Hampshire Carpet & Upholstery Care celebrates landmark year with major expansion and industry recognition
One of the county’s best-known family-run cleaning specialists, Hampshire Carpet & Upholstery Care, has announced a landmark year of growth as the business expands its professional services across Southampton, Winchester, Portsmouth, Fareham, Eastleigh, Chandlers Ford, Romsey, Lymington, the New Forest, Petersfield, Alton, Basingstoke, and Havant.
Husband-and-wife team Richard and Michelle have built a reputation as the region’s trusted experts in carpet, upholstery, and textile restoration — and 2025 is shaping up to be their most exciting year yet.
With homeowners in Southampton, Winchester and Portsmouth increasingly seeking specialist fibre-safe cleaning, the couple has seen enquiries surge across the region. Character homes in Romsey, coastal properties in Lymington, family houses in Fareham and Eastleigh, and country homes in Petersfield and Alton are turning to Hampshire Carpet & Upholstery Care for premium, residue-free cleaning.
“We’ve always believed every carpet and piece of upholstery deserves the correct process,” says Richard. “Seeing more customers across Hampshire trusting us with their homes means a lot.”
This year, the business achieved Advanced Membership status with the National Carpet Cleaners Association (NCCA) — a distinction held by only a select group in the UK. Combined with IICRC training and Trading Standards Buy With Confidence approval, the company is now recognised as one of Hampshire’s most qualified textile-care providers.
Their work spans everything from high-end wool carpets in Winchester townhouses to delicate viscose sofas in Southampton marina apartments and luxury upholstery in Portsmouth penthouses.
To meet growing demand across Hampshire’s busiest towns and villages, Hampshire Carpet & Upholstery Care has expanded its service offering, including:
- Specialist cleaning for wool, viscose, Tencel, linen, and delicate blends
- Advanced low-moisture upholstery cleaning
- On-site rug cleaning using safe, colour-stable methods
- Mattress sanitation for allergy, odour, and hygiene concerns
- Carpet and upholstery protection treatments
- Commercial and marine cleaning for businesses and yachts across the South Coast
From Basingstoke family homes to heritage properties around the New Forest, their multi-step cleaning system is earning wide praise for its safety, technical precision, and exceptional finish.
What makes the business stand out is not just the training — but the people behind it.
Customers in Chandlers Ford, Alton, and Lymington repeatedly highlight Richard and Michelle’s honesty, attention to detail, and the comfort of knowing the same trusted team attends every job.
“No subcontractors. No rushed work. Just us,” says Michelle. “People want peace of mind — and that’s what we offer.”
To support the company’s expansion across Hampshire, new technology has been introduced — including high-performance extraction systems, advanced upholstery tools, and rapid-drying equipment to deliver softer, fresher, residue-free results.
Their “clean, rinse, neutralise” approach leaves carpets and upholstery cleaner for longer, a difference many Southampton, Winchester and Fareham customers have already noticed.
With strong growth throughout Portsmouth, Eastleigh, Romsey and the New Forest, Hampshire Carpet & Upholstery Care is rapidly becoming one of the South’s most trusted names in premium home care.
“As long as Hampshire families want cleaner, healthier homes,” Richard says, “we’ll keep delivering the very best.”
