Overview

Pre-move-in cleaning in Custom House E16, explained

Pre-move-in cleaning in Custom House E16 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Newham, most of them post-war. 3,330 households sit inside this E16 patch, 50% of them flats, so we quote on access near Custom House station and Victoria Dock rather than a London average.

How it works

How pre-move-in cleaning works in Custom House

Five steps, the same on every E16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Custom House gives us council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, and with 24% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is what we plan for here.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Kitchen and bathroom detail

    Cupboards, appliances, tiling and sanitaryware get the time a standard weekly clean never allows.

  4. Step 4

    Final checklist

    Skirting, switches, sills and floors checked room by room against a written list before we sign off.

  5. 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 Custom House customers book us

Four things decide whether a E16 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.

Custom House walls, not generic walls

We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — where 26% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year in E16, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in E16, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — measured on the walk in from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) rather than assumed from a map.

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.

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. Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts.

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. Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a E16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Pre-move-in cleaning prices in Custom House

Fixed prices for E16 and the rest of Newham. 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.
Pre-move-in cleaning price guide for Custom House E16
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Studio or one-bedroom flat£952–3 hrsKitchen, 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£1403–4 hrsTwo bathrooms or an en suite add time, and empty rooms mean skirting and window sills get a proper first-fit clean.
Three-bedroom house£1954–6 hrsMore floor area and usually a garage or utility room that a standard clean would skip.
Four-bedroom house or larger£2606–8 hrsTwo cleaners working room by room so the property is ready before the removal van is booked to arrive.
Oven, hob and extractor add-on£651–2 hrsNew-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£3530–45 minHot-water extraction on the carpets left behind by a previous occupant, before furniture goes down on them.
Internal window and sill clean, whole property£451 hrSills and internal glass throughout, so the light coming into an empty room isn't through someone else's fingerprints.

Prices include VAT with a £95 minimum charge per visit. Properties are cleaned empty wherever possible — furniture in situ takes longer and is quoted on survey. Completion-day bookings are held to the timescale conveyancers actually work to, not a fixed calendar slot.

Scope

What's included in Custom House

The same scope across E16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

  • Kitchen cupboards, drawers and worktops cleaned inside and out, checked on every E16 visit
  • Standard on Newham bookings: bathroom, sanitaryware and tiling limescale-treated and disinfected, with 3,330 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
  • On E16 jobs: skirting boards, door frames, switches and internal glass throughout, local pre-move-in cleaning included
  • In Custom House: floors vacuumed and mopped, ready for furniture the same day, sized for the construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts
  • A move-in checklist so nothing is missed before keys are handed over — including pre-move-in cleaning

Not included

  • Removal of rubbish or furniture left behind by a previous occupant — quoted separately as a clearance, quoted separately if you need it arranged in E16
  • External window cleaning or exterior brickwork and render, which we refer on to the right trade in Custom House
  • Carpet and upholstery cleaning unless added to the booking, and we will say so before the E16 visit rather than on the day
  • Repairs, redecoration or making good beyond a clean, outside the fixed price on Custom House bookings

Custom House E16 at a glance

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Custom House — the numbers that actually change a pre-move-in cleaning quote.

Census 2021 puts Custom House at 3,330 households with a median age of 32.9. The post-war stock is social-housing-led, which is why 50% houses and 50% flats need different handling in E16.

24% of households rent privately and 26% own, which is why pre-move-in cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.

Expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — where 26% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year behind the plaster in E16. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in E16, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — measured on the walk in from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) rather than assumed from a map is the fault we are called back to undo.

Two streets can behave very differently in Custom House: regeneration streets between the docks and Canning Town, transformed by the Elizabeth line. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Custom House is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.

Getting to the door matters as much as the job: construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) 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.

Common questions

Pre-move-in cleaning in Custom House E16 — your questions.

  • How much does pre-move-in cleaning cost in Custom House E16?

    Studio or one-bedroom flat starts at £95 in Custom House on the Custom House rounds, with 50% of Custom House homes being houses, 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 on Newham bookings. Furniture still in place, or a heavy inherited kitchen, adds time a truly empty property does not need in this 50% flats neighbourhood, with 26% owner-occupation locally.

  • Can you clean a property in Custom House on the day of completion?

    Yes — completion times move, so for E16 bookings near Custom House station and Victoria Dock we hold a flexible same-week slot and confirm the exact time once contracts exchange, rather than a fixed calendar appointment on the streets near Custom House station and Victoria Dock — and 49% social-rented stock nearby, with 24% of E16 homes being privately rented.

  • Do you clean new-build flats as well as older houses in Newham?

    Both. 50% of Custom House homes are flats and the rest mostly houses; a new-build show kitchen still needs its cupboards and oven cleaned before first use in this 50% flats neighbourhood — and 3,330 households on this patch, with 50% of homes here being flats, and an older Custom House house gets the same room-by-room detail.

  • Will London Borough of Newham or my managing agent expect proof the property was cleaned before I moved in?

    Some Newham managing agents ask new leaseholders for a condition record on Newham bookings. We send photographs of the finished Custom House E16 property the same day on the Custom House rounds, with Custom House station and Victoria Dock a few streets away, which stands as that record.

  • Who books pre-move-in cleaning in Custom House E16 — tenants, landlords or owners?

    All three. With 24% of Custom House privately rented and 26% owner-occupied, roughly half the E16 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door across E16 — and 49% social-rented stock nearby, with 50% of homes here being flats.

  • How quickly can you reach Custom House from your Newham round?

    Custom House station and Victoria Dock is the marker we route to in Custom House, with this being a short walk from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), and construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. A E16 slot added to an existing Newham round usually lands the same week rather than the next for Custom House (E16) addresses, with 26% owner-occupation locally.

  • Is same-day or evening pre-move-in cleaning available in Newham?

    Completion dates move, so we hold flexible same-week slots and can usually confirm the exact time once contracts are exchanged across E16, with 50% of Custom House homes being houses. Custom House sits close to Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) on the streets near Custom House station and Victoria Dock, with 49% social-rented stock nearby — and 50% of homes here being flats, so we can usually add a E16 job to an existing Newham round at short notice.
