Cleaners in Cricklewood, NW2

NW2 is the affordable end of the NW postcodes, and the stock shows it: brick houses from the Mapesbury streets, 1930s semis towards Dollis Hill, flats carved out above the Broadway parade, and a large sharer market that turns over constantly. Half our work here is a room at a time rather than a whole property.

What we price, and what it costs

These are our fixed end of tenancy cleaning prices for an empty property in Cricklewood. 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.

What’s different about cleaning in Cricklewood

Flats above the Broadway

Conversions above the shops and restaurants along Cricklewood Broadway and Cricklewood Lane are a particular job. Extraction from the kitchens below carries grease upwards: it settles on the tops of wall units, on the window frames at the front and on the inside of the glass. It is the single most common thing a check-out clerk flags on this stretch, and it does not come off with a cloth and spray — it needs degreaser and time, which is in the price rather than added on the day.

The Mapesbury conservation area

Chichele Road, Mapesbury Road and the streets around them are brick houses built between about 1895 and 1905, designated a conservation area in 1982. Most are now flats. Original floors, deep skirtings, picture rails and tall sashes with deep glazing bars — all of which take longer than the square footage suggests, and all of which are where the dust actually sits. We price on the property rather than the hour, so a flat that takes us longer costs you the same.

One room at a time

Because so much of NW2 is shared, tenancies here end one bedroom at a time rather than all at once. You almost never need the whole house done. We will quote for the departing room together with the kitchen and the bathroom, which is what the check-out is actually assessing, and it comes in well under a whole-property price.

Landlords running more than one house here get a single monthly invoice and the same two people on every changeover, so nobody has to be shown round twice.

Regular cleaning, not just move-outs

Plenty of our Cricklewood work is weekly or fortnightly housekeeping for families who moved here from NW3 and NW6 for the space — 1930s semis with more floor than they had before. Same named cleaner each visit, £26 an hour weekly, no contract.

Regular cleaning in Cricklewood — weekly and fortnightly

A large share of our Cricklewood work is now weekly and fortnightly housekeeping rather than move-outs. £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.

Families who moved here for the space

A lot of NW2’s regular customers came from NW3 and NW6 for a 1930s semi with a garden, and then discovered the thing nobody warns you about: a house with twice the floor takes more than twice the time, because it is not just floor — it is another bathroom, another staircase, and a kitchen you actually cook in. We quote the hours honestly at the start rather than agreeing to two and leaving half of it.

Landlords with more than one house

Cricklewood is full of small portfolios, and a landlord with three houses does not want three arrangements. One monthly invoice, the same two people on every property, and the communal parts of a shared house done fortnightly rather than between tenancies — which is the difference between a house that lets quickly and one that does not.

Why a regular slot gets you a better clean

It is not goodwill, it is the round. Regular work lets us put Cricklewood visits together in the day instead of sending someone across from NW3 between jobs. That means arriving on time, it means the travel is not eating the visit, and it is the reason we would rather have your Tuesday morning every week than one big clean in March.

Office and commercial cleaning in Cricklewood

We clean offices, clinics, salons, studios and serviced suites along Cricklewood Broadway, Cricklewood Lane and the trade and light-industrial units on the A5 towards Staples Corner.

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.

Out of hours is the default here, not a surcharge. Almost all of our commercial work is done before eight in the morning or after six in the evening, because an office cleaned around people is an office half cleaned — the desks never get done and the bins get missed. For the units off the A5 that usually means an early start; for the Broadway suites it is more often an evening.

Oven cleaning in Cricklewood

On an end of tenancy or deep clean the oven is included free — racks, trays, door glass, the seal and the fan housing. On its own it is £69 for a single, £89 for a double and £129 for a range, and we take the door glass apart rather than wiping between the panes and calling it done.

Two things come up here more than anywhere else we work. The first is the gas ranges in the 1930s semis off Anson Road and Dartmouth Road — a range is a genuinely different job from a built-in single and we price it at £129 rather than arriving and revising the figure. The second is the flats above the restaurants on the Broadway, where the grease on the outside of the oven is often worse than anything inside it, because it has been arriving through the air for years.
