The service, locally

Regular cleaning in New Cross SE14

Goldsmiths' campus, the Venue and student-heavy Victorian streets. Victorian terraces in shared use, student halls and post-war estates. Lewisham splits 57.7% flats to 42.2% houses, so there is no single answer. Flats here mostly go fortnightly, houses mostly weekly, and we size the visit to the property rather than the postcode.

Who books here: a genuine mix of flats and houses, from first-time renters to families three moves in. Access and parking: September student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets.

Extras (optional — everything else is already included)

£66 a visit

3 hrs at £22/hr · about £286 a month · £624 a year less than monthly rates

  • The default London booking and the one that keeps a home genuinely on top. Nothing builds up between visits, so the same hours buy more rotation work each week.
  • 3 hours is what a 2 bedroom in New Cross realistically needs at this frequency — Two bedrooms made and vacuumed, kitchen and bathroom in full, second WC where fitted, all floors, skirting spot-clean, two rotation tasks.
  • London Borough of Lewisham permits and ULEZ are inside the rate. Lewisham is outside the Congestion Charge zone.
  • No contract and no minimum term. Move or skip any visit with 24 hours' notice.
Book this slot

How a recurring booking runs

Setting up a regular clean in New Cross once, then it just happens

Three steps, and only the first two need you. After that the slot runs itself — the same sequence behind every New Cross SE14 recurring booking we hold.
  1. Tell us the home and the frequencyStudio to five bedrooms, weekly, fortnightly or monthly. We suggest the visit length that actually fits the property rather than selling you the shortest slot.
  2. Meet your cleaner before the first visitOne named cleaner is assigned to your slot. They walk the home with you once, note the things you care about, and that becomes your standing brief.
  3. Agree the every-visit list and the rotationKitchen, bathrooms, floors and beds happen every single time. Everything deeper — oven fronts, inside the fridge, skirtings, windows, wardrobe tops — goes on a rotation so a different deep task is done each visit.

Hourly rates

Regular cleaning rates in New Cross SE14

Priced by the hour against the frequency you choose, not by the property. Products, equipment, insurance, London Borough of Lewisham parking, permits and ULEZ are already inside the rate.

2×/week

£21 /hr

Two shorter visits, usually a Monday and a Thursday. Chosen by busy family houses and shared professional flats where the kitchen and bathrooms need resetting midweek rather than once at the weekend.

Weekly

£22 /hr

The default London booking and the one that keeps a home genuinely on top. Nothing builds up between visits, so the same hours buy more rotation work each week.

Recommended visit lengths and weekly cost for New Cross SE14
Home sizeWeekly visitFortnightly visitWeekly costWhat fits in the visit
Studio2 hrs2.5 hrs£44Kitchen surfaces, hob and sink, shower room descaled, floors throughout, bed changed with your linen, bins out, one rotation task.
1 bedroom2.5 hrs3 hrs£55Full kitchen and bathroom, living room and bedroom dusted and vacuumed, hallway floor, mirrors and glass, bins, one to two rotation tasks.

All rates are in GBP and are the price you pay, with products, equipment, insurance, parking, permits and ULEZ already inside them. Regular domestic cleaning in an occupied home is supplied VAT-free where the cleaner is self-employed; landlord, managing-agent and company-invoiced contracts are quoted plus VAT at 20%.

The standing brief

Every visit, plus one deeper task on rotation

This is the standing brief your New Cross SE14 cleaner works from. The left column happens on every single visit; the right rotates one task per visit so the whole home is properly covered across a quarter.

Every single visit

Done every time in New Cross SE14

  • Kitchen worktops, sink and hobCleared, degreased and dried. Splashback and tap descaled, hob and control knobs wiped, sink polished and the drainer emptied.
  • Appliance fronts and handlesOven door, hob surround, fridge, dishwasher and microwave outside and inside the door — the greasy edges a rushed clean skips.

One per visit, on rotation

The deeper task that changes each week

  1. Skirting boards and door framesWiped by hand along one floor of the property, plus the scuff line behind doors.
  2. Inside the fridgeShelves and drawers out, washed and dried, seals cleaned and out-of-date items flagged rather than binned.

Ten rotation tasks, one per visit — a weekly booking works through the whole list roughly every ten weeks, a fortnightly one across five months. You can pin a task to the top of the rotation whenever you like.

What a routine visit does not cover

  • Inside the oven — booked as an add-on or as a quarterly one-off, because it takes an hour on its own.
  • Exterior windows above ground floor, which need reach-and-wash equipment and a separate visit.

Why Hello Services

What a regular cleaner in New Cross actually gets you

One cleaner, not a rota

The same named person every visit, working in New Cross already so travel is short and the slot is reliable on SE14 jobs, with 33% one-person households here. You meet them before the first clean and they keep your brief on this side of Lewisham.

Every-visit list plus a rotation

Kitchen, bathrooms, floors, beds and bins happen every single time on SE14 jobs. One deeper task — skirtings, inside the fridge, cupboard fronts, limescale — rotates through on the streets near Goldsmiths, University of London, with this being a short walk from New Cross (Overground, Southeastern), so the whole home is properly done across a quarter.

Extras and local detail

What is included in New Cross SE14

Most of what people expect to pay extra for is already inside the hourly rate. The handful of genuine add-ons are priced here so nothing arrives as a surprise on the invoice.
Regular cleaning extras and inclusions in New Cross SE14
ExtraCostTimeDetail
Ironing£22+60 minCharged at the same hourly rate as the clean. A standard basket is about an hour; tell us at booking so the slot is long enough rather than eating the clean.
The same cleaner, the same slot
Your New Cross visit is assigned to one cleaner who lives or already works in Lewisham, so travel is short and the slot holds week after week. You meet them before the first clean.
Parking and permits
September student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets. Any London Borough of Lewisham permit or visitor bay is arranged and paid for by us and never appears on your invoice.
Congestion Charge
Lewisham is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is nothing to absorb and nothing to pass on.
ULEZ
Every Hello Services vehicle is ULEZ-compliant. Most regular cleaners in this area travel by public transport anyway, which is why the slot times are so reliable.
Getting in when you are out
Most regular customers here leave a key in a key safe or with us. Keys are coded, never address-labelled, and returned the day you stop.
Stairs and machines
Lift or ground-floor access at most addresses here, so full-size equipment comes to the door.
Changing or skipping a visit
Move, shorten or skip any visit with 24 hours' notice at no charge. Holidays are simply paused — there is no minimum term and no cancellation fee.
Hard water
Every London borough is in a hard-water area. Descaler on taps, screens and kettle is part of the weekly routine here rather than an occasional extra.

This housing stock

What New Cross homes need week after week

Victorian terraces in shared use, student halls and post-war estates. That stock decides what a recurring visit has to do here week after week, so this is what your cleaner's routine is built around.

Hard water, every week

London sits on chalk and Lewisham is no exception. Taps, shower screens and kettles scale within days here, so descaler is part of the weekly routine and a full limescale pass comes round on the rotation.

Diana and Alex This was a very thorough clean of a large house which would have taken a lot of work. House looks nice and new now. Would use again.

Cosmina and Gabriela turned up right on time to clean 4 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, kitchen and dining room. They were friendly, quick and thorough.

Had an above and beyond experience with our cleaners, Diana and Alex. They were honest, professional, friendly, and did an amazing job with what they were tasked with.
