Overview
Spring cleaning in Westminster and Whitehall SW1, explained

How it works
How spring cleaning works in Westminster and Whitehall
Five steps, the same on every SW1 job, so you know what happens before you commit. New-build and conversion flats lined with dot-and-dab plasterboard, as the Westminster and Whitehall stock goes, where 28% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year 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 Westminster and Whitehall customers book us
Four things decide whether a SW1 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. Westminster (Circle, District, Jubilee) is the nearest station, so a SW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Westminster and Whitehall walls, not generic walls
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SW1, with metal stud partitions between rooms — and with 44% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in SW1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs on these streets — measured on the walk in from Westminster (Circle, District, Jubilee) 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 Westminster and Whitehall
Fixed prices for SW1 and the rest of Westminster. 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 Westminster and Whitehall
The same scope across SW1, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- On SW1 jobs: a written room-by-room task list agreed before the visit, so nothing is assumed, spring cleaning london included
- In Westminster and Whitehall: inside kitchen cupboards and drawers emptied, wiped and relined where you have cleared them, sized for the security cordons, camera-controlled streets and pre-notified vehicle access on many roads
- Behind and under free-standing appliances and furniture the team can safely move, checked on every SW1 visit
- Standard on Westminster bookings: skirting, door frames, switch plates, radiators, picture rails and cornice dusted and washed, with 3,927 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- On SW1 jobs: limescale removed from taps, shower screens and tiling, with grout scrubbed rather than sprayed, agreed on the doorstep in Westminster and Whitehall before anything is unpacked
- In Westminster and Whitehall: blinds, curtain poles, light fittings and extractor grilles cleaned, and interior windows on request, timed against the walk in from Westminster (Circle, District, Jubilee)
Not included
- Exterior windows above ground-floor level, which need a reach-and-wash or cradle operator, and we will say so before the SW1 visit rather than on the day
- Clearing and disposing of contents — that is a clearance booking, and we will quote both together, outside the fixed price on Westminster and Whitehall bookings
- Mould remediation where the cause is structural damp rather than surface condensation, quoted separately if you need it arranged in SW1
- Moving heavy furniture, pianos or safes, and anything that needs two people to lift safely, which we refer on to the right trade in Westminster and Whitehall

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 number of rooms, how many cupboard interiors and windows are in scope in this 95% flats neighbourhood, with 44% of SW1 homes being privately rented — and 46% 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 Westminster and Whitehall SW1?
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions on SW1 jobs, with this being Westminster City Council territory. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Westminster and Whitehall most weeks on the streets near The Palace of Westminster, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
How long does flat-pack assembly take in Westminster and Whitehall?
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across SW1, with 46% one-person households here.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Westminster and Whitehall doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the Westminster and Whitehall rounds. With 95% of Westminster and Whitehall homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on SW1 jobs, with 5% of Westminster and Whitehall homes being houses, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.

Westminster and Whitehall sits close to Westminster (Circle, District, Jubilee) in this 95% flats neighbourhood, with 95% of homes here being flats — and Westminster parking rules in play, so we can usually add a SW1 job to an existing Westminster round at short notice.
Do you handle difficult access in Westminster and Whitehall?
Security cordons, camera-controlled streets and pre-notified vehicle access on many roads on the Westminster and Whitehall rounds.

Are your fitters insured for work in SW1?
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 on this side of Westminster — and 29% social-rented stock nearby, with 44% of SW1 homes being privately rented. That paperwork is what most Westminster letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat across SW1, with The Palace of Westminster a few streets away.
