Cleaners in Brondesbury, NW6

Brondesbury is large Victorian houses that are mostly flats now. Building started along Willesden Lane in 1847 and the big villas went up through the 1860s to the 1890s, which means high ceilings, deep cornices and original sashes sitting above kitchens fitted a century later. Converted flats are their own kind of job and most of what we do here is one.

What we price, and what it costs

These are our fixed end of tenancy cleaning prices for an empty property in Brondesbury. They include a full oven deep clean, everything needed to clean an empty home, and the seven-day re-clean guarantee. No survey, no callback, and no “from” price that changes on the day.

Extra bathrooms £25 each. Deep cleans from £139, regular housekeeping from £26 an hour with a two-hour minimum. See your own figure on the price calculator.

What’s different about cleaning in Brondesbury

Conversions, and the line nobody reaches

A Victorian villa split into three or four flats keeps the original ceiling heights and loses the original layout. The cornice, the picture rail, the ceiling rose and the tops of the doors are all still up there at well over three metres, and in a flat with no loft ladder nobody has touched them since the conversion. That line is the first thing an inventory clerk photographs and the last thing a regular clean reaches. We bring the steps as standard and it is in the price, not an extra on the day.

Oven cleaning on its own

More people search for an oven clean in Brondesbury than for anything else we do here, which makes sense in a flat with a fitted kitchen and a landlord’s appliance in it. A single oven is £69, a double £89 and a range £129 — racks, trays, both panes of the door glass, the seal and the grill pan housing. On an end of tenancy or a deep clean it is included free.

Communal halls and who actually owns them

In a converted house the hall, the stairs and the front door are usually the freeholder’s and not yours, and a check-out clerk will not charge you for them. We clean up to your own front door and say so plainly, rather than quoting for communal parts you have no obligation to clean. If the freeholder wants the common parts done we will price that separately for them.

Brondesbury Park is a different property altogether

The road itself runs down to Salusbury Road past the private park that Humphry Repton laid out, and the houses along it are family houses rather than flats. Those are full-day jobs for a pair and we quote them as houses, not as the two-bed conversions three streets away. Manor Drive, built on the site of the old manor house after it came down in 1934, is the same.

Weekly cleaning, which is most of it

More of our Brondesbury work is weekly or fortnightly housekeeping than tenancy cleaning. £26 an hour weekly, two-hour minimum, the same named cleaner every visit, no contract and no exit fee. Key-holding is available and most people here use it.

Regular cleaning in Brondesbury — weekly and fortnightly

Weekly and fortnightly housekeeping is the majority of our Brondesbury work and has been from the start. £26 an hour weekly, £28 fortnightly, two-hour minimum, the same named cleaner every visit, and no contract and no exit fee — if it stops working you tell us and it stops. Every cleaner is employed by us on PAYE, right-to-work verified and DBS checked, and we carry £5,000,000 cover.

A typical visit: studio 2 hours · one bed 2½ · two bed 3 · three bed 3½ · four bed 4½. Ten per cent off the first clean, and no contract or exit fee — if it stops working you tell us and it stops. £26 an hour is the rate with your own products and equipment — your hoover, your surfaces, your choice of product, which matters on marble, natural stone and hand-painted joinery. If you would rather we brought everything we can, and it is charged as an extra shown on your quote.

Two kinds of household, two different visits

A conversion flat on Willesden Lane and a house on Brondesbury Park are not the same job at the same rate for different hours — they are different work. The flat is a two-hour visit where the kitchen and the bathroom are ninety per cent of it. The house is four hours where the stairs, the landing and the second bathroom are what actually take the time. We quote the hours off the rooms, not off the bedrooms.

The things a weekly clean never gets to

A weekly visit keeps a home level; it does not reach the oven, or the inside of the windows. Left alone those decline slowly enough that nobody notices until a year has gone. We set a cycle for them — the oven on a schedule, the inside of the windows about twice a year — and remind you when each is due rather than waiting to be asked.

Holiday cover that is a person, not a gap

Cleaners take holiday and get ill. The question is whether you get told the day before and lose the week. You are given a named second cleaner at the start, who has been to the property while your regular cleaner was there, so cover is somebody who knows the flat rather than somebody standing on the step with a mop.

Office and commercial cleaning in Brondesbury

Salusbury Road, Willesden Lane and the Kilburn High Road end carry small offices and studios above the shops, clinics and therapy rooms, salons and a number of nurseries and small schools. Four to twenty people, usually up a flight of stairs with no lift.

From £30 an hour, quoted as a fixed monthly figure once we have walked the space, on a rolling monthly contract with thirty days’ notice on either side. No twelve-month tie-in. Every cleaner is directly employed by us, right-to-work verified and DBS checked, and signs an NDA as standard. We carry £5,000,000 public liability cover and the certificate goes out with the quotation rather than on request. The site visit is free.

Where there are children on the premises the vetting is the point. Every cleaner is directly employed by us rather than subcontracted, right-to-work verified, and we are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office under registration ZC256136. Ask for any of that and you get the document. Out of hours is the default — before eight or after six.
