Overview
This page prices pre-move-in cleaning for Hampstead NW3 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 45% privately rented and 11,433 households in total. Work starts at £95, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Camden permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
We work to your solicitor's likely key-release time, not a fixed morning or afternoon slot, so the clean lands before the van does.
Step 2
Every room cleaned from the top down while there is nothing to work around — the fastest and most thorough order to do it in.
Step 3
Cupboards, appliances, tiling and sanitaryware get the time a standard weekly clean never allows.
Step 4
Skirting, switches, sills and floors checked room by room against a written list before we sign off.
Step 5
Photos of the finished property sent the same day, so you have a record of the condition you moved into.
Why choose us
Completion dates move, so we hold flexible same-week slots and can usually confirm the exact time once contracts are exchanged. Hampstead (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in NW3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Hampstead, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, where 39% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Cleaners carry £5m public liability and work to COSHH sheets for every product, which is what most managing agents ask for before a first inspection.
One cleaner for a flat; two for a house, so the property is finished in one visit rather than split across a day. Steep, narrow lanes where a 3.5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bedroom flat | £95 | 2–3 hrs | Kitchen, bathroom and every cupboard cleaned inside before a single box comes in, including the previous tenant's dust and grease. |
| Two-bedroom flat or maisonette | £140 | 3–4 hrs | Two bathrooms or an en suite add time, and empty rooms mean skirting and window sills get a proper first-fit clean. |
| Three-bedroom house | £195 | 4–6 hrs | More floor area and usually a garage or utility room that a standard clean would skip. |
| Four-bedroom house or larger | £260 | 6–8 hrs | Two cleaners working room by room so the property is ready before the removal van is booked to arrive. |
| Oven, hob and extractor add-on | £65 | 1–2 hrs | New-build show ovens and inherited appliances both need a dip-tank clean before first use, not a wipe-over. |
| Carpet clean add-on, per room | £35 | 30–45 min | Hot-water extraction on the carpets left behind by a previous occupant, before furniture goes down on them. |
| Internal window and sill clean, whole property | £45 | 1 hr | Sills and internal glass throughout, so the light coming into an empty room isn't through someone else's fingerprints. |

Scope
I asked Hello Services for a deep clean of the carpets of a house in London we were moving into. Loqman and his colleague arrived on time and were incredibly fast in firstly hoovering all to be worked on and then deep cleaning a total of seven sets of carpets across our first and second… Read in full →
Ana and her team cleaned performed a deep clean of our 3 bedroom home in London after we’d sold it, prior to the new buyers moving in.

Diana and Alex carried out a deep clean for my property prior to new tenants arriving. The actually cleaning was superb and I would highly recommend them. The only downside was the office and booking system. The poor couple had to travel from Wimbledon to sidcup after waiting for the previous client to attend and… Read in full →

Working in Hampstead
In Hampstead (NW3) the split is 84% flats to 17% houses over 11,433 households, and the stock is Georgian and early Victorian.
The renter-heavy mix here (39% owned, 45% privately rented) means a NW3 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are lath and plaster over timber studs; locally that also means with solid brick on the party and external walls, which is why London Borough of Camden kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded, so the fixing that matters in Hampstead is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in Hampstead, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, where 39% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Hampstead sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — georgian hill village of narrow lanes, artists' houses and the Heath on its doorstep — which is why a NW3 quote is not a Camden average.
On access, steep, narrow lanes where a 3.5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond — one reason one cleaner for a flat; two for a house, so the property is finished in one visit rather than split across a day. Fitters travelling in use Hampstead (Northern).

Studio or one-bedroom flat starts at £95 in Hampstead on the streets near Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House, with Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House a few streets away, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Bedroom count and whether the property is empty set the price across NW3. Furniture still in place, or a heavy inherited kitchen, adds time a truly empty property does not need on this side of Camden, with this being a short walk from Hampstead (Northern).

Both. 84% of Hampstead homes are flats and the rest mostly houses; a new-build show kitchen still needs its cupboards and oven cleaned before first use on Camden bookings — and this being a short walk from Hampstead (Northern), with Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House a few streets away, and an older Hampstead house gets the same room-by-room detail.
Some Camden managing agents ask new leaseholders for a condition record in this 84% flats neighbourhood. We send photographs of the finished Hampstead NW3 property the same day on this side of Camden, with this being London Borough of Camden territory, which stands as that record.
5t Luton is the practical maximum; several streets need a shuttle from Whitestone Pond on this side of Camden. A NW3 slot added to an existing Camden round usually lands the same week rather than the next on NW3 jobs, with Hampstead Heath and Kenwood House a few streets away.
