End of tenancy cleaning in Fulham Broadway

What does an inventory clerk on a Walham Green mansion flat reach for first? The extractor over the gas hob. In the red-brick blocks between Fulham Broadway and Stamford Bridge the cooker is communal-spec and the canopy has usually been baking grease for the length of the let, and that is the surface that decides whether your kitchen passes on the first walk-through. We are Monster Cleaning Ltd, a London end-of-tenancy crew working SW6 since 2014, and we clean to satisfy the person who writes the report. Hand-back cleans here, or £30 per hour per cleaner for a partial job, with a 48-hour re-clean guarantee against the check-out itself. Ring 0333 555 2076 for a price in about three minutes.

Last updated June 2026. We cover SW6 1 around the station and Stamford Bridge, plus the SW6 3 and SW6 5 edges towards Sands End and Parsons Green. This page sits inside the borough directory at End of Tenancy Cleaning Hammersmith and Fulham.

The report written on your first day is the bar on your last

Most people never see the mechanism, so they lose the deposit before they understand the game. When you moved in, a clerk walked the flat and wrote a check-in report describing every surface, nearly always with photos, and against the kitchen and bathroom it almost certainly read “clean to a professional standard” because the flat had just had one. At check-out a clerk walks it again and compares the two reports line by line. Anything materially worse than the check-in entry, past fair wear and tear, is fair game against your deposit. You are not being judged against tidy. You are being judged against a professional clean, which is why a mop and a spare Saturday rarely clears the bar.

The money is concrete. On the SW6 hand-backs we get called in to rescue, the deductions land in a pattern: the oven and its extractor, the limescale on the bathroom chrome, the grease behind a freestanding cooker, the picture-rail dust in a period reception, the channels of the original windows. Put a few of those against a two-bed here, where the rent runs north of £3,000 a month and the deposit follows it, and the sum answers itself. Most tenants only run it after they have tried the clean themselves, failed the check-out and lost the first round.

Why is the clerk so exacting in this corner of Fulham? Because the deposit is large and the agent has to account for it, so the inspection is genuinely adversarial and the clerk is paid to find faults, not to nod you through. That is not unfair. It just means you turn up with evidence rather than hope.

You are not being judged against tidy. You are being judged against a professional clean.

What 1 May 2026 changed, and what it did not

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 become a periodic tenancy, and a tenant can now give two months’ notice at any point in the year instead of waiting for a fixed term to end.

Here is the part people get wrong. The cleaning side of a move-out did not change at all. The check-in benchmark still applies. Your landlord still cannot make a professional clean a contractual condition under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, and the deposit still has to come back on the same terms it always did. What shifted is timing. SW6 was already a high-churn rental patch full of one and two-year professional lets; let people leave on a rolling two months and the move-outs get more frequent and far less predictable. The dull, money-saving takeaway: book the clean earlier than you think you need to, because the slot you want goes first.

The licensing question landlords ask us about

This one sits with your landlord rather than you, but it shapes how hard the hand-back is inspected, so it is worth a paragraph. Hammersmith and Fulham runs borough-wide additional HMO licensing from 5 June 2022 to 4 June 2027, covering houses in multiple occupation across the whole borough. Over the same dates the council runs selective licensing on 24 named streets, and several of them run straight through this patch: Fulham Road, North End Road, Dawes Road and Crookham Road among them.

None of that changes what a clerk asks for on the day. What it does mean is that a landlord on one of those streets is often sitting on a licence condition to return the property in proper lettable order, which makes the check-out stricter, not looser. We work the scheme most weeks and we clean to that bar by default.

What 300 ppm of Thames Water does to a Fulham bathroom

SW6 sits in Thames Water’s very hard supply, around 300 ppm calcium carbonate. On chrome and glass that reads as a fast white ring round the shower waste, a haze on the basin tap and a film where water sits at the bath spout between uses. A clerk checks for it deliberately: a thumbnail down the tap, the shower screen held edge-on to the light, the head pulled in close. Scale that has set into chrome is slow to shift, and in the period mansion flats the fittings are sometimes original, which rules out the harsh descalers a newer flat would shrug off.

We take it off with a mild descaler on chrome and ceramic, then hand-buff dry the same morning so it does not bloom back before the inspection. On stone or a marble surround we never use it; those get worked dry by hand. Grout is the other quiet decider here, more often than carpets, so we scrub the joints rather than wipe them and photograph anything genuinely past saving before we start.

SW6 1 street by street: the stock changes within a few hundred yards

Fulham Broadway is not one kind of flat. Walk it and the housing turns over every couple of streets, and each type hands the clerk a different list to check.

The mansion blocks between the station and the ground

Along Fulham Road towards Stamford Bridge you get the red-brick mansion blocks, four storeys, stone surrounds, a porter on some of them. The grandest is Sir Oswald Stoll Mansions at 446 Fulham Road, built as War Seal Mansions between 1917 and 1923 for wounded ex-servicemen and now Grade II listed. These flats come with deep built-in cupboards, integrated kitchens and a lot of chrome, and the managing agents on the bigger blocks often want our insurance certificate before they clear the booking.

Walham Green and the Moore Park terraces

West and south of the station is the older heart of the area, still locally called Walham Green, the name the tube stop carried until 1952. Walham Grove and the streets around Moore Park Road are late-Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into upper and lower flats since the 1980s with a shared front porch and stair. The Moore Park Conservation Area runs down towards Eel Brook Common, whose south-east edge follows New King’s Road. The check-out list here is all period detail: cornicing, picture rails, ceiling roses, cast-iron radiator covers, and timber window channels that hold two years of grit.

The Broadway itself and the post-war infill

Round the station the ground is changing. The old ticket office is becoming a Wetherspoon, the Grade II* former Fulham Town Hall opposite is being turned into a hotel, and an M&S and a relocated Aldi are moving into the Broadway centre. Behind that frontage sit post-war infill flats and a scatter of newer builds. Same checklist, scaled to the flat. We park at the rear of the centre and walk the kit in rather than fight the crowds at the front.

For the riverside new-builds out by Hammersmith Bridge we keep a separate page, our Fulham Reach end of tenancy page; the SW6 5 stretch towards Wandsworth Bridge is on the Sands End page, and Parsons Green and Walham Green pick up the streets either side. If you are not sure which side of a boundary your flat falls, ring 0333 555 2076 with the postcode and we will tell you.

The 57 things we work through, and the five that get us re-called

Every booking runs to the same 57-point agent-approved checklist, scaled to the flat. End of tenancy is the hand-back clean; a deep clean is for a home you are keeping; a regular clean is upkeep. The list below is the first of those, room by room.

• Kitchen, the extractor: wall-mounted canopy scraped back, mesh filter taken out, soaked, degreased and refitted, bulb cleaned.
• Kitchen, the cooker: oven cavity, racks, glass door split where it comes apart, runners and seal; on a freestanding cooker we pull it out and clean the wall and floor behind.
• Kitchen, the hob: gas trivets, ring caps and burner heads lifted and degreased, control knobs off and washed, silicone trim scraped and re-cleaned.
• Kitchen, the cold appliances: fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine cleaned through, drawers, seals, the detergent drawer out and scrubbed, and the door seal a clerk opens first.
• Kitchen, the rest: worktops polished streak-free, taps and waste descaled, splashback grout brushed, cupboard interiors and the finger-oiled under-edges, kickboards and floor edges.
• Bathrooms, the chrome: shower waste, basin tap, bath spout and rail descaled and buffed dry, rainfall head and hose.
• Bathrooms, the surfaces: screen both sides and its track, tiles wiped to the grout line, the silicone bead at the bath edge, floor tiles and reveals.
• Bathrooms, the fittings: WC inside the rim, hinges, flush plate and the floor behind the pan, vanity drawers, mirrored cabinet, extractor vent.
• Bedrooms: wardrobe interiors top to bottom, drawer runners, bed bases lifted, skirting, door tops, hinges and threshold strips.
• Bedrooms, the period detail: picture rails, ceiling rose, cornice line, dimmer plates and original timber doors both sides.
• Reception: picture-rail ledges cleared, cornice and ceiling rose, fireplace surround, the timber window channels and glazing bars, radiator covers lifted and the strip behind cast-iron originals.
• Throughout: light switches, sockets, intercom, thermostats, internal doors and frames, architraves, handles, hallway and airing-cupboard shelving.
• Last: floors mopped or buffed on the way out, the route running from the kitchen to the door so nothing gets walked back in.

A few things we quote separately, never folded into the base price: carpet cleaning on the bedrooms and the stair run of an upper-flat split, a second oven clean on a long-let cooker, and upholstery cleaning on a sofa where the tenancy ran past a couple of years.

Common reasons we get re-called

The 3% of jobs that miss first time get a free re-clean inside 48 hours. On Fulham Broadway flats the misses cluster around the same five things, which is why we put extra time on them up front.

• The extractor canopy and mesh. Skip the mesh and a clerk’s torch finds the grease up the canopy. Ours comes out, soaks, dries and goes back, every time.
• Scale shadows on chrome. The shower waste, basin tap and bath spout regrow a ring fast in this water. We descale and hand-buff dry the same morning so it does not return before the inspection.
• Picture-rail and cornice dust. A split period flat has ledges nobody has touched in two years. We brush them down and follow with a microfibre cloth.
• Window channels. The runners on original timber windows on Walham Grove and Moore Park Road silt up with grit. We brush, hoover and wipe the channel dry.
• The shared stair on an upper-flat split. The carpet between a lower and upper flat wears at the front edge of every tread. We vacuum and lift it, and shampoo where the let length warrants.

What it costs, and the sum nobody runs in time

Fulham Broadway is an affluent patch, but we price it at standard London rates, not a postcode premium. A period flat takes longer than a plain newer one the same size, and we plan the hours for that rather than charge extra for the privilege of cornicing.

Hourly cover, for a top-up rather than the full hand-back, is £30 per cleaner per hour with a two-cleaner minimum. Carpet shampoo runs £36 a bedroom, £43 for the reception, or £115 for a whole carpeted two-bed. Oven add-ons, more common on the freestanding cookers in the Walham Green terraces than the integrated ovens of the mansion blocks, are £77 single, £110 double and £114 for a 90cm range.

Run the sum the way the deposit does. A two-bed at £243 against a deposit built on a £3,000-a-month rent is not really a decision. Every booking carries a 48-hour re-clean guarantee: flag a cleanliness issue inside 48 hours, with nobody moved in, and we redo it free. Our first-time pass rate sits near 97%, but the guarantee is the real point, because a failed check-out at SW6 deposit levels is not something to shrug at. There is a reason the agents around the station know us: we are on the books of 300+ letting agents, and that work has helped tenants recover £1.2m in deposits that would otherwise have gone on cleaning deductions.

Three jobs get muddled, and it pays to book the right one.

End of tenancy clean

Built to pass the inventory and get the deposit back, flat empty, against the agent’s benchmark, with the 48-hour guarantee on it, at £30 an hour per cleaner.

Deep clean

A reset for a home you are staying in, lived-in, with no formal standard to hit, also from £30 an hour.

Regular domestic clean

Ongoing upkeep on a weekly or fortnightly visit, from £22 an hour weekly or £24 fortnightly.

One-off team clean

A standalone tidy-up by a small team, £26 an hour per cleaner with a £186 minimum, which is two cleaners for three hours plus the £30 kit charge.

A Moore Park Road job from this spring

“We handed back a one-bed mansion flat on Moore Park Road after three years, both of us working long hours, so the limescale on the shower and the bath had got away from us completely. Two cleaners came the morning the tenancy ended, took the chrome back to new, did the oven, and left a photo set we could send straight to the agent. KFH passed it first time and the full deposit was back inside a fortnight. We had braced ourselves for a fight and got none.”
Priya and Daniel, Moore Park Road SW6 3, April 2026

That is the usual shape of an SW6 job: a long-ish let, hard-water chrome nobody kept on top of, an agent who checks, and a dated photo set that closes the question before it opens. The clean cost a fraction of what was riding on it. It nearly always does.

Booking it without the month-end scramble

Fulham Broadway clusters its check-outs at month-end like everywhere in London, and the last two or three days go first. Book ahead for those. The steps are simple.

1. Ring 0333 555 2076. Give us the street, the floor, the bedroom count and the move-out date. Price on the call, no “someone will be in touch”.
2. We book you in, ideally the day before check-out. Allow seven to ten days for an end-of-month slot, three to five mid-month.
3. Flat empty when we arrive, furniture out and rubbish cleared, so we can reach every surface the clerk will.
4. Photo pack the same evening, every room before and after, with the checklist signed off. That is your evidence if anyone tries to deduct.
5. Anything flagged inside 48 hours, we come back and fix it free.

One honest note on parking. The CPZ covers SW6 1 most of the day and the bays are tight, so tell us the arrangement when you book, a visitor permit or a meter, and how we get in: concierge, key safe or an agent drop. On a Chelsea home day we plan around the closures near the ground and start early.

Questions we get asked

How much is end of tenancy cleaning in Fulham Broadway?

A studio is £156, a one-bed £207, a two-bed £243, a three-bed £339 and a four-bed £425. Those are full prices, not a teaser. For a few hours of top-up work rather than the whole hand-back it is £30 per hour per cleaner. Ring 0333 555 2076 with the floor and bedroom count and we price it on the call.

Do you cover the mansion flats off Fulham Road and the Walham Green conversions?

Yes. The red-brick mansion blocks between the station and Stamford Bridge and the split terraces around Walham Grove and Moore Park Road are most of what we do in SW6 1. We carry the products for period chrome, picture-rail dust and the timber window channels these flats are full of.

How long does a two-bed flat near Fulham Broadway take?

Usually four to six hours with two cleaners. A mansion-flat two-bed with cornicing, a picture rail in the reception and an extractor over a gas hob takes longer than a newer flat of the same floor area, because most of the work is by hand.

Will you clean the extractor over a gas hob?

Always. The mesh filter comes out and soaks, the canopy is scraped back, and the trivets, ring caps and silicone trim are done by hand before it all goes back. It is the single most common reason a kitchen fails first time, so on a long let we set aside the best part of two hours for it.

What is the 48-hour re-clean guarantee?

If the inventory clerk or the agent flags anything on cleanliness inside 48 hours of us finishing, we come back and put it right at no charge. It applies to every job, on the condition you tell us inside that window and nobody has moved in yet.

How hard is the water around SW6, and does it matter?

Very. Thames Water runs around 300 ppm calcium carbonate here, so chrome scales fast: the shower waste, basin tap and bath spout grow a white ring within days. We take it off with a mild descaler on chrome and ceramic and hand-buff dry, and we keep it well away from stone or marble.

Do you charge extra for cleaning period timber windows?

No. The channels, glazing bars and putty lines on original timber windows are in the base price, and so is the descale on hard-water marks on the glass. Carpet shampoo is the one add-on most jobs take, at £36 a bedroom or £43 for the reception.

Can you work around a Chelsea home game?

Yes, with a bit of planning. The streets close to Stamford Bridge get busy before kick-off and the District Line crowds build at the station, so on a match day we start early and aim to be loading the van before the ground fills. Tell us the date and we work the booking around the fixture.

Do you work with the letting agents around Fulham Broadway?

We are on the books of 300+ letting agents across London, and in SW6 that takes in the offices around the station, Foxtons, KFH and the rest. Sometimes the agent books us for the tenant; more often the tenant books and we copy the agent on the photo set.

What is your first-time pass rate?

97% across the company. The SW6 jobs sit at or above that, because the team that works these flats knows where a clerk shines the torch first: the extractor canopy, the chrome and the picture rails.

How much have your tenants got back in deposits?

£1.2m recovered for tenants since 2014. We photograph every clean and sign off the checklist, so if it ever goes to the deposit scheme the evidence is ready rather than scrambled together after the fact.

What if the landlord disputes the clean anyway?

If the work is to checklist standard and the photo set backs it up, most disputes settle before an adjudicator sees them. If yours does escalate, the scheme decides on evidence, and a complete dated photo pack is the strongest thing you can hand them.
