Overview

Spring cleaning in Custom House E16, explained

Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Custom House, spring cleaning here covers supply-free fitting from £145. With 50% of Custom House's 3,330 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in E16 shape the slot length we hold.

How it works

How spring cleaning works in Custom House

Five steps, the same on every E16 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block, as the Custom House stock goes, the reality on the streets around Custom House station and Victoria Dock is what we plan for here.

  1. Step 1

    Agree the task list

    Rooms, cupboard interiors, windows and any add-ons confirmed in writing, so the price and the scope match.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4

    Soft furnishings and glass

    Blinds, poles, upholstery vacuumed and interior glass and frames finished streak-free.

  5. 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 Custom House customers book us

Local knowledge is not a slogan on this page — it is what stops a bracket coming out of a Custom House wall.

Custom House walls, not generic walls

We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Custom House, often with surface conduit — which is what a 50% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Custom House actually produces in E16, 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 — which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.

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.

Crew sized to the job

Two cleaners for a flat, two to three for a house, working together in one visit rather than spreading the job across days. Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts.

Booked around your day

Slots inside the week across every borough, with weekend and evening visits available where a concierge restricts contractor hours. Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) is the nearest station, so a E16 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.

Fixed prices

Spring cleaning prices in Custom House

Fixed prices for E16 and the rest of Newham. 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.
Spring cleaning price guide for Custom House E16
JobFromTypical timeWhat sets the price
Studio or one-bed flat spring clean£1454–5 hrsPriced on rooms and reachable surfaces rather than the clock, so a compact flat is never billed as a house.
Two-bedroom flat or maisonette£1955–7 hrsA second bathroom and more cupboard interiors are what add the hours, not the extra bedroom itself.
Three-bedroom house£2657–9 hrsStairs, a hallway and usually two bathrooms mean a two-cleaner team for most of the day.
Four-bedroom house or larger£3401 dayTwo 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£451–2 hrsSash windows across London terraces come apart to clean properly, which is careful work rather than fast work.
Add oven, extractor and fridge strip-down£751–2 hrsRacks and filters are dip-tanked off site, which is a separate consumable and equipment cost.

Domestic prices are the total you pay, with all materials and equipment brought by the team. Landlord and agent invoices are plus VAT at 20%. Where a permit, bay suspension, ULEZ or the Congestion Charge applies it is itemised in the written quote before the visit is booked.

Scope

What's included in Custom House

The same scope across E16, whether the job is a single item or a full room.

Included in the price

  • On E16 jobs: a written room-by-room task list agreed before the visit, so nothing is assumed, agreed on the doorstep in Custom House before anything is unpacked
  • In Custom House: inside kitchen cupboards and drawers emptied, wiped and relined where you have cleared them, timed against the walk in from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR)
  • Behind and under free-standing appliances and furniture the team can safely move, noted on the Custom House job sheet so the next visit starts from it
  • Standard on Newham bookings: skirting, door frames, switch plates, radiators, picture rails and cornice dusted and washed, allowing for the 24% of E16 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
  • On E16 jobs: limescale removed from taps, shower screens and tiling, with grout scrubbed rather than sprayed, spring cleaning prices included
  • In Custom House: blinds, curtain poles, light fittings and extractor grilles cleaned, and interior windows on request, sized for the construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts

Not included

  • Exterior windows above ground-floor level, which need a reach-and-wash or cradle operator, which we refer on to the right trade in Custom House
  • Clearing and disposing of contents — that is a clearance booking, and we will quote both together, handled by London Borough of Newham or a specialist contractor instead
  • Mould remediation where the cause is structural damp rather than surface condensation, and we will say so before the E16 visit rather than on the day
  • Moving heavy furniture, pianos or safes, and anything that needs two people to lift safely, outside the fixed price on Custom House bookings

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.

Working in Custom House

Custom House E16 at a glance

Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Custom House — the numbers that actually change a spring cleaning quote.

The E16 stock around Custom House station and Victoria Dock is post-war. ONS records 50% flats, 50% houses and 3,330 households in Custom House.

Private renting sits at 24% and owner-occupation at 26%; the first group books spring cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.

Walls are precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Custom House, often with surface conduit — which is what a 50% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Custom House actually produces, so the fixing that matters in Custom House 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 — which is why London Borough of Newham kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.

Two streets can behave very differently in Custom House: regeneration streets between the docks and Canning Town, transformed by the Elizabeth line. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Custom House is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.

Construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Nearest station is Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), and two cleaners for a flat, two to three for a house, working together in one visit rather than spreading the job across days.

Common questions

Spring cleaning in Custom House E16 — your questions.

  • How much does spring cleaning cost in Custom House E16?

    Studio or one-bed flat spring clean starts at £145 in Custom House on E16 jobs, with this being London Borough of Newham territory — and a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. The number of rooms, how many cupboard interiors and windows are in scope on the Custom House rounds, with 50% of homes here being flats — and Newham parking rules in play, and London's hard water — limescale on taps, screens and tiling is the single biggest time cost in a spring clean here.

  • Do you assemble IKEA and other flat-pack furniture in Custom House E16?

    Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions across E16, with Custom House station and Victoria Dock a few streets away. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Custom House most weeks on the Custom House rounds, with 24% of E16 homes being privately rented.

  • How long does flat-pack assembly take in Custom House?

    5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the streets near Custom House station and Victoria Dock, with this being a short walk from Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR).

  • Will a built wardrobe fit through a Custom House doorway?

    That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in around Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR). With 50% of Custom House homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in Custom House, with 26% one-person households here — and Custom House station and Victoria Dock a few streets away, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

  • Who books spring cleaning in Custom House E16 — tenants, landlords or owners?

    All three. With 24% of Custom House privately rented and 26% owner-occupied, roughly half the E16 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on this side of Newham — and 26% one-person households here, with 24% of E16 homes being privately rented.

  • How quickly can you reach Custom House from your Newham round?

    Custom House station and Victoria Dock is the marker we route to around Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR), with Newham parking rules in play, and construction diversions, estate service roads and new blocks with booked lifts. A E16 slot added to an existing Newham round usually lands the same week rather than the next in Custom House, with 50% of homes here being flats.

  • Is same-day or evening spring cleaning available in Newham?

    Slots inside the week across every borough, with this being London Borough of Newham territory, with weekend and evening visits available where a concierge restricts contractor hours on Newham bookings. Custom House sits close to Custom House (Elizabeth line, DLR) on the streets near Custom House station and Victoria Dock, with 50% of homes here being flats — and Custom House station and Victoria Dock a few streets away, so we can usually add a E16 job to an existing Newham round at short notice.
