Lambeth · SE11 · Spring cleaning
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Oval fitters · Fixed written pricesOval SE11 is a regular stop on our Lambeth round. The cricket ground, the gasholders and Georgian terraces running back towards Kennington Park, so spring cleaning here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £145, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Oval, spring cleaning here covers supply-free fitting from £145. With 77% of Oval's 3,633 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE11 shape the slot length we hold.
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
Two cleaners for a flat, two to three for a house, working together in one visit rather than spreading the job across days. Match-day road closures around the ground, red routes on Kennington Park Road and permit-only side streets.
Slots inside the week across every borough, with weekend and evening visits available where a concierge restricts contractor hours. Oval (Northern) is the nearest station, so a SE11 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Oval, often with surface conduit — and with 34% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SE11, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — measured on the walk in from Oval (Northern) rather than assumed from a map.
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
| 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.

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 Oval
Census 2021 puts Oval at 3,633 households with a median age of 32.5. The Georgian and early Victorian stock is social-housing-led, which is why 23% houses and 77% flats need different handling in SE11.
Owner-occupation runs at 28% in Oval, so alongside the 34% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Oval, often with surface conduit — and with 34% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does, so the fixing that matters in Oval is chosen on site — the usual failure here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — measured on the walk in from Oval (Northern) rather than assumed from a map.
Anyone who knows Oval knows the pattern near The Kia Oval cricket ground: the cricket ground, the gasholders and Georgian terraces running back towards Kennington Park. We plan the SE11 visit around it. Oval sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: match-day road closures around the ground, red routes on Kennington Park Road and permit-only side streets. Oval (Northern) 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.
