the last one to ask your own.
whereabouts are you located?
we are a mobile massage service for London
and surrounding areas so our therapists
will visit you at your
home, hotel or office. sorry, we do not
have any incall facilities for customers to
visit us. we travel to the following areas:
London | Heathrow | Surrey | Middlesex | Essex
what times are you open?
our basic opening times are 9am-10pm (Mon - Sun), however some of our therapists are occasionally available later than this. just check our online system. please note that any bookings which finish at or after midnight will incur a £25 extra travel supplement, to cover a taxi back home for your therapist.
what will i be massaged on?
being central london based, our therapists
are trained and very experienced in
performing excellent massages on your own
bed or floor, whichever you prefer. most
customers much prefer being massaged on
their own bed rather than a massage table
once they have experienced it. if you
really want a massage table please send us
an email to organise.
what am i supposed to wear when i get a massage?
for an oil based massage you should undress
to your own level of comfort. many people
prefer to keep their underwear on during a
massage, while others prefer to be nude.
it's up to you
can I request a specific therapist?
all our massage therapists are highly
qualified and have been hired on the basis
that they can all provide a high level of
massage. we can guarantee you the same
quality of massage no matter who your
therapist. however we will be very happy to
fulfill your request for a particular
therapist wherever possible

- do you have any medical conditions?
- do you suffer any allergies?
- have you undergone any recent surgery?
- are you pregnant?
- have you taken any drugs or alcohol in the last 24 hours?
what type of massage should i get?
if this is your first time it’s best to
book a classic massage. this way you can
find out with the therapist specific areas
of the body that will respond better next
time to a longer or more specific massage
how much are your massages?
we operate a simple and good value pricing
system: £50 per hour, with each additional
half hour being charged at £25 extra. we
also have special offers from time to time,
so look through the website and you'll
probably spot something if you're lucky!
can i eat or drink before a massage?
please don't have a massage on a full
stomach, wait at least 1 hour. also it's
best to avoid drinking alcohol before your
massage
what will my therapist bring with them?
your therapist will bring high quality
massage oil (usually almond oil and
grapeseed oil) and also our very own chill
out music CD, which is a cool and funky
change from the synthesised music you might
previously have endured during your massage
treatments! you are of course welcome to
play absolutely any music you like if you
don't like ours.
should i talk to the massage therapist during the massage?
it’s usually best to close your eyes, lie
back and relax into the massage. but once
again, it’s up to you. be sure to speak up
if the room is too hot or too cold; if you
experience any pain or if you would like
the massage changed in any way
i don't want the therapist to touch a certain part of my body
if you don't like a particular part of your
body touched or you're just self-conscious
about a certain body area, just ask your
therapist to avoid that area. remember we
also have therapies which are done through
clothing, such as thai massage
the pressure isn't right for me, what should i do?
please don't worry about upsetting your
therapist - just let them know immediately
and they will be more than happy to hear
how best to adjust the pressure to suit
your personal preferences. we're all
different!
what if i realize i've drooled during the massage?
many people fall into a peaceful slumber
during the massage but when they wake up,
they notice a pool of drool on the pillow
or massage table. this is very common.
don't be afraid to ask the massage
therapist for a tissue. for our somewhat
imaginative clients, we would like to
clarify, the drool we are referring to is
the saliva that can run from your mouth!
what if i get an erection during the massage?
there is no reason to be embarrassed. it's
perfectly normal for men to get an erection
during a massage. touch administered to any
area of the body can activate parts of your
nervous system and cause such a reaction.
your therapist is professionally trained,
understands this and will ignore it
how do I pay?
at the moment we only accept cash in
sterling (£) direct to your therapist.
sorry, no cards, no cheques, no online
payments, no massage swaps or offering to
cook us dinner in return! thank you.
am i supposed to tip my therapist?
tipping is totally up to you. the only
pressure our therapists want you to feel is
the deeply relaxing one you'll get from one
of their massages
how long can I book my treatment for?
our standard session lengths are: 1 hour,
1.5 hours and 2 hours and these can be
booked using our online system.
our most popular bookings is 1.5
hours. we also have clients who book
for 3 hours or more. if you would
like longer than 2 hours please
email us at Bookings@TheMassageRooms.com
and we will help you book it. our
current record for one session is 7
hours! sorry, but we cannot do
treatments lasting less than 1 hour.
how much notice do you need before a booking?
we pride ourselves by being one of the most
reliable and on-time mobile massage
companies in London. we ask a very
reasonable one hour minimum notice period
before your booking. of course our
therapist will try to get there even
quicker if possible. we always aim to
inform you immediately of any unexpected
delays. we don’t make false promises of 30
minutes arrivals and then turn up after 1.5
hours. after all, your aim is to chill out
not stress out wondering where your
therapist is!
are your massages sensual?
properly performed by a happy and relaxed
therapist, a good massage should give
pleasure to your body and to your senses.
you are, after all, being touched warmly
with love and care by another human being.
we cannot (and would not wish to) control
your senses. so yes, massage can be a
sensual experience. all we ask is that you
continue to respect our therapists as the
decent, professional and lovely human
beings they are and not expect your
personal sensuality to lead to any form of
sexual activity during your treatment.
fun, friendly massage therapists? oooh errr, what's all this about then?
we are a fun, open-minded company, with
great friendly therapists. massage is often
associated with sexual activities, so
perhaps it is easy to misinterpret what we
have said elsewhere to mean a more than
what we have simply said. just to be clear,
we only offer high
quality, therapeutic massage sessions
performed by experienced, lovely,
easy-going therapists who are great company
too...nothing more than that! so please
don't make us blush by expecting anything
else. thank you for your understanding and
your respect.
how often should i receive a massage?
ideally once a week. if you can't do this
try at least to have massage on a regular
basis. we have some customers who get
massaged 3 times a week ... and even some
who have had 3 treatments in a day!
i am pregnant, can i still get a massage?
massage is perfectly safe after the first
three months of pregnancy. to avoid
pressure on your abdomen, you will lie on
your side and back or sit on a special
chair during your pregnancy massage. we
can't massage you during the first 3 months
of pregnancy unless you have written
approval from your doctor. of course, we
will only send a therapist who has been
trained in pregnancy massage, so please
book well in advance to ensure
availability.
are there any side effects i need to be aware of?
the body releases toxins through massage.
you might feel a little dizzy or suffer a
headache after a massage. these are natural
reactions which you should not need to
worry about. drink lots of water to
decrease these symptoms. feeling soreness
in your muscles the next day is also
perfectly natural
happy endings - what are they and can I get one?
a common question in the massage industry,
so we prefer to deal with it rather than
pretend it never gets asked. happy endings
refer to certain sexual acts ('happy')
carried out at the end of a massage
('ending'). we hope that you can see we are
a friendly, grown up team with great
therapists who are fun and friendly. we are
not ashamed to openly discuss your
questions with a smile but that does not
mean we enter into lewd activities. you
cannot get a 'happy
ending' with us. we believe true happiness
knows no end!
