Prices
How much is a deep clean in a Kensington flat?
Kensington deep cleans are priced at £23 an hour for each cleaner. Bookings start at 3 hours of cleaning time from a single cleaner, which comes to £69. A tall stucco house over four or five floors, or a flat with heavy build-up, needs a longer booking, often shared by two cleaners, and we recommend the hours first.

Local knowledge
Period detail, tall houses and building dust
More than two thirds of the Royal Borough lies within conservation areas. Behind the protected fronts, stucco terraces in South Kensington and Notting Hill, mansion blocks in Chelsea and the Georgian and Victorian houses of Kensington often keep their cornices, ceiling roses, panelled shutters and sash windows. Every moulding and ridge holds dust that a quick wipe will not move, and the higher it sits, the longer it has usually been left.
Height is the second factor. Kensington's terraced houses generally rise four to six floors, often with a lower-ground floor where daylight is limited and marks on grout and walls are easy to miss. Stairs, landings and banisters on every level take time that a bedroom count does not show, so we ask about floors as well as rooms.
Building dust is the third. Basement digs became common enough that the council adopted a stricter basements policy in January 2015, after residents complained of noise, vibration, dirt and dust. Fine dust from a neighbour's project still finds its way onto sills, shelves and stair rails. A deep clean after your own works, or a neighbour's, resets the house in one visit.

Homes we clean
Kensington and Chelsea properties and what we focus on
Stucco townhouses in South Kensington and Notting Hill
Pillared porches outside, tall sashes and plaster cornices inside. The clean works from the top of each room down: ceiling roses and cornices within safe reach, picture rails, shutters and the deep sills of sash windows, then skirting and floors last.
Mews houses
Former stables and coach houses on cobbled lanes behind the main streets, now compact homes. Ground floors are often converted garages with stone or tiled floors, and kitchens and bathrooms tend to be small. Grout, extractor grilles and limescale on shower glass take most of the hours.
Mansion flats in Kensington W8
Blocks near Kensington High Street and Kensington Church Street have high ceilings, long hallways and, in places, original parquet. Radiators, door panels and tall windows collect years of dust. We plan time for them instead of rushing them at the end of the visit.

Before we arrive
Tips for your deep cleaning in Kensington and Chelsea
- Tell us the number of floors and flights of stairs when you book, not just the bedrooms. A four-storey house with a lower-ground floor can need more hours than its bedroom count suggests.
- Book the deep clean once builders on your house, or the one next door, have finished the dusty phase. Fine dust from basement or loft work keeps settling for a few days after the drilling stops.
- Clear mantelpieces and display shelves of ornaments, framed photos and fragile pieces before we arrive. Period fireplaces and alcove shelves in Chelsea and Kensington homes get a better clean when they are empty.

FAQ
Deep Cleaning in Kensington and Chelsea: questions
Do you deep clean homes in Chelsea and Notting Hill?
Yes. We deep clean flats and houses across the Royal Borough, including Chelsea in SW3 and SW10, Notting Hill in W11, South Kensington in SW7 and Earl's Court in SW5. Of all the Royal Borough's districts, Kensington W8 is the one where we work most. Once you book online, we agree the hours and the price with you before the visit.
Is there a guarantee on a deep clean?
Yes. Every deep clean comes with our 24-hour promise. If a cornice, cupboard front or shower screen was missed, report it within 24 hours of the visit and the team returns to deal with it free. Photos help us see exactly what needs doing before we come back.
How do you clean period features like cornices and marble fireplaces?
Carefully and by hand. Cornices and ceiling roses are dusted within safe reach, marble surrounds are wiped and dried rather than scrubbed, and painted shutters are cleaned panel by panel. If a feature is fragile or newly restored, tell us when you book so we can agree how to treat it.
Can I book a deep clean before moving into a Chelsea flat?
Yes, and it is one of the easiest times to do it. Before your furniture arrives, every floor, cupboard front and skirting board is clear. The clean is charged by the hour like any other deep clean, from £69 for the 3 hour minimum, and we recommend hours from the flat's size and condition.
Is a deep clean worth it before selling a house in Kensington and Chelsea?
It helps. Agents photograph period homes closely, and grey grout, dusty cornices or marked skirting all show in pictures. A deep clean a few days before the photographs and first viewings gives the agent a clean house to show. If you are redecorating, book the clean after the painters, not before.
