Pre-move-in cleaning prices in Ealing

What a pre-move-in clean costs in Ealing. 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. The borough-specific additions here come from ULEZ, controlled parking zones and stair access.
Pre-move-in cleaning price guide for Ealing
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Studio or one-bedroom flat£952–3 hrsKitchen, 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£1403–4 hrsTwo bathrooms or an en suite add time, and empty rooms mean skirting and window sills get a proper first-fit clean.
Three-bedroom house£1954–6 hrsMore floor area and usually a garage or utility room that a standard clean would skip.
Four-bedroom house or larger£2606–8 hrsTwo cleaners working room by room so the property is ready before the removal van is booked to arrive.
Oven, hob and extractor add-on£651–2 hrsNew-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£3530–45 minHot-water extraction on the carpets left behind by a previous occupant, before furniture goes down on them.
Internal window and sill clean, whole property£451 hrSills and internal glass throughout, so the light coming into an empty room isn't through someone else's fingerprints.

Prices include VAT with a £95 minimum charge per visit. Properties are cleaned empty wherever possible — furniture in situ takes longer and is quoted on survey. Completion-day bookings are held to the timescale conveyancers actually work to, not a fixed calendar slot.

Working in Ealing

Why Ealing is not a generic London job

Ealing Studios and Walpole Park is the landmark; the working detail below is what actually changes the price and the method in Ealing.

The housing stock

What our crews walk into in Ealing is edwardian villas, 1930s semis, victorian terraces in acton and new crossrail-era blocks at southall and ealing broadway, and the mix changes street by street — Acton (W3), Ealing (W5) and Greenford (UB6) each behave differently on the day.

Access, parking and permits

Parking is the job before the job here: mixed — driveways in ealing and greenford, but acton and southall have tight cpzs and busy narrow shopping streets. Locally that means narrow terraced streets with permit bays, plus new towers requiring booked lifts and broadway loading windows, permit bays on the villa streets and booked lifts in new blocks. Ealing sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.

London Borough of Ealing rules

London Borough of Ealing tenancies and the local letting agents in Ealing both work to a written check-out standard rather than a general impression of clean. We clean to that list, photograph the finish and re-attend free if the inventory clerk disagrees.

How the borough got this way

Ealing took its present shape because victorian villa suburbs built for city commuters, expanded hugely by the great western and the central line.

Scope

What's included in Ealing

The same scope everywhere in the borough, whether the job is in Acton or West Ealing and Northfields.

Included in the price

  • Kitchen cupboards, drawers and worktops cleaned inside and out
  • Bathroom, sanitaryware and tiling limescale-treated and disinfected
  • Skirting boards, door frames, switches and internal glass throughout
  • Floors vacuumed and mopped, ready for furniture the same day
  • A move-in checklist so nothing is missed before keys are handed over

Not included

  • Removal of rubbish or furniture left behind by a previous occupant — quoted separately as a clearance
  • External window cleaning or exterior brickwork and render
  • Carpet and upholstery cleaning unless added to the booking
  • Repairs, redecoration or making good beyond a clean

Method

How a Ealing booking runs

Five steps, the same on every Ealing job, so you know what happens before you commit.
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Kitchen and bathroom detail

    Cupboards, appliances, tiling and sanitaryware get the time a standard weekly clean never allows.

  4. Step 4

    Final checklist

    Skirting, switches, sills and floors checked room by room against a written list before we sign off.

  5. Step 5

    Handover

    Photos of the finished property sent the same day, so you have a record of the condition you moved into.

Local questions

Pre-move-in cleaning in Ealing — your questions

  • How much does a pre-move-in clean cost in Ealing?

    Studio or one-bedroom flat starts at £95 in Ealing, and the ladder runs up to £45 for the largest job on the table above. 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.

  • Which Ealing postcodes do you cover?

    We cover the whole borough: NW10, UB1, UB2, UB5, UB6, W13, W3, W5 and W7. On the ground that includes Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Hanwell, Northolt and Park Royal.

  • How quickly can you get to Ealing?

    Completion dates move, so we hold flexible same-week slots and can usually confirm the exact time once contracts are exchanged. West London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.

  • What about parking and permits in Ealing?

    Mixed — driveways in Ealing and Greenford, but Acton and Southall have tight CPZs and busy narrow shopping streets. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Ealing and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.

  • Do you work in Ealing flats and blocks with no lift?

    Yes. Edwardian villas, 1930s semis, Victorian terraces in Acton and new Crossrail-era blocks at Southall and Ealing Broadway is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.

  • Are you insured and licensed for work in Ealing?

    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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Ealing tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.

  • Who turns up, and with what?

    One cleaner for a flat; two for a house, so the property is finished in one visit rather than split across a day. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Ealing postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.

  • What is not included?

    Removal of rubbish or furniture left behind by a previous occupant — quoted separately as a clearance, External window cleaning or exterior brickwork and render and Carpet and upholstery cleaning unless added to the booking. If something on that list turns up in Ealing, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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.
