Prices for Kew homes, in brief
Close to half the homes in Kew are flats, going by the last census to count them by type, and the rest are Victorian terraces, interwar semis and the Georgian houses round Kew Green. Whichever one you are handing back, our end of tenancy clean has a fixed price by bedrooms: £156 for a studio, £207 for one bedroom, £243 for two, £339 for three and £425 for four.

Ovens and carpets are extras, priced further down. Your own figure, with any parking cost, comes from the calculator at the top of the page.
Kew property types compared
At the 2011 census Kew ward had 2,268 flats, 1,212 terraced houses, 1,029 semis and 426 detached houses. Most of it was built in two bursts: in the late 19th century after the District line arrived, and in the 1920s and 1930s, when houses went up on the old market gardens of North Sheen.
Kew Riverside added the newest layer at the turn of the century. The table matches each type to the price and to the part of the job that takes the time.
| Home | Where in Kew | Price | Where the time goes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bed flat | Over the shops near Kew Gardens station, or a converted Victorian house | £156 or £207 | Kitchen grease, the bathroom fan, stairs from a street door |
| One- or two-bed flat | Kew Riverside blocks by the Thames | £207 or £243 | Large windows and balcony doors, integrated kitchen, glass shower screen |
| Two- or three-bed terrace | The Priory Estate, east of the Green | £243 or £339 | Two floors of stairs, bay windows and sashes |
| Three-bed semi | Mortlake Road and the North Kew streets | £339 | Garden doors, more floor area, often a through lounge |
| Four-bed house | Victorian villas on Kew Road, houses on Kew Green | £425 | Three storeys, tall sashes, more than one bathroom |
| Town house of five bedrooms or more | The larger Kew Riverside houses | quoted from the room count | Four floors, several bathrooms |
| A room in a shared house, or part of a home | Anywhere | £30 per cleaner per hour | Your room plus a share of kitchen and bathroom |
Rent levels show why the deposit matters here. The ONS figures for Richmond upon Thames in August 2026 were £2,045 a month for flats and maisonettes, £2,681 for terraced houses and £3,036 for semis. A tenancy deposit is capped at five weeks’ rent when the yearly rent is under £50,000, so on a terraced house at the borough average that is more than £3,000 waiting on the check-out report.
The Green, the station and the bridge
Kew Green is a triangle of about thirty acres, with Georgian houses and cottages along its edges. Richmond Council’s conservation area appraisal describes the Priory Estate on its east side as late 19th and early 20th century semi-detached and terraced houses in red and yellow stock brick with slate roofs.
Along Kew Road stand detached three-storey Victorian villas set back from the road, and in Haverfield Gardens and Maze Road the houses have double-height square bays. For the cleaner that means tall windows, high skirting and a lot of glass in the bays; for the clerk, it means more ledges to run a finger along.
Around Kew Gardens station the homes are smaller: flats above shops and in converted houses either side of the line. Trains have run from the station since 1869, and it now has both District line and London Overground (Mildmay line) services. Kew Road runs south from the Green past the gardens’ long wall to Richmond, one stop down the line.
Kew Riverside, built by St James (part of the Berkeley Group) between 1999 and 2004 on the site of an old sewage treatment works, runs along the Thames towards Mortlake. It has more than 500 homes of mixed tenure, from one-bed apartments to four-storey town houses arranged in crescents.
Kew Bridge carries the road from Kew Green over the river. The riverside blocks at the far end of the bridge are in Brentford, in the London Borough of Hounslow; we clean those too, at the same prices, and they keep the Kew Bridge name.
Parking zones and event days
Kew has several controlled parking zones run by Richmond Council. The Kew Green zone, KC, operates from 10am to 4.30pm every day of the week, bank holidays included. In February 2025 the council also agreed to extend the hours of the permit bays on Kew Road to 10pm.
On top of that, a one-day North Kew event zone covers the same streets as KC from 10am to 11pm when there is a big event at Kew Gardens, such as Kew the Music or Christmas at Kew, or a Brentford match at the Gtech Community Stadium across the river.
Days are signposted in advance at the zone entry points. If your check-out falls on one of those days, tell us when you book so we can plan the van; any parking we have to pay for goes on the quote at what it costs us.
Water, licensing and deposits
Kew is supplied by Thames Water. The company says all the water in its region is hard: about two thirds comes from rivers and a third from underground, and it runs through chalk and limestone on the way. Bathrooms in Kew flats show it on shower screens, taps and tiles. Descaling is included in every clean.
Richmond Council’s licensing page lists the national mandatory HMO licence, for homes shared by five or more people from two or more households. There is no selective scheme listed for single-household lets.
Either way, licensing is a matter for the landlord and does not change the standard your clean is judged against, which is the check-in inventory, with fair wear and tear allowed. A landlord also cannot make a professional clean a condition of the tenancy.
The cleaning list
Every Kew clean works to our 57-point checklist. The main points:
- Kitchen: cupboards and drawers inside and out, worktops, tiles, hob and extractor, sink and taps descaled, fridge and freezer, and the floor behind appliances that pull out.
- Bathrooms: screens, taps, shower heads and tiles descaled, grout, bath, basin, toilet, mirrors and fan covers.
- Every room: skirting, picture rails where there are any, doors, frames, switches, radiators, inside wardrobes, sills, and windows cleaned from the inside, including sash runners and bay windows.
- Floors vacuumed and washed, stairs included.
The oven is an add-on, never inside the fixed price: £31 for a single or a single wide oven, and £62 for a double or a 90cm range cooker. Our oven cleaning page covers it as a job on its own.
Carpets booked with the clean cost £29 a bedroom, £36 a living room, £47 for a through lounge, £35 a flight of stairs, £20 a hallway and £8 a landing. Read the tenancy agreement for a carpet clause first. See our carpet cleaning page for the standalone service.
Our cleaners are vetted with an in-person interview, insured, and trained on the checklist. We have worked in London since 2014, more than 300 letting agents use us, and tenants have won back £1.2m in deposits. Our Google rating is 4.7. If the agent or clerk reports a problem within 48 hours, we come back and re-clean it free. Call 0333 555 2076 between 8am and 7pm, seven days a week. We cover the rest of London as well.
