Overview
Pre-move-in cleaning in West Kensington and Olympia W14, explained
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Kensington, pre-move-in cleaning here covers supply-free fitting from £95. With 95% of West Kensington and Olympia's 4,112 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in W14 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
How pre-move-in cleaning works in West Kensington and Olympia
Five steps, the same on every W14 job, so you know what happens before you commit. West Kensington and Olympia gives us new-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, where 31% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year 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 West Kensington and Olympia customers book us
What follows is specific to West Kensington and Olympia: its walls, its access and the paperwork Hammersmith and Fulham 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. Kensington (Olympia) (District, Overground) is the nearest station, so a W14 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
West Kensington and Olympia walls, not generic walls
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms, over dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork — a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in W14, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in W14, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — which is why London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham 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 West Kensington and Olympia
Fixed prices for W14 and the rest of Hammersmith and Fulham. 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. |

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.
