Overview
Pre-move-in cleaning in Greenwich SE10, explained
This page prices pre-move-in cleaning for Greenwich SE10 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 31% privately rented and 17,397 households in total. Work starts at £95, fixed in writing, with parking and Royal Borough of Greenwich permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How pre-move-in cleaning works in Greenwich
Five steps, the same on every SE10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard on these streets — with 29% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first 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 Greenwich customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE10 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
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. Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access.
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. Cutty Sark (DLR) is the nearest station, so a SE10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Greenwich walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is what a 73% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Greenwich actually produces in SE10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Greenwich gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
Pre-move-in cleaning prices in Greenwich
Fixed prices for SE10 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. |

Scope
What's included in Greenwich

Included in the price
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: kitchen cupboards, drawers and worktops cleaned inside and out, arranged with Royal Borough of Greenwich where the kerb needs it
- Bathroom, sanitaryware and tiling limescale-treated and disinfected — including pre-move-in cleaning
- In Greenwich: skirting boards, door frames, switches and internal glass throughout, the way it is done on Greenwich jobs
- On SE10 jobs: floors vacuumed and mopped, ready for furniture the same day, with 73% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Greenwich bookings: a move-in checklist so nothing is missed before keys are handed over, allowing for the 31% of SE10 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
Not included
- Removal of rubbish or furniture left behind by a previous occupant — quoted separately as a clearance, outside the fixed price on Greenwich bookings
- External window cleaning or exterior brickwork and render, and we will say so before the SE10 visit rather than on the day

- Repairs, redecoration or making good beyond a clean, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SE10

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 →

Greenwich SE10 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Greenwich — the numbers that actually change a pre-move-in cleaning quote.
17,397 households sit inside the SE10 neighbourhood covering Greenwich. The build is Georgian and early Victorian, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 73% of those homes are flats.
With 31% private renting against 40% owner-occupied, most SE10 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Walls are with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is what a 73% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Greenwich actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Greenwich is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Greenwich gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
World Heritage centre of the market, the Cutty Sark and the Observatory on the hill. That character decides the practical detail of pre-move-in cleaning here far more than the borough boundary does. Greenwich is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access. Nearest station is Cutty Sark (DLR), and one cleaner for a flat; two for a house, so the property is finished in one visit rather than split across a day.

Common questions
Pre-move-in cleaning in Greenwich SE10 — your questions.
How much does pre-move-in cleaning cost in Greenwich SE10?
Studio or one-bedroom flat starts at £95 in Greenwich on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark, with 32% one-person households here, 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 SE10. Furniture still in place, or a heavy inherited kitchen, adds time a truly empty property does not need on this side of Greenwich, with The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark a few streets away.
Can you clean a property in Greenwich on the day of completion?
Yes — completion times move, so for SE10 bookings near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark we hold a flexible same-week slot and confirm the exact time once contracts exchange, rather than a fixed calendar appointment across SE10 — and 73% of homes here being flats, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
Do you clean new-build flats as well as older houses in Greenwich?
Both. 73% of Greenwich homes are flats and the rest mostly houses; a new-build show kitchen still needs its cupboards and oven cleaned before first use in Greenwich — and this being a short walk from Cutty Sark (DLR), with 27% of Greenwich homes being houses, and an older Greenwich house gets the same room-by-room detail.
Will Royal Borough of Greenwich or my managing agent expect proof the property was cleaned before I moved in?
Some Greenwich managing agents ask new leaseholders for a condition record on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark. We send photographs of the finished Greenwich SE10 property the same day on SE10 jobs, with 73% of homes here being flats, which stands as that record.
How quickly can you reach Greenwich from your Greenwich round?
The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark is the marker we route to on the Greenwich rounds, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood — and 17,397 households on this patch, and cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access. A SE10 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next on SE10 jobs, with 17,397 households on this patch.
Is same-day or evening pre-move-in cleaning available in Greenwich?
Completion dates move, so we hold flexible same-week slots and can usually confirm the exact time once contracts are exchanged on Greenwich bookings, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory. Greenwich sits close to Cutty Sark (DLR), with 73% of homes here being flats, so we can usually add a SE10 job to an existing Greenwich round at short notice on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark.
Do you handle difficult access in Greenwich?
Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Royal Borough of Greenwich it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on Greenwich bookings — and The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark a few streets away, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
