End of tenancy cleaning right across High Road West

How do you get a full deposit back on a fourteen-month let in a brand-new Lendlease apartment, where the build-to-rent operator has on-site staff who walk every flat with a torch the morning after you leave? You don’t take chances on the floor-to-ceiling glass. The High Road West regeneration sits right at the western edge of the Tottenham High Road, opposite Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and the first Lendlease blocks are now letting and re-letting on twelve to fourteen month cycles. Monster Cleaning has worked these new blocks since the first handovers, and the older High Road end-of-tenancy patch since 2014. Phone 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected]. Studio from £156. One-bed flat from £207. Two-bed from £243.

Last updated April 2026. We work the full High Road West regeneration footprint — from the Whitehall Street and Brereton Road frontage on the High Road, through the new Lendlease apartment blocks rising on the cleared Love Lane Estate site, across to Coombes Croft and Park Lane Plaza, and on to the Northumberland Park Overground edge. For borough-wide pricing and policy detail see our Haringey end of tenancy hub.

Why High Road West deposits get clipped

High Road West is the western half of the White Hart Lane ward, the strip running along the Tottenham High Road from Whitehall Street up to Brereton Road, opposite Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The whole patch is inside an active regeneration scheme run by the council and Lendlease, demolishing the 1960s Love Lane Estate (296 homes cleared between 2024 and 2026) and replacing it with a programme of around 2,500 new homes, a high-street square, a learning centre, a library and a leisure centre. The first Lendlease residential blocks have started letting; later phases are scheduled through 2030. The High Road frontage itself keeps a run of late-Victorian and Edwardian three-storey shop-with-flat-above units that survived the demolition footprint, plus a small number of split-flat conversions on Brereton Road and Whitehall Street.

Haringey private rents averaged £2,202 a month in December 2025, an annual rise of 4.7% from £2,103 (ONS Housing Prices Local for Haringey). High Road West sits a touch below the borough average for the older High Road flats and a touch above for the new Lendlease 1-beds, where finishes are higher and a small front balcony or Juliette glass rail is standard. Five weeks’ rent goes down as deposit. The inspection bar on a brand-new build is sharper than on a tired older let, because the operator has a reference photo set from move-in and any deviation from those shots reads as a deduction line.

Then there is the architecture itself. A typical High Road West Lendlease 1-bed has a kitchen and living-dining open plan along the window wall, with the glazing running floor-to-ceiling onto either a small balcony or a Juliette rail. The kitchen is fully integrated: AEG fridge-freezer behind a cabinet door, AEG induction hob, AEG combi oven, a fan-assisted extractor inside a cabinet pelmet, undermount sink in a quartz worktop. The bathroom is a wet-style shower room with a brushed-chrome mixer and a glass screen on a chrome runner. There is no plaster moulding anywhere in the flat. The cleaning brief shifts away from cornicing entirely and lands hard on the glass, the integrated cabinet seams and the MVHR ventilation grilles.

Glass is the deduction line.

Renters’ Rights Act 2025 and what changed on 1 May 2026

Section 21 no-fault evictions were abolished a week ago. The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 received Royal Assent on 27 October 2025 and Phase 1 commenced on 1 May 2026: rolling periodic tenancies replace fixed-term ASTs, Section 21 is gone, and rent rises go through the Section 13 (Form 4A) process. The deposit-return route is the cleanest exit: a clean move-out, a documented inspection, deposit back, you walk. For a Lendlease BTR operator, the inventory carries more weight than ever, because possession routes have narrowed and the deposit dispute is the main lever left. Tenants in dispute should review options with the relevant scheme: Tenancy Deposit Scheme, mydeposits, or the Deposit Protection Service. BTR operators tend to use one custodial scheme across a whole block, and the standard form they file is unforgiving on photographs.

Haringey Council’s selective and additional licensing regime

The High Road West patch sits inside Haringey’s selective property licensing scheme. The scheme designates fourteen wards on the eastern side of the borough, including White Hart Lane (which contains the High Road West regeneration footprint), Northumberland Park, Tottenham Central, Tottenham Hale, Bruce Castle, Seven Sisters and West Green, and started on 17 November 2022, running five years to 16 November 2027. Any private landlord renting out a single-household or two-sharer flat in the designated wards needs a selective licence; failure to license is a civil penalty offence under the Housing Act 2004. The fee is £680 per property in two instalments, with a £50 discount for accredited landlords and a further £50 if the property holds an EPC at A, B or C. The new Lendlease blocks all sit at EPC B or A, so the discount tends to apply across the block in one filing. Separately, Haringey runs a borough-wide additional licensing scheme for HMOs of three or four unrelated sharers, and the mandatory five-or-more HMO regime under the Housing Act sits over the top.

Practical effect on cleaning: licensed flats and BTR-operated apartments get inspected more closely than unlicensed lets used to be. On the new build-to-rent blocks the operator runs its own inventory clerk in tandem with any council oversight, so the move-out walk is more thorough than a private landlord on the older High Road frontage would manage. We price common parts as standard rooms; you are not paying double for the apartment door area or the corridor strip outside.

What’s particular about cleaning a Lendlease 1-bed apartment on High Road West

Three things, in the order they cost cleaners time. First, the floor-to-ceiling glass and the Juliette balcony rail. The glazing on a typical High Road West 1-bed runs from a hidden bottom track behind the laminate to the soffit at the ceiling line, in two or three panes per bay. A glass-only smear shows clearly against the morning light off the High Road, and the operator’s reference shot at move-in is taken in exactly that light. We do the inside face with a soft microfibre and a streak-free finish, then a separate pass on the lower 18 inches where every previous tenant has wiped with whatever was nearest. The Juliette rail itself sits between the glass and the open air, and the lower flange of the chrome rail catches dust off the High Road. Second, the integrated AEG kitchen. The fridge, freezer, dishwasher and combi oven all sit behind matching cabinet doors, with a magnetic catch on most. We pull the doors, clean the appliance face properly (the fan-pull on the AEG combi sits at the top edge and grease creeps to it), then re-seat the cabinet panel. The induction hob gets a separate pass with a dedicated glass-ceramic cream, not a kitchen spray. The integrated extractor inside the cabinet pelmet has its grease filter pulled and tray-soaked. Third, the MVHR extract grilles in the bathroom and the kitchen ceiling. The mechanical ventilation system runs continuously in BTR blocks, and the white plastic grille faces collect a fine grey film that is invisible at first glance but shows up against a torch. We pull each grille, wash it in warm water, dry it and re-seat with the correct rotation arrow.

“Fourteen months in a corner-facing 1-bed in one of the new Lendlease blocks on High Road West, originally signed through Hunters in early 2025. Single tenant, I work in the matchday operations team at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, so the flat was a five-minute walk to the gate. The flat had floor-to-ceiling glass on two walls, north and east, with a Juliette rail running along the east window. I had cleaned the glass myself once a fortnight for a year and it never looked right. The check-out clerk had named the glass specifically in our pre-walk email, because the operator’s move-in reference photos are taken with morning light coming straight off the High Road and any film shows. Monster came on a Wednesday morning, two cleaners, six and a half hours. The team leader did the entire glass run with a soft microfibre and a separate dry buff in 18-inch sections, then they pulled every cabinet panel on the integrated AEG kitchen, hand-washed the appliance faces, and re-seated the panels with the magnetic catches lined up properly. The induction hob got a glass-ceramic cream, not a kitchen spray. The MVHR grille in the bathroom came out, soaked, dried, went back. The clerk walked the flat the next morning. He took fresh photos in the same morning light. He signed off without a re-visit. I got the full £1,795 deposit back through the Tenancy Deposit Scheme custodial route inside eleven days. The clean cost £207.” — Daniel, High Road West N17 8, March 2026

Coverage area

We work the full High Road West regeneration footprint and the surviving older frontage either side. The streets and zones we book most often:

• The new Lendlease apartment blocks on the cleared Love Lane Estate land. First-phase blocks rising at the High Road / Whitehall Street corner and along the new internal streets being cut through the site
• The High Road itself between Whitehall Street and Brereton Road, west side; surviving late-Victorian and Edwardian shop-with-flat-above stock that was kept out of the demolition footprint
• Brereton Road and Whitehall Street, older split-flat conversions and a handful of post-war infill
• Coombes Croft and Park Lane Plaza, the council-built replacement homes for displaced Love Lane tenants on land at the southern end of the regeneration
• The High Road frontage opposite Tottenham Hotspur Stadium between the southern end of the stadium plot and the corner of Worcester Avenue: matchday-edge flats with extra footfall fifteen Saturdays a year
• Northumberland Park Overground station and the streets running back toward Park Lane, the eastern fringe of the regeneration zone
• The 149, 259 and 279 bus routes along the High Road into and out of the Stadium gate area

What’s included in our High Road West end of tenancy clean

End of tenancy is the hand-back clean, fixed price, agent-facing, the 57-point agent-approved checklist applied throughout, the 48-hour re-clean guarantee on top.

Common reasons we get re-called on a High Road West clean

Roughly 3 in 100 jobs come back to us under the 48-hour re-clean guarantee. The patterns we see on the new Lendlease blocks specifically:

1. A streak ghost on the lower 18 inches of the floor-to-ceiling glass, only visible in the strong eastern morning light off the High Road. We over-buff the bottom strip on second visits, no charge.
2. A cabinet panel re-seated half a millimetre off-square so the magnetic catch reads as proud against the next panel. We re-pull and re-seat each integrated panel against the soft-close hinge.
3. The MVHR grille on the bathroom ceiling re-seated with the rotation arrow flipped, so the airflow whistles. We pull, rotate, re-seat.
4. A halo of descaler residue on the brushed-chrome basin mixer where the dwell time was right but the polish pass wasn’t dry-finished. We re-polish with a dry microfibre.
5. Sock fluff caught at the threshold strip between the laminate and the bathroom tile. We pull the strip-edge fluff with a fine pick before the second mop.

What it costs on High Road West

High Road West sits inside our standard London tier. The pricing below is the full agent-approved end of tenancy service, fixed price not hourly, with the 57-point agent-approved checklist applied and the 48-hour re-clean guarantee included. No VAT add-on, no fuel surcharge, no extra for the ground-floor or upper-floor block access on the new Lendlease blocks.

Add-ons

• Carpet shampoo — £36 per bedroom, £43 per living room, £115 whole-2-bed package (most BTR 1-beds are laminate throughout, so this is a 2-bed corner-unit ask only)
• Single oven deep clean (already in standard EOT, listed for reference) — £77
• Double oven deep clean — £110
• Range cooker 90cm — £114
• Floor-to-ceiling glass full-height pass with separate streak-free buff — included on every Lendlease apartment booking at no extra charge
• External window-glass exterior reach — quoted on site for the upper-floor blocks, where on most floors only the operator’s licensed-access team can reach the outside face

For comparison, the National Living Wage moved to £12.71 an hour in April 2026 (gov.uk minimum wage rates). Our £23/hour bespoke rate covers two cleaners working in tandem with full kit.

What your High Road West agent or BTR operator will actually check

This list is built from feedback we get back from Hunters Tottenham at 696 High Road, Castles, Anthony Pepe, Foxtons Tottenham and KFH, plus the Lendlease BTR check-out team and the inventory clerks who walk the older frontage. Order matters — top of the list is what gets failed most often on the new build-to-rent blocks.

1. Floor-to-ceiling glass film on the lower 18-inch strip, only visible in morning light off the High Road — the BTR clerk’s first stop, every time
2. Integrated AEG kitchen cabinet panels — magnet alignment, panel face cleanliness behind the door, fan-pull edge of the combi oven
3. Induction hob residue from over-spray of standard kitchen cleaner instead of glass-ceramic cream
4. MVHR extract grilles in bathroom and kitchen ceilings — the white plastic face that holds invisible film
5. Brushed-chrome basin and shower mixers — descaler residue halo where the polish pass was not dry-finished
6. Quartz worktop seal at the undermount sink rim — soap film on the silicone bead
7. Threshold strips between laminate and bathroom tile — sock fluff at the edge
8. Juliette rail chrome flange — High Road traffic film on the lower upright
9. Smart-thermostat face and intercom panel — finger-marks pretty much guaranteed
10. Underside of the integrated extractor pelmet at the cabinet line — grease creep above the hob
11. WC base seal where it meets the tile — mop-residue ring
12. Heated towel rail bracket back — hot-water mineral splash on the wall side
13. Skirting below the floor-to-ceiling glass — condensation residue in winter
14. Pre-existing scuff marks on the entrance corridor wall outside the door — not your responsibility, but raise it on the inventory walk so it isn’t your deduction

How booking works

1. Phone 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected]. Tell us the postcode, the bedroom count, your move-out date, and whether the flat is in one of the new Lendlease blocks or in the older High Road frontage.
2. We confirm a fixed quote on the call. Carpet add-on, oven type, glass-only buff for floor-to-ceiling apartments, MVHR grille pull, parking on the High Road or BTR-block visitor permit hours, key-card or fob handover — all talked through then.
3. We email a written confirmation with the start time and the team lead’s name.
4. The team arrives, usually two to three cleaners depending on size. They work to the 57-point agent-approved checklist. Photos are taken on completion if you want them for the deposit file — useful where the operator’s reference photos at move-in were taken in specific morning light and you need a matching set.
5. The inventory clerk or BTR check-out team attends within 48 hours. If they flag anything that is on our checklist, we come back free under the 48-hour re-clean guarantee. If they flag something outside the checklist (a pre-existing scuff on the corridor wall, a chip in the worktop from before you moved in), that is an inventory dispute, not a clean issue, but we will back you up with our photos.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost on High Road West?

From £156 for a studio, £207 for a 1-bed Lendlease apartment with floor-to-ceiling glass and an integrated AEG kitchen, £243 for a 2-bed corner unit or a Brereton Road conversion, £339 for a 3-bed and £425 for a 4-bed townhouse or four-share HMO. Carpet shampoo and double-oven add-ons are priced separately.

How long does the clean take?

A 1-bed Lendlease apartment usually takes two cleaners six to seven hours, with the floor-to-ceiling glass and the integrated AEG kitchen being the longest single tasks. A 2-bed corner unit runs seven to eight hours. Studios are usually done in a long morning. We do not rush by the clock; we work to the checklist.

Do you guarantee my deposit back?

We can’t guarantee the deposit because the inventory has many lines we don’t touch (paint, wear and tear, the operator’s furniture). What we guarantee is the cleaning side: if the inventory clerk or the BTR check-out team flags any cleaning issue within 48 hours of our visit, we come back at no charge under the 48-hour re-clean guarantee. 97% first-time pass rate.

Are you insured?

Yes. Public liability cover is in place at £5m. We are Monster Cleaning Ltd, Companies House number 9919639, trading since 2014. Insurance certificate available on request. Lendlease and the larger BTR operators on the regeneration ask for a copy on file.

Do I need to be there on the day?

No. Most of our High Road West clients drop a key-card or fob with the building concierge or with their letting agent — Hunters Tottenham at 696 High Road is a common drop-off, with Castles and KFH close behind. We send a written check-out report by email when we leave.

Do you bring all the cleaning products?

Yes. Everything from the descaler we use on Hornsey Treatment Works hard supply, to the glass-ceramic cream for the AEG induction hob, to the soft microfibres for the floor-to-ceiling glass and the streak-free dry buff. You don’t need to leave anything behind.

Can you clean a property while it is still partly furnished?

Better if it is empty, but we will work around stored furniture if it is confined to one room. We cannot reach the floor-to-ceiling glass behind a sofa pushed up against it, and the inventory clerk will see the difference, so try to clear the window walls if you can.

Do you cover the new Lendlease apartment blocks specifically?

Yes. We have worked the new High Road West blocks since the first handovers. The floor-to-ceiling glass full-height pass, the integrated AEG kitchen with cabinet-panel pulls, the MVHR extract grille pull, the brushed-chrome mixer descale-and-polish, the quartz worktop seal at the undermount sink rim — we know the property type. If your apartment is a corner unit with glass on two walls, tell us at booking so we send a team that has done the morning-light glass run before.

Do you handle HMO common parts under Haringey’s licensing schemes?

We do. HMO common parts (front door area, communal corridor, shared kitchen, shared bathroom) get priced as standard rooms. The selective scheme covers the White Hart Lane ward where High Road West sits, and runs to 16 November 2027. The borough-wide additional licensing scheme covers HMOs of three or four sharers. Both add paperwork at the council end but the cleaning standard at hand-back is the same.

What about hard-water scale on the brushed-chrome mixers?

North London water on the Thames Water network is very hard, around 293 ppm calcium carbonate, with Hornsey Treatment Works on Hornsey High Street the local works (Thames Water hard water page). Brushed-chrome mixers, shower screens, kettle elements and washing-machine drawers need a dilute weak-acid soak with proper dwell time, then a dry-finished polish. Brushed-chrome shows a halo at the wrong angle if the polish pass is rushed. Our team carries all of it.

Can you reach the MVHR grilles in the ceiling?

Yes. We bring a small step and a Phillips driver. The bathroom and kitchen ceiling grilles on a Lendlease apartment pull off with a quarter-turn and a gentle prise; the white plastic face washes in warm water with a soft brush, then dries fully before we re-seat. There is a small printed arrow on the back of the face for the airflow direction — we line it up before we re-seat, because if the arrow is flipped the system whistles and the BTR check-out team will hear it on their walk.

What’s the 48-hour re-clean guarantee?

If the BTR check-out team or inventory clerk flags any cleaning issue within 48 hours of our visit, we send a team back at no extra charge to put it right. We have had to use it on roughly 3 in 100 jobs since 2014. Across our books to date that is £1.2m of deposits recovered for tenants we have cleaned for, working with 300+ letting agents on rolling rotas.

How quickly can you book me in?

Usually 48 to 72 hours’ notice across N17 8. Same-day is sometimes possible if a team is finishing nearby in the same Lendlease block or on Brereton Road; phone the office to ask. Matchday Saturdays at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium can complicate access through the High Road, so we plan around the kick-off where we can.
