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. Wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet.

Overview
Pre-move-in cleaning in Ickenham UB10, explained
This page prices pre-move-in cleaning for Ickenham UB10 specifically: inter-war stock, 14% privately rented and 2,922 households in total. Work starts at £95, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Hillingdon permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
How pre-move-in cleaning works in Ickenham
Five steps, the same on every UB10 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Ickenham gives us inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls, the reality on the streets around Ickenham village pump 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 Ickenham customers book us
What follows is specific to Ickenham: its walls, its access and the paperwork Hillingdon 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. Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a UB10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Ickenham walls, not generic walls
We expect timber stud partitions inside in UB10, cavity brickwork outside — where 82% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in UB10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in UB10, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — which is why London Borough of Hillingdon 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 Ickenham
Fixed prices for UB10 and the rest of Hillingdon. 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 Ickenham
The same scope across UB10, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Kitchen cupboards, drawers and worktops cleaned inside and out, noted on the Ickenham job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Hillingdon bookings: bathroom, sanitaryware and tiling limescale-treated and disinfected, allowing for the 14% of UB10 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On UB10 jobs: skirting boards, door frames, switches and internal glass throughout, agreed on the doorstep in Ickenham before anything is unpacked
- In Ickenham: floors vacuumed and mopped, ready for furniture the same day, timed against the walk in from Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly)
- A move-in checklist so nothing is missed before keys are handed over, checked on every UB10 visit
Not included
- Removal of rubbish or furniture left behind by a previous occupant — quoted separately as a clearance, and we will say so before the UB10 visit rather than on the day
- External window cleaning or exterior brickwork and render, outside the fixed price on Ickenham bookings
- Carpet and upholstery cleaning unless added to the booking, which we refer on to the right trade in Ickenham
- Repairs, redecoration or making good beyond a clean, handled by London Borough of Hillingdon or a specialist contractor instead

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 →

Ickenham UB10 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Ickenham — the numbers that actually change a pre-move-in cleaning quote.
Census 2021 puts Ickenham at 2,922 households with a median age of 43. The inter-war stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 88% houses and 12% flats need different handling in UB10.
Private renting sits at 14% and owner-occupation at 82%; the first group books pre-move-in cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.
Walls are timber stud partitions inside in UB10, cavity brickwork outside — where 82% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year, so the fixing that matters in Ickenham is chosen on site — the usual failure here is in UB10, a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air — which is why London Borough of Hillingdon kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
Anyone who knows Ickenham knows the pattern near Ickenham village pump: a village green with a pump and pond, surrounded by interwar housing. We plan the UB10 visit around it. Ickenham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, wide roads and long driveways; the village centre is narrow but quiet — 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 Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly).

Common questions
Pre-move-in cleaning in Ickenham UB10 — your questions.
How much does pre-move-in cleaning cost in Ickenham UB10?
Studio or one-bedroom flat starts at £95 in Ickenham, with 23% 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 around Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly). Furniture still in place, or a heavy inherited kitchen, adds time a truly empty property does not need in this 12% flats neighbourhood, with 82% owner-occupation locally.
Can you clean a property in Ickenham on the day of completion?
Yes — completion times move, so for UB10 bookings near Ickenham village pump we hold a flexible same-week slot and confirm the exact time once contracts exchange, rather than a fixed calendar appointment on Hillingdon bookings — and Ickenham village pump a few streets away, with 14% of UB10 homes being privately rented.
Do you clean new-build flats as well as older houses in Hillingdon?
Both. 12% of Ickenham homes are flats and the rest mostly houses; a new-build show kitchen still needs its cupboards and oven cleaned before first use on the Ickenham rounds, with this being London Borough of Hillingdon territory — and 12% of homes here being flats, and an older Ickenham house gets the same room-by-room detail.
Will London Borough of Hillingdon or my managing agent expect proof the property was cleaned before I moved in?
Some Hillingdon managing agents ask new leaseholders for a condition record around Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly). We send photographs of the finished Ickenham UB10 property the same day in Ickenham, with Ickenham village pump a few streets away, which stands as that record.
Are your fitters insured for work in UB10?
Cleaners carry £5m public liability and work to COSHH sheets for every product on Hillingdon bookings, with 82% owner-occupation locally, which is what most managing agents ask for before a first inspection. That paperwork is what most Hillingdon letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat in this 12% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Ickenham (Metropolitan, Piccadilly).
What is not included in pre-move-in cleaning in Ickenham?
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 on Hillingdon bookings — and 88% of Ickenham homes being houses, with this being London Borough of Hillingdon territory. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Ickenham UB10 price you agree is the price you pay on the Ickenham rounds, with a median age of 43 in this neighbourhood.
Who books pre-move-in cleaning in Ickenham UB10 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 14% of Ickenham privately rented and 82% owner-occupied, roughly half the UB10 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Hillingdon — and 14% of UB10 homes being privately rented, with 23% one-person households here.
