Finchley grew as three shopping centres along the Great North Road: Church End, East Finchley and North Finchley. We clean homes around all three, weekly from £23 an hour or deep cleaned from £186.

Living and renting in Finchley

Across Finchley Church End, East Finchley, West Finchley and Woodhouse wards, 56.0% of households live in flats (39.0% in purpose-built blocks and 14.5% in converted or shared houses). The rest are mostly houses: 21.4% semis, 17.1% terraces and 5.4% detached (Census 2021). More than half own their home (52.8%), 36.3% rent privately, above the 32.7% for Barnet as a whole, and 10.8% rent socially.

The railways shaped it. The Great Northern Railway opened stations at East Finchley and Finchley (later Finchley Central) in 1867, and the Northern line was electrified to East Finchley in 1939 and to High Barnet in 1940. By 1920 building had already joined Church End to North End and East End, and West Finchley dates only from the 1930s, when large houses across the parish were giving way to smaller ones and flats. In Church End, the council picks out the Edwardian shopping parades where Regents Park Road meets Hendon Lane, and Avenue House with its grounds on East End Road.

Landlords should know that Barnet’s additional HMO licensing is borough-wide, covering HMOs with 3 or more people in 2 or more households. The licence is the landlord’s matter; it does not change the clean.

Regular and deep cleaning in Finchley homes

A regular clean is the same visit every week or fortnight, at least 3 hours long: kitchen surfaces and sink, the bathroom, dusting, hoovering and mopping, the bins, and anything you add on a note. In a semi or a terrace, the stairs and landing are part of the visit. The domestic cleaning page has the full list.

The water matters here. Affinity Water’s supply-area checker lists addresses in N3, N12 and N2 as ones it supplies, and its quality checker gives total hardness of 275 mg per litre for N3 2LN, which it classes as hard on a scale where 151 to 300 is hard. That shows up as limescale on taps, shower screens and around plugholes, and it is the slowest part of a first deep clean, along with the inside of empty cupboards, grout, skirting, doors and frames.

Finchley prices

Weekly cleaning is £23 an hour and fortnightly £24 an hour; with the 3-hour minimum, a visit starts at £69. Deep cleaning is charged at £26 per cleaner-hour, plus £30 for the equipment and detergents we bring, and two cleaners for three hours makes the minimum deep clean, £186. One-off work starts at £67. The price list shows every service. Where a street has no free parking, what we pay to park on the day is added, never more than £40.

The moving-out clean is priced by size, from £243 for a two-bedroom flat to £339 for a three-bedroom house; end of tenancy cleaning in Barnet has the full scale. If the inventory clerk or agent marks something we cleaned, tell us within 48 hours and we put it right at no charge. Carpets are cleaned by hot water extraction, from £36 a bedroom and £9 a landing, and ovens by hand in the kitchen from £77.

Questions from Finchley

Is Finchley’s water hard?

Where Affinity Water supplies it, yes. Its checker gives 275 mg per litre for N3 2LN. Other Finchley postcodes may differ, but limescale on taps and screens is something we plan for here.

Do you cover East Finchley and North Finchley as well as Church End?

Yes, all three centres and the streets around them, across N3, N2 and N12.

Do you clean the 1930s houses in West Finchley?

Yes. Semis and terraces are booked by the hour for regular cleaning and by the cleaner-hour for a deep clean, and we agree the hours on the phone so the price is settled before the day.

I let a house in Finchley. Do I need a licence?

If it is let to 3 or more people from 2 or more households, Barnet’s borough-wide additional HMO licensing applies. The licence does not change the clean.

How should I get a Finchley house ready for a deep clean?

Empty the cupboards you want cleaned inside, clear worktops and surfaces where you can, and keep the water and electricity on. We bring the equipment and detergents. If a room should be left alone, tell us when we ring and the hours are planned without it.

Send your Finchley postcode and the number of bedrooms, and we will ring back to fix a day.
