London commercial cleaning · South London
We work in Lewisham every week — deptford's market and victorian new cross, hill villages at blackheath and forest hill, and catford's high street. Commercial cleaning is priced against that reality, not a national average.

Working in Lewisham
What our crews walk into in Lewisham is victorian and edwardian terraces and conversions, 1960s catford estates and new lewisham town-centre towers, and the mix changes street by street — Bellingham and Downham (SE6), Brockley (SE4) and Catford (SE6) each behave differently on the day.
On the ground, steep hills at honor oak and forest hill, narrow terraced streets and expanding cpzs across se4 and se14. Locally that means wide estate roads with kerbside parking and level access — easy for a luton and steep hills, long front paths and conversion flats up two or three flights. Lewisham sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Commercial premises in Lewisham generate trade waste, and London Borough of Lewisham enforces the duty of care on the occupier. Our contract cleans include the waste stream: bagged, transferred and evidenced, so your file stands up to an inspection.
Lewisham took its present shape because kentish villages absorbed by railways from the 1840s; deptford's naval dockyard and deptford creek shaped its industrial edge.
Scope
Method
Step 1
We walk the floor, measure it and write the scope against what is actually there.
Step 2
Hours, headcount, frequency and price per visit — no vague 'as required' lines.
Step 3
Fobs, inductions, RAMS and the consumables order sorted before day one.
Step 4
Digital sign-off per visit so building management can see what was done and when.
Step 5
A supervisor audit against the scope, with the score sent to you in writing.
Coverage
Also in this borough
Sofas, armchairs, dining chairs and mattresses cleaned in place and dried the same day.
Hot-water extraction for wool, synthetic and sisal, with stain and odour treatment.
The whole-property version, top of the wardrobes down to the skirting.
Block paving, resin-bound and imprinted concrete driveways cleaned, resanded and sealed.
Front paths, side returns and communal walkways cleaned without lifting loose flags.
Offices, shops and units cleared out of hours, with data-bearing kit handled properly.
Office clean, per hour per operative starts at £22 in Lewisham, and the ladder runs up to £0.35 for the largest job on the table above. Frequency, headcount and hours drive the price, not floor area alone. Out-of-hours access and single-visit weeks cost more per hour than a five-day contract. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: SE12, SE13, SE14, SE23, SE26, SE4, SE6 and SE8. On the ground that includes Bellingham and Downham, Brockley, Catford, Deptford, Forest Hill and Grove Park.
Mobilisation typically takes 7–10 working days from signed scope; urgent cover can start within 48 hours. South London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Steep hills at Honor Oak and Forest Hill, narrow terraced streets and expanding CPZs across SE4 and SE14. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Lewisham and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Victorian and Edwardian terraces and conversions, 1960s Catford estates and new Lewisham town-centre towers is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
£10m public liability, employer's liability, DBS-checked operatives and a full RAMS and COSHH pack — the standard London managing agents ask for before issuing access. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Lewisham tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
One to four operatives depending on floor area, with a named supervisor and a mobile cover team for sickness. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Lewisham postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Specialist decontamination, sharps or clinical waste, External window cleaning above ground floor and Consumables unless you add them to the contract. If something on that list turns up in Lewisham, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

Sardar, he is very professional and all the work he and his assistant did for our house was totally amazing. He is based in London. He came all the way to Brighton. But it was great that we had him for the cleaning. Thank you Sardar!
