Kings Hill end of tenancy prices, the short answer
Almost every home in Kings Hill has gone up since 1989, on the old RAF West Malling airfield, so a tenant here is almost always handing back a modern house or flat, usually with a fitted kitchen. We clean them at the end of a tenancy for a fixed price by bedrooms: £263 for a two-bed, £359 for a three-bed and £445 for a four-bed, with studios from £176.

Kings Hill homes compared
Kings Hill was built in phases over more than thirty years, so the age of the house tells you a lot about the clean. The table puts each type of home next to its price and the part of the job that takes the time.
| Home | Where in Kings Hill | Price | Where the time goes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bed apartment | Apartment blocks across the phases, and flats over garages | £176 or £227 | Integrated kitchen, shower room, inside the built-in wardrobe |
| Two-bed apartment | Newer blocks such as those at Blenheim Green off Park Drive | £263 | Often a second shower room, balcony door glass, open-plan kitchen |
| Two- or three-bed terrace or semi | The earlier phases, built in the 1990s and 2000s | £263 or £359 | Stairs, a downstairs cloakroom, kitchens and bathrooms after years of use |
| Four-bed detached house | Across the parish, including the latest phase at DeHavilland Place | £445 | En suite plus family bathroom, utility room, patio doors |
| Five bedrooms or more | The larger detached houses in the newer phases | quoted from the room count | Three or more bathrooms, more floor |
| A room in a shared house, or part of a home | Anywhere | £30 per cleaner per hour | Your room and a share of the kitchen and bathroom |
Bellway’s current sites show what the newest stock looks like: DeHavilland Place has three, four and five bedroom detached, semi-detached and terraced houses, and Blenheim Green on Park Drive mixes apartments, flats over garages and houses of two to five bedrooms. A tenant leaving one of these after a first let is often handing back a home that was brand new at check-in, and the inventory will say so.
From airfield to parish
RAF West Malling stopped operational flying in the 1960s and was put on care and maintenance in 1967. Kent County Council bought the site from the Ministry of Defence in the 1970s and in 1989 went into partnership with Liberty Property Trust to develop it.
The plan covered about 800 acres, with some 2,750 homes, business space and a village centre at Liberty Square, and by 2016 Liberty described the housing as about 80% owner-occupied and 20% affordable or social. Kings Hill is now a civil parish of its own in Tonbridge and Malling.
The roads carry the history. Some are named after Kent apples, such as Discovery Drive and Braeburn Way, and others after aircraft, such as Spitfire Road. Two wartime buildings survive and are listed: the control tower, and the 1939 Officers’ Mess, now the Gibson Building, which Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council took over in 1974 and uses as its offices. The council that licenses Kings Hill’s rented homes works on the same estate.
The parish also has three primary schools, an 18-hole golf course opened in 1995 and a large business park. West Malling, the old market town just to the north, has the station and the older housing that Kings Hill does not.

The borough council names South East Water as the water company it plans with, and Southern Water also supplies parts of the borough. South East Water says most of its water comes from underground chalk aquifers, so it is hard and leaves limescale in kettles, boilers and pipes.
In a modern bathroom that means scale round the base of mixer taps, on frameless glass screens and on chrome towel rails. A clerk comparing those with check-in photos of a new house will see it, so every clean includes descaling.
Tonbridge and Malling operates only the national mandatory HMO licence, for homes shared by five or more people from two or more households. There is no additional or selective scheme, so a family house let to one household needs no council licence.
Rents in the borough averaged £1,489 a month in August 2026 and £2,200 for a detached house, according to the ONS. A deposit is capped at five weeks’ rent where the yearly rent is under £50,000, so on a detached house at that average the deposit is about £2,540. The landlord may deduct only for what is worse than the check-in inventory, allowing for fair wear and tear, and cannot make a professional clean a condition of the tenancy.
The clean in a modern house
Every clean runs to our 57-point checklist. On a Kings Hill house the points that take longest are these:
- Integrated kitchen: every cupboard door and the panels in front of the dishwasher and fridge-freezer, inside each unit, the dishwasher filter and seals, the hob, the extractor and its filter, plinths, and the floor where any free-standing appliance can be moved.
- Bathrooms and en suites: glass screens, tiles and grout, shower trays, taps and shower heads descaled, toilets, basins, mirrors and extractor fans.
- Every room: skirting, doors and frames, switches and sockets, radiators, built-in wardrobes inside and out, window sills and frames, and windows from the inside, including patio and balcony doors.
- Floors: carpets vacuumed, hard floors washed, stairs and landing done by hand.
The oven is an add-on: £31 for a single or a single wide oven, and £62 for a double or a 90cm range cooker. Built-in ovens at eye level are common in fitted kitchens, so check whether yours is a single or a double before you book. Our oven cleaning page explains the process.
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. See carpet cleaning for the standalone service.
Our cleaners are vetted at an in-person interview, insured and trained on the checklist. If the agent or inventory clerk finds anything wrong with the clean within 48 hours, we go back and redo it free.
Booking and getting here
If your home has a drive or an allocated bay we can use, tell us when you book. Where we have to pay for parking, that cost is added at what it costs us. West Malling station, run by Southeastern with trains to London Victoria and Charing Cross, is the nearest rail link; Maidstone is a short drive east, and we clean there and across Kent at the same prices.
We have worked since 2014 in London, Liverpool, Manchester and the areas around them. More than 300 letting agents use us, tenants have won back £1.2m in deposits, and our Google rating is 4.7. Call 0333 555 2076, 8am to 7pm, seven days a week, or use the calculator at the top of the page.
Kings Hill end of tenancy FAQs
We rented a new-build four-bed at DeHavilland Place. What does the clean cost?
£445 for the house. If the inventory lists the oven, add £31 for a single or £62 for a double.
The check-in report says the house was brand new. Can a clean get it back to that?
It can get it back to clean. Wear from normal living, such as scuffed paint or carpet flattened in a walkway, is fair wear and tear and should not come off your deposit.
Do I need a licence or permission from Tonbridge and Malling for my move-out?
No. Licensing is the landlord’s responsibility, and the council only licenses homes shared by five or more people from two or more households.
Three of us share a house on Kings Hill and I am leaving first. What should I book?
Your room and a share of the kitchen and bathroom, at £30 per cleaner per hour. The last to leave can book the whole house at the fixed price.
How do I pay?
A 50% deposit holds your date, and the rest is due once the clean is done.
