Canada Water homes compared
Almost everything here was built after the docks closed, so the question is less about period features and more about how much glass, how many built-in appliances and how high up the flat is. The table sets the common types against the price and the part of the job that takes the time.

| Studio | Tower flats, including the smallest units at The Founding | £156 | Kitchen run along one wall, shower room, balcony door glass |
| One-bedroom flat | Maple Quays courtyard blocks, Ontario Point | £207 | Built-in oven, hob and dishwasher behind cabinet doors; floor-to-ceiling windows |
| Two-bedroom flat | Maple Quays, The Founding, the older blocks towards Surrey Quays | £243 | A second bathroom in larger flats, glass screens and scale on the fittings |

Maple Quays, Ontario Point and The Founding
Canada Water lake is the surviving northern third of Canada Dock, named for the ships from Canada that used it. About half of the old dock was filled in for the shopping centre at Surrey Quays, just south of the water. The Jubilee line station opened in 1999 and the Overground followed in 2010, putting Canary Wharf one stop east and Bermondsey one stop west.
Maple Quays was the first big block of homes beside the station. Barratt London built it as 668 flats of mixed tenure in three courtyard blocks, with the 26-storey Ontario Point at the corner, and completed it in 2013.
It fronts the square outside the station, with shops along the ground floor. When a Maple Quays flat is let by its owner, the check-out is run by that owner’s agent, against that agent’s inventory, so two flats on the same landing can be checked in different ways.
The Founding came next, on the plot British Land calls A1. It has 35 storeys and 186 flats, from studios to three bedrooms, sold privately, so a flat you rent there is let by its owner. It is the first housing in British Land’s 53-acre masterplan for Canada Water, which plans around 3,000 homes in all. The library, which opened in 2011, hangs over the lake, and the 170-metre boardwalk along the dock opened in November 2024.
The rest of the ward is older blocks with a large share of social housing: at the 2021 census 39.6% of Rotherhithe ward households rented from a council or housing association and 34.7% from a private landlord. North of the lake, towards the river, the peninsula becomes Rotherhithe proper.
Two flats on the same landing can be checked in different ways.
Licensing, parking and water in SE16
Southwark’s selective licensing scheme took in the Rotherhithe and Surrey Docks wards on 1 November 2023, so a privately rented flat here generally needs a licence from the council. Southwark also licenses shared houses through its mandatory and additional schemes. The licence is the landlord’s duty; your clean is judged against the check-in inventory, with fair wear and tear allowed. The council sets out the rules on its selective licensing page.
Rents make the deposit worth protecting. The ONS put Southwark’s average private rent at £2,474 a month in August 2026, up 5.4% in a year, with one-bedroom homes at £1,876. Five weeks’ rent on that one-bed is about £2,160.
Two council parking zones cover the area: zone H for Rotherhithe runs Monday to Friday, 8am to 6.30pm, and zone S for Rotherhithe and Surrey Docks, Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 6.30pm. Tell us the building and whether the lift or loading bay is booked through the concierge; any parking we pay for is added at cost and shown on the quote.
Water comes from Thames Water’s Rotherhithe supply zone, where hardness averaged 256 mg/l in the company’s 2025 results. That is hard water, and in a flat with two glass shower screens it shows.
What the clean covers in a tower flat
Every clean follows our 57-point checklist. In a new-build flat the work is mostly in these places:
- Kitchen: cupboard fronts and insides, handles, worktops, splashback, hob, extractor and filter, the built-in fridge and dishwasher (door seals and filter), sink and taps descaled.
- Bathrooms: glass screens and tiles descaled, taps, shower heads, toilet, basin, the mirror cabinet and the extract grille in the ceiling.
- Living space and bedrooms: wardrobes inside, skirting, doors, sockets and switches, and the inside of the big windows and the balcony door, frames and runners included.
- Hard floors vacuumed and washed; carpets vacuumed if they are not being cleaned.
Our cleaners are vetted at an in-person interview, insured and trained on the checklist. Should the letting agent or clerk flag anything in our work within 48 hours, we return and clean it again at no charge.
We have worked across London since 2014, more than 300 letting agents use us, and our Google rating is 4.7. Tenants have recovered £1.2m in deposits on the back of our cleans. Call 0333 555 2076 from 8am to 7pm, seven days a week, or see the wider Southwark page.
Canada Water end of tenancy FAQs
How much is a two-bed flat in Ontario Point?
£243, fixed. The floor makes no difference to the price. Add the oven if the inventory needs it.
Do you clean the balcony?
We sweep it and clean the balcony door and the glass from the inside. Outside glass on a high floor is the building’s job.
Our concierge needs the cleaner’s name before they let anyone up. Is that a problem?
No. Tell us when you book and we send the details in advance.
I rent a room in a shared flat at Maple Quays and leave before the others. What should I book?
Your room and a share of the kitchen and bathroom, by the hour at £30 per cleaner. The last person out can book the whole flat at the fixed price.
The flat has two bathrooms. Does that cost more?
No. The price is set by bedrooms, and both bathrooms are part of it.
