Prices
How much is a deep clean in Southwark?
Expect £69 for the minimum booking: 3 hours of one cleaner's time at £23 an hour. Larger Southwark homes, or flats with heavy grease and limescale, need more hours, and a job of about six hours or more is split between two cleaners. We suggest a figure when you book and confirm the price before the clean.

Local knowledge
Old warehouses, Georgian squares and new towers
Few boroughs pack in as many building types. The Shad Thames warehouses, completed in 1873 as the largest warehouse complex in London, became flats in the 1980s and 1990s. Camberwell Grove, Grove Lane and Addington Square keep well-preserved Georgian terraces. East Dulwich turned from hamlet to suburb when more than 5,000 houses went up between 1871 and 1881. Around Elephant and Castle, towers now stand where post-war estates once did.
That range changes what a deep clean involves. In a converted warehouse, dust sits on exposed brick and the tops of tall windows. In a Georgian or Victorian house, it gathers on cornicing, panelled doors, banisters and floorboards with gaps. In a new tower flat it is less about dust and more about limescale on glass shower screens, grease on handleless kitchen doors and smears on floor-to-ceiling glazing.
Timing is worth thinking about. A family house in Dulwich looks better in sale photographs after a deep clean. A riverside flat in Rotherhithe or Bermondsey needs its balcony frames, tracks and glass done once winter weather has passed. And a home that has just had building work needs the trades gone before the clean starts.

Southwark properties and what we focus on
Georgian houses in Camberwell
Terraces on Camberwell Grove and around Addington Square have tall rooms, sash windows, fireplaces and long staircases. A deep clean here means detail work on joinery, banisters and skirting, plus time on kitchens and bathrooms fitted into rooms built for other uses.
Victorian houses in East Dulwich and Dulwich
Houses from the 1870s building boom often have bay windows, ceiling roses, stained-glass front doors and tiled hallways. These hold grime in every groove, so they are cleaned by hand, and the kitchen at the back, usually the hardest-working room, gets a full degrease.
New-build towers at Elephant and Castle
Flats in Strata SE1 and the newer Elephant Park blocks have large glazed walls, glass shower screens, gloss or handleless kitchens and integrated appliances. Limescale, smears and grease show quickly on these finishes, so the hours go on glass, chrome and kitchen fronts.

Before we arrive
Tips for your deep cleaning in Southwark
- For a Victorian or Georgian house over three or four floors, tell us the number of floors and staircases as well as bedrooms. Stairs and banisters take real time and change the hours we recommend.
- If you are selling in Dulwich or East Dulwich, book the deep clean two or three days before the estate agent's photographer, so the house is clean but not yet lived in again.
- In a warehouse loft, move rugs, bikes and anything stored on high shelves before the team arrives, so ledges and floors can be cleared in one pass.

FAQ
Deep Cleaning in Southwark: questions
Is the 3 hour minimum enough for a Southwark flat?
Sometimes. The minimum is 3 hours with a single cleaner. A one-bedroom flat in a modern block in good condition may need little more than that, while a Victorian conversion in Peckham or a warehouse loft in Bermondsey with years of build-up will take longer. We recommend hours from the size and condition you describe and confirm them with the price.
Is there a guarantee on deep cleaning?
Yes. If something was missed, tell us within 24 hours and we will come back and fix it at no extra cost. Walk round the kitchen, bathroom and window sills soon after we finish, while the details are fresh, so anything that needs another look is reported in time.
Can you deep clean a period house in Dulwich before we sell?
Yes. Dulwich Village keeps nearly all of its original 18th and 19th century buildings, and the streets around it have many large period houses, so a pre-sale deep clean is mostly detail work: joinery, fireplaces, sash windows, stairs and bathrooms. Give us the floor count and the number of rooms, and we will work out the hours.
What is the difference between a deep clean and a regular clean?
A regular clean maintains a home that is already in good order. A deep clean deals with what builds up over months: grease on cupboard doors and tiles, limescale on taps and screens, and dust on skirting, frames and high ledges. It is also a sensible first visit before weekly or fortnightly home cleaning begins.
Do you deep clean in Rotherhithe and Canada Water?
Yes. SE16 is fully covered, from the converted riverside warehouses to the newer homes around Canada Water and Surrey Quays. If your building has a concierge, let us know when you book. Canary Wharf, a single Jubilee line stop from Canada Water, sits in E14, which is among the districts where our team works most.
