Moving out of an Erith rental
Most homes let in Erith fall into four groups: the rebuilt flats and houses of Erith Park off Larner Road, the post-war council houses of the Lesney Farm estate, Victorian terraces near the station, and the newer flats along the river.
We clean all four at the end of a tenancy for a fixed price set by bedrooms, from £156 for a studio to £425 for a four-bed house, and the oven and carpets go on top only if you need them.

An inventory clerk works through the home in the same order as the check-in report and compares each line. Knowing that order tells you where a cleaner’s time has to go. This is the route a clerk usually takes through an Erith flat or house, and what we do at each stop.
- Front door and hall
- Scuffs on the door, the letterbox flap, the switch by the door and the skirting. In a Victorian terrace split into flats the hall is often a narrow strip with a meter cupboard, and the clerk opens the cupboard. We wipe the door on both sides, clean the switch plates, wash the skirting and clear the cupboard floor.
- Kitchen
- Most deductions start here. The clerk opens every cupboard and drawer and looks at the hob, the extractor filter, the splashback and the sink. We clean the units inside and out, degrease the hood and filter, do the fridge and freezer (defrost it the night before), the washing machine drawer and door seal, and the floor under anything that slides out.
- Bathroom
- Scale on the taps, the shower head and the glass, dark grout, the toilet behind the seat hinges, the fan grille. With Erith’s water this room takes longer than its size suggests; the water section below explains why.
- Bedrooms and living room
- Inside the wardrobes, the tops of door frames, radiators, sills, the window glass from inside and the marks round light switches. Floors are vacuumed, and hard floors mopped.
- Back door
- In a house with a garden, the clerk checks the back door, its frame and the sill under it, which collect grit from the path. We clean all three. Garden clearance is not part of the clean.
Everything above is on our 57-point checklist. The cleaners are interviewed in person before they join, insured, and trained on that list.
Erith end of tenancy prices
The price depends on bedrooms, not on hours. It is the same whether the flat is in a mid-rise Erith Park block or in a Victorian terrace near the station.
| Property | Price |
|---|---|
| Studio | £156 |
| One bedroom | £207 |
| Two bedrooms | £243 |
| Three bedrooms | £339 |
| Four bedrooms | £425 |
| Part job (one room in a shared house, a kitchen only) | £30 per cleaner per hour |
A house with more than four bedrooms is quoted from the room count. Prices assume the home is empty and in the condition you would expect at the end of a let. Bexley’s ONS figures put the average two-bed rent at £1,526 a month in August 2026, and a five-week deposit at that rent comes to about £1,760. The clean costs a fraction of what the deposit scheme is holding.
Oven and carpets on the same visit
The oven is an add-on and is never in the fixed price. With the clean, a single or single wide oven is £31, and a double or a 90cm range cooker £62. Our oven cleaning page covers the oven on its own.
If your tenancy agreement has a carpet clause, add carpets to the booking: £29 a bedroom, £36 a living room, £47 a through lounge, £35 a flight of stairs, £20 a hallway and £8 a landing. A two-storey house usually has one flight of stairs and a landing to count. The carpet cleaning page has the standalone service.
Larner Road, Lesney Farm and the riverside blocks
Erith’s housing is newer than the town’s age suggests. The old centre was cleared in phases between 1966 and 1980, so the streets around the station and the shopping centre are mostly post-war. Older housing survives round the edges: small terraces near the town centre built for workers in the riverside industries, and larger Victorian villas on Bexley Road and The Avenue on the higher ground.
Off Larner Road, Wates Residential and Orbit replaced the seven tower blocks of the old Larner Road estate with Erith Park, 587 houses and mid-rise flats built over six years, about 80% of them affordable rent or shared ownership.
The neighbouring Park East scheme by the same partners was planned at 280 homes on the same model. A check-in report on a flat this recent usually describes it as new or nearly new, so marks on the walls and grease in the kitchen stand out at check-out.
Lesney Farm lies along Avenue Road. After the Second World War, Erith Borough Council built council housing at the western end of the road, and the first 28 houses of the new Lesney Farm estate went up facing Avenue Road in 1946. A house on the estate is priced like any other, by bedrooms, so a three-bed is £339. Further on is Northumberland Heath, where house-building began in earnest in the 1880s and the stock is older again.
Since 2000, developers have built a good number of flats along the river, and the new estate on the old Erith quarry off Fraser Road adds more. Flats with balconies need the balcony door track and the glass from inside; tell us if there is a balcony when you book.

Very hard water from the Thamesmead zone
Erith is supplied by Thames Water, and the DA8 3AP postcode sits in its Thamesmead water supply zone. The company’s 2025 report for that zone gives an average hardness of 355 mg/l as calcium carbonate, with readings from 338 to 385. That is very hard water.
It leaves a white crust on taps, a haze on shower screens and a ring inside the kettle and the toilet bowl, and a clerk notes all of it as uncleaned. Descaling is part of every clean we do here, with no extra charge: taps, shower head, screen, tiles, the sink and the toilet bowl.
Licensing and parking near the station
Bexley Council runs one selective licensing scheme, and it covers Belvedere ward only, from 13 January 2025 to 12 January 2030. Erith’s wards are outside it, so a flat or house let to one household in Erith needs no council licence. Larger shared houses, with five or more people from two or more households, need a mandatory HMO licence anywhere in the borough.
If you are leaving a let in Belvedere, a stop up the line towards Abbey Wood, that home falls inside the scheme. The council’s property licensing page has the details. None of this changes the check-out: the clean is judged against your inventory either way.
Parking matters more than people expect. Bexley’s Erith Station controlled parking zone covers Lesney Park Road, Pier Road, Stonewood Road, Victoria Road, Walnut Tree Road, Queen Street and Erith High Street, with the controlled hours on the signs at each entry. If we have to pay to park, that cost goes on the quote. Erith station has Southeastern trains to Cannon Street and Charing Cross; Slade Green station serves the streets further east.
To book, give us the postcode, bedrooms, floor, any oven or carpets, and the check-out date. Power and hot water must still be on. If the agent or clerk raises a cleaning point within 48 hours, we come back and put it right free of charge.
We have cleaned in London since 2014 and work with more than 300 letting agents; tenants have recovered £1.2m in deposits after our cleans, and we are rated 4.7 on Google. The other towns we cover in the borough are listed on our Bexley end of tenancy cleaning page.
Erith end of tenancy questions
I rent a flat in Erith Park. Is it cleaned any differently?
No, the checklist is the same. The flats are recent, so allow for the integrated kitchen: we clean inside the built-in fridge, the dishwasher filter and the cupboards around them. The price is set by bedrooms.
Does my Lesney Farm house need the carpet add-on?
Only if the tenancy agreement or check-in report says the carpets were professionally cleaned when you moved in. If it does, count the bedrooms, the living room, the stairs and the landing, and add them when you book.
Is my Erith flat covered by Bexley’s selective licensing?
No. The scheme that started on 13 January 2025 covers Belvedere ward only. Your landlord only needs a licence if the home is a large shared house under the national HMO rules.
Why does the bathroom take so long here?
Erith’s water averaged 355 mg/l of hardness in 2025, which is very hard. Scale builds on the glass, taps and grout over a tenancy, and removing it properly takes time. It is part of the clean and costs nothing extra.
Can I book just my room in a shared house near the station?
Yes. Room-only and part jobs are charged by the hour at £30 per cleaner. Book your room and a fair share of the kitchen and bathroom, and the last person to leave can book the whole house at the fixed price.
