Crew sized to the job
One cleaner for a flat; two for a house, so the property is finished in one visit rather than split across a day. Lower Thames Street is a red route; the lanes behind take a small van only.

Overview
Pre-move-in cleaning in Monument and Eastcheap EC3, explained
This page prices pre-move-in cleaning for Monument and Eastcheap EC3 specifically: recent new-build stock, 48% privately rented and 4,914 households in total. Work starts at £95, fixed in writing, with parking and City of London Corporation permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How pre-move-in cleaning works in Monument and Eastcheap
Five steps, the same on every EC3 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Monument and Eastcheap stock goes, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Confirm the completion window
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
Empty-property clean
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
Kitchen and bathroom detail
Cupboards, appliances, tiling and sanitaryware get the time a standard weekly clean never allows.
Step 4
Final checklist
Skirting, switches, sills and floors checked room by room against a written list before we sign off.
Step 5
Handover
Photos of the finished property sent the same day, so you have a record of the condition you moved into.
Why choose us
Why Monument and Eastcheap customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Monument and Eastcheap wall.
Booked around your day
Completion dates move, so we hold flexible same-week slots and can usually confirm the exact time once contracts are exchanged. Monument (Circle, District) is the nearest station, so a EC3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Monument and Eastcheap walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — where 37% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in EC3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Monument (Circle, District) rather than assumed from a map.
Insured and documented
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.
Fixed prices
Pre-move-in cleaning prices in Monument and Eastcheap
Fixed prices for EC3 and the rest of City of London. Bedroom count and whether the property is empty set the price. Furniture still in place, or a heavy inherited kitchen, adds time a truly empty property does not need.
| 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. |

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.

Private renting sits at 48% and owner-occupation at 37%; the first group books pre-move-in cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.
Monument and Eastcheap substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — where 37% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Monument (Circle, District) rather than assumed from a map is the mistake that costs a EC3 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Monument and Eastcheap knows the pattern near The Monument to the Great Fire: riverside City streets between London Bridge and the Tower, dense with narrow lanes. We plan the EC3 visit around it. Monument and Eastcheap sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, lower Thames Street is a red route; the lanes behind take a small van only — 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 Monument (Circle, District).

Can you clean a property in Monument and Eastcheap on the day of completion?
Yes — completion times move, so for EC3 bookings near The Monument to the Great Fire we hold a flexible same-week slot and confirm the exact time once contracts exchange, rather than a fixed calendar appointment across EC3, with 37% owner-occupation locally — and The Monument to the Great Fire a few streets away.
Do you clean new-build flats as well as older houses in City of London?
Both. 98% of Monument and Eastcheap homes are flats and the rest mostly houses; a new-build show kitchen still needs its cupboards and oven cleaned before first use in Monument and Eastcheap — and 15% social-rented stock nearby, with 2% of Monument and Eastcheap homes being houses, and an older Monument and Eastcheap house gets the same room-by-room detail.
Will City of London Corporation or my managing agent expect proof the property was cleaned before I moved in?
Some City of London managing agents ask new leaseholders for a condition record on this side of City of London. We send photographs of the finished Monument and Eastcheap EC3 property the same day in this 98% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Monument (Circle, District), which stands as that record.
Are your fitters insured for work in EC3?

Who books pre-move-in cleaning in Monument and Eastcheap EC3 — tenants, landlords or owners?
