Overview
Pre-move-in cleaning in Charlton SE7, explained
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Charlton, pre-move-in cleaning here covers supply-free fitting from £95. With 48% of Charlton's 5,904 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE7 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How pre-move-in cleaning works in Charlton
Five steps, the same on every SE7 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Charlton stock goes, the reality on the streets around Charlton House 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 Charlton customers book us
What follows is specific to Charlton: its walls, its access and the paperwork Greenwich agents ask for.
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. Charlton (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE7 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Charlton walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — and with 20% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SE7, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — measured on the walk in from Charlton (Southeastern) 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 Charlton
Fixed prices for SE7 and the rest of Greenwich. 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. |

I asked Hello Services for a deep clean of the carpets of a house in London we were moving into.

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 →

Charlton SE7 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Charlton — the numbers that actually change a pre-move-in cleaning quote.
The SE7 stock around Charlton House is mainly Victorian. ONS records 48% flats, 52% houses and 5,904 households in Charlton.
Private renting sits at 20% and owner-occupation at 41%; the first group books pre-move-in cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — and with 20% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does behind the plaster in SE7. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — measured on the walk in from Charlton (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Charlton knows the pattern near Charlton House: jacobean Charlton House, the Valley stadium and riverside retail parks. We plan the SE7 visit around it. Charlton is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, match-day restrictions at the Valley, steep village hill and riverside estate roads — 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 Charlton (Southeastern).

Can you clean a property in Charlton on the day of completion?

Do you clean new-build flats as well as older houses in Greenwich?
Both. 48% of Charlton homes are flats and the rest mostly houses; a new-build show kitchen still needs its cupboards and oven cleaned before first use around Charlton (Southeastern), with Greenwich parking rules in play — and a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood, and an older Charlton house gets the same room-by-room detail.

Are your fitters insured for work in SE7?
