Why Hello Services
What Bermondsey 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 Bermondsey'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 Bermondsey 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
Bermondsey in context
Former biscuit and leather factories converted into lofts, plus the Blue market. That is Bermondsey, a SE16 neighbourhood of Southwark with Bermondsey (Jubilee) as its link into central London. London's medieval overspill of inns and theatres, then wharves and warehouses; the riverside was rebuilt for offices and flats from the 1990s.
Tenure is what shapes the check-out workload here. Across Southwark, 28.7% of households rent privately, 31.3% own and 39.7% rent socially (ONS Census 2021) — against a London-wide private-rented share of 30%. Factory lofts with goods lifts, Victorian terraces and 1930s LCC estates.
Logistics set the slots we can offer in SE16. Railway-arch loading limits, tight factory-yard entrances and permit bays. Part of Southwark sits inside the Congestion Charge zone and all of it is inside ULEZ. Every quote already carries the parking, permit and charging position for the street, so the number you see is the number you pay on the day the keys go back.
Agents letting Bermondsey'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 Southwark check-out reports.

Questions
Bermondsey SE16 end of tenancy questions, answered
A 2-bedroom end of tenancy clean in Bermondsey 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 Southwark.
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 Southwark queries before a re-clean is needed.
No. Railway-arch loading limits, tight factory-yard entrances and permit bays. Where London Borough of Southwark 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.
Bermondsey is inside the ULEZ and part of Southwark falls inside the Congestion Charge zone. Both are already inside the fixed price we quote — there is no separate line on your invoice.
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 SE16, SE1, including Bermondsey and the neighbouring Southwark 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.
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 SE16, and month-end Fridays are the busiest slot in Southwark by a wide margin. We can often cover a next-day booking, and same-day when a check-out moves at short notice.
