What affects the price in Lee?

Prices for move in cleaning in Lee are fixed by the size of the job, so you know the cost before we arrive. The main factors are the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and any extras you add such as carpet cleaning, an oven clean or key collection.

Homes here are mostly Victorian and Edwardian conversions, maisonettes and purpose-built flats, so it is worth telling us about features such as period skirting, sash windows and original tiled floors in your booking notes. If a property is much larger or in a very different condition from the description, we will always talk to you before changing anything.

Move In Cleaning across Lee: local guide

Lee is in inner London — around 6.8 miles from the West End — with homes across SE12. Victorian and Edwardian houses in Brockley and Forest Hill and new-build flats around Lewisham and Deptford.

Most of our move in cleaning bookings in Lee are Victorian and Edwardian conversions, maisonettes and purpose-built flats. We plan around controlled parking zones and shared entrances, and give extra time to period skirting, sash windows and original tiled floors.

We also cover the streets and neighbourhoods around Lee, including Hither Green, Blackheath, Lewisham Centre, Kidbrooke, Ladywell and Catford. The same fixed prices apply across all of them.

Homes we clean in Lee

In Lee you will find Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats, alongside purpose-built blocks and newer infill developments. Period features such as sash windows, cornicing and tiled hallways look beautiful but gather dust and grime, so they are built into our checklist rather than left as an afterthought.

We cover every part of Lee including the SE12 postcode areas, plus Hither Green, Blackheath and Lewisham Centre. Morning, midday and afternoon arrival windows are available seven days a week.

Team-lead inspectionBefore leaving, the team lead checks every room and photographs the finish so you have a record.
72-hour guaranteeIf your agent or landlord raises a cleaning issue within 72 hours, we return and put it right free of charge.

How to prepare for your clean

Remove all your belongings and furniture you are taking before we arrive.
Make sure electricity and hot water are on, as we need both.
Defrost the freezer the day before if possible.
Tell us about parking permits or restrictions on your street.
Keep your check-in inventory handy to compare with the finished property.
Book the clean for the day before your check-out, so any feedback can be fixed in time.

When to book move in cleaning in Lee

Book your move in cleaning for the day before your check-out inspection. That leaves time for any agent feedback to be fixed under our 72-hour guarantee, and means the property is empty so every cupboard and floor can be reached. The end and start of each month are the busiest times in Lee, as most tenancies change over then — booking a week or two ahead secures your preferred date.

Getting your deposit back in Lee

In England your deposit must be protected in a government-approved scheme (DPS, TDS or mydeposits), and any deduction has to be justified against your check-in inventory. Landlords can expect the property back in the same condition, allowing for fair wear and tear — not in better condition than when you moved in.

Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, a landlord cannot require you to pay for a professional clean as a condition of the tenancy. What they can require is that the property is returned as clean as it was at the start. A professional end of tenancy clean is often the simplest way to meet that standard, and our 72-hour re-clean guarantee means any agent feedback is handled quickly.

Tip: photograph each room after the clean and keep your receipt. If a dispute arises, the deposit scheme's free resolution service will look at this evidence.
