- City of London Corporation permits and ULEZ inside the price

The service, locally
One-off deep cleaning in Aldgate EC3
Aldgate's shared-tenancy homes get a whole-house deep clean rather than a room count: one visit, one team, one price, with the EC3 kitchen and bathrooms taking the bulk of the hours.
Shared houses around Aldgate are cleaned as one property, not as a set of rooms. The kitchen takes the longest because several people cook in it, the bathrooms scale fast, and every let bedroom needs its own detail pass. We quote whole-house so nobody is arguing about whose room was worse.
Typical home here: shared and student houses. Access and parking: Aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking.

Why Hello Services
What a deep clean in Aldgate actually gets you
48-hour put-right promise
We walk the property with you before we leave. If you spot something in the next 48 hours, send a photo and we come back to it free — no argument, no second invoice.
Priced by size and condition, not by the hour
An hourly rate punishes you for a dirty oven. We quote on property size and honest condition, so a slow job is our problem and the price on screen is the price on the day.
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, high-dusting poles and a colour-coded microfibre system. Nothing of yours gets used.
Oven interior and extractor filters as standard
The single oven, hob, extractor canopy and filters are inside the price on every deep clean. They are the dirtiest thing in the room and the first thing you would notice if we skipped them.
Whole-house cleans for shared homes in Aldgate
Shared and student houses are quoted as one property and cleaned in one visit, with the kitchen and bathrooms given the hours they actually need. One invoice, split however the household likes.

This housing stock
Where dirt actually hides in Aldgate homes
Extractor filters and the cupboard tops above the hob
Aerosolised cooking grease lands on the filter, the canopy and the flat tops of the wall units, then holds dust. It is the single dirtiest square metre in most London kitchens and the one a weekly clean never touches.
Limescale on screens, taps and toilet rims
Every London borough sits on hard water. Scale builds under the rim, around the tap base and across the shower screen, and it needs acid-safe descaler and contact time rather than a scourer and effort.
Shared-kitchen grease across every surface
Multiple cooks, one extractor. Grease films the wall units, the ceiling above the hob and the top of the fridge, and needs degreaser with dwell time on each pass.
Bedroom desks, walls and wardrobe interiors
Each let room is effectively a bedsit: desk area, wall marks behind it, wardrobe interior and skirtings all need individual attention.
Bathroom scale in a shared bathroom
Four or five showers a day builds scale and soap film faster than any family bathroom. Screens, trays and the extractor cover get the full descaler treatment.
Bin recesses, floors and door frames
The parts of a shared house nobody owns. Floors to the edges, bin cupboards, door frames and handles all get cleaned as a matter of routine.

About the area
Aldgate in context
Aldgate is one of City of London's EC3 neighbourhoods, built around The Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe and served by Aldgate (Circle, Metropolitan). Eastern edge of the Square Mile where office towers meet Whitechapel's high street.
What our teams walk into: new residential towers, student blocks and 1970s estates around middlesex street. With 98% of City of London dwellings being flats and a median age of 36.9, EC3 deep cleans skew towards shared and student houses rather than large empty houses.
Access decides how the day is scheduled. Aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking. Part of City of London sits inside the Congestion Charge zone and all of it is inside ULEZ. We confirm City of London Corporation's controlled parking position for the exact street before the booking is fixed, and that cost sits inside the quoted price.
Shared houses around Aldgate are cleaned as one property, not as a set of rooms. The kitchen takes the longest because several people cook in it, the bathrooms scale fast, and every let bedroom needs its own detail pass. We quote whole-house so nobody is arguing about whose room was worse.

Questions
Aldgate EC3 deep cleaning questions, answered
A 2-bedroom deep clean in Aldgate is £245 if the home is cleaned regularly and £275 in normal lived-in condition, and takes a two-cleaner team five to seven hours. That includes the oven interior, extractor filters, appliance interiors, full limescale treatment, inside cupboards, high dusting and floors — plus every parking, permit and ULEZ cost in City of London.
A regular clean maintains the surfaces you use daily. A deep clean resets everything behind and above them: inside the oven and appliances, extractor filters, the tops of wall units, cupboard interiors, grout, limescale, skirtings, radiator backs, window tracks, light fittings and behind furniture. It takes three to four times as long and is normally booked once or twice a year.
You can be in or out — key collection, a key safe or a doorstep handover all work. Most people stay. We agree a room order at the door, so you can keep working in one room while we finish another, and we never block the kitchen and the bathroom at the same time.
A studio is three to four hours with one cleaner, a 2-bed five to seven hours with two, and a 4-bed eight to ten hours with two or three. Shared houses around Aldgate are cleaned as one property, not as a set of rooms. We book the hours the property needs rather than a fixed slot, so we do not leave a room half done.
Only where you can. Clear worktops and floors mean the team spends its hours cleaning rather than moving your things, and we will always tell you honestly at the quote stage if clutter will limit what we can reach. We do not throw anything away and we do not move valuables.
A colour-coded microfibre system with pH-appropriate products: non-caustic degreaser in the kitchen, acid-safe descaler in the bathroom, and neutral or steam-only on sealed floors. Child- and pet-safe products are used throughout unless a specific stain needs something stronger, and we tell you if so.
Yes, as add-ons on the same visit: carpet steam cleaning from £45 per room, a 3-seat sofa from £75 and mattresses from £40. Booking them together means the furniture only gets moved once and you get one invoice.
No. Aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking. Where City of London Corporation 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.
Aldgate is inside the ULEZ and part of City of London falls inside the Congestion Charge zone. Both are already inside the fixed price we quote — there is no separate line on your invoice.
Once or twice a year for most homes. Book the second one before winter, when windows stay shut and heating moves dust around the flat far more than you would expect.
Tell us within 48 hours — a photo by message is enough — and we return to put it right free of charge, usually within 48 hours. We also walk the property with you before we leave, which resolves the large majority of City of London queries on the spot.
Often, yes. Next-day slots carry no premium and weekends cost the same as weekdays. Genuine same-day bookings are +£40 and depend on a team being free — call 020 3633 4555 for same-day availability; the online form covers everything from tomorrow onwards.
Yes — every street in EC3, E1, including Aldgate and the neighbouring City of London areas. Boundary postcodes are covered too; enter your full postcode in the quote form and it confirms coverage instantly.
Yes. A single oven, the hob, the extractor canopy and its filters are inside the price of every deep clean — racks and trays go in a dip tank and the door glass is split and cleaned inside. Only double ovens, ranges and Agas carry an extra £35 because of the additional dip time.
