If you've ever tried to get a straight answer on how much cleaning costs in South West London, you'll know the frustration. Most cleaning companies make you fill in a form, wait for a callback, or give you a vague "from £X" with a page of asterisks. We think that's wrong. At EcoBroom London — covering Streatham, Balham, Herne Hill, Tulse Hill, Streatham Hill and Streatham Common — we believe you deserve to know exactly what you're paying before you ever pick up the phone. This guide lays out real 2026 market rates for every service we offer, what those prices include, and where we sit in comparison. No fluff. No hidden fees. Just the numbers.
Why are cleaning prices in South West London different?
Before we get to the prices, it's worth understanding why London cleaning generally costs more than the national average — and why your specific postcode matters.
Higher living costs mean cleaning professionals in SW2, SW12, SW16 and SE24 command higher wages than the UK average. That's fair — you want a team who earns a sustainable living, not one cutting corners to survive. Travel and parking around Streatham Hill, Balham High Road and Herne Hill add genuine cost for any company; at EcoBroom we never add hidden parking surcharges — it's factored into our flat pricing.
Property types across South West London — Victorian terraces, modern flats, ex-local authority properties — all clean differently. A two-bed Victorian terrace in Tulse Hill has very different needs to a purpose-built two-bed flat in Balham. And genuinely eco-friendly products do cost more to source than industrial chemicals — but they're better for your family, your pets and the South London streets and parks you walk every day. We absorb that cost rather than passing it on as an add-on.
1. Regular domestic cleaning (Streatham, Balham, Herne Hill)
Regular cleaning is the bread and butter of any home — a reliable, recurring clean that keeps your home fresh week after week.
A standard clean covers kitchen surfaces, hob, sink and appliance exteriors; bathrooms and toilets cleaned and disinfected; all rooms vacuumed and floors mopped; dusting of surfaces, furniture and skirting boards; emptying bins; and tidying cushions, throws and general clutter.
- Minimum booking: 2 hours
- Eco-friendly products: included, no surcharge
- Same team each visit, where possible — consistency matters to us
| Frequency | London market rate | EcoBroom London price |
|---|---|---|
| One-off clean (per hour) | £20–£28/hr | £25/hr |
| Regular weekly | £18–£25/hr | £22/hr |
| Regular fortnightly | £20–£26/hr | £23/hr |
Tip: Our minimum rate is £22/hr (regular weekly). Most 2-bedroom homes in Streatham or Balham take 3–4 hours for a thorough standard clean — so a typical weekly clean works out around £66–£88 per visit.
2. Deep cleaning prices (SW2, SW12, SW16, SE24)
A deep clean goes further than your regular weekly visit. Think inside the oven, behind the fridge, inside cupboards, limescale removal, and detailed attention to every surface — not just the visible ones. It's typically needed when moving in or out, after a renovation, for a seasonal spring clean, or when a property has been left unattended.
An EcoBroom deep clean includes everything in a standard clean, plus: inside the oven, microwave and appliances; inside all kitchen cupboards and drawers; a full bathroom descale of taps, showerhead, tiles and grout; inside wardrobes and drawers; skirting boards, door frames and light switches; behind and under accessible furniture; and windows cleaned from inside.
Unlike our fixed-price services, a deep clean is charged by the hour — £30/hr with a 4-hour minimum — because the work needed varies hugely with a property's size and condition. Our booking wizard estimates the hours from your property details, and the price is confirmed before you commit. The totals below are typical estimates at our £30/hr rate.
| Property size | London market rate | EcoBroom (est. at £30/hr) |
|---|---|---|
| Studio flat | £150–£220 | From £120 (≈4 hrs) |
| 1-bedroom flat | £200–£270 | £120–£150 (4–5 hrs) |
| 2-bedroom flat/house | £260–£340 | £150–£210 (5–7 hrs) |
| 3-bedroom house | £320–£420 | £210–£270 (7–9 hrs) |
| 4-bedroom house | £380–£500 | £270–£360 (9–12 hrs) |
Tip: Deep cleans take roughly 4–8 hours depending on property size and condition. If a property hasn't been cleaned professionally in over 6 months, allow extra time and budget accordingly.
3. End of tenancy cleaning prices (Streatham, Balham, Herne Hill, Tulse Hill)
End of tenancy cleaning is the most searched-for cleaning service in South West London — and for good reason. According to the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, cleanliness accounts for over 50% of all deposit disputes in the UK.
A professional end of tenancy clean isn't just about making a property look nice. It's about ensuring the property meets the standard your landlord and letting agent expect, to give you the best possible chance of getting your full deposit back. Our clean covers the kitchen (full oven clean, microwave, all cupboards inside and out, fridge/freezer, extractor filter, descaled sink and taps, all surfaces and splashbacks), bathrooms (full descale of shower, bath, taps, toilet and sink, grout and tile scrub, streak-free mirrors and glass), and living areas and bedrooms (carpets vacuumed, hard floors mopped, all surfaces dusted, skirting boards, door frames, light switches, doors wiped both sides, inside wardrobes and cupboards, and windows cleaned from inside).
| Property size | London market rate | EcoBroom London price |
|---|---|---|
| Studio flat | £170–£220 | £150 |
| 1-bedroom flat | £200–£260 | £190 |
| 2-bedroom flat | £260–£340 | £260 |
| 3-bedroom flat/house | £320–£420 | £340 |
| 4-bedroom house | £380–£500 | £460 |
| Add-on service | Market rate | EcoBroom price |
|---|---|---|
| Professional oven clean | £40–£60 | £45 |
| Carpet cleaning (per room) | £50–£80 | From £45/room |
| Upholstery / sofa clean | £50–£90 | £45 |
| Interior window cleaning | £25–£50 | From £25 |
| Fridge / freezer interior | £25–£50 | £25–£30 |
| Antiviral sanitisation | £20–£40 | £25 |
Tip: 48-hour re-clean guarantee: if your landlord or letting agent raises any concerns within 48 hours of our clean, we return and re-clean the flagged areas at no extra cost.
4. Move-in cleaning prices (South West London)
Moving into a new property in Balham, Streatham or Herne Hill? Even if the previous tenants had an end of tenancy clean done, a move-in clean gives you the fresh start you actually deserve.
Move-in cleans focus on your needs as a new resident — not on ticking a landlord's checklist. We clean the areas that matter most to you with eco-friendly, non-toxic products that are safe from day one, even if you're moving in with children or pets. That means a full deep clean of kitchen, bathrooms and all rooms; special attention to inside cupboards, wardrobes and storage; floors, skirting boards and surfaces; window interiors; and any personalised focus areas you flag.
| Property size | London market rate | EcoBroom London price |
|---|---|---|
| Studio flat | £130–£180 | £140 |
| 1-bedroom flat | £170–£230 | £175 |
| 2-bedroom flat/house | £220–£300 | £240 |
| 3-bedroom house | £280–£360 | £320 |
| 4-bedroom house | £340–£440 | £420 |
Tip: Book your move-in clean for the day before you move your furniture in — it's far easier to clean an empty property thoroughly, and you'll start fresh from day one.
5. Airbnb & short-let turnover cleaning prices
South West London is one of the most active Airbnb markets in the capital — Balham's village feel, Herne Hill's Brockwell Park and Streatham's transport links make these areas hugely popular with short-let guests.
A 5-star guest rating lives or dies on cleanliness. An Airbnb turnover clean isn't just tidying — it's resetting the property to hotel standard within a tight window between checkout and check-in. Our turnover includes a full bedroom reset (fresh linen if requested), a sanitised and restocked bathroom (toiletries can be supplied), a cleaned and reset kitchen, vacuumed living areas, rubbish removed, and a photo report sent to the host on completion.
| Property | London market rate | EcoBroom London price |
|---|---|---|
| Studio turnover clean | £45–£70 | £55 |
| 1-bedroom turnover clean | £65–£95 | £70 |
| 2-bedroom turnover clean | £80–£120 | £95 |
| 3-bedroom turnover clean | £100–£150 | £130 |
| 4-bedroom turnover clean | £140–£220 | £170 |
Tip: For hosts with regular bookings we offer ongoing turnover packages with discounted rates for multiple turnovers per month — get in touch to set up a recurring schedule.
How do EcoBroom prices compare to other SW London cleaners?

What affects the final price of your clean?
Every property is different, and final prices can vary based on a handful of factors. A property that hasn't been cleaned in months takes longer than one that's regularly maintained — we'll always let you know if we expect additional time. We don't charge parking fees, but if a visit requires a parking permit or paid parking, we factor it into your quote transparently.
Add-on services like carpet cleaning, oven cleaning and external windows are quoted individually. Regular weekly or fortnightly bookings receive lower hourly rates than one-off cleans. And size and layout matter — a 3-bed house with two bathrooms takes longer than a 3-bed with one. We always recommend a free site assessment for first-time deep cleans and end of tenancy cleans so your quote is accurate before any work begins.
Why eco-friendly at no extra cost?
Most cleaning companies offer "eco-friendly" cleaning as a premium upgrade. We think that's backwards. Every EcoBroom clean — from a quick one-off to a full end of tenancy — uses certified, non-toxic, eco-friendly products. Here's why we don't charge extra for them.
- Better for your health — our products are free from harsh VOCs and irritants that can trigger asthma, skin reactions and headaches, especially in children and pets.
- Better for South London — what goes down your drains in Streatham, Balham and Herne Hill ends up in the Effra and the Thames, so we choose products with a minimal environmental footprint.
- They clean just as well — our professional-grade eco products deliver the same results as conventional chemicals, often better on natural stone and hardwood.
