Southwark · SE15 · Pre-move-in cleaning
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Nunhead fitters · Fixed written pricesLooking for pre-move-in cleaning in Nunhead SE15? We work in Nunhead most weeks — cemetery, hill views and a quiet village green between Peckham and Brockley — and price pre-move-in cleaning against that reality rather than a London average. Fixed written quote from £95, insured cleaners, every cupboard and appliance cleaned inside, and the property ready before the van arrives.
Overview
This page prices pre-move-in cleaning for Nunhead SE15 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 20% privately rented and 7,127 households in total. Work starts at £95, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Southwark 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. Nunhead (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Nunhead, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Southwark kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SE15, 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 Nunhead stock goes, and with 20% 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. Steep hill 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. 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 →

Working in Nunhead
In Nunhead (SE15) the split is 58% flats to 42% houses over 7,127 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 20% of Nunhead is privately rented and 39% socially rented, a lot of SE15 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Nunhead, often with surface conduit, which is why London Borough of Southwark kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in SE15. 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 Nunhead stock goes, and with 20% 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.
Nunhead sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — cemetery, hill views and a quiet village green between Peckham and Brockley — which is why a SE15 quote is not a Southwark average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: steep hill streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station. Nunhead (Southeastern) 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 Nunhead on the Nunhead rounds, with 39% social-rented stock nearby, 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 SE15 jobs. Furniture still in place, or a heavy inherited kitchen, adds time a truly empty property does not need in this 58% flats neighbourhood, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
Yes — completion times move, so for SE15 bookings near Nunhead Cemetery we hold a flexible same-week slot and confirm the exact time once contracts exchange, rather than a fixed calendar appointment on SE15 jobs, with 41% owner-occupation locally — and 30% one-person households here.
Both. 58% of Nunhead homes are flats and the rest mostly houses; a new-build show kitchen still needs its cupboards and oven cleaned before first use in Nunhead — and a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, with Nunhead Cemetery a few streets away, and an older Nunhead house gets the same room-by-room detail.
Some Southwark managing agents ask new leaseholders for a condition record on Southwark bookings. We send photographs of the finished Nunhead SE15 property the same day on the streets near Nunhead Cemetery, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory, which stands as that record.
Steep hill streets, narrow railway bridges and permit bays near the station around Nunhead (Southeastern).

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 around Nunhead (Southeastern) — and 20% of SE15 homes being privately rented, with 39% social-rented stock nearby.
