Cleaning services for homes in Blackheath

A deep clean in a Blackheath house, start to finish

Before the day, empty any cupboards, drawers and wardrobes you want cleaned inside, clear the worktops if you can, and leave the water and electricity on. Two cleaners then arrive for a deep clean with the equipment and detergents (the £30 on the bill) and start at the top of the house, so dust from high shelves and picture rails lands on floors that have not been done yet. In a villa or a terraced house the order runs like this:

1. Top floor and stairs: high dusting, light switches, door frames, skirting boards, banisters and the insides of wardrobes and drawers you have emptied.
2. Bathrooms: taps, shower head, screen and tiles descaled; the toilet cleaned down to the base; the extractor grille wiped.
3. Kitchen: inside the emptied cupboards and the fridge, the tiles behind the hob, the sink and plughole, the outside of the oven.
4. Living rooms: under and behind the furniture that can be moved, sills, radiators, the inside of the windows.
5. Floors, on the way out: hoovered, then the hard floors mopped.

Descaling is a large part of the job. Thames Water’s 2025 report for its Blackheath zone, the one its lookup gives for SE3 0QR, ranged from 249 to 327 mg/l and averaged 282, and anything over 300 sits in the company’s very hard band. If weekly visits suit you better, domestic cleaning stops that scale building up again between deep cleans.

Blackheath prices

The deep clean rate is £26 per cleaner-hour. The minimum is two cleaners for three hours, with the £30 kit charge added once, which makes £186 for the shortest job; a large house needs more hours, and we agree how many on the phone. Weekly visits are £23 an hour and fortnightly ones £24, at least 3 hours each time. One-off work starts at £67. When there is no free parking outside, we pass on what parking costs that day, capped at £40. All of it is on the price list.

Leaving a rental? End of tenancy cleans are fixed by size, from £156; the Lewisham and Greenwich pages cover the two sides of the village. Carpets cost £36 a bedroom by hot water extraction (carpet cleaning), and a single oven is £77 (oven cleaning), with the racks soaked and the glass and seals done by hand.
