A Biggin Hill check-out, room by room
Most rented homes in Biggin Hill are detached houses and bungalows on long plots, so the check-out clerk usually walks through more rooms, more carpet and more glass than in a London flat. We clean them at a fixed price by bedrooms: £156 for a studio, £207 for one bedroom, £243 for two, £339 for three and £425 for four, with the oven and carpets as add-ons you choose.

The clerk’s report follows the check-in inventory, so it helps to know the order they work in. In a Biggin Hill house it tends to go like this.
- Front door, hall and stairs
- Door glass, the letterbox, skirting along the hall and every spindle on the banister. In a chalet bungalow the stairs up to the roof rooms are usually carpeted and steep, and the clerk looks at the edges of each tread.
- Kitchen
- Inside every cupboard and drawer, the hob, the extractor filter, tiles behind the cooker, the sink and taps, the fridge seals and the floor where the washing machine stood. Most clerks open the oven before anything else.
- Bathroom and en-suite
- Taps, shower screen, the shower head and the grout lines. Biggin Hill is on Thames Water’s supply, and Thames Water says all the water in its region is hard, so white scale on chrome is the most common note on a bathroom page.
- Bedrooms and living room
- Wardrobe shelves and rails, radiators, sockets and switches, window sills and tracks, and the carpet where furniture stood for years.
- Conservatory and garden doors
- Plenty of the larger houses and bungalows have them. The clerk checks the roof panels from inside, the door runners and the frames, which collect leaves and dust blown off the downs.
Our cleaners work to a 57-point checklist built around that same walk-through, so the job covers what the clerk reads, top to bottom.
Prices by bedroom count
The price is set by bedrooms and nothing else, and the calculator at the top of the page shows it before you book.
| Property | Price |
|---|---|
| Studio flat | £156 |
| One bedroom | £207 |
| Two bedrooms, flat or bungalow | £243 |
| Three bedrooms | £339 |
| Four bedrooms | £425 |
| Five bedrooms or more | quoted from the room count |
| Part of a home, or an unusual layout | £30 per cleaner per hour |
A bungalow is priced the same as a house with the same number of bedrooms. A conservatory, a utility room or a second bathroom does not move the price.
Plotland bungalows and RAF family houses
Biggin Hill grew in an unusual way. Frederick Dougal, a Wandsworth man, sold the farmland of the Aperfield estate as building plots at £10 each, advertised as the cheapest plots near London. They sold slowly, and after his death small bungalows went up in the valley, most of them weekend homes built of wood, breeze blocks and corrugated iron.
After the war a Kent County Council plan improved the main road and zoned land for housing, developers bought up many of the old plots and rebuilt them, and the population rose sharply in the twenty years after 1961. That is why the 2011 census found detached houses and bungalows to be the most common homes here.
For a cleaner, those homes share a pattern: one or two storeys, wide windows, fitted carpet through most rooms, and a kitchen and bathroom that may be older than the tenancy. A single-storey bungalow has nowhere to hide a rushed job either, because the clerk can see from the hall into almost every room.
The airfield shaped the other big group of rented houses. Annington has been refurbishing former Ministry of Defence homes on a private gated estate, among them four-bedroom semis and detached houses built in the 1940s and 1950s on Mouchotte Close and Keith Park Crescent. Houses like these are four-bed jobs at £425, and they tend to come with gardens, garages and plenty of floor.
Flats are fewer, mostly along and just off Main Road. A one- or two-bed flat there is a quicker clean than a house, at £207 or £243.

No station, one main road
Biggin Hill has no railway station. The nearest are Hayes, about five miles away, and Bromley South, Orpington and Oxted, and the nearest tram stop is New Addington. Almost everything comes and goes by road, and the A233 is the only main road through the town, north to south.
For a moving day that means the removal van and our cleaners share the same route up the hill. Thames Water is also replacing 3.9km of water main in Biggin Hill, on Main Road, Leaves Green Road, Ashmore Lane and Milking Lane, with work planned into September 2027, so we allow for roadworks when we plan the day.
If you are leaving without a car, the 320 bus runs from Biggin Hill Valley through Leaves Green and Keston to Bromley South and on to Catford.
Where a house has its own drive we park on it. If your address is a flat over the shops or a tight close, tell us when you book; any parking we have to pay for is added at what it costs us.
Bromley licensing, rents and your deposit
Biggin Hill is in the London Borough of Bromley, which runs only the national mandatory HMO licence: a home let to five or more people from two or more households who share a kitchen, bathroom or toilet.
There is no selective or additional scheme. Most Biggin Hill lets are single families in whole houses, so licensing rarely touches them, and in any case the standard your clean is judged against is the check-in inventory, with fair wear and tear allowed.
The money at stake is real. ONS figures for Bromley in August 2026 put the average rent at £2,159 a month for a semi-detached home and £2,897 for a detached one. Deposits are capped at five weeks’ rent when the yearly rent is under £50,000, so on a detached house at that average about £3,340 is held until the check-out report is signed off.
That figure is a good reason to book the clean for the last day the keys are yours, after the furniture has gone. If the agent or clerk finds something we missed, tell us within 48 hours and we come back to clean it again at no charge.
Ovens and carpets in Biggin Hill houses
The oven is never inside the fixed price. Added to the clean it costs £31 for a single or a single wide oven, and £62 for a double or a 90cm range cooker, which many of the bigger kitchens here have. The oven cleaning page explains how it is done as a job on its own.
Carpets matter more up here than in most of London, because bungalows and family houses are carpeted almost wall to wall. With the clean, it is £29 a bedroom, £36 a living room, £47 a through lounge, £35 a flight of stairs, £20 a hallway and £8 a landing. Check your tenancy agreement for a carpet clause before you book, and see our carpet cleaning page for more.
The cleaners are vetted with an in-person interview, insured and trained on the checklist. We have worked since 2014, more than 300 letting agents use us, tenants have won back £1.2m in deposits after our cleans, and our Google rating is 4.7. Phone 0333 555 2076, 8am to 7pm, seven days a week. We also cover Westerham down the hill in Kent, and the rest of Bromley.
Biggin Hill end of tenancy FAQs
I am leaving a three-bed bungalow with a conservatory. What will it cost?
£339, the three-bedroom price. The conservatory glass, frames and door runners are cleaned from inside as part of it.
We rent one of the former RAF family houses on the gated estate. Can you get in?
Yes. Tell us how the gate works when you book, or leave a code or fob with your agent, and we plan the start time around it.
How do your cleaners get to Biggin Hill with no train?
They drive and bring all the equipment with them. The bedroom prices are the same as anywhere else we work; paid parking, if we need it, is added at what it costs us.
Does my Biggin Hill house need a licence from Bromley Council?
Only if it is a shared house with five or more tenants from two or more households. Bromley runs the mandatory HMO licence and nothing on top of it.
I share a house near Main Road and I am the first to leave. What should I book?
Your room plus a share of the kitchen and bathroom, by the hour at £30 per cleaner. Whoever leaves last can book the whole house at the fixed price.
