Why Hello Services

What Kensington clients get from us

DBS-checked, reference-vetted cleaners

Every cleaner is identity-checked, reference-checked and DBS-screened before their first job around High Street Kensington (Circle, District). You get a named cleaner, not an anonymous slot on W8 jobs.

Fixed pricing, no call-out or charge extras

The price quoted is the price invoiced. Congestion Charge, ULEZ and permit costs for Kensington are already inside it — there is no travel surcharge and no call-out fee on the streets near Kensington Palace, with 13,346 households on this patch.

Equipment and eco products included

Teams arrive with HEPA vacuums, microfibre systems, steam and COSHH-compliant eco products on the Kensington rounds. You do not need to supply anything, or store anything afterwards on Kensington and Chelsea bookings.

Deposit-back re-clean guarantee

If a check-out report flags cleaning within 72 hours of an end-of-tenancy clean, we return and re-clean the flagged items free of charge in Kensington, with 13,346 households on this patch.

Same cleaner on recurring bookings

Weekly and fortnightly customers keep the same cleaner around High Street Kensington (Circle, District), with 83% of homes here being flats — and Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play, so nobody has to re-explain the flat, the alarm code or which floor finish hates a wet mop.

Kensington and Chelsea check-outs, inventory-clerk standard

With 46% of Kensington households privately renting, we clean to the inventory report — appliance interiors, window tracks, limescale, extractor filters — and can turn a W8 flat around between tenancies in a single day on the Kensington rounds — and Kensington Palace a few streets away, with Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play.

About the area

Kensington in context

Ask anyone in W8 what marks Kensington out and Kensington Palace comes up first. The high street, palace gardens and the quiet garden squares of Kensington proper. Market gardens turned into the Great Exhibition's Albertopolis, then estate-built stucco terraces for the Victorian wealthy.

What our teams actually walk into: stucco terraces, red-brick mansion blocks with porters and mews cottages. With 82.9% of Kensington and Chelsea stock being flats and 39.6% of households privately renting, the W8 workload splits between recurring domestic visits and tenancy turnarounds on short notice.

Access is the other half of the job. Mansion blocks with cage lifts and porter sign-in; Kensington High Street loading windows are short. Part of Kensington and Chelsea sits inside the Congestion Charge zone and all of it is inside ULEZ. We check the exact address against Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea's controlled parking zone before the booking is confirmed, so nobody arrives to a bay they cannot use — and the cost of doing that is already inside the quoted price.

Where Kensington sits in our coverage

Kensington sits inside the coverage published on our cleaning in Kensington and Chelsea page, which sits under cleaning across London.
