Cleaning Prices in East London: What Shapes Your Quote
Our cleaning prices in East London are built around your property and the job you need done. We don’t use a one-size price list. A studio in Bow that’s cleaned every week takes very different work from a five-bedroom house in Walthamstow after the tenants have moved out.
On this page, you’ll find what affects the cost, how one-off and recurring work are priced, which extras are quoted separately, and what to send us so your quote matches the clean you actually need. Every quote is free, carries no obligation, and has the price agreed before anyone picks up a cloth.
Why we don’t publish a flat price list
A flat rate is either too high for a well-kept flat or too low for a kitchen that hasn’t had its oven touched in two years. Neither is fair to you.
That’s why we quote cleaning services across the E postcodes job by job. Before we quote, we ask about the property, its condition and what you want done. Then we agree the scope and the price in writing. If you add a task on the day, we’ll confirm the cost with you first. Nothing extra goes on the bill without your agreement.
What affects cleaning costs in East London?
Cleaning cost in East London comes down to time, labour and equipment. These are the factors that change all three.
Size and layout of the property
The number of bedrooms and bathrooms counts, but layout matters too. Here are some examples:
- A converted Victorian terrace in Hackney with three floors and narrow stairs takes longer than a flat of the same size on one level in Stratford.
- Two bathrooms cost more to clean than one large bathroom, because each has its own toilet, basin, taps and floor.
- Open-plan kitchen-living spaces in new-build blocks near the Olympic Park clean quickly. Glass balustrades and floor-to-ceiling windows add time.
Condition on the day
This factor makes the biggest difference. Light dust on the skirting boards takes a quick wipe. Grease baked onto the hob surround, limescale built up on a shower screen, or mould in the sealant needs product, dwell time and patience.
Photos help us quote accurately and avoid surprises. A few phone shots of the kitchen, bathroom and any problem areas are enough.
The tasks you want included
A routine clean covers the visible surfaces you live with every day. A deep clean goes further: inside cupboards, behind appliances, door frames, light switches and the grime along the tops of tiles. More tasks mean more time.
How often we come
Recurring visits usually cost less per visit than a one-off clean. A home kept on top of weekly or fortnightly never builds up the deep grime that takes hours to shift.
Access and practical details
These details all affect the time a job takes:
- Parking near the property, or access across a tight high-street location in Whitechapel
- Lifts, or a fifth-floor walk-up with equipment
- Key collection from an agent
- Restricted working hours in a commercial building
Tell us about them up front and they’ll be built into the quote.
Hourly cleaning rates versus a quote for the whole job
We use both, depending on the work.
Hourly pricing suits regular domestic visits. You get a set number of hours each visit, and we work through an agreed priorities list. If the kitchen and bathroom always come first, they always get done first.
A quote for the whole job suits one-off work with a clear finish line. Deep cleans, end-of-tenancy cleans and after-builders cleans are priced this way.
People often search for fixed price cleaning in East London. What we offer is a price agreed upfront for an agreed scope. If the job turns out to be different from what was described, we’ll talk to you before carrying on, rather than quietly adding to the bill.
Regular weekly cleaning prices in East London
For weekly, fortnightly or monthly cleaning, the price depends on these points:
- How many hours each visit needs. This is based on property size and the tasks on your list.
- How frequently we visit. Weekly visits keep homes in better shape, so each visit goes further.
- The starting condition. If the home needs catching up, we may suggest a one-off deep clean first. Your regular visits then maintain it, instead of slowly chipping away at a backlog.
Regular visits don’t automatically include oven interiors, carpet extraction, high-level work or external windows. These can be added as occasional extras. See our regular cleaning service for what a typical visit covers.
How much does a deep clean cost in East London?
A deep clean is priced on the room count, the condition and the detail you need. Typical deep-clean tasks include:
- Degreasing kitchen cupboard fronts, splashbacks and the extractor hood
- Descaling taps, shower heads, screens and tiles
- Cleaning inside empty cupboards and drawers
- Wiping skirting boards, door frames, light switches and radiators
- Vacuuming under beds and behind sofas where furniture can safely be moved
A one-bedroom flat in Leyton that gets a bit of attention most weeks will cost much less to deep clean than a family home where the cooker hood filter hasn’t been changed since moving in.
For an accurate figure, send us photos of the kitchen and bathrooms. Our deep cleaning page explains the full scope.
Price for end-of-tenancy cleaning in East London
End-of-tenancy pricing depends on the property size, the condition, and what the inventory or letting agent expects. We work to an agreed room-by-room checklist. If you can send us the agent’s cleaning requirements or the check-in inventory, we’ll quote against them.
The cost goes up when:
- The oven, hob and extractor need a full degrease
- There’s heavy limescale in the bathrooms
- Carpets need professional extraction, not just vacuuming
- The property is still full of furniture or belongings on the day
The cost goes down when the property is empty, the appliances have been kept reasonably clean, and we can get straight in with keys sorted.
Cleaning can’t repair wear or damage. No cleaner can honestly guarantee your deposit back. What we can do is clean thoroughly to the agreed checklist and put right anything in scope that was missed, provided you tell us promptly. We’ll confirm how that works when you book. More detail is on our end-of-tenancy cleaning page.
Add-ons and extras in East London homes and workplaces
These tasks are priced separately because each one needs its own time, equipment or method:
| Extra | Why it’s quoted separately |
|---|---|
| Oven cleaning | Racks, glass doors and baked-on carbon need soaking and specialist products |
| Carpet cleaning | Hot-water extraction needs a machine and drying time |
| Upholstery and mattress cleaning | The fabric type decides the method, so we check it first |
| Interior windows and frames | Time depends on the number of panes, their height and access |
| Inside the fridge and freezer | The appliance needs to be empty, and defrosted if necessary |
| Balcony or patio sweep | Weather and access affect the work |
| High-level dusting | May need ladders or extension tools |
Ask for any extra when you request your quote, and we’ll list it as a separate line so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
Carpet cleaning price guide in East London
Carpet cleaning is usually priced by room, or by the area of carpet. These factors adjust the price:
- Stairs and landings take more time per square metre than a bedroom floor.
- Heavy soiling in hallways and around sofas needs pre-treatment.
- Furniture that has to be moved, or worked around, adds time.
- Fibre type matters. Wool and some blends need gentler treatment than synthetic carpet.
Plan for drying time. Carpets are typically damp for several hours after extraction, so book it early in the day, or before you move furniture back in. We’ll treat marks and stains, but we can’t promise every stain will lift, especially old ones or ones that have been set by heat or other cleaning products.
Commercial cleaning costs
For offices, shops, gyms and other premises, the price depends on these factors:
- The floor area and how it’s used
- How often you need cleaning
- The hours we can work
- Whether the job includes washrooms, kitchens or communal entrances
A small office near Canary Wharf with an early-morning slot is priced differently from a retail unit in Stratford that needs cleaning after closing.
We often suggest a quick walkthrough before quoting commercial work. That way the price reflects the real job, not an estimate.
