional carpet cleaners offer several specialised services beyond standard carpet cleaning. These services target specific items in your home that need careful attention and different cleaning techniques. Here at Xtraclean, we offer 4 service levels for carpet cleaning.

Professional carpet cleaners use several methods to clean carpets, each with unique benefits and processes. The method chosen can affect both the price and results you'll get when having your carpets professionally cleaned. Heavily soiled carpets that haven't been professionally cleaned for years will almost always require deep cleaning rather than standard service, affecting your final price.
The square meterage of your carpet is usually the most significant price factor. Expect that most carpet cleaning companies will charge somewhere between £2.00 - £5.00 per square metre for standard cleaning.
Other size-related factors include:
Carpet material matters too. For example, wool carpets will typically cost more to clean than synthetic ones because they require gentler processes and special care to avoid damage.
Rugs require special care due to their varied materials and construction. The cost for professional rug cleaning ranges variably, depending on the size and type of rug. Delicate rugs like Persian or Oriental rugs will cost more to clean given the nature of the materials as they need gentle handling and specialised cleaning agents. As a guide, a small rug (under 2m²) may cost around £35, while larger area rugs can cost £55-£85, with specialised carpet extending beyond that.
Many companies offer:
Rug cleaning usually takes 1-2 hours, and many services include collection and delivery for an additional fee. Here at Xtraclean, we provide a drop off rug cleaning service at our head office in Swaffham. Why not contact us today to schedule an appointment and get an idea of cost. You can view our rug cleaning process to find out how our service works.
Upholstery Cleaning
Keeping your sofas and chairs clean extends their life and improves your home's hygiene. Upholstery cleaning prices vary based on the furniture size and fabric type. A standard three-piece suite cleaning costs may be around £150.00, and may take a few hours to complete. As a rough guide, individual items are typically priced as:
| Furniture Item | Average Cost |
|---|---|
| Armchair | £30.00 - £40.00 |
| Two-seater Sofa | £50.00 - £70.00 |
| Three-seater Sofa | £80.00 - £100.00 |
Please keep in mind that different fabric types will affect the price too. Delicate materials like silk or velvet cost more to clean than synthetic fabrics. Here at Xtraclean, we offer the same service levels for upholstery as we do for carpets.
Several key elements affect how much you'll pay for professional carpet cleaning. These factors can significantly impact the final price, so understanding them helps you budget properly for your carpet maintenance needs.
Stain Removal
Stubborn stains require extra work and special treatments, which naturally increases the cost. Stubborn and difficult stains like coffee, wine, pet accidents, blood, and ink typically cost more to remove than standard dirt. Here at Xtraclean, our highly trained technicians will confirm a definite cost on an inspection of your carpets, meaning that a complete price for all cleaning, including the removal of stubborn carpet stains, can be agreed before we start so you don’t have any nasty surprises, just clean carpets!
Some companies offer tiered pricing for stain removal. Pet stains can usually cost more because they require enzyme treatments to break down organic matter and eliminate odours. Other stains such as red wine and coffee may need specific solutions that cost extra. Here at Xtraclean, we use state-of-the-art equipment along with professional cleaning products to deliver a deep clean for your carpets and upholstery.
Choosing the Right Carpet Cleaning Service
When looking for a carpet cleaning service, you want to find one that offers good value for money. Don't just go with the cheapest option - quality matters too! Carpet cleaning is a professional service. Sure you can buy off-the-shelf carpet cleaning products or hire a carpet cleaning machine, but you should always consider the manner in which you clean your carpets as an investment. Your carpets take a lot of wear and tear during the course of a year. Seasonal changes will bring in different levels of dirt as well as allergens. Everything ultimately settles on your carpets and they are often an overlooked item in the household for cleaning. Vacuuming alone is not enough to keep your carpets clean as this will only remove the top layer of dirt. We would always recommend that you check with your carpet cleaner to find out what's included in their price guide. Some carpet cleaners might charge extra for items such as:
Some companies offer package deals that provide excellent value if you need multiple rooms cleaned. Ask about discounts for booking several services together. Why not check our offers page to see how we can help you with your carpet cleaning requirements? Remember to enquire about cleaning methods and products too. Eco-friendly options might cost a bit more but are better for your home and the environment. If you have children or pets, you may want to consider if the products used are safe in these types of environments. The best carpet cleaning services balance quality and cost. Your carpets should look fresh and clean without breaking the bank!
Many people wonder about the costs involved in professional carpet cleaning. Here are answers to some common questions that might help you decide if this service is right for your home.
How much does it typically cost to have a room's carpet professionally cleaned?
For a small to medium-sized room (approximately 4m x 4m), you can expect to pay around £50.00 for basic carpet cleaning. Larger rooms will cost more, as will carpets that are heavily stained as they will require more specialist treatment.
Can I calculate the expected cost of carpet cleaning based on the size of my home?
Yes, you can estimate costs based on your home's size. Many companies charge by square metre, with rates ranging from £1.50 to £5 per square metre. You can check out our online calculator and get an instant quote now.
Should I consider professional cleaning for carpets that are over 20 years old?
Professional cleaning can benefit older carpets, but you should weigh the costs against replacement. Carpets over 20 years old might not respond as well to cleaning. Always discuss your concerns with the cleaning company first. They can assess whether professional cleaning will effectively restore your older carpet or if you'd be better off investing in a new one. Maintaining the frequency of your carpet cleaning will help to increase the life and condition of them.
What factors might affect the price of carpet cleaning services in my local area?
Location significantly impacts prices, with London and other major cities typically charging more. The type of carpet material also affects cost, with wool or specialty fibres requiring special treatment. The level of soiling and presence of pet stains or odours can increase costs. Some companies charge extra for stain removal, and you might pay more for eco-friendly or non-toxic cleaning methods.
Is hiring a carpet cleaner more economical than getting a professional service?
Hiring a carpet cleaning machine costs around £30-£50 per day (plus the cost for fluids and collection or delivery), which, on face value, may seem cheaper than professional services. However, DIY cleaning often lacks the deep-cleaning power of professional equipment. Professional cleaners have industrial-grade machines and specialist knowledge about different carpet types. For heavily soiled carpets or those with stubborn stains, professional services usually provide better value despite the higher upfront cost. You may be able to purchase a carpet cleaner to cover the cost of a professional service, but these won’t have the same level of power to deliver a deep clean. Carpet cleaning is a professional service and should always be considered as such.
