Carpet Cleaning in Vauxhall, London

Carpeting is a major investment in the home of our customers, and regular Vauxhall carpet cleanings are necessary to keep it looking new. In fact, because it gathers in carpet fibers and erodes them, soil, not foot traffic, is the largest contributor to the premature demise of carpets. Regular carpet cleanings are so important that most major carpet manufacturers require them in order to maintain their warranty.
No one in Vauxhall cleans carpets more thoroughly than we. We use the industry's most advanced truck-mounted Vauxhall carpet cleaning system. Specially engineered for and your needs, these units provide unrivaled steam cleaning power and deep-down suction to remove ground-in soil and revive your carpet's appearance.

Vauxhall is an inner city area of south London in the London Borough of Lambeth. It is located on the south bank of the River Thames, across the water from the Tate Britain art gallery and the House of Commons. It is hard to exactly define Vauxhall as an area - what some would include in Vauxhall others would traditionally describe as Lambeth, South Lambeth, Nine Elms, Kennington, Oval or Stockwell. Most people would agree, however, that Vauxhall encompasses the area immediately around Vauxhall station. It has also given its name to the Vauxhall Parliamentary Constituency, which also includes large swathes of Brixton and Clapham. Since 1998, the geographical confusion has been increased as Vauxhall is now part of the borough's North Lambeth town centre for administrative purposes.

Now a major transport hub within minutes of central London, Vauxhall was neglected for many years. Many of its streets were also destroyed during World War II or through poor city planning. To many Londoners, Vauxhall has been seen merely as a bleak place of transit. However, a significant — and fast growing — community lives here.

Much of the area in Vauxhall contains light industry (like the New Covent Garden flower and vegetable markets) as well as offices and government buildings. Many companies and organisations were attracted in the past by Vauxhall's central location and comparatively cheap rental prices compared to Westminster on the other side of the river. In recent years, Vauxhall's riverside has undergone major redevelopment with the construction of a number of prestigious modern residential and office blocks, most notably the distinctive MI6 building at Vauxhall Cross.

Most Vauxhall dwellers live in social housing — mostly low-rise 1930s blocks standing four or five stories high. There are several "gentrified" areas, and smart roads of terraced town houses such as Fentiman Road are well known desirable locations. Vauxhall is a popular residential area for Members of Parliament and civil servants due to its proximity to the Houses of Parliament and Whitehall - Kennington is within the area wired for the Commons' Division Bell. Perhaps owing to this, Vauxhall is one of the few places "south of the river" to which London black cab drivers are willing to go. Some 18th and 19th century property also survives — most famously Bonnington Square, a community which emerged from the 1970s/1980s squat scene in London, and remains mostly housing co-operatives today. There is a significant Portuguese community in the area; many Portuguese restaurants and bars are located in South Lambeth Road and the surrounding area.

The late 1990s/early 2000s explosion in London property prices has led to a boom in riverside developments and property re-developments, such as the large St George Wharf development by Vauxhall Bridge. Residents include John Major, Chelsea Clinton, Dan MacMillan and Lee from Blue. Lord Archer of Weston-super-Mare is a noted Vauxhall resident, living in a large penthouse on the river. The impact of new house building and the rise in house prices has created a dramatic change in Vauxhall's demographics. Long-term Vauxhall residents are increasingly being priced out of the area and replaced with moneyed people.

Vauxhall Cross dominates the Vauxhall riverside. It is immediately to the south-east of Vauxhall Bridge where six major roads converge, including the Albert Embankment which exits the Cross to the north, and which is the southernmost point of entry into the London congestion charge area. Vauxhall Cross is the site of the central headquarters of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), which occupies purpose built offices erected between 1989 and 1992 and commonly referred to as Vauxhall Cross. More recently, a large complex of apartments and offices has been built to the south of Vauxhall Bridge.
