How the day runs
A deep clean day in Lambeth from door to walk-round
- Tell us the size and the conditionPick studio to 5-bed and say honestly how the place is: kept on top of, normally lived in, or a heavy build-up. Condition, not square footage, is what decides the hours.
- Get a fixed price on screenThe estimate is fixed against the size, condition and any add-ons you choose. Parking, permits, ULEZ, products and equipment are already inside it.
- Choose a slot that suits an occupied homeWeekends and evening starts carry no premium. Tell us which rooms matter most and whether anyone is working from home, and we sequence the day around it.
- Room-by-room deep clean, top downA DBS-checked team works ceiling to floor, room by room: high dusting and light fittings, then appliances and detail work, then surfaces, then floors last so nothing lands on a clean floor.
- Walk round together, then the put-right promiseWe walk the property with you at the end and note anything you want revisited. If you spot something within 48 hours, tell us and we come back to it free.

Why Hello Services
What a deep clean in Lambeth 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.
Built for Balham's period homes
High ceilings, sash boxes, original boards and older bathware need poles, steam and dwell time rather than force. We carry compact HEPA units up walk-up stairs and treat scale and grout chemically instead of scouring finishes that cannot be replaced.
Add-ons and local costs
What can change the price in Lambeth and what never does
| Add-on | From | Time | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carpet steam cleaning | £45 | 30–45 min / room | Hot-water extraction with pre-spray and traffic-lane treatment, booked on the same visit so the room is only moved once. |
| Upholstery deep clean | £75 | 45–60 min | Extraction clean with a fabric test patch and deodoriser. Armchairs from £35, dining chairs from £12. |
| Mattress clean and sanitise | £40 | 30–45 min | Both sides extracted and sanitised, allergen and dust-mite treatment. Popular in homes with children or asthma. |
| Pet hair and odour treatment | £35 | +45–60 min | Rubber-brush lift on carpets and upholstery, enzyme odour treatment on the places a vacuum cannot reach. |
| Double oven, range or Aga | £35 | +45–90 min | Single ovens are included as standard. Ranges and double ovens need extra dip-tank time and a second technician pass. |
| Fridge-freezer defrost and strip | £25 | +60 min | Defrost, drawer, shelf and seal clean and drip-tray flush. Switch it off the night before if you can. |
| Heavy limescale treatment | £30 | +45 min | Extended acid-safe descaler contact on screens, taps, tiles and toilet. London water is hard in every borough. |
| Exterior window cleaning | £60 | 1–2 hrs | Reach-and-wash glass, frames and sills to third floor. Above that needs access equipment and a separate quote. |
| Balcony, terrace or patio | £45 | 45–60 min | Decking or tile wash-down, railings, glass balustrade and a drain clear — the block's inspection list, in other words. |
| Inside wardrobes and drawers | Included | included | Cleared shelves, drawer runners and wardrobe interiors are inside the price on every deep clean, not a bolt-on. |
- Parking and permits
- Very tight CPZ, narrow streets and Art Deco blocks with small original lifts. Any permit, suspension or dispensation in London Borough of Lambeth's zone is arranged and paid for by us.
- Controlled parking hours
- London Borough of Lambeth operates controlled parking across most of Lambeth. We check the exact street's hours at booking so the team is not moving the van halfway through your kitchen.
- Congestion Charge
- Part of Lambeth sits inside the Congestion Charge zone. The charge is inside your fixed price — it is never added afterwards.
- ULEZ
- Every Hello Services vehicle is ULEZ-compliant, so there is no ULEZ line on your invoice anywhere in London.
- Walk-up access
- Lift or ground-floor access here, so no stair-carry allowance is needed in the timing.
- Concierge and lift booking
- No managed-building sign-in needed at most addresses here; tell us at booking if yours differs.
- You stay at home
- Deep cleaning happens around your furniture and your things. You can be in, out, or working from the room we are not in — we sequence the rooms with you at the door.
- Weekend and evening slots
- Saturday and Sunday slots carry no premium. Evening starts after 4pm are available for occupied homes at no extra cost, subject to a team being free.
This housing stock
Where dirt actually hides in Lambeth 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.
Sash boxes, window furniture and shutter recesses
Original sash windows collect decades of grit in the box, the pulley recess and the staff bead. We brush and vacuum them out before the glass is touched, otherwise it comes straight back.
Cornices, picture rails and ceiling roses
High Victorian ceilings mean high dust. Extendable poles and microfibre take the cornice runs, the rose and the tops of door architraves in one pass, done before floors.
Floorboard gaps, radiator backs and cast-iron detail
Original boards trap dust in the gaps and along the skirting edge; period radiators hide it behind and between the columns. Both need a crevice tool, not a mop.
Older grout and enamel bathware
Decades-old grout and enamel stain rather than soil. Steam plus a dwell time lifts what a bathroom spray cannot, and we tell you honestly when it is permanent.

About the borough
Lambeth in context
