The service, locally

Selling in South Kensington? present it properly first

South Kensington pre-sale cleaning, SW7. Two tiers — a photo-ready presentation clean before the shoot and a full pre-sale reset before the market sees it — across SW7 and the neighbouring Kensington and Chelsea streets on Kensington and Chelsea bookings — and 14% of South Kensington homes being houses, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory.

Grand stucco terraces in lateral flats, mansion blocks and embassy buildings on the South Kensington rounds. That is what our South Kensington teams walk into on SW7 jobs — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, with 54% of SW7 homes being privately rented, and it decides the order of work: light and glass first on flats, entrance and floors first on houses.

Why sellers book it

What a pre-sale clean in South Kensington actually buys you

  • Photographs sell the viewing

  • Presentation is priced into offers

  • Timed around the agent, not the diary

  • One team, one fixed price

Each of these is explained in full on the London pre-sale cleaning hub.

In buyer order

The rooms a buyer judges and the order we clean them

9% of Kensington and Chelsea homes are flats on the South Kensington rounds, with this being Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea territory, so most South Kensington sales are judged on light and on the communal approach. We clean internal glass, frames and tracks first, wipe the entrance door and the inside of the letterbox on Kensington and Chelsea bookings — and Kensington and Chelsea parking rules in play, with 86% of homes here being flats, and lift the traffic lane from the hallway carpet — the three things that make a SW7 flat photograph brighter than the one listed next door.

Not the same job

Pre-sale clean or deep clean which one you need

Not selling yet? One-off deep cleaning in London is the right service, and end of tenancy cleaning covers a let coming to an end.

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.
