Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Battersea fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide pre-move-in cleaning in Battersea SW11 for houses and flats around Battersea Power Station. From £95, quoted in writing before the visit, with one cleaner for a flat; two for a house, so the property is finished in one visit rather than split across a day Each room is cleaned empty, from the top down, in the property you are about to move into.
Overview
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Battersea Power Station, pre-move-in cleaning here covers supply-free fitting from £95. With 87% of Battersea's 6,832 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SW11 shape the slot length we hold.
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. Battersea Power Station (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SW11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SW11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Battersea stock goes, which is what a 87% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Battersea actually produces.
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. Estate loading docks booked in advance, Nine Elms construction diversions and tight terraced streets.
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 Battersea
In Battersea (SW11) the split is 87% flats to 13% houses over 6,832 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
With 33% private renting against 38% owner-occupied, most SW11 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork; locally that also means with metal stud partitions between rooms, which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in SW11. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Battersea stock goes, which is what a 87% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Battersea actually produces is the fault we are called back to undo.
Battersea 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 — the rebuilt power station, riverside towers and Victorian streets around the park — which is why a SW11 quote is not a Wandsworth average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: estate loading docks booked in advance, Nine Elms construction diversions and tight terraced streets. Battersea Power Station (Northern) 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 Battersea on Wandsworth bookings, with 6,832 households on this patch, 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 in Battersea. Furniture still in place, or a heavy inherited kitchen, adds time a truly empty property does not need on this side of Wandsworth, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory.
Yes — completion times move, so for SW11 bookings near Battersea Power Station we hold a flexible same-week slot and confirm the exact time once contracts exchange, rather than a fixed calendar appointment on the Battersea rounds — and 28% social-rented stock nearby, with this being a short walk from Battersea Power Station (Northern).
Both. 87% of Battersea homes are flats and the rest mostly houses; a new-build show kitchen still needs its cupboards and oven cleaned before first use around Battersea Power Station (Northern), with Wandsworth parking rules in play — and this being a short walk from Battersea Power Station (Northern), and an older Battersea house gets the same room-by-room detail.
Some Wandsworth managing agents ask new leaseholders for a condition record in this 87% flats neighbourhood. We send photographs of the finished Battersea SW11 property the same day for Battersea (SW11) addresses, with 87% of homes here being flats, which stands as that record.
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 on SW11 jobs — and Battersea Power Station a few streets away, with this being London Borough of Wandsworth territory. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Battersea SW11 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Battersea Power Station, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
All three. With 33% of Battersea privately rented and 38% owner-occupied, roughly half the SW11 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Wandsworth bookings — and 38% owner-occupation locally, with 87% of homes here being flats.
Battersea Power Station is the marker we route to on SW11 jobs, with 6,832 households on this patch, and estate loading docks booked in advance, Nine Elms construction diversions and tight terraced streets. A SW11 slot added to an existing Wandsworth round usually lands the same week rather than the next around Battersea Power Station (Northern), with 34% one-person households here.
