Lambeth end of tenancy cleaning prices
Almost a third of Lambeth households rent privately, in everything from Regency terraces in Kennington to 1930s flats on Streatham Hill and new towers by the river at Vauxhall. Our end of tenancy cleaning is priced the same way across the whole borough: by bedrooms, at a fixed price, from £156 for a studio to £425 for a four-bedroom house.

Lambeth is a long, narrow borough of 26.8 square kilometres, running south from the Thames at Waterloo, with 317,650 people at the 2021 census. The homes change as you go south, and so does the clean.
In the north, Kennington keeps many of its late Georgian and early Victorian terraces: tall, narrow houses with sash windows and a lot of staircase, many of them now split into flats.
The council has 62 conservation areas covering about 30% of the borough, and Kennington is one of them, so original fireplaces, shutters and panelled doors often stay, and each one gets dusted and wiped. Down by the river, the new blocks round Nine Elms are a different job: floor-to-ceiling glass, balconies, induction hobs and shower rooms with frameless screens.
Through the middle of the borough the stock is mostly Victorian, much of it cut into flats, alongside some of London’s best-known council estates. Central Hill, on the slope below Crystal Palace, was built by the council between 1966 and 1974 to designs by Ted Hollamby, Rosemary Stjernstedt and Roger Westman, in terraces of pale grey brick. It is one of six estates in Lambeth’s renewal programme, with Cressingham Gardens, Fenwick, Knight’s Walk, South Lambeth and Westbury.
Further south, Streatham Hill has the flats of the 1930s. Pullman Court, designed by Frederick Gibberd in 1936 when he was 23, has 218 flats in three blocks and is listed Grade II*. Flats of that age often keep small kitchens and original fittings, and a clerk checks them as closely as a new build. Streatham itself grew round its three stations, the first opened in 1856, and much of its housing is Victorian and Edwardian.
Licensing in 23 of Lambeth’s 25 wards
Lambeth brought in selective licensing in two steps. The first, on 2 September 2024, covered four wards: Knight’s Hill, Streatham Common and Vale, Streatham Hill East and Streatham St Leonard’s. The second, on 1 September 2025, added 19 more, among them Kennington, Oval, Clapham Town, Herne Hill and Loughborough Junction, and the Brixton wards.
Only Vauxhall and Waterloo & South Bank are left out. In a licensed ward, a private let to one family, or to two people who are not related, needs a licence.
Shared houses had been licensed earlier. Since 9 December 2021 Lambeth’s additional HMO licence has applied across the whole borough to any home let to three or more people that the mandatory scheme does not already cover. The council’s selective licensing page lists every ward.
For you as the tenant, the licence is the landlord’s paperwork. Your check-out is still a comparison against the inventory taken when you moved in.
Who rents in Lambeth now
At the 2021 census 31.4% of Lambeth households rented privately, 33.6% rented from the council or a housing association, and 33% owned their home, so owners are a minority here. Rents are high. The ONS put the Lambeth average at £2,525 a month in August 2026, 3.7% up on a year earlier and well above the London figure of £2,332; a one-bed averaged £1,882 and a two-bed £2,342. On a two-bed, a five-week deposit comes to about £2,700.
A good share of the demand comes from St Thomas’ Hospital on Westminster Bridge Road, which has 840 beds and teaches medical students from King’s College London. A hospital and medical school of that size keep a steady turnover of staff and students renting in the borough, and their contracts and placements end on fixed dates, so the clean has to fit a set day.
The homes change as you go south, and so does the clean.
The 57-point clean in a Lambeth flat
Lambeth’s water comes from Thames Water, which since January 2026 has been replacing old cast-iron mains under 86 roads round Kennington, Brixton and Vauxhall, with work running to 2031. The supply is hard, and the scale it leaves on taps and shower glass is the first thing a clerk notices in a bathroom. Our cleaners descale as part of every clean. They work through the checklist room by room:
- Kitchen: inside every cupboard and drawer, the hob, extractor hood and filter, tiles, sink and taps, fridge and freezer, and the washing machine drawer and seal.
- Bathroom: limescale off the screen, shower head and taps, grout and sealant scrubbed, toilet, bath, basin, mirror and extractor fan.
- Living rooms and bedrooms: skirting, cornices within reach, doors, frames and handles, radiators, switches, sills and the inside of the windows, wardrobes inside, floors vacuumed and mopped.
In a period conversion, add the communal stairs if your tenancy says you share them. In a new block, the cleaner wipes down balcony glass from the inside and clears the door tracks.
The cleaners are vetted, interviewed in person, insured and trained on that checklist. We started in 2014, and 300+ letting agents now work with us. Tenants have won back £1.2m in deposits after our cleans, and we hold a 4.7 rating on Google.
Extras booked with the clean
The oven is an extra. With the clean, a single or single wide oven is £31, and a double or a 90cm range cooker £62. If you only need the oven, see our oven cleaning in Lambeth page.
Carpets cost less when they are booked with the clean: £29 per bedroom, £36 for a living room, £47 for a through lounge, £35 for a flight of stairs, £20 for a hallway and £8 for a landing. A Kennington house split into flats often has carpeted stairs to each floor, so count them. Standalone carpet work is on the carpet cleaning Lambeth page.
For the home you are moving into, a deep clean is £26 per cleaner per hour (a team of two for at least three hours, from £186). Weekly or fortnightly help is on the domestic cleaning in Lambeth page.
Booking around Lambeth’s parking zones
Lambeth has 24 controlled parking zones, most of them in the north of the borough, with hours that differ from zone to zone. That leaves plenty of streets further south with no zone at all. If we have to pay for a bay, the cost goes on the quote at what we pay.
When you book, tell us the postcode, the number of bedrooms, the floor and whether there is a lift, the check-out date and any extras. Clear the home first and leave the electricity and hot water on. Month-end dates go fastest, so give us a week if you can. If the letting agent or clerk raises anything within 48 hours, we come back and re-clean it free.
We cover every Lambeth postcode, from Brixton to the river and down to the Croydon border. The rest of the capital is on our end of tenancy cleaning London page.
Lambeth end of tenancy cleaning FAQs
My flat is in Vauxhall ward. Does my landlord need a selective licence?
No. Vauxhall and Waterloo & South Bank are the two wards outside the scheme. If you share the flat with two or more other people, though, the borough-wide additional HMO licence still applies.
How much is a two-bed flat clean in Lambeth?
£243, fixed, whether the flat is in Streatham or Stockwell. A single oven adds £31 if you need it.
Do you clean council and housing association flats on Lambeth estates?
Yes. They are priced by bedrooms like any other home. Tell us the block, the floor and whether the lift works, so the cleaner can plan the kit.
Can I book a clean for a Grade II listed flat with original windows?
Yes. The cleaner works on old glass and frames by hand, gently. If the inventory notes damage that was already there, show us when we arrive.
Now that my landlord holds a licence, can they charge me a cleaning fee?
No. The licence does not change the Tenant Fees Act 2019, which stops a landlord charging for a professional clean. They can only claim from the deposit if the home is less clean than at check-in, allowing for fair wear and tear.
