Why Hello Services
What Deptford tenants and landlords get from us
Deposit-back re-clean guarantee
If the check-out report raises a cleaning issue within 72 hours of our visit, send us the report and we return to re-clean those items free of charge. No quibbling, no second invoice.
Agent and landlord approved checklist
We clean to the same room-by-room list independent inventory clerks work from, and you get the completed checklist plus a photo record to forward to your agent.
DBS-checked, insured cleaners
Every cleaner is identity-checked, reference-checked and DBS-screened, and we carry £5m public liability plus treatment risk cover. Certificates on request before the visit.
All equipment and products included
Teams arrive with an oven dip tank, HEPA vacuum, steam unit, acid-safe descaler and a colour-coded microfibre system. You do not need to leave anything behind for us.
Oven and appliance deep clean as standard
The oven interior, racks, door glass, hob and extractor filters are inside the price on every tenancy clean — never a bolt-on, because it is the first thing the clerk opens.
Built for Deptford's period conversions
Walk-up flats with no lift, sash boxes, original boards and older bathware need compact kit and a longer detail pass. We carry cordless HEPA units up the stairs and treat scale with acid-safe descaler and contact time rather than a scourer.

Deposit protection
What loses deposits in Deptford and how we stop it
- Oven interior, racks and door glass — the single most flagged item on any check-out report
- Limescale on shower screens, taps and toilets; London's water is hard in every borough
- Sash boxes, window furniture and original floorboard edges
- Grout and older enamel bathware where scale and staining are decades deep
- Cornices, picture rails and radiator backs in high-ceilinged rooms
Your rights at check-out
Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, a tenancy signed on or after 1 June 2019 cannot require you to pay for professional cleaning as a condition of the tenancy. What the landlord can require is that the property is returned as clean as it was at check-in, evidenced against the inventory. Your deposit must be in a government-approved scheme, and a disputed deduction goes to that scheme's free adjudication — which weighs photographic evidence heavily. That is why we hand you a dated photo record with the completed checklist on the day. General guidance, not legal advice.

About the area
Deptford in context
Ask in SE8 what marks Deptford out and Deptford Market Yard comes up first. Market street, the Albany and the creek-side yards of the old naval dockyard. Kentish villages absorbed by railways from the 1840s; Deptford's naval dockyard and Deptford Creek shaped its industrial edge.
Georgian survivors on Albury Street, Victorian terraces, estates and new creek-side blocks. Lewisham's tenure split — 43.4% owned, 27.2% private rented, 29.2% social (ONS Census 2021) — puts Deptford firmly in the period conversions bracket, and the clean is priced and staffed for that.
Access decides how a check-out is scheduled. Market-day closures on Deptford High Street, narrow creek lanes and estate lifts. Lewisham sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside ULEZ. We confirm London Borough of Lewisham's controlled parking position for the exact street before the booking is fixed, so nobody arrives to a bay they cannot use — and that cost sits inside the quoted price.
Agents letting Deptford's conversions know the stock is old and price wear and tear accordingly, but they are unforgiving on anything cleanable: sash boxes, grout, limescale, radiator backs and the original floor edges are the recurring entries on Lewisham check-out reports.

Questions
Deptford SE8 end of tenancy questions, answered
A 2-bedroom end of tenancy clean in Deptford starts at £255 unfurnished and £285 furnished, and normally takes a two-cleaner team five to seven hours. That price includes the oven deep clean, appliance interiors, limescale removal, all cupboard interiors and internal glass, plus every parking, permit and ULEZ cost in Lewisham.
We guarantee the cleaning element, which is the most commonly disputed part of a check-out. If the report flags cleaning within 72 hours we return and re-clean free. We cannot cover damage, missing items or wear and tear — deposit schemes assess those separately from cleanliness.
A tenancy signed on or after 1 June 2019 cannot require you to pay for professional cleaning as a condition of the tenancy under the Tenant Fees Act 2019. What the landlord can require is that the property is returned as clean as it was at check-in. If it is not, a deduction can be claimed at check-out and evidenced against the inventory. This is general guidance, not legal advice.
Yes. Send us the check-out report within 72 hours of our visit and we return to re-clean the flagged items at no cost, usually within 48 hours. We also give you a photo record and completed checklist on the day, which resolves most Lewisham queries before a re-clean is needed.
Carpet steam cleaning is an add-on at £45 per room using hot-water extraction, and it is booked on the same visit so you get one receipt for the agent. Vacuuming and traffic-lane treatment are already included in the tenancy clean itself.
Seven to ten days is comfortable for SE8, and month-end Fridays are the busiest slot in Lewisham by a wide margin. We can often cover a next-day booking, and same-day when a check-out moves at short notice.
No. Market-day closures on Deptford High Street, narrow creek lanes and estate lifts. Where London Borough of Lewisham operates a controlled parking zone at your address we check the hours at booking and arrange a visitor permit, a suspended bay or a dispensation ourselves. You are never asked to buy a permit and it is not added to your invoice.
Deptford is inside the ULEZ but outside the Congestion Charge zone. Our vehicles are ULEZ-compliant and any charge is already inside the fixed price.
Yes. Tell us the access process at booking and we register the team, book the service or goods lift where the managing agent requires it, and send ID and insurance documents to the concierge in advance. Key-safe and agent key release both work too.
Yes, and it matters here: London's water is hard in every borough, and scale on screens, taps and toilets is the second most common reason a check-out clean gets rejected. We use acid-safe descaler with proper contact time rather than abrasives, so chrome and glass are not scratched.
Often, yes. Genuine same-day bookings carry a £40 premium and depend on a team being free; next-day slots carry no premium at all. Call 020 3633 4555 for same-day availability — the online form covers everything from tomorrow onwards.
Yes — every street in SE8, including Deptford and the neighbouring Lewisham areas. Boundary postcodes are covered too; enter the full postcode in the quote form and it confirms coverage instantly.
You do not need to be there — key collection, a key safe or agent key release all work. The property should be empty of your belongings and furniture where possible, because we clean inside cupboards, behind appliances and along skirtings. Utilities need to be on: no hot water or power means no proper clean.
