Cleaning Services in East London

Cleaning East London provides domestic, tenancy, specialist and commercial cleaning services in East London and across the E postcodes. That covers everything from a weekly tidy in a Leyton terrace to an end-of-tenancy clean in a Stratford new-build or evening office cleaning near Canary Wharf. Below you’ll find every service we offer, what each one covers, and how to choose the right one so you don’t pay for the wrong kind of clean.

Every job starts with a free, no-obligation quote. We agree the scope and price before anyone arrives, and our vetted, insured cleaners bring their own supplies and equipment unless you’d prefer we use yours.

Which cleaning service do you need?

Start with the state of the property and what happens next. Most people fall into one of these situations:

  • The house is basically fine but you’re losing the battle week to week. You need regular cleaning.
  • It’s been months since anyone cleaned behind the fridge or descaled the shower screen. Book a deep clean first, then move to regular visits.
  • You’re handing keys back to an agent. You need an end-of-tenancy clean worked to the inventory.
  • The builders have just left. You need an after-builders clean. Fine plaster dust settles again within hours, so a standard clean won’t shift it.
  • You run a shop, office or gym. You need commercial cleaning scheduled around your opening hours.

If you’re still unsure, send us a few photos and a line about what’s going on. We’ll tell you which service fits, and we’ll say so if a cheaper option would do the job.

Cleaning for homes across East London

Routine and one-off home cleaning

  • Domestic cleaning covers the everyday jobs in your home: kitchens, bathrooms, floors, dusting, beds and bins, matched to the rooms you actually use.
  • Regular cleaning is weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits worked from an agreed priorities list. You tell us what matters most. That might be the hob, the kids’ bathroom or the hallway floor everyone walks through in trainers. We focus there first.
  • One-off cleaning suits a single visit before guests, after a party or when life has simply got away from you.
  • Sparkle clean is a thorough top-to-bottom refresh for when you want the whole place looking its best, such as before a viewing or a family occasion.

Deep and room-specific cleaning

  • Deep cleaning reaches the jobs a routine visit doesn’t. That includes skirting boards, door frames, inside cupboards, behind appliances, limescale build-up and grout. In older Victorian houses around Walthamstow and Forest Gate, that often means picture rails and sash window frames too.
  • Kitchen cleaning tackles greasy extractor filters, splashbacks, cupboard fronts and worktops. If you want the cupboard insides done, empty them beforehand and we’ll clean the shelves properly.
  • Bathroom cleaning deals with soap scum, limescale on taps and shower screens, mouldy sealant edges and the base of the toilet. We’ll clean mould-marked sealant, but deep staining sometimes means the sealant needs replacing.

Greener options and windows

  • Eco cleaning uses eco-friendly products on request. We check each product suits the surface, because some natural cleaners like vinegar can damage marble and other stone.
  • Window cleaning is quoted on its own. External and high-level windows aren’t part of a routine home visit, and access matters a lot in flats above the ground floor.

Moving out, moving in and short lets

Tenancy cleaning is where a checklist matters most. We work room by room to the inventory or the agent’s cleaning requirements, so tell us what they’ve asked for when you book.

  • End of tenancy cleaning is for tenants and landlords at the end of a let. It covers inside the oven, the fridge and freezer (defrosted beforehand, please), kitchen cupboards, limescale, skirting boards, and marks on doors and switches.
  • End of lease cleaning has the same thorough approach for anyone whose agreement or agent calls it an end-of-lease clean.
  • Move in move out cleaning gets an empty property ready for the next person, or clean before you unpack. Empty rooms are the easiest to clean well, so book it for the gap between tenancies if you can.
  • Airbnb cleaning is turnover cleaning between guests for short-let hosts in places like Shoreditch and Hackney Wick. We agree the checklist, the linen arrangements and key handover with you in advance.

One honest point: cleaning can’t fix worn carpets, chipped paintwork or burn marks on worktops. A good clean gives you the best footing at the inventory check. No cleaner can guarantee your deposit comes back.

Specialist cleaning: ovens, carpets, fabrics and renovation dust

These services need specific equipment or drying time, so we quote them separately from routine visits.

  • After builders cleaning removes plaster and sanding dust from ledges, sockets, window tracks, inside cupboards and floors. We use HEPA-filtered vacuums and repeated damp wiping, because a single pass just moves the fine dust around. We also lift paint spots and sticker residue where the surface allows it.
  • Oven cleaning covers the oven interior, racks, trays, glass door panels and the hob. Oven interiors aren’t included in a regular visit, so book this as an extra.
  • Carpet cleaning uses hot water extraction to lift ground-in dirt from hallways and stairs. Plan on carpets taking several hours to dry, and keep pets and furniture off them in the meantime. We’ll work on stains, but some, like dye, bleach and old red wine, may only fade rather than disappear.
  • Upholstery cleaning is for sofas, armchairs and dining chairs. We check the fabric care code before choosing a method.
  • Mattress cleaning refreshes mattresses and treats marks, which is popular between tenants and in short lets.
  • Disinfection cleaning focuses on high-touch points such as handles, switches, rails and shared kitchens. It reduces germs on the surfaces we treat. It isn’t a sterile result.

Commercial cleaning in East London

We schedule commercial cleaning around your premises where possible. That might be early mornings before a shop on Roman Road opens, or evenings after an office in Whitechapel empties. For larger sites we’ll usually suggest a walkthrough before quoting.

  • Office cleaning covers desks, keyboards (with permission), kitchens, toilets, meeting rooms, and the crumbs under desks that nobody admits to.
  • Retail cleaning handles shop floors, fitting rooms, counters and fingerprints on entrance glass and display cases.
  • Restaurant cleaning supports front of house and kitchens, including degreasing. It supports your own hygiene routine but doesn’t replace it, and no cleaner can promise a food hygiene rating.
  • Gym cleaning includes equipment wipe-downs, changing rooms, showers and mats.
  • School cleaning covers classrooms, corridors, toilets and halls, with bigger jobs scheduled for half-terms and holidays.
  • Warehouse cleaning deals with floors, staff areas, loading-bay grime and dust on racking that we can reach safely.
  • Janitorial services give you ongoing daily cleaning, restocking of consumables and general upkeep for busy buildings.
  • Communal area cleaning keeps stairwells, lifts, bin stores and entrance halls clean for blocks and managing agents. We pay close attention to the fingerprints on communal entrance glass.

If you manage several properties, our partnerships page explains how we handle checklists, access and reporting across sites.

What we clean and what we don’t

We clean to the agreed scope, and we’ll tell you up front if something falls outside it. As a rule:

Included when agreed: interior surfaces, kitchens, bathrooms, floors, accessible windows inside, appliances you ask for, and inside cupboards that have been emptied.

Quoted separately: oven interiors, carpet and upholstery extraction, high-level work, external windows and post-renovation dust.

Not something we do: repairs or decorating, removing builders’ waste, biohazard cleaning, and anything needing work at height beyond safe ladder use.

Tell us about delicate surfaces before we arrive. That includes unsealed wood, natural stone, antique furniture and matte-finish paint. Mention any pets or allergies too, so we can plan the products and the order we work in.

Can you bundle several services into one booking?

Yes, and it usually makes sense. Common combinations include:

  • End-of-tenancy clean + oven clean + carpet cleaning (book the carpets last so they dry in an empty flat)
  • After-builders clean + window cleaning + a follow-up deep clean once the dust has settled
  • Regular cleaning + a quarterly deep clean of the kitchen and bathrooms
  • Office cleaning + periodic carpet and upholstery cleaning for meeting rooms

We’ll plan the order so one job doesn’t undo another. You’ll get a single quote that lists every item.

Booking slots and availability

Availability depends on the job and the week. Tenancy cleans cluster around month-end, so book early if your check-out falls on the last few days of the month. We can sometimes help at short notice, but we can’t guarantee it.

We’ll agree access and arrival before the visit. That means whether you’ll be home, keys left with a neighbour or concierge, parking, and building entry codes for blocks in Stratford or Canary Wharf. At the end of each visit, we check the work against the agreed tasks. If something in scope has been missed, let us know promptly and we’ll arrange to put it right. We’ll confirm how that works when you book.
