How it works
Step 1
Surface type, rough area, and whether there's an outside tap.
Step 2
Per square metre, with oiling and bowser water as separate lines.
Step 3
Furniture moved, gaps cleared, biocide soak on shaded growth.
Step 4
Full strength on concrete; stepped down on stone, softwood and composite.
Step 5
Decking dried before oiling, drainage checked, furniture replaced.
Why choose us
One technician for a standard garden patio or deck; two for a roof terrace or balcony where water has to be carried up by bowser and furniture moved through a lift or stairwell. Tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most streets.
Same-week across every borough, with weekend slots common through spring and early summer when garden and roof-terrace use picks up. Mitcham (Tramlink) is the nearest station, so a CR4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs in CR4, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green in CR4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Wastewater containing detergent or biocide is contained and directed away from surface water drains during the clean, and drainage outlets on roof terraces and balconies are checked and cleared as part of the visit.

Scope
Very pleased and impressed with our end of tenancy clean. Sekai, Gary and Richmond were really friendly, we would highly recommend them. Thank you!
End of tenancy clean and wow! Better than I expected and only used Hello Services because I found them for my work boss' flats in London. Reasonably priced, value for money and A1 first class job done. Very professional and friendly too. Many thanks Laura
First time using Hello Services within North London and I would highly recommend. Excellent end of tenancy clean, would use again! Thank you!

Working in Mitcham
The CR4 stock around Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green is mainly Victorian. ONS records 46% flats, 54% houses and 10,087 households in Mitcham.
28% of households rent privately and 47% own, which is why patio and decking cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs in CR4, with solid brick on the party and external walls — the reality on the streets around Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green, so the fixing that matters in Mitcham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster — with 25% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first.
Anyone who knows Mitcham knows the pattern near Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green: one of the largest commons in London, a cricket green and Wandle-valley industry. We plan the CR4 visit around it. Mitcham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most streets — one reason one technician for a standard garden patio or deck; two for a roof terrace or balcony where water has to be carried up by bowser and furniture moved through a lift or stairwell. Fitters travelling in use Mitcham (Tramlink).

50 in Mitcham, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked on Merton bookings, with 47% owner-occupation locally. Surface material first — natural stone and composite decking cost more per square metre than concrete because both need a lower pressure that takes longer to cover the same area — then access, since a roof terrace with no outside tap needs water carried up rather than run from a hose in this 46% flats neighbourhood — and 47% owner-occupation locally, with this being a short walk from Mitcham (Tramlink).
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions for Mitcham (CR4) addresses, with Merton parking rules in play. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Mitcham most weeks on the streets near Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green, with 46% of homes here being flats.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the streets near Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in in this 46% flats neighbourhood. With 46% of Mitcham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on Merton bookings, with 25% one-person households here — and 25% social-rented stock nearby, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Wastewater containing detergent or biocide is contained and directed away from surface water drains during the clean across CR4, with Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green a few streets away, and drainage outlets on roof terraces and balconies are checked and cleared as part of the visit. That paperwork is what most Merton letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat around Mitcham (Tramlink), with 54% of Mitcham homes being houses.
Replacing rotten, cracked or delaminating deck boards; Repointing or re-bedding loose or sunken stone slabs; Deep oil or paint staining soaked into porous stone; Structural work on raised decking or balustrades on Merton bookings — and 10,087 households on this patch, with 46% of homes here being flats. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Mitcham CR4 price you agree is the price you pay in Mitcham, with this being London Borough of Merton territory.
All three. With 28% of Mitcham privately rented and 47% owner-occupied, roughly half the CR4 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door for Mitcham (CR4) addresses — and Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green a few streets away, with this being a short walk from Mitcham (Tramlink).
