How much does dog grooming cost in Ilford and east London in 2026?
Published pricing is the exception among the thirty-six dog groomers listed for Ilford and east London: only two of them, Toff's Dog Grooming Studio and Spa in Hainault and Dolly's Pooch Coiffure in Woodford Green, publish a genuine price list.

Toff's full price list
Toff's Dog Grooming Studio and Spa, at 15 Headingley Close in Hainault, is registered with Companies House and has been trading since 2023, open 10am to 6pm by appointment.

Dolly's Pooch Coiffure's full price list
Dolly's Pooch Coiffure, at 52 Sky Peals Road in Woodford Green, was founded by Peter and named after his own Welsh Labradoodle, Hugo. Its site states about five years of trading experience, though it doesn't give a specific founding year. Prices scale with the dog's size: £45 for a small dog, £60 for a medium dog and £75 for a large dog.
Why so few prices online
Most of the thirty-six businesses in this directory have no independent working website at all, relying instead on a Facebook page, an online listing or a bare phone number, which very likely explains most of the silence on price. Even Clipaway Dog Groomers and Happy Hounds & Cooler Cats, which do have their own working sites, describe their services without quoting figures. Grooming is priced by dog size, coat condition and how matted or overdue a groom is far more often than car valeting or similar trades, which makes a fixed published list harder for a small salon to commit to. Ask for a price, or an estimate based on your dog's size and coat, before booking anywhere in this directory.
What this suggests
Two data points aren't a market rate for an area spanning Ilford, Barkingside, Woodford, Wanstead, Walthamstow, Chingford, Forest Gate, Barking, Dagenham, East Ham and Manor Park, but they are a starting point for a phone conversation: a small groom from around £40 to £45, rising to £55 to £75 for a larger dog or a full groom with extras. Expect a busy high-street salon or a specialist studio to sit at the higher end once poodle-specific work, teeth cleaning or nail trimming are added, and a mobile groomer's callout to factor in the cost of coming to your door — but there is no published figure from any of the six confirmed mobile groomers here to confirm that either way.
