The first page of a check-in inventory on a Brackenbury flat almost always reads “as new” against the kitchen and bathroom, because the place had just been professionally cleaned the day you signed. That single line is what your deposit is later marked against. So this is what end-of-tenancy cleaning around Hammersmith Broadway has to be: a clean built to match the schedule of condition the clerk wrote on day one, run room by room to a fixed list, priced from £156 and charged at £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 W6 postcodes around the town centre and Brackenbury, with W6 9 at the core and the W6 0 and W6 7 streets running up towards Ravenscourt Park. This page sits inside the borough directory at End of Tenancy Cleaning Hammersmith & Fulham.
The schedule of condition is the standard you are held to
Begin with the document, because hardly anyone reads it twice and it decides everything. When you moved in, a clerk walked the flat with a camera and wrote a schedule of condition: a line for every surface, a photo for most, the words “new” or “as new” against the kitchen and bathroom. Those words were honest on the day. At check-out a clerk walks the same flat and compares it against that record. Anything materially worse than the move-in entry, past fair wear and tear, can be docked from your deposit. You are not judged against tidy. You are judged against a professional clean, photographed, on a dated report.
The money is not vague either. On the DIY check-outs we get called in to rescue, the deductions fall into a familiar shape: £80 to £120 on the oven, £70 to £150 on bathroom limescale and grout, £60 to £100 for the gaps behind the appliances, £150 to £300 on carpets, £70 to £200 for marks on walls and skirting. Set that against a one-bed deposit running close to £2,250 in W6 and the sum makes itself. Most tenants only do that sum after they have tried, failed the first walk-through, and lost the opening round. The opening round is the cheap one to win.
Why so exacting? The deposit is large and the agent is the one accountable for protecting it, so the inspection is genuinely adversarial and the clerk is paid to find the fault. That is not unfairness. It means you arrive with evidence, not hope. Once deductions are agreed, the scheme has to return what is yours within 10 days under the tenancy deposit protection rules, so a clean that clears the report first time is also the fastest way to see your own money again.
What 1 May 2026 did, and did not, change
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 into a periodic tenancy, so a tenant can give two months’ notice at any point rather than waiting for a fixed term to end.
Here is the bit people get wrong. The cleaning side of a move-out did not move an inch. The check-in benchmark still stands. The deposit maths is exactly what it was the week before. What changed is timing.
This was already a high-turnover patch, thick with one-year professional lets and flats above the King Street shops. Let people leave on a rolling two months instead of a fixed date and the move-outs get more frequent and far less predictable, so the month-end pile-up that already clogs W6 will not ease off. The practical takeaway is dull and pays for itself: book the clean earlier than you used to, because the slot you want goes first.
The cleaning side of a move-out did not move an inch.
The 57 things we work through, room by room
Every booking here runs to a 57-point agent-approved checklist, built over a decade of local check-outs and tuned to what the clerks on this side of W6 actually flag. The full list comes with the job, or we walk you through it first. Here is the shape of it.
The kitchen, where most of the deposit goes
The oven is stripped, not wiped. Racks soak in a tank, the door glass is split apart so the brown film between the panels comes out, and the cavity, fan, element and seals are all done. On the Brackenbury terraces the cooker is usually freestanding gas, so we pull it out and clean the wall and floor behind it; in the newer blocks near the Broadway it is an integrated electric oven we already know the quirks of. If the oven is the only thing the agent pulled you up on, standalone oven cleaning in Hammersmith Broadway covers it on its own. Then the rest: hob rings and burner caps off and washed, cast trivets degreased, the extractor canopy done and its mesh filter soaked and refitted. Every cupboard inside and out, including the deep awkward corners in the older Bradmore Park Road kitchens. Fridge, freezer and dishwasher cleaned through, seals and filters included. The washing machine drum, the detergent drawer, and the door seal, which is the first thing a clerk opens. Sink, taps and plughole descaled, because the water here never gives that a miss. Tiles and grout brushed, bin recess sanitised, floor edges last.
Bathrooms, the other place it slips
Scale comes off the taps, shower head, screen and tiles first. Grout is scrubbed back as far as honest effort takes it, and photographed first where it is clearly past saving. Then the rest, in plain order.
- Toilet done properly: inside, under the rim, the base, the cistern, the hinges, and behind the pedestal where only the clerk looks
- Shower screen both sides, the tracks and the sealant bead included
- Bath, taps, the underside of the taps, the overflow and the plughole
- Mirrors and cabinets, and behind them where they come away from the wall
- Extractor vent wiped and the sealant cleaned, the part a small north-facing back-addition bathroom needs most
- Floor into the corners, behind the loo and under the basin
Bedrooms, living rooms and the bits between
Inside every wardrobe, drawer and built-in cupboard. Skirting, door frames, handles and finger plates. Light fittings, lampshades, switches, and the ceiling roses, which in a Brackenbury front reception hold years of dust and always get checked. Window sills, reveals and frames inside, with the original timber windows on the conservation-area terraces needing slow work around the channels and cords. Picture rails and cornicing, which the inventory on a period flat lists by name. Radiators behind, under and on top; the cast-iron originals take longer than a modern panel. Walls spot-wiped for marks, with a fair line drawn, because nail holes and scuffs are a decorator’s bill and not yours to scrub. Hard floors washed with the right product. Upholstery vacuumed through.
Two of these often want their own pass. Hot-water carpet extraction is written into a fair few W6 tenancies as a hard requirement, which the carpet cleaning in Hammersmith Broadway add-on covers on the same visit. Hard-used sofas in shared professional lets sometimes need full upholstery cleaning, where a vacuum will not cut it.
Then everything else: sockets, switches, thermostats and entryphones; internal doors both sides; the stairs and bannisters on an upper-flat split, where the carpet edge on the front of each tread is its own flagged item. Cobwebs out of the ceiling corners. Then a final walk-through, photographed before and after, every room. That photo set is the evidence you keep.
What 337 ppm tap water does to a King Street bathroom
The town centre sits in Thames Water’s hard-water zone, and W6 runs around 337 ppm calcium carbonate, well above the 205 ppm English average. That one fact loses more deposits here than anything except the oven. Calcium sets on taps, shower heads, screens and tile joints faster than tenants expect, and a wipe with a cloth does nothing to it. The clerk checks on purpose: a thumbnail down the tap, the shower screen held edge-on to the light, the shower head pulled in close. Scale bonded into chrome is slow work, and on a refurbished Hammersmith Grove bathroom the fittings can be original chrome or polished brass, which rules out the brute-force descalers a flat above a King Street shop would shrug off.
Grout is the other one. Kitchen and bathroom grout is the line between a pass and a deduction here more often than carpets are. We scrub it, we do not wipe it. Where it is genuinely past saving, which happens on a long Brackenbury let, we photograph the state before we start, so the clerk cannot bill you for wear that was already there at check-in. That photo has settled more disputes than any argument has. It is dated and timestamped, and a clerk cannot charge for grout that was already grey in the move-in pictures.
That photo has settled more disputes than any argument has.
Specialist surfaces sit outside the scrub-and-go work. A stripped pine floor in a Bradmore Park Road conversion, an encaustic-tiled hallway on Trussley Road, an engineered board in a Broadway new-build: each takes its own product, which is what the floor cleaning add-on is for. Internal glass on a flat that looks straight onto the King Street parade is a quick separate job, folded into the same visit when the inventory asks.
Brackenbury to the Broadway: the stock changes street by street
This is the busy core of Hammersmith, not the riverside, and the housing changes character in a few hundred metres. A flat above a shop on King Street and a family terrace tucked into Brackenbury Village share a postcode and almost nothing else. Different surfaces, different products, different things the clerk is briefed to look for. We work it in three bands.
Brackenbury Village: the conservation-area terraces
Brackenbury sits in the block between Goldhawk Road, King Street, Hammersmith Grove and Ravenscourt Park, and most of it is in the Bradmore conservation area. It went up fast after the Hammersmith and City Railway arrived in 1864, and the streetscape was near complete by 1890: rows of late-Victorian and Edwardian terraces on Brackenbury Road, Bradmore Park Road, Aldensley Road, Dalling Road and Trussley Road, a lot of them split into an upper and a lower flat. These are the longest tenancies on this side of the borough, often a young family, and the period detail is the work: picture rails, cornicing, ceiling roses, original timber windows and sometimes an encaustic hallway floor. The conservation status keeps those features in place, so the check-out clean has to match them by hand, and nothing aggressive goes near original paint, plaster or timber. Pick your patch nearby: Brook Green, Ravenscourt Park and Shepherd’s Bush all run off the edges of this grid.
King Street and Hammersmith Grove: flats above shops and mansion blocks
King Street is the main shopping street, and a good slice of our work is the flats above the shops along it, reached up a shared stair with the parade noise underneath. Hammersmith Grove runs north from the Broadway as a long parade of red-brick mansion blocks, four storeys with stone surrounds, a porter or managing agent, and brass door furniture that shows every fingerprint under the hall spotlights. A managing-agent block usually wants our insurance certificate before clearing the booking, which we send across. One thing worth naming for landlords, not tenants: King Street and Goldhawk Road both clip the council’s selective licensing scheme, which has run since 5 June 2022 and is set to run to June 2027 across 24 named streets, four of them in W6. It does not change what a clerk asks for at hand-back, but a King Street landlord may carry a licence condition to return the flat in lettable order, which is the clean we are doing.
The Broadway itself: the newer blocks and the interchange
Right at the Broadway the stock turns modern: infill flats near the Town Hall and the shopping centre, integrated kitchens, engineered floors, the odd balcony. These clean faster and we scale the price down accordingly. The complication here is never the flat, it is the ground around it. The Broadway is a transport interchange with two separate Hammersmith Underground stations, the Piccadilly and District lines in the shopping-centre complex and the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines in a second station you reach by the underpass, with the bus station stacked above. Add the Lyric at Lyric Square and the Eventim Apollo on Queen Caroline Street, and the pavements get heavy at certain hours, which we plan a move-out around.
Boundaries get blurry on the fringes and people guess wrong. The riverside end of W6, down towards the Thames, is a different patch with different stock and sits on its own page. Not sure which side of Hammersmith you are on? Ring 0333 555 2076 with the postcode and we will tell you in about ten seconds.
What it costs, and the sum nobody runs in time
| Property | Typical duration | Estimated cost |
|---|---|---|
| Studio (flat above a King Street shop) | 3-4 hours, 1 cleaner | From £156 |
| 1-bed flat (Brackenbury upper or lower split) | 4-5 hours, 2 cleaners | From £207 |
| 2-bed conversion (Bradmore Park Road, Trussley Road) | 5-7 hours, 2 cleaners | From £243 |
| 3-bed flat or mansion-block flat (Hammersmith Grove) | 6-8 hours, 2 cleaners | From £339 |
| 4-bed period terrace (Brackenbury family house) | 8-10 hours, 2-3 cleaners | From £425 |
| Carpet cleaning add-on | Same visit | From £36 per room |
| Oven-only clean | 1.5-2 hours | From £77 |
Hammersmith Broadway runs at our standard London pricing: £30 per hour per cleaner, with kit, products and travel inside the area included. Those figures assume a flat in normal lived-in shape. A long tenancy with heavy wear, a pet household or a smoker’s flat costs more, and we say so on the phone rather than after the fact. No surprise lines on the invoice.
Run the maths the way the deposit makes you. A one-bed at £207 to protect a deposit north of £2,000 is not really a decision. Every booking here carries a 48-hour re-clean guarantee: if the agent flags any cleanliness issue inside 48 hours, we come back and redo it free, provided you tell us inside that window and nobody has moved in. Our work sits near a 97% first-time pass rate, but the guarantee is the real point. There is a reason the agents on this side of the borough know us. We are on the books of 300+ letting agents, and over the years that work has helped tenants hold on to £1.2m deposits recovered that would otherwise have gone on deductions. That number is the whole job: money that stays with the tenant.
A Brackenbury Road job from February
“We had the lower flat of an Edwardian terrace on Brackenbury Road for three years, two kids and a dog by the end of it. I was dreading the check-out, mostly the kitchen floor and the dog hair worked into the stair carpet, and there was a clause about professional carpet cleaning I had completely forgotten. Two cleaners came the morning we handed back, did the whole flat, shampooed the carpets and the stairs, and pulled the cooker out to do behind it. Dexters did the walk-through that afternoon and signed it off on the spot. Full deposit back, eight days later. I would have lost a chunk of that doing it myself.”
Priya, Brackenbury Road W6, February 2026
That is the Brackenbury pattern: a long family let, a tired kitchen floor, pet hair in a stair carpet, a forgotten carpet clause, and an agent who checks. The clean cost a fraction of what was on the table. It usually does.
Booking it, around the bus station and the show nights
The town centre clusters its check-outs hard at month-end, the slots go, and people who ring on the 29th for the 31st are often out of luck. Book early for those windows. The steps are simple.
- Ring 0333 555 2076. Price in about three minutes. Give us the postcode, property size, check-out date and any known problem areas, and mention anything the move-in report marked “new” or “as new”.
- We book you in, ideally the day before check-out. Allow 7 to 10 days for an end-of-month slot, 3 to 5 days mid-month.
- Flat empty when we arrive. Furniture out, personal things gone, rubbish cleared. We also do removals if you want the move and the clean on one booking, which helps on the tight permit streets off King Street.
- Photo proof at the end. Every room, before and after, with an itemised invoice on company-headed paper. That is your evidence pack if the check-out tries to deduct.
- Check-out happens. Anything flagged inside 48 hours, we come back and fix it free.
Two honest notes on the day. Parking around the Broadway is controlled and the bays are tight, so tell us the arrangement when you book, and how we get in past a porter on the mansion blocks. And if your check-out lands on an Eventim Apollo show night, we will move the job to the morning, because the roads on Queen Caroline Street and the pavements around the bus station get heavy from early evening and a loaded van does not enjoy it.
Four jobs people muddle, and which one this is
Four different cleans get mixed up here, and it is worth booking the right one.
- Check-in inventory report
- The schedule of condition the clerk writes on day one, describing every surface with photos. It is the benchmark your check-out is judged against, which is why we clean to it and not to a vague idea of “clean”.
- End-of-tenancy clean
- Built to match that inventory and get the deposit back, with the flat empty and the 48-hour guarantee on it, at £30 an hour per cleaner.
- Deep clean
- A deep clean resets a home you are keeping, with no formal standard to hit, also from £30 an hour.
- Regular domestic clean
- A regular domestic clean in Hammersmith Broadway is ongoing maintenance, from £22 an hour on a weekly visit.
We work the areas around the town centre too, which matters when your next flat is one over: End of Tenancy Cleaning Brook Green, End of Tenancy Cleaning Ravenscourt Park, End of Tenancy Cleaning Shepherd’s Bush and the riverside at End of Tenancy Cleaning Hammersmith Bridge.
Questions we get asked
How much is end-of-tenancy cleaning around Hammersmith Broadway?
A studio starts at £156, a one-bed at £207, a two-bed at £243, a three-bed at £339 and a four-bed period terrace at £425. By-the-hour cover, if you only need a top-up rather than a full hand-back, is £30 per cleaner per hour. Carpet and oven add-ons sit on top: carpet from £36 a room, a single oven from £77.
Do I really need a professional clean to get my deposit back?
You are allowed to do it yourself; nobody can make professional cleaning a contractual condition. The catch is the benchmark. The schedule of condition was set by a professional clean on your first day, and your check-out is marked against that exact record. With W6 deposits running above £2,000, the maths usually points one way.
Does the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 change anything for tenants here?
From 1 May 2026, Section 21 evictions are abolished and every assured shorthold tenancy in England converts to a periodic tenancy, so tenants can give two months’ notice at any point. The cleaning obligations at end of tenancy do not change at all. The real effect around the town centre is more frequent and less predictable move-outs, so book as early as you can.
Do you cover Brackenbury Village and the conservation-area terraces?
Yes, every week. Brackenbury Road, Bradmore Park Road, Aldensley Road, Dalling Road and Trussley Road are core streets for us. We carry the right products for original timber windows, picture-rail and cornice dust, and the tiled hallways, and we keep anything aggressive away from original paint and plaster on a Bradmore conservation-area flat.
What about a mansion-block flat on Hammersmith Grove?
Those take a bit longer, usually five to seven hours with two cleaners. The brass door furniture, the original cornicing in the front reception and the timber window channels each want a slower pass that the inventory clerk specifically looks at. The managing agent often asks for our insurance certificate first, and we send it over before the job.
How long does a one-bed split flat in Brackenbury take?
Roughly four to five hours with two cleaners. The picture rails, cornicing, original timber windows and the stair-edge carpet add hand-time over a more modern flat of the same size.
Is a flat above a King Street shop inside the council licensing scheme?
It may be. The council runs a selective licensing scheme that started on 5 June 2022 and is set to run to June 2027 across 24 named streets, and King Street and Goldhawk Road both clip the edge of it. That is a landlord obligation, not a tenant one, and it does not change what the clerk checks at hand-back.
How do you handle the hard-water marks in W6?
W6 sits in Thames Water’s hard zone at around 337 ppm calcium carbonate, against an English average near 205 ppm, so scale on the taps, shower head and screen is the second most common deduction after the oven. We use a mild scale solution on chrome, glass and ceramic, and we never put it on stone or marble, where we hand-buff dry instead.
Is carpet cleaning always needed?
Often, on the longer family lets in Brackenbury. A lot of W6 tenancies write in a clause requiring professional hot-water extraction with a receipt at check-out. If that clause is in your agreement and you skip it, the deduction is close to automatic, so it is usually cheaper to add it to the same visit.
Which letting agents do you work with around here?
We are on the books of 300+ letting agents across London, and around Hammersmith that means regular work with Dexters on King Street, Foxtons, Winkworth, Hamptons, Marsh & Parsons, Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward and several W6 independents. Where an agent has its own inventory requirements, the cleaners are briefed on them.
How does parking and access work near the Broadway?
The streets around the Broadway are controlled-parking-zone and run paid most of the day. We confirm the arrangement at booking, and sort building access in advance, whether that is a porter, a key safe or an agent drop-off. On the side streets off King Street the bays are tight, so a heads-up helps.
Can you handle the newer blocks near the Town Hall?
Yes. The integrated kitchens, engineered-wood floors and balcony glazing on the modern infill near the Town Hall are part of our regular round here. Same checklist, same pricing tiers, scaled to the flat, and these usually clean faster than the period stock.
What happens if my landlord disputes the clean after a re-clean?
Escalate to your deposit scheme’s free adjudication, whether that is the TDS, the DPS or mydeposits. Our invoice, dated photo report and re-clean record are admissible evidence, and a tenant with a complete professional-clean paper trail very rarely loses. Shelter’s deposit guidance walks through the steps if you need them.
Does the property need to be empty?
Yes, fully empty is strongly preferred. Furniture left behind blocks access and creates uncertainty at the check-out. A single piece left for the next tenant can be worked around, but the more that stays, the less complete the clean.
