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. Narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton.

Overview
Spring cleaning in East Dulwich SE22, explained
Spring cleaning in East Dulwich SE22 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Southwark, most of them mainly Victorian. 3,337 households sit inside this SE22 patch, 43% of them flats, so we quote on access near Dulwich Park rather than a London average.
How it works
How spring cleaning works in East Dulwich
Five steps, the same on every SE22 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Terraced houses with solid London stock brick and later plasterboard linings, as the East Dulwich stock goes, the reality on the streets around Dulwich 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 East Dulwich customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE22 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Booked around your day
Slots inside the week across every borough, with weekend and evening visits available where a concierge restricts contractor hours. East Dulwich (Thameslink) is the nearest station, so a SE22 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
East Dulwich walls, not generic walls
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — which is what a 43% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering East Dulwich actually produces in SE22, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — measured on the walk in from East Dulwich (Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map.
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 East Dulwich
Fixed prices for SE22 and the rest of Southwark. 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 East Dulwich
The same scope across SE22, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SE22 jobs: a written room-by-room task list agreed before the visit, so nothing is assumed, with 43% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- In East Dulwich: inside kitchen cupboards and drawers emptied, wiped and relined where you have cleared them, the way it is done on East Dulwich jobs
- Behind and under free-standing appliances and furniture the team can safely move — including spring cleaning prices
- Standard on Southwark bookings: skirting, door frames, switch plates, radiators, picture rails and cornice dusted and washed, arranged with London Borough of Southwark where the kerb needs it
- On SE22 jobs: limescale removed from taps, shower screens and tiling, with grout scrubbed rather than sprayed, spring cleaning included
- In East Dulwich: blinds, curtain poles, light fittings and extractor grilles cleaned, and interior windows on request, sized for the narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a luton
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 East Dulwich
- Clearing and disposing of contents — that is a clearance booking, and we will quote both together, handled by London Borough of Southwark or a specialist contractor instead
- Mould remediation where the cause is structural damp rather than surface condensation, and we will say so before the SE22 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 East Dulwich 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 East Dulwich
East Dulwich SE22 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers East Dulwich — the numbers that actually change a spring cleaning quote.
Walk East Dulwich from Dulwich Park outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 43% of the 3,337 households in SE22 live in flats, 57% in houses.
Owner-occupation runs at 58% in East Dulwich, so alongside the 25% rental churn there is steady planned work — refurbishments, downsizes and probate clearances booked weeks ahead.
Walls are solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — which is what a 43% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering East Dulwich actually produces, so the fixing that matters in East Dulwich is chosen on site — the usual failure here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — measured on the walk in from East Dulwich (Thameslink) rather than assumed from a map.
Anyone who knows East Dulwich knows the pattern near Dulwich Park: lordship Lane's shops and rows of bay-fronted Victorian family houses. We plan the SE22 visit around it. East Dulwich 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: narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton. East Dulwich (Thameslink) 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.

Common questions
Spring cleaning in East Dulwich SE22 — your questions.
How much does spring cleaning cost in East Dulwich SE22?
Studio or one-bed flat spring clean starts at £145 in East Dulwich on the East Dulwich rounds, with 58% owner-occupation locally — and 25% of SE22 homes being privately rented, 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 across SE22, with this being a short walk from East Dulwich (Thameslink) — and 26% one-person households here, 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 East Dulwich SE22?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions around East Dulwich (Thameslink), with this being London Borough of Southwark territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in East Dulwich most weeks, with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in East Dulwich?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across SE22, with this being a short walk from East Dulwich (Thameslink).
Will a built wardrobe fit through a East Dulwich doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on SE22 jobs. With 43% of East Dulwich homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm around East Dulwich (Thameslink) — and 57% of East Dulwich homes being houses, with Dulwich Park a few streets away, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Who books spring cleaning in East Dulwich SE22 — tenants, landlords or owners?
All three. With 25% of East Dulwich privately rented and 58% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE22 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Southwark bookings — and Dulwich Park a few streets away, with 25% of SE22 homes being privately rented.
How quickly can you reach East Dulwich from your Southwark round?
Dulwich Park is the marker we route to on the East Dulwich rounds, with Southwark parking rules in play, and narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton. A SE22 slot added to an existing Southwark round usually lands the same week rather than the next on SE22 jobs, with 43% of homes here being flats.
Is same-day or evening spring cleaning available in Southwark?
Slots inside the week across every borough, with 25% of SE22 homes being privately rented, with weekend and evening visits available where a concierge restricts contractor hours in this 43% flats neighbourhood. East Dulwich sits close to East Dulwich (Thameslink) on this side of Southwark, with Dulwich Park a few streets away, so we can usually add a SE22 job to an existing Southwark round at short notice.
