Chobham Manor end of tenancy cleaning

How do you hand back a flat on Honour Lea Avenue, pass the inventory on the first walk, and have the deposit released inside the ten-day window? You clean to the developer spec the report was written against, not to a generic idea of tidy. That is what end of tenancy cleaning at Chobham Manor has to be: checklist-driven, built for a clerk who knows the hand-back pack, £30 per hour per cleaner, with a 48-hour re-clean guarantee measured against the check-out report itself. Ring 0333 555 2076 for a price in about three minutes.

Last updated June 2026. We cover the whole of Chobham Manor inside E20 1, the E20 1LF postcodes around Mirabelle Gardens and Honour Lea Avenue, and the wider Olympic Park fringe across E20 1 and E20 2. This page sits inside the borough directory at End of Tenancy Cleaning Newham.

What the inventory clerk already knows about your flat

Start with the thing nobody tells you. Chobham Manor went up between 2015 and 2022 as a joint venture between Taylor Wimpey and L&Q, under the London Legacy Development Corporation’s plan for the neighbourhoods north of the stadium. Around 880 homes, a nursery, a café, three linked greens running the length of the masterplan. Every home was handed over to a known spec: handle-less kitchens, integrated Neff or Bosch appliances, engineered oak in the living areas, tile in the wet rooms, and no boiler, because the estate plugs into the Olympic Park district heat network through a unit in a cupboard.

The clerk who runs your check-out is not guessing what that kitchen looked like new. They have the photo pack from when the home was first let, and most of them have walked Festuca House, the townhouses on Anthems Way and the apartments round Mirabelle Gardens dozens of times. If the silicone round the induction hob carries a grease shadow, that shadow was not there at hand-over. If the extractor mesh has gone the colour of weak tea, that is a deduction conversation. If the engineered-oak run has a heel-trail from a sofa shifted without pads, the torch finds it.

The clerk knows the developer spec by heart, because they have walked these blocks dozens of times.

Because most of Chobham Manor is for sale or shared ownership rather than build-to-rent, the lets here split two ways. There are L&Q shared-ownership homes, and there are private corporate-relocation flats, the kind a company books for staff in and out of London on a year’s posting. Both run an inventory against the developer spec, and that spec bar tends to sit higher than the loose one a private buy-to-let landlord might apply. The job is to meet the bar the clerk was briefed on, in writing, with photos.

The licence question almost everyone on this estate gets wrong

Here is the part people guess at. Most of Newham runs a borough-wide selective licensing scheme, in force from 1 June 2023 to 31 May 2028, covering 22 of the borough’s 24 wards. It catches nearly every private rented home in Newham. Two wards were left out: Royal Victoria, and Stratford Olympic Park. Chobham Manor sits in the Stratford Olympic Park ward.

So your landlord almost certainly does not need a routine selective licence on this address. The full Newham selective licensing designation spells out the boundary. What still applies is mandatory HMO licensing if the home is let room by room, and, more to the point for a move-out, the housekeeping standard the developer and the managing agents set for the estate. That standard is what the inventory was written against, and it is the one a clean has to clear.

What 1 May 2026 changed, and what it left alone

The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 came into force on 1 May 2026. Section 21 no-fault evictions are gone. Every assured shorthold tenancy in England has rolled over to a periodic one, and a tenant can give two months’ notice at any point in the year.

The cleaning side of a move-out did not change at all. The deposit benchmark is the same. The check-in standard is the same. What shifted is timing. An estate full of one-year corporate lets and shared-ownership moves now turns over on a rolling notice rather than fixed end dates, so the move-outs are less predictable and the month-end rush does not ease. The dull, paying advice: book the clean earlier than you used to.

Every surface we touch, in one list

One list, no add-ons hidden behind asterisks. We run the same 57-point agent-approved checklist on every job and scale the crew to the home. Here is the shape of it for a Chobham Manor flat or townhouse.

• Kitchen: integrated oven cavity, racks, inner door glass, seals and the control fascia, taken apart rather than wiped over
• Kitchen: induction hob and the thin silicone bead between it and the worktop, where boiled-over pasta water bakes on
• Kitchen: integrated extractor canopy, mesh filters lifted out, degreased at the sink and refitted
• Kitchen: integrated fridge-freezer inside, drawers, door seals and the condenser tray where you can reach it
• Kitchen: integrated dishwasher and washer-dryer, filters, drum, spray arms and the door seal the clerk opens first
• Kitchen: handle-less unit faces including the under-edge that holds finger oil, plus plinths and kickboards
• Kitchen: quartz or composite worktops polished streak-free, taps and waste descaled, splashback grout brushed
• Bathrooms: walk-in shower glass, frame and channel descaled, rainfall head and hose done
• Bathrooms: tile floors and walls, grout brushed back, silicone beads checked for grime
• Bathrooms: heated towel rail and chrome polished, mirror edge and any demister strip wiped
• Bathrooms: vanity drawers, soft-close hinges, the WC inside the rim and the floor behind the pan
• Bedrooms: wardrobe interiors top to bottom, drawer runners, and the bed-frame base lifted
• Bedrooms: skirting, door tops, hinges and the threshold strips between rooms
• Floors: engineered oak swept then microfibre-mopped with a wood-safe polish; any carpet vacuumed corner to corner
• Living areas: media-unit dust-out, cable runs and the wall behind the TV
• Living areas: floor-to-ceiling glazing inner face, frame channels and the patio-door track
• Glazing: glass balustrade panels wiped on the inner face, sills and reveals throughout
• Heating: the heat-interface unit cupboard cleared of fluff and the door wiped, no boiler to descale here
• Throughout: light switches, sockets, thermostat and the video-entry intercom panel, where spotlights show finger marks
• Throughout: internal doors both sides, frames, architraves, handles and soft-close mechanisms
• Throughout: ceiling lines, cornicing and the smoke-alarm housing dust-cleared
• Throughout: entrance hall, utility cupboard, airing-cupboard shelving and any riser cupboard
• Last: hard floors mopped or buffed on the way out, route from the kitchen to the door, no prints walked back in

A few things sit outside the base clean and we quote them on their own rather than fold them in: the outer face of glazing where access allows, a second oven deep on a townhouse double or range, and carpet shampoo on the bedrooms.

Common reasons we get re-called

Even on the 3% that miss first time, the return is free under our 48-hour re-clean guarantee. The patterns repeat on this estate:

• The extractor filter. Skip the mesh and the clerk’s torch finds the residue up the canopy. Ours comes out and gets degreased every time.
• Heel-trails on the engineered oak. A sofa dragged without felt pads leaves a grey streak down the living-room run. A wood-safe polish lifts most of it; an abrasive would scratch the finish and cost you the floor.
• The silicone round the induction hob. That bead bakes hard. Soft brush, gentle paste, by hand.
• Glass balustrades and the inner glazing. Pollen and rain film off the gardens shows on the panels facing the green. We do the inner face; the outer is a window-cleaning trade.
• The heat-interface cupboard. Easy to walk past, easy for the clerk to flag. It gets cleared.

A skipped extractor filter is the single most common reason a kitchen here fails its check.

What it costs, and the maths most tenants run too late

Chobham Manor runs on our standard pricing. No premium bump, no promo, no discount line. Kit, products and travel inside the area are in the figure.

Part-jobs, where you only need a top-up rather than a full hand-back, are £30 per hour per cleaner, two-cleaner minimum. Three-quarters of the homes on this estate have three or more bedrooms, by design, so our most-booked job here is the three-bed townhouse, not a studio. For a four-bed or one of the multi-generational homes Make designed for the later phases, we plan three cleaners on a longer day.

Run the sums the way a deposit makes you. A two-bed at £243 against a deposit several times that is not really a decision. Every booking carries a 48-hour re-clean guarantee: flag a cleanliness issue inside 48 hours and we come back free, provided nobody has moved in. Our first-time pass rate sits near 97%, but the guarantee is the real point. We are on the books of 300+ letting agents, and over the years that work has helped tenants recover £1.2m in deposits that would otherwise have gone on cleaning deductions.

A Mirabelle Gardens job from March

“We rented a two-bed on Mirabelle Gardens for eighteen months, a relocation let through a corporate desk, both of us out for a job in Manchester. The flat looked spotless to us. Then I read the inventory again and saw it logged the engineered-oak floor and the integrated extractor as new. Two cleaners came on the Wednesday, pulled the extractor mesh, took an hour over the floor with a wood polish, did the glass balustrade on the balcony side. The check-out clerk passed it on the first walk. Full deposit back in nine days.”
Priya, Chobham Manor E20 1LF, March 2026

That is a fair picture of the pattern here: a short corporate let, a home that looked clean to the people leaving it, an inventory that named the oak floor and the integrated extractor as new, and an agent who checks against the photo pack. What carried it was not the scrubbing alone but the dated photo set that went out with the invoice.

Booking it, parking it, getting in

Booking is quick. Ring us, tell us the block, the floor and the move-out date, and we send a fixed price back by return rather than a “someone will be in touch”. Then three things matter on the day.

1. Access. Concierge, a parcel-room desk, a key safe or an agent drop-off. Tell us which when you book so we are not stood outside a fob-entry lobby.
2. Parking. Most kerb-side bays on Honour Lea Avenue and Anthems Way are Newham resident-permit bays; a few private bays run a separate red-zone scheme that needs a code from your block manager.
3. Empty home. Furniture out, rubbish gone. We send the photo pack the same evening, and if the clerk flags anything inside 48 hours we come back free.

The nearest stations are Stratford and Stratford International, the latter seven minutes from St Pancras, which is why so many of the lets here are corporate relocations on a tight in-and-out clock.

Other jobs people ask us about here

A move-out on this estate often pulls in more than the core clean. Carpet cleaning is the common one on the bedroom carpets in the townhouses. Oven cleaning is already in every end-of-tenancy job, and stands alone from £77 if a double or range is all the agent flagged. Window cleaning covers the outer glass an inventory sometimes asks for, and a deep clean resets a home you are staying in.

Three jobs get muddled, so it is worth booking the right one.

Check-in inventory

The report a clerk wrote on your first day, photo by photo, against the developer hand-back spec. It is the line your move-out is measured against, which is why we clean to it.

End-of-tenancy clean

Built to pass that inventory and free the deposit, home empty, with the 48-hour re-clean guarantee on it at £30 per hour per cleaner.

Deep clean

A reset for a home you are keeping, with no formal standard to hit. Same hourly rate, no check-out at the end of it.

Regular domestic clean

Ongoing upkeep, the same cleaner kept on the home, from £22 an hour weekly or £24 fortnightly.

Questions we get asked

How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost at Chobham Manor?

A studio is £156, a one-bed apartment £207, a two-bed £243, a three-bed townhouse £339, and a four-bed townhouse £425. Three-beds are the most-booked size here because most of the estate is family stock. If you only need a part-job rather than a full hand-back, it is £30 per hour per cleaner.

Is Chobham Manor inside Newham’s selective licensing scheme?

No. Newham’s borough-wide selective licensing runs from 1 June 2023 to 31 May 2028 and covers 22 of the 24 wards. The two left out are Royal Victoria and Stratford Olympic Park, and Chobham Manor sits in the Stratford Olympic Park ward. So a routine selective licence does not apply to your address, though mandatory HMO licensing still does if the home is let room by room.

Do you clean the L&Q shared-ownership flats as well as the open-market ones?

Yes, both. Whether the home is open-market resale, shared ownership through L&Q, or a private corporate let arranged by an agent, the hand-back standard is the developer spec the inventory was written against. We clean to that, not to a generic idea of tidy.

Are you safe to use on the engineered-oak floors?

Yes. We sweep, then microfibre-mop with a polish made for engineered board, and we never put an abrasive pad or an acid descaler near wood. The Chobham Manor spec is engineered oak in the living areas and tile in the wet rooms, so each gets the right product.

Can you get inside the integrated appliances?

Always. The integrated oven, hob, extractor, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washer-dryer all come open. The extractor mesh lifts out, gets degreased at the sink, dries and goes back. A skipped extractor filter is the single most common reason a kitchen here fails its check, because the clerk shines a torch up the canopy.

What is the 48-hour re-clean guarantee?

If the inventory clerk or the agent flags a cleanliness issue within 48 hours, we come back and put it right at no charge, as long as nobody has moved in and the home is as we left it. It rides on every booking, every postcode.

How long does a three-bed townhouse take?

Plan on six to eight hours with two cleaners, or four to five with three. Most Chobham Manor townhouses run over two or three floors with a separate utility cupboard, so a full move-out sits at the longer end of that.

How does parking work on the estate?

Most kerb-side bays on Honour Lea Avenue, Anthems Way and around Mirabelle Gardens are Newham resident-permit bays. We sort a visitor permit through you or use a paid bay. A handful of private bays on the estate are managed under a separate red-zone scheme, and we need a code from your block manager to use those, so tell us the arrangement when you book.

Do you handle the heat-interface unit cupboard?

Yes. Chobham Manor runs on the Olympic Park district heat network, so each home has a heat-interface unit in a hallway or utility cupboard instead of a boiler. The cupboard collects dust and fluff and clerks check it. We clear it and wipe the door; we do not touch the unit’s pipework.

Can I book at short notice?

Usually yes, especially Tuesday to Thursday. End-of-month and Friday slots go first, so two or three days’ notice helps if you can give it. Since the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 came in on 1 May 2026 the move-outs are less predictable, so the earlier you ring the better the slot.

Do you charge more for hard-water marks in the bathrooms?

No, that is part of the base clean. Stratford sits in Thames Water’s hard band, around 280 ppm, so chrome, glass and shower screens scale up quickly. We lift it with a mild scale solution on the chrome and glass, never on porous tile or stone, then hand-buff dry the same day.

Will you clean the glass balustrades and floor-to-ceiling glazing?

We do the inner face of all internal glass, the balustrade panels, the window reveals and the patio-door tracks as standard. The outer face of glass on a raised podium deck or a higher balcony is a building-side window-cleaning job, which we can quote separately rather than fold in quietly.

Which letting agents do you work with around the Olympic Park?

We are on the books of 300+ letting agents across London. Around Chobham Manor and the wider park that means the volume agents marketing the estate, the corporate-relocation desks, and L&Q’s own resales team. Most of the time the tenant books us and we copy the agent on the photo pack; sometimes the agent books direct.

What happens if my landlord disputes the clean?

If the work is done to checklist standard and the photo pack backs it up, the dispute usually settles before it reaches an adjudicator. Where it does escalate, the deposit scheme reviews the evidence, and a dated photo set plus a signed checklist is what wins those. We have helped tenants recover £1.2m in deposits doing exactly that.
