Overview
Spring cleaning in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley BR5, explained
Spring cleaning in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley BR5 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Bromley, most of them mainly Victorian. 10,135 households sit inside this BR5 patch, 23% of them flats, so we quote on access near The River Cray and Nugent Shopping Park rather than a London average.
How it works
How spring cleaning works in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley
Five steps, the same on every BR5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. St Mary Cray and Cray Valley gives us council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, the reality on the streets around The River Cray and Nugent Shopping Park is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Agree the task list
Rooms, cupboard interiors, windows and any add-ons confirmed in writing, so the price and the scope match.
Step 2
Top-down, room by room
Cornice and light fittings first, then walls and joinery, then furniture, then floors — nothing lands on a surface already cleaned.
Step 3
Kitchen and bathroom detail
Cupboard interiors, appliance seals, grout, taps and shower screens descaled, which is where a London hard-water property shows its age.
Step 4
Soft furnishings and glass
Blinds, poles, upholstery vacuumed and interior glass and frames finished streak-free.
Step 5
Walk-through before we leave
You check the list with the team leader and anything not right is redone on the spot.
Why choose us
Why St Mary Cray and Cray Valley customers book us
Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a St Mary Cray and Cray Valley wall.
Booked around your day
Slots inside the week across every borough, with weekend and evening visits available where a concierge restricts contractor hours. St Mary Cray (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
St Mary Cray and Cray Valley walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit — and precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — and with 13% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in BR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in BR5, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — and with 29% one-person households in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
Insured and documented
Employed, DBS-checked cleaners with £5m public liability cover, COSHH data sheets carried for every product and a public liability certificate supplied to the managing agent before a communal area or goods lift is used.
Fixed prices
Spring cleaning prices in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley
Fixed prices for BR5 and the rest of Bromley. The number of rooms, how many cupboard interiors and windows are in scope, and London's hard water — limescale on taps, screens and tiling is the single biggest time cost in a spring clean here.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bed flat spring clean | £145 | 4–5 hrs | Priced on rooms and reachable surfaces rather than the clock, so a compact flat is never billed as a house. |
| Two-bedroom flat or maisonette | £195 | 5–7 hrs | A second bathroom and more cupboard interiors are what add the hours, not the extra bedroom itself. |
| Three-bedroom house | £265 | 7–9 hrs | Stairs, a hallway and usually two bathrooms mean a two-cleaner team for most of the day. |
| Four-bedroom house or larger | £340 | 1 day | Two or three cleaners on site together, because a spring clean loses its point if it is spread over two visits. |
| Add interior windows and frames | £45 | 1–2 hrs | Sash windows across London terraces come apart to clean properly, which is careful work rather than fast work. |
| Add oven, extractor and fridge strip-down | £75 | 1–2 hrs | Racks and filters are dip-tanked off site, which is a separate consumable and equipment cost. |

Scope
What's included in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley
The same scope across BR5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- A written room-by-room task list agreed before the visit, so nothing is assumed, noted on the St Mary Cray and Cray Valley job sheet so the next visit starts from it
- Standard on Bromley bookings: inside kitchen cupboards and drawers emptied, wiped and relined where you have cleared them, allowing for the 13% of BR5 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- On BR5 jobs: behind and under free-standing appliances and furniture the team can safely move, agreed on the doorstep in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley before anything is unpacked
- In St Mary Cray and Cray Valley: skirting, door frames, switch plates, radiators, picture rails and cornice dusted and washed, timed against the walk in from St Mary Cray (Southeastern)
- Limescale removed from taps, shower screens and tiling, with grout scrubbed rather than sprayed, checked on every BR5 visit
- Standard on Bromley bookings: blinds, curtain poles, light fittings and extractor grilles cleaned, and interior windows on request, with 10,135 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
Not included
- Exterior windows above ground-floor level, which need a reach-and-wash or cradle operator, handled by London Borough of Bromley or a specialist contractor instead
- Clearing and disposing of contents — that is a clearance booking, and we will quote both together, and we will say so before the BR5 visit rather than on the day
- Mould remediation where the cause is structural damp rather than surface condensation, quoted separately if you need it arranged in BR5
- Moving heavy furniture, pianos or safes, and anything that needs two people to lift safely, which we refer on to the right trade in St Mary Cray and Cray Valley

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.
