Overview

How it works
Step 1
Rooms, cupboard interiors, windows and any add-ons confirmed in writing, so the price and the scope match.
Step 2
Cornice and light fittings first, then walls and joinery, then furniture, then floors — nothing lands on a surface already cleaned.
Step 3
Cupboard interiors, appliance seals, grout, taps and shower screens descaled, which is where a London hard-water property shows its age.
Step 4
Blinds, poles, upholstery vacuumed and interior glass and frames finished streak-free.
Step 5
You check the list with the team leader and anything not right is redone on the spot.
Why choose us
Slots inside the week across every borough, with weekend and evening visits available where a concierge restricts contractor hours. Sanderstead (Southern) is the nearest station, so a CR2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, which is what a 15% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Sanderstead actually produces in CR2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Sanderstead gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, where 88% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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.
Two cleaners for a flat, two to three for a house, working together in one visit rather than spreading the job across days. Wide suburban roads and driveways; only the hill approaches are tight.
Fixed prices
| 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
I asked Hello Services for a deep clean of the carpets of a house in London we were moving into. Loqman and his colleague arrived on time and were incredibly fast in firstly hoovering all to be worked on and then deep cleaning a total of seven sets of carpets across our first and second… Read in full →
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. Ana was a pleasure to deal with, very communicative and personable. They did a great job, and the new buyers and I were pleased with the result. Thanks… Read in full →
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. The only downside was the office and booking system. The poor couple had to travel from Wimbledon to sidcup after waiting for the previous client to attend and… Read in full →

Working in Sanderstead
Sanderstead CR2 is inter-war and owner-occupier-led: 15% of homes here are flats and 85% are houses, across 3,008 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 10% of Sanderstead is privately rented and 2% socially rented, a lot of CR2 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Walls are some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick, which is what a 15% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Sanderstead actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Sanderstead is chosen on site — the usual failure here is Sanderstead gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, where 88% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Sanderstead is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — hilltop village with a green, a church and wide views over the downs — which is why a CR2 quote is not a Croydon average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: wide suburban roads and driveways; only the hill approaches are tight. Sanderstead (Southern) is the nearest station, and two cleaners for a flat, two to three for a house, working together in one visit rather than spreading the job across days.
