Highbury mixes 1770s terraces and 1850s villas with purpose-built blocks, which house half its households (49.9%). Regular cleaning here costs £23 an hour; a deep clean starts at £186.

The weekly rate is £23 an hour and the fortnightly rate £24, with each visit at least 3 hours long, so a regular clean starts at £69. For a deep clean you pay £26 for every cleaner-hour and £30 once for the equipment and detergents the team brings; the smallest booking, two cleaners for three hours, is £186. Other one-off jobs start at £67. When a street has no free parking, the cost of parking on the day is added, capped at £40. Our price list shows the rest.

Georgian terraces, Victorian villas and blocks

Highbury Place’s 39 houses were built under leases granted in 1774 to 1779 by the speculative builder John Spiller, and the central part of Highbury Terrace is dated 1789. Building moved on in the next century: Highbury New Park was developed from 1851 by Henry Rydon, Aberdeen Park had large detached and semi-detached Italianate villas by the mid 1850s, and terraced houses and cottages began to appear around Blackstock Road in the 1850s, with more added in the 1860s.

Today 78.4% of households in Highbury and Arsenal wards live in flats, 49.9% in purpose-built blocks and 23.6% in converted or shared houses, while 17.5% live in terraced houses (Census 2021). Ownership (36.7%), private renting (32.7%) and social renting (30.4%) are close to level.

Cleaning a Highbury home, room by room

Kitchen

Worktops, the hob top, the sink and taps, cupboard doors and handles, the outside of the fridge, kettle and microwave, and the floor. On a deep clean the cupboards are emptied by you and cleaned inside, and the extractor grille and tiles get attention too.

Bathroom and WC

Bath, shower and screen, basin, toilet, mirror and the floor on every visit. Limescale on taps and glass, and the grout, are deep-clean work.

Bedrooms, living room and stairs

Dusting top to bottom, surfaces, skirting boards, hoovering carpets and mopping hard floors. In a terraced house the stairs and landings are included in the hours. A deep clean adds doors, frames, switches and behind furniture that can be moved.

The domestic cleaning and deep cleaning pages list everything in each.

Moving out, carpets, ovens and the new licensing

Highbury is one of seven Islington wards in a new selective licensing scheme, made on 21 August 2026 and in force from 23 November 2026 until 22 November 2031. It covers private lets to one person, two people sharing or a single household. Lets to 3 or 4 unrelated people come under Islington’s separate additional licensing scheme for HMOs.

For the clean between tenants, end of tenancy cleaning in Islington is a fixed price by size, £207 for a one-bedroom flat and £339 for three bedrooms. Tell us within 48 hours if the inventory clerk or agent marks something we cleaned, and we return to put it right at no charge. An oven can be added for £31 and carpets from £29 a bedroom. Booked separately, carpet cleaning in Islington is hot water extraction from £36 a room and £41 a flight of stairs, which suits a terrace, and oven cleaning starts at £77.

Highbury cleaning questions

Can my visitor e-voucher cover the cleaner on an Arsenal match day?

Yes, e-vouchers work during match-day controls, but a visit that runs into them needs two separate bookings, one for the usual restrictions and one for the match-day period, both bought before the controls begin.

Do you clean the Victorian houses around Highbury New Park and Aberdeen Park?

Yes. Houses are booked by the cleaner-hour, with more cleaners or more hours, and we agree both with you before the day so the price is fixed.

I let a flat to one tenant in Highbury ward. Does the new licence affect the clean?

The licence is between you and Islington Council, and it applies from 23 November 2026. The clean between tenancies is the same job either way, priced by the size of the flat.

How long does a weekly clean take in a Highbury terrace?

Usually longer than the 3-hour minimum, because a terrace has stairs, a landing and more rooms than a flat. Four hours is a common starting point, and we settle the hours with you on the phone so the price is clear before the first visit.

Do you clean on Sundays in Highbury?

Yes. We are open seven days a week, 8am to 7pm, and the day is agreed when we ring back.

Send your N5 postcode and we will ring back to agree the day and the price.
