Chalfont St Giles homes and what they ask of a clean
Lets in Chalfont St Giles range from brick and clay-tiled cottages around The Green to new apartments at Newland Park, the old university campus outside the village, and our end of tenancy clean is priced the same way for all of them. It is fixed by bedrooms, from £176 for a studio up to £445 for four bedrooms.
Last updated October 2026.
The old village sits in the bottom of the Misbourne valley. The river runs along the eastern edge and feeds the duck pond, and the High Street, The Green and the lower end of Deanway make up the historic core. Buckinghamshire Council’s appraisal of the conservation area describes buildings set right on the back edge of the pavement around The Green, in red and heather brick with red-brown plain clay tiles; further along, the brick and render are colour-washed in pale shades, with some slate and half-timbering. In 2001 the boundary was extended to take in a group of Victorian buildings on the north side of Deanway, two cottages among them, and the field beside Milton’s Cottage.
For a tenant leaving one of these houses, the age of the building shapes the job. Low beams and timber frames hold dust along every ledge. Floors slope, so mop water finds the corners. Small leaded or multi-pane windows take far longer per square metre than a modern sheet of glass. And with the front door opening straight onto the pavement, the hall floor takes whatever the High Street brings in.
Newland Park and the newer houses
Newland Park was a teacher training college from 1946 and later a campus of what became Buckinghamshire New University, which closed it on 1 August 2009. The Comer Group bought the estate in 2011 and won permission in 2016 for 309 homes. They are going up as gated two- and three-bedroom apartments and three- and four-bedroom houses around a Grade II listed Georgian mansion, on 200 acres sold with Chalfont St Giles addresses. The Chiltern Open Air Museum is next door.
New homes bring a different list of jobs for the cleaner: integrated appliances that have to be opened up and cleaned inside, gloss handleless kitchen doors that show every smear, wide glass balcony doors and walk-in shower screens. The check-in inventory on a nearly new flat will describe almost everything as “new” or “as new”, and the clerk compares your check-out against those words, allowing for fair wear and tear.

The oven is an add-on and costs £31 for a single or a single wide oven, and £62 for a double or a 90cm range cooker. Carpets booked with the clean are £29 a bedroom, £36 a living room, £47 a through lounge, £35 a flight of stairs, £20 a hallway and £8 a landing. See our oven cleaning and carpet cleaning pages for each service on its own.
The clean, room by room
We work to a 57-point checklist. What it means in a Chalfont St Giles let:
- Kitchen: inside and outside all cupboards and drawers, worktops, tiles, hob, extractor, sink and taps descaled, fridge and freezer, and the integrated dishwasher door seals and filter.
- Bathrooms and en suites: screens, taps, shower heads and tiles descaled, grout, bath, basin, toilet, mirrors and fan covers.
- Living rooms and bedrooms: skirting, doors and frames, switches, radiators, inside wardrobes, window sills, beams within reach, and windows cleaned on the inside, leaded panes included.
- Floors: carpets vacuumed, hard floors washed, stairs and landings done.
Inglenooks and open fireplaces are dusted and the hearth wiped, but the flue is a job for a sweep. If there is a wood burner, tell us; we clean the glass and the outside of the stove.
Hard water and getting to the village
Chalfont St Giles is supplied by Affinity Water from groundwater, through a supply zone the company calls Beaconsfield/Chalfont St Giles. Its 2025 report gives a total hardness of 288 mg/l as calcium carbonate, and Affinity notes that almost all its supplies are hard because of the geology of southern England. In practice, that means scale on shower glass, taps and the plughole of every basin. Descaling is in every clean.
The village has no station. The nearest is Chalfont & Latimer, in Little Chalfont, on the Metropolitan line and Chiltern Railways, so our cleaners come by van. Parking around The Green and the High Street is tight, and on moving day the removal lorry often has the space outside. Let us know if there is a drive. If we have to pay for parking, the cost goes on the quote at what it costs us.
Deposit rules for Chalfont St Giles tenants
The ONS figures for Buckinghamshire in August 2026 were £1,475 a month on average, £2,163 for a detached house and £2,357 for four bedrooms or more. A deposit is capped at five weeks’ rent where the yearly rent is under £50,000, so a detached house at the county average holds about £2,500.
The clerk compares your check-out against the words in the check-in inventory, allowing for fair wear and tear.
A landlord can deduct for cleaning only to bring the home back to the condition recorded at check-in. Nor can the tenancy agreement oblige you to pay for a professional clean. If you share a large house with five or more people from two or more households, the landlord needs a mandatory HMO licence from Buckinghamshire Council. That is the landlord’s paperwork and does not alter the cleaning standard.
Our cleaners are interviewed in person before they join, insured and trained on the checklist. We have been working since 2014 across London and the areas around it, which takes in the Chilterns side of Buckinghamshire. More than 300 letting agents use us, tenants have had £1.2m in deposits returned, and our Google rating is 4.7. If the agent or clerk finds a problem within 48 hours, we go back and re-clean that part free. Use the calculator at the top of the page, or call 0333 555 2076, 8am to 7pm, seven days a week.
Questions from tenants in HP8
I rent a two-bed apartment at Newland Park. What does the clean cost?
£263 at a fixed price. Integrated appliances are cleaned inside as part of it; the oven is an add-on from £31.
Our cottage on the High Street has a range cooker. How much is that?
A 90cm range cooker is £62 on top of the clean. If yours is wider than 90cm, tell us the size when you book.
The house is listed. Will your products damage the old surfaces?
We use mild products on old timber, leaded glass and clay tile, and nothing abrasive. Tell us about any surface the landlord has asked to be treated in a particular way.
Can you get to us if the removal van takes the only space?
Yes. Give us the address and any drive or lay-by nearby when you book, and we plan the arrival around the move.
We are moving out of a five-bedroom house on the edge of the village. How is that priced?
Homes above four bedrooms are quoted from the room count. Call 0333 555 2076 or use the calculator, and give us the number of bathrooms too.
