Pre-Sale Cleaning in London before the photographs

A presentation clean built around how a London property is judged — portal thumbnails first, then ten seconds in the hallway, then the kitchen and the bathroom. We clean in that order, time it to your photography day, and finish with a styling tidy so the listing looks like the best version of the property you already own.

Why sellers book it

The clean that changes what buyers offer

Presentation is the cheapest lever a vendor has. It costs a few hundred pounds and it removes the visible reasons a buyer gives themselves for offering under asking.

Photographs sell the viewing

Portal thumbnails are how a London buyer decides whether to book. Clean glass, clear worktops and lifted traffic lanes change how bright and how large a room photographs — before anyone stages a single cushion.

Presentation is priced into offers

Limescale, grease film and pet odour read as deferred maintenance, and buyers deduct for them far more heavily than the clean would ever cost. Removing them removes the excuse for a reduction.

Timed around the agent, not the diary

We book to your photography slot, first open house or valuation, including early mornings and weekends, so the property peaks on the day it matters rather than three days before.

One team, one fixed price

DBS-checked cleaners, £1m public liability, parking, permits and ULEZ inside the price, and a 72-hour promise: if we missed something, we come back free.

Where the hours go

Cleaned in the order buyers judge

A viewer forms a verdict long before the second bedroom. These six things carry it, so this is where the time is spent.

Front door and hallway

The first ten seconds of a viewing. Door furniture polished, glass in the door cleaned both sides, hallway floor edged by hand, coats and shoes cleared to make the space read wider than it is.

Kitchen

Worktops, splashbacks, cupboard fronts, handles, extractor and the oven interior. Grease film flattens light in photographs; removing it is what makes a kitchen look newer than it is.

Bathrooms and en-suites

Limescale off screens, taps and tiles, grout brightened, silicone treated for mould and chrome polished. Buyers price a tired bathroom into their offer.

Windows and light

Glass, frames, cills, tracks and trickle vents inside, plus external glass as an add-on. Every agent photograph is a light photograph.

Floors and traffic lanes

Correct product for the finish, edges by hand, and extraction on carpets to lift traffic lanes and the dark edging along skirtings.

Smell

Bins, drains, waste traps, soft furnishings and pet areas treated at source. Air freshener over an odour reads as a hidden problem.

Fixed prices

London pre-sale cleaning prices by property size

Two tiers. The photo-ready presentation clean gets the property to photograph condition; the full pre-sale reset does that and everything behind it, for a property that has not had a deep clean in a while.

External window and frame clean — £75 per property

Reach-and-wash on glass, frames, cills and reveals to third floor. The single biggest change to how bright a listing photograph looks.

Carpet and upholstery extraction — £55 per room

Hot-water extraction that lifts traffic lanes, pet odour and the dark edging along skirtings that buyers read as wear.

Kerb appeal wash-down — £95 per property

Front path, steps, bin store, front door, porch tiles and railings jet-washed and wiped — the first photograph and the first viewing both start here.

Declutter and staging tidy — £90 per half day

Surfaces cleared to a photography standard, personal items boxed and stored neatly, wardrobes and worktops presented as space rather than storage.

Removal of unwanted items — £90 per van load

Furniture, garden waste and general clutter taken away under our upper-tier waste carrier registration with a transfer note.

Odour and pet treatment — £65 per property

Enzyme treatment and air scrubbing for smoke, damp, cooking and pet odour. Viewers form a verdict on smell before they reach the living room.

Viewing-day touch-up visit — £85 per visit

A short pass on the morning of an open house or a valuation — glass, kitchen, bathroom and floors put back to photograph condition.

Choosing the right clean

Pre-sale clean or deep clean?

Same cleaners, different brief. If the property is being listed, book pre-sale. If you are staying in it, book the deep clean.

How it runs

From listing date to sold board

  1. Tell us the listing date, not just the bedroomsPhotography day, first open house and completion are three different jobs. Give us the date the photographer arrives and we work backwards from it.
  2. Get a fixed price in about a minuteChoose the property size and the tier — photo-ready presentation or the full pre-sale reset — and the price on screen is the price on the day, with parking, permits and ULEZ already inside it.
  3. The presentation clean, in buyer orderA DBS-checked team works the rooms in the order buyers judge them: entrance, kitchen, bathrooms, light, floors and odour, top down, with the styling tidy last.
  4. Photography-day check and touch-upWe can hold a short visit for the morning of the shoot or the open house so glass, worktops and floors are put back to photograph condition after a week of living in the property.
  5. Walk-round, snag sheet and the 72-hour promiseWe walk the property with you before we leave. If anything is missed, tell us within 72 hours and we come back and put it right free of charge.

I booked the one off deep cleaning service with Hello Services and I’m very satisfied with how it turned out.

They followed their job order well, and true to their promise of a quick but quality deep-clean of the flat. I will definitely recommend this company, and specifically Cosmina to be their cleaner.
