End of tenancy cleaning in Finsbury Park, N4
Finsbury Park sits where Islington, Haringey and Hackney meet, but our end of tenancy price list does not change at the borough line: £156 for a studio, £207 for a one-bed, up to £425 for a four-bedroom house. We follow a 57-point checklist, and a free re-clean covers anything the agent or clerk flags within 48 hours.

The homes around Finsbury Park
The park opened in 1869 and covers 110 acres. Haringey runs it, and it sits on the southern edge of that borough, so most of the homes people mean by “Finsbury Park” are outside Haringey: the station and the streets south and east of it are in Islington, and east of the park, around Brownswood Road, is Hackney’s Brownswood ward.
Rents follow the borough more than the postcode. The ONS put the average private rent at £2,868 a month in Islington in August 2026 and £2,219 in Haringey, a gap of more than £600 across one park.
Most of the stock is Victorian. Tollington Park and Hanley Road were begun around 1840, with Italianate villas among the earliest houses in north Islington, and by the late 1890s some of the big villas on the south side of Tollington Park had already been replaced with small terraces on Birnam Road.
Brownswood Park, on the Hackney side, was built up in the 1860s and 1870s, and so was Stroud Green, up the hill west of Stroud Green Road. Many of these houses are now let as two or three flats. A converted flat brings tall sash windows with grimy runners and a shared stairwell the inventory may still list.
The newest homes are beside the station. City North has 335 homes in two 21-storey towers and a ten-storey block next to the Wells Terrace entrance, which opened in December 2019, with a concierge desk for residents in every tenure, from private to social rent.
Further south, the Andover Estate in Holloway has over a thousand council homes, most of them built between 1973 and 1979 between Hornsey Road and Seven Sisters Road. A tower flat and a terrace conversion with the same number of bedrooms are different jobs. The tower has more glass and integrated appliances; the conversion has more woodwork, more stairs and older bathrooms.
Who rents here is mixed: sharers, young couples, families on the estates. Haringey’s 2021 census figure gives a sense of scale: 35.6% of households in the borough rented privately, up from 31.5% in 2011 and well above London’s 30%.
Prices, oven and carpets
| Property | Price |
|---|---|
| Studio | £156 |
| One-bedroom flat | £207 |
| Two-bedroom flat or house | £243 |
| Three-bedroom flat or house | £339 |
| Four-bedroom house | £425 |
| Room in a shared house, or an odd layout | £30 per cleaner per hour |
The oven is an add-on, priced by type: £31 single or single wide, £62 double or 90cm range cooker. Carpets booked alongside the 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.
In a converted house, the carpeted stairs up to a first-floor flat are often the most worn surface on the inventory, so check whether your agreement asks for them. More detail on both is on our oven cleaning and carpet cleaning pages.
Paid parking for the van is added only when the street needs it, at what it costs us, and you see it on the quote. For your own price, use the calculator at the top of the page or call 0333 555 2076, 8am to 7pm, seven days.
What gets cleaned
The home should be empty, with power and hot water on. The cleaners then work top to bottom through every room. Finsbury Park is on Thames Water, and Thames Water says most of the water in the south-east of England is hard, because it passes through chalk. Scale on taps, shower screens and the kettle is one of the first things a clerk writes down, so descaling is part of every clean here.
- Kitchen: inside and outside every cupboard and drawer, worktops and splashback, hob, extractor and filter, sink and taps, fridge and freezer (defrost them the day before), washing machine seal and drawer, and behind appliances that slide out.
- Bathroom: scale off the taps, screen, shower head and tiles, grout, toilet, bath and basin, and the extractor grille.
- Every room: skirting boards, doors and frames, switches, radiators, sills, the inside of wardrobes, window glass from the inside, sash runners, and floors vacuumed and mopped.
Cleaning will not remove damage. A burn on the worktop or a cracked tile goes on the report as a repair, whatever state the rest of the kitchen is in.
Deposit rules and licensing in Finsbury Park
Your deposit is capped at five weeks’ rent where the yearly rent is under £50,000, so on an average Islington two-bed (£2,697 a month in August 2026) that is about £3,110, held in a protection scheme. The landlord can deduct for cleaning only where the home is dirtier than the check-in inventory recorded, allowing for fair wear and tear. That makes the inventory the document to read before the clean.
Which licence your landlord needs depends on which council you are in.
- Islington
- Selective licensing has covered the Finsbury Park, Tollington and Hillrise wards since 20 May 2024, so a home let to one household or to two people needs a licence. Additional HMO licensing for three or four sharers was renewed borough-wide from 1 February 2026, and on 23 November 2026 selective licensing extends to seven more wards, including Highbury.
- Haringey
- Additional HMO licensing has applied borough-wide since 17 June 2024. Selective licensing, in force since 17 November 2022, covers 14 wards including Harringay, but not Stroud Green.
- Hackney
- Selective licensing started in Brownswood ward and 16 others on 1 May 2026, alongside a new borough-wide additional HMO scheme.
Islington’s property licensing page sets out its schemes. None of this changes the clean itself, but a licensed landlord usually works from a careful inventory and checks the home against it.
Booking, parking and Arsenal days
Booking takes three steps
- Your postcode and the property. The form gives the price.
- A date that suits you. Seven days a week.
- We confirm it with you by phone or WhatsApp.
0333 555 2076 · 8am to 7pm
Finsbury Park station has the Victoria and Piccadilly lines and Great Northern trains, in fare zone 2, but the cleaners arrive by van with the kit.
On the Hackney side, the Finsbury Park zone (G2) gets extra controls whenever the Emirates Stadium hosts a match or a concert: 8.30am to 8.30pm on weekdays, and noon to 4.30pm on Sundays and bank holidays. If your check-out falls on an Arsenal home day, tell us, and we will plan the parking around it.
When you book, give us the postcode, bedrooms, floor and lift, the check-out date and any oven or carpets to add. End-of-month dates go first, so book a week ahead if you can. Across the park to the north-east is Manor House, where the Piccadilly line stops at the Green Lanes junction; the rest of the borough is on our Haringey end of tenancy cleaning page.
We have worked across London since 2014. More than 300 letting agents use us, we have helped tenants win back £1.2m in deposits, and we are rated 4.7 on Google.
Finsbury Park end of tenancy FAQs
My flat is off Blackstock Road. Is it licensed, and does that change the clean?
Blackstock Road is in Islington. A flat let to one household in Finsbury Park ward has needed a selective licence since May 2024, and Highbury ward to the south joins on 23 November 2026; Islington’s postcode checker tells you which applies. The clean is the same either way, though a licensed landlord tends to check the inventory more closely.
Can you clean a flat in the City North towers?
Yes. Tell us the building and floor, and check with the concierge whether the lift needs booking for contractors. If the landlord has a building-specific check-out list, send it over and the cleaners will work to it.
We are four sharers in a house off Stroud Green Road, and we leave on different days. How does that work?
Each person can book their own room plus a share of the kitchen and bathroom by the hour, at £30 per cleaner, and whoever leaves last books the remaining communal rooms. Or book the whole house once, at the fixed price, on the last day.
Do I need to add the oven?
Only if it needs cleaning. The oven is an add-on: £31 for a single oven, £62 for a double. After a long let it is usually worth adding, since a dirty oven is easy for a clerk to photograph.
What happens if the agent flags something?
Send us the item within 48 hours of the clean and we come back and clean it again free. This applies to end of tenancy cleans only.
