Metroland semis, priced with the stairs
Harrow's Local Plan says almost two thirds of the borough's homes were built between the wars, when Metroland estates of semis and short terraces spread over the farmland. The Census agrees: 37.1% of households live in a semi, slightly more than live in a flat (34.6%).
If yours is a three-bed semi, the price for a three-bed house with the living room, hall, stairs and landing is £223. Knocked through downstairs? A through lounge is £61 on its own, and £277 is the price for a four-bed house with a through lounge, hall, stairs and landing. Box rooms, conservatories and kitchen diners are all on the room-by-room price list.
The stairs and landing take the cleaner up to an hour. Carpets usually dry in 5 to 7 hours, so start in the morning and the bedrooms should be ready by bedtime. There's more on how a room is done under carpet cleaning.
Pinner, Stanmore, Wealdstone: carpet cleaning across Harrow
Harrow town centre HA1
Harrow town centre grew at the foot of the hill, in what used to be Greenhill, and it is mostly flats: 69.1% of households, twice the borough's 34.6%. 43.8% of homes here date from 2000 or later. Harrow puts some newer buildings on its Permit Restricted list, where residents get no visitor permits, so tell the office if yours is one. If you're among the 46.8% of households renting privately and moving out, book the clean for the day before the inventory; the invoice can be split by room.

Harrow on the Hill HA1 · HA2
St Mary's church stands at the top of Harrow on the Hill, and the ward has a much older core than the town below it: 16.7% of homes are from before 1900, against 6.9% in the town centre. Even so, 60.3% of households live in flats, most of them purpose-built, and two bedrooms is the usual size (40.1% of households). A rug on bare boards is washed where it lies, with a bit of space cleared round it and the fringes done by hand. A small one is £35.

Pinner HA5
38.0% of Pinner households have four bedrooms or more, and 27.0% live in a detached house. Half the homes are interwar (49.5%), many of them in the 1930s Art Deco style, and only 7.1% are older than 1919, though the parish church of St John the Baptist was consecrated in 1321. Owners are 72.0% of households, against 58.8% across Harrow. Long curtains in a bay can be cleaned on the rail once the office has seen a photo (£42 a pair); lined and interlined pairs go to a dry cleaner.

Stanmore HA7 · HA8
The A410 crosses Stanmore from east to west under four names: London Road, The Broadway, Church Road and Uxbridge Road. Homes here go two ways. 36.5% of households live in purpose-built flats and 23.9% in a detached house, and 31.8% have four bedrooms or more. In a block, the office needs your floor and whether the lift works. At a house with a drive, a space on it saves the cleaner circling the side roads, and paid parking goes on the bill at cost only when there's nothing else.

Wealdstone HA3
From 5 January 2026, Harrow extended the hours of Zone C, around the Wealdstone Royal Estate, to 8am to 6.30pm, Monday to Saturday, on an 18-month experimental order. So a Saturday clean in that area needs a visitor permit as well. Central Wealdstone is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and terraces house 32.5% of households, four times Pinner's share. A terrace usually means a hall, one flight and a small landing, which the cleaner gets through in up to an hour.

Kenton HA3 · HA7
Kenton Road is the line between Harrow and Brent, and we work on both sides of it. On the Harrow side, Kenton went up between the wars, after the railway arrived: the VOA dates 86.9% of homes to 1919 to 1939, against almost two thirds for Harrow, and just 2.6% to 2000 or later. Nearly half of households (48.4%) live in a semi, and 77.8% have three bedrooms or more. A hall, stairs, landing and three or four bedrooms is the usual shape of a Kenton house.

South Harrow HA2
South Harrow stayed rural until the late 19th century, and its last farm fields had become housing by the mid-20th. Over half its homes (54.7%) are interwar, and there's newer building too: 20.6% date from 2000 or later, against 2.6% in Kenton. Three bedrooms is the norm (42.2% of households), and 61.1% live in a terrace or semi. Northolt Road is the shopping street; if you live on it, the cleaner will probably need a side street to park in.

Harrow Weald HA3
Harrow Weald has woodland on its doorstep, with Harrow Weald Common on the western side, and a walk there tends to come home on boots and paws. Most of it ends up in the hall. The cleaner pre-treats the traffic lanes before the wash, and a hallway on its own is £22. The housing is semis above all: 45.7% of households, against 37.1% for Harrow, with 14.8% detached and only 3.5% of homes built since 2000.

Your one free bulky collection
Each household gets one free bulky collection of up to four items in any 12 months, booked through a MyHarrow account, and four more items can be added to it for £28.45. After that, a collection is £59.70 for one to four items. Carpets go if they're rolled and no longer than five feet; the five-foot limit doesn't apply to sofas or mattresses. If you've just moved in and the last occupier used the free one, you can ask the council to reset it.
That free slot is worth keeping for something that's finished. A sofa that's only dirty can be cleaned where it stands: the cleaner reads the care label first (a 'do not wash' or X label means no), cleans removable covers on the sofa and leaves it to dry for 12 to 15 hours. For a three-seat sofa and two armchairs, the price is £149. Fabric only; leather and velvet aren't on our list. More on sofa cleaning.
Parking in a Harrow CPZ
Harrow sells residents virtual visitor permits for a decorator or repair person: £3 a day (£1.50 with a discount), up to 100 a year, or a book of ten scratch cards for £30. Each zone's hours are on the signs as you drive in and on the council's CPZ map. When the office rings to check the job, they'll ask whether you have permits to spare.
Newer flats are where it gets awkward. Harrow lists some as Permit Restricted Properties, and residents there can't get resident or visitor permits. If that's your building, say so; the cleaner finds paid or unrestricted parking and any charge is added at cost. A flat above the first floor with no lift adds £10 a floor for carrying the machine up.

Very hard water from Pinner to Stanmore
Affinity Water supplies the Harrow postcodes we checked, and its 2025 reports put the Harrow South zone (the town centre and Harrow on the Hill) at an average of 363 mg/l. Wealdstone sits at 360, Stanmore at 353 and Pinner at 320. Affinity calls anything over 300 very hard, which anyone who has descaled a kettle in HA1 already suspected.
The cleaner fills the machine from your tap, so leave the water and the power on. The hardness doesn't change the price.
How booking works
- Price it herePick the rooms and the furniture. The price adds up as you go.
- The office calls youBetween 8am and 7pm, about access, parking and stains, and to agree a day. A 50% deposit holds it.
- The cleaner comes overCarpets, rugs, sofas and mattresses are cleaned in your home. Nothing is taken away.
Before you book in Harrow
- We share a house in Wealdstone. Can the bill be split?
Yes, room by room, so each person pays for their own bedroom and the hall and stairs go to whoever agrees to them. Landlords should know Harrow's new additional HMO licensing starts on 6 January 2027 for homes shared by three or four people from two or more households.
- Can you clean an old wool carpet?
Usually. Tell the office it's wool when you book; the cleaner checks the fibre and the backing and keeps the water low. Jute, sisal and seagrass aren't wet-cleaned, so those stay as they are.
- Do you work outside Harrow?
Yes, in every London borough and the City, including next door in Hillingdon and Brent. The card prices the job for your postcode.
