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. Narrow canal bridges, studio blocks with freight lifts and event-day park closures.

Overview
Pre-move-in cleaning in Hackney Wick E9, explained
Pre-move-in cleaning in Hackney Wick E9 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Hackney, most of them post-war. 2,805 households sit inside this E9 patch, 69% of them flats, so we quote on access near The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park rather than a London average.
How it works
How pre-move-in cleaning works in Hackney Wick
Five steps, the same on every E9 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Hackney Wick gives us council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, which is what a 69% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Hackney Wick actually produces 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 Hackney Wick customers book us
What follows is specific to Hackney Wick: its walls, its access and the paperwork Hackney 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. Hackney Wick (Overground) is the nearest station, so a E9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Hackney Wick walls, not generic walls
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Hackney Wick, often with surface conduit — the reality on the streets around The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in E9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in E9, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — which is why London Borough of Hackney kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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 Hackney Wick
Fixed prices for E9 and the rest of Hackney. 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. |

Included in the price

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 →

Hackney Wick E9 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Hackney Wick — the numbers that actually change a pre-move-in cleaning quote.
Walk Hackney Wick from The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park outwards and the post-war pattern is obvious: 69% of the 2,805 households in E9 live in flats, 31% in houses.
28% of households rent privately and 28% own, which is why pre-move-in cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Hackney Wick, often with surface conduit — the reality on the streets around The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park behind the plaster in E9. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in E9, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — which is why London Borough of Hackney kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the fault we are called back to undo.
Anyone who knows Hackney Wick knows the pattern near The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park: canal-side studios and warehouse blocks facing the Olympic Park. We plan the E9 visit around it. Hackney Wick is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Narrow canal bridges, studio blocks with freight lifts and event-day park closures. Nearest station is Hackney Wick (Overground), and one cleaner for a flat; two for a house, so the property is finished in one visit rather than split across a day.

Can you clean a property in Hackney Wick on the day of completion?
Yes — completion times move, so for E9 bookings near The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park we hold a flexible same-week slot and confirm the exact time once contracts exchange, rather than a fixed calendar appointment in Hackney Wick — and 45% social-rented stock nearby, with this being a short walk from Hackney Wick (Overground).
Do you clean new-build flats as well as older houses in Hackney?
Both. 69% of Hackney Wick homes are flats and the rest mostly houses; a new-build show kitchen still needs its cupboards and oven cleaned before first use on this side of Hackney — and 31% of Hackney Wick homes being houses, with 45% social-rented stock nearby, and an older Hackney Wick house gets the same room-by-room detail.
Will London Borough of Hackney or my managing agent expect proof the property was cleaned before I moved in?

Are your fitters insured for work in E9?
Cleaners carry £5m public liability and work to COSHH sheets for every product in Hackney Wick, with The Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park a few streets away, which is what most managing agents ask for before a first inspection. That paperwork is what most Hackney letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat around Hackney Wick (Overground), with 31% of Hackney Wick homes being houses.

All three. With 28% of Hackney Wick privately rented and 28% owner-occupied, roughly half the E9 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Hackney — and 45% social-rented stock nearby, with 31% of Hackney Wick homes being houses.
