Overview
This page prices pre-move-in cleaning for Bellingham and Downham SE6 specifically: post-war stock, 22% privately rented and 3,351 households in total. Work starts at £95, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lewisham permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
How it works
Step 1
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
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
Cupboards, appliances, tiling and sanitaryware get the time a standard weekly clean never allows.
Step 4
Skirting, switches, sills and floors checked room by room against a written list before we sign off.
Step 5
Photos of the finished property sent the same day, so you have a record of the condition you moved into.
Why choose us
Completion dates move, so we hold flexible same-week slots and can usually confirm the exact time once contracts are exchanged. Bellingham (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE6 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the pattern behind 3,351 households inside the SE6 neighbourhood in SE6, 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, as the Bellingham and Downham stock goes, and with 22% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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.
One cleaner for a flat; two for a house, so the property is finished in one visit rather than split across a day. Wide estate roads with kerbside parking and level access — easy for a Luton.
Fixed prices
| 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.

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.

Working in Bellingham and Downham
3,351 households sit inside the SE6 neighbourhood covering Bellingham and Downham. The build is post-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 32% of those homes are flats.
Because 22% of Bellingham and Downham is privately rented and 33% socially rented, a lot of SE6 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, the pattern behind 3,351 households inside the SE6 neighbourhood behind the plaster in SE6. 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, as the Bellingham and Downham stock goes, and with 22% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
Bellingham and Downham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — two large interwar cottage estates built by the LCC, with wide green verges — which is why a SE6 quote is not a Lewisham average.
Wide estate roads with kerbside parking and level access — easy for a Luton. Nearest station is Bellingham (Southeastern), and one cleaner for a flat; two for a house, so the property is finished in one visit rather than split across a day.
