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. |

Working in Waltham Forest
What our crews walk into in Waltham Forest is two-up two-down victorian terraces, warner half-houses with their own front doors, and 1930s chingford semis, and the mix changes street by street — Chingford (E4), Highams Park (E4) and Leyton (E10) each behave differently on the day.
London Borough of Waltham Forest sets the constraint: extensive low-traffic neighbourhoods with modal filters, seven-day cpzs in e17 and very narrow terraced streets. Locally that means easy access and off-street parking; only station road needs timed loading and level-crossing delays at the station; residential streets are wide and parkable. Waltham Forest sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
London Borough of Waltham Forest tenancies and the local letting agents in Waltham Forest both work to a written check-out standard rather than a general impression of clean. We clean to that list, photograph the finish and re-attend free if the inventory clerk disagrees.
Waltham Forest took its present shape because forest-edge villages that filled with cheap victorian terraces for east-london workers after the 1870s railways.
Scope
Method
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.

Studio or one-bedroom flat starts at £95 in Waltham Forest, and the ladder runs up to £45 for the largest job on the table above. 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: E10, E11, E17 and E4. On the ground that includes Chingford, Highams Park, Leyton, Leytonstone and Walthamstow.
Completion dates move, so we hold flexible same-week slots and can usually confirm the exact time once contracts are exchanged. North London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Extensive low-traffic neighbourhoods with modal filters, seven-day CPZs in E17 and very narrow terraced streets. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Waltham Forest and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Two-up two-down Victorian terraces, Warner half-houses with their own front doors, and 1930s Chingford semis is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Waltham Forest tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
One cleaner for a flat; two for a house, so the property is finished in one visit rather than split across a day. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Waltham Forest postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
Removal of rubbish or furniture left behind by a previous occupant — quoted separately as a clearance, External window cleaning or exterior brickwork and render and Carpet and upholstery cleaning unless added to the booking. If something on that list turns up in Waltham Forest, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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 →
