The service, locally
Selling in Kensington and Chelsea? present it properly first
Hello Services runs pre-sale cleaning across the London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, covering 11 named areas and every outward code from SW3, SW5, SW7, SW10, W8, W10, W11, W14. We clean properties that are about to be photographed, listed and viewed — not properties that simply need tidying.
Market gardens turned into the Great Exhibition's Albertopolis, then estate-built stucco terraces for the Victorian wealthy. The practical result for a seller is simple: stucco-fronted terraces, mansion flats, mews houses and the lancaster west and world's end estates. photograph well when the glass, worktops and floors are right, and badly when they are not. Access is priced in too — some of the tightest cpzs in london, mews entrances under 2.1m and communal-stair-only access in many mansion blocks.

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.
