A Crouch End check-out, room by room
For an end of tenancy clean in Crouch End, a studio is £156, a one-bed £207 and a two-bed flat £243; a four-bedroom house tops the list at £425. Those prices are fixed by size. The 57-point checklist we work from follows what an inventory clerk inspects, and anything raised within 48 hours is re-cleaned free.

Most Crouch End lets are flats inside houses built between the 1880s and 1914, so a clerk here walks through a fairly predictable set of rooms. This is the order most check-outs follow, and the things that get written down.
The shared hall and stairs. In a converted house the clerk usually starts at your own front door, which may be on a landing. Your section of stair carpet, the banister and the meter cupboard are on the inventory if they were on it at check-in. The communal hall belongs to the landlord; we clean it only if your tenancy makes it yours.
The front room. Bay windows are the hard part. A three-sided bay on a Victorian house has three sets of sashes, each with runners, a meeting rail and a sill that hold years of grit.
Above head height there are picture rails and cornices, and many front rooms still have a fireplace, blocked or not, that sheds soot on the hearth. The cleaners do all of it from steps, with the glass done on the inside.
The kitchen. In a converted flat this is often the old back bedroom or a rear extension. The clerk opens every cupboard, pulls out the drawers, looks at the extractor filter and checks the hob and splashback for grease. Fridge and freezer must be defrosted, dry and open. The oven gets opened too; it is an add-on, priced below.
The bathroom. Thames Water supplies N8 and, like all its water, it is hard from the chalk and limestone it passes through. Scale on taps, shower screens and the toilet bowl reads as dirt on a report. Our cleaners descale as standard and scrub the grout.
Bedrooms and the rest. Inside wardrobes and drawers, skirting boards, door frames, switches, radiators and the floor. Carpets are checked for stains against the check-in photos. A loft room under the eaves is counted as a bedroom.
A three-sided bay window has three sets of sashes, and every runner is on the clerk’s list.

If the van has to use a pay-and-display bay during the controlled hours, that cost is added at what we pay and shown on your quote before you book. The price calculator at the top of the page works it out from your postcode and bedroom count, and the phone line, 0333 555 2076, is open 8am to 7pm, seven days.

Crouch End stayed rural until about 1880. Railway stations on Crouch Hill and Crouch End Hill opened in 1867 and 1868, and in the 1880s the Imperial Property Development Company bought much of the Crouch Hall estate and sold plots to small builders.
Crouch Hall itself came down in 1884 for Crouch Hall Road. In the 1890s James Edmondson built the west side of the Topsfield estate, including Topsfield Parade, and John Cathles Hill built the parades and streets on the east side. Haringey designated the Crouch End conservation area on 25 October 1974.
Those big middle-class houses are the reason a clean here takes longer than the bedroom count suggests. From the 1960s into the 1980s Crouch End was bedsit country, and many houses are still divided into flats. A two-bed flat in one of them can have higher ceilings and more window than a new-build three-bed.
There is newer stock too. After the war council homes replaced the older housing along Park Road, so some lets here are ex-council flats with plainer finishes and quicker cleans.
And behind Hornsey Town Hall, the Grade II* listed 1935 building on the Broadway, Far East Consortium has built 146 apartments in blocks including the Uren Building, the Ayres Building and Ruby Mews. A newly built flat being let for the first or second time is usually checked against a very detailed inventory.
Renting here is not cheap. The ONS put Haringey’s average private rent at £2,219 a month in August 2026, with a one-bed at £1,639 and a two-bed at £2,034, and with deposits capped at five weeks’ rent, the deposit on an average two-bed is well over two thousand pounds.
Landlord licensing in N8
Crouch End ward is outside Haringey’s selective licensing scheme. That scheme, in force from 17 November 2022 for five years, covers 14 wards further east, Harringay and Hermitage and Gardens among them. A mile east, the Harringay Ladder is inside it, which is why friends renting a mile apart can get different answers.
What does apply in Crouch End is Haringey’s additional licensing for houses in multiple occupation, borough-wide from 17 June 2024 to 16 June 2029. A house or flat shared by three or more people who are not one household, sharing a kitchen or bathroom, needs a licence, and so do some converted blocks of flats (section 257 HMOs).
Haringey’s HMO licensing page sets out which homes qualify. For the end of tenancy cleaning across Haringey, the clean is the same either way; in a shared house we can split the job so each sharer pays for their room and a share of the common parts.
Parking, pipe works and trains around Crouch End
There is no Tube. The nearest Underground stations are Highgate, Archway, Finsbury Park and Turnpike Lane. Hornsey station is under a mile north of the Broadway, and Crouch Hill station, a similar distance south, is on the Suffragette line of the Overground. The W7, W5, W3, 41 and 91 buses run through the centre. Our team comes by van, so parking is the practical question.
Haringey splits the centre into two parking zones. Crouch End A is controlled Monday to Friday 10am to 12 noon, and Crouch End B Monday to Friday 2pm to 4pm. Outside those hours, and at weekends, the van can use a residents’ bay, so a weekend clean usually avoids a parking charge.
This year there is a second factor. Thames Water started replacing more than 8km of Victorian water mains in Crouch End on 9 February 2026, a job across 29 streets that runs for about a year, and parking bays are suspended for each phase.
Phases started in September 2026 on Tregaron Avenue, Granville Road, Haselmere Road and Nelson Road. If you live on one of those, tell us when you book so we can plan where to park and unload.
The same cleaners work up the hill in Muswell Hill, where many lets are mansion flats above the Broadway, and down in Stroud Green and Hornsey.
Adding the oven or carpets
An oven clean is charged on top of the fixed price: £31 for a single or a single wide oven, and £62 for a double or a 90cm range cooker. If the oven is the only thing left to do, see our oven cleaning service.
Carpets added to the end of tenancy clean cost £29 a bedroom, £36 a living room, £47 a through lounge, £35 a flight of stairs, £20 a hallway and £8 a landing. A through lounge, where the front and back rooms have been knocked into one, is common in these houses. Check your tenancy agreement for a carpet clause first. Carpets on their own are priced on the carpet cleaning page.
Booking and the 48-hour re-clean
Send us the postcode, bedrooms, floor, check-out date and any add-ons. The flat should be empty of your belongings, with the power and hot water still on, and the cleaners need a way in: you can meet them, or leave keys with a neighbour or the agent. Dates at the end of a month fill first.
Once the clean is finished, the agent or clerk has 48 hours to flag anything, and we come back and re-clean it at no charge. We have been doing this work since 2014, more than 300 letting agents use us, and we are rated 4.7 on Google. If you are staying put, a deep clean is £26 per cleaner per hour, from £186 for two cleaners for three hours.
Crouch End end of tenancy cleaning FAQs
My flat is in a converted Victorian house. Do I pay more?
No. You pay the fixed price for your number of bedrooms. The extra windows and high ceilings are allowed for in the time the team spends.
Do I need to clean the shared hallway in my building?
Only if your tenancy agreement says so. Communal parts are normally the landlord’s or the managing agent’s job. If they are on your inventory, add them when you book.
My street has Thames Water works on it. Can you still come?
Yes. Access for residents is kept open during the works, but the bays outside may be suspended. Tell us the street and we will plan parking nearby before the day.
Can my landlord insist I use a professional cleaner?
No. The Tenant Fees Act 2019 bans that as a condition of the tenancy. You do have to return the flat as clean as it was at check-in, less fair wear and tear, or the landlord can claim the cost from your deposit.
Is a flat in the new Hornsey Town Hall blocks a different job?
It is usually quicker per room than a period conversion, but the inventory tends to be more detailed. Send us the building name and floor, and any check-out list from the agent.
