Overview
This page prices pre-move-in cleaning for Honor Oak SE23 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 27% privately rented and 3,683 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. Honor Oak Park (Overground) is the nearest station, so a SE23 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, the pattern behind 3,683 households inside the SE23 neighbourhood in SE23, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SE23, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Very steep streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station.
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. |

Scope
I asked Hello Services for a deep clean of the carpets of a house in London we were moving into. Loqman and his colleague arrived on time and were incredibly fast in firstly hoovering all to be worked on and then deep cleaning a total of seven sets of carpets across our first and second… Read in full →
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.

Working in Honor Oak
In Honor Oak (SE23) the split is 54% flats to 46% houses over 3,683 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
The mixed-tenure mix here (53% owned, 27% privately rented) means a SE23 diary swings between short-notice tenancy deadlines and appointments set a fortnight out.
Walls are with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, the pattern behind 3,683 households inside the SE23 neighbourhood, so the fixing that matters in Honor Oak is chosen on site — the usual failure here is a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster in SE23, which crumbles the key and drops the panel, a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Honor Oak 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 — one Tree Hill, a small parade of shops and Victorian terraces on the slope — which is why a SE23 quote is not a Lewisham average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: very steep streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station. Honor Oak Park (Overground) is the nearest station, and one cleaner for a flat; two for a house, so the property is finished in one visit rather than split across a day.

Studio or one-bedroom flat starts at £95 in Honor Oak across SE23, with 30% one-person households here, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked.

Furniture still in place, or a heavy inherited kitchen, adds time a truly empty property does not need for Honor Oak (SE23) addresses, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood.

Both. 54% of Honor Oak homes are flats and the rest mostly houses; a new-build show kitchen still needs its cupboards and oven cleaned before first use for Honor Oak (SE23) addresses, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory — and 20% social-rented stock nearby, and an older Honor Oak house gets the same room-by-room detail.
Some Lewisham managing agents ask new leaseholders for a condition record on this side of Lewisham. We send photographs of the finished Honor Oak SE23 property the same day across SE23, with Lewisham parking rules in play, which stands as that record.
One Tree Hill is the marker we route to on the Honor Oak rounds, with 53% owner-occupation locally, and very steep streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station.
