New Cross Gate end of tenancy prices
Most people renting in New Cross Gate live in a purpose-built flat, and much of the rest of the housing is the Victorian terraces between the station and New Cross Road, a good many of them cut into flats. We clean both at the end of a tenancy for a fixed price set by bedrooms: £156 for a studio, £207 for one bedroom, £243 for two, £339 for three and £425 for four.

The deposit is usually the bigger number. The ONS put Lewisham’s average rent for a two-bed at £1,789 a month in August 2026, and £1,457 for a one-bed. Deposits are capped at five weeks’ rent where the yearly rent is under £50,000, so on an average two-bed in SE14 something like £2,060 is riding on the check-out report.
Hatcham terraces, estates and shared flats
New Cross Gate became a ward of its own in 2022. Lewisham Council describes it as bounded by the railway up from South Bermondsey on the north and west, by the Old Kent Road, Queen’s Road and New Cross Road on the south, and by the railway line again on the east, as far as Concord Way on the Silwood Estate. The council’s own ward profile says the railway tangle leaves small pockets of housing that feel like villages. At the 2021 census the ward had 4,232 households: 1,296 renting privately, 1,756 in social housing and 970 owners.
The older streets sit in the Hatcham conservation area, designated in 1990 on land the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers owned from 1614. The Haberdashers let builders put up terraces to strict rules after the railway reached New Cross Gate in the 1830s, and the council’s appraisal dates them street by street:
- Hatcham Park Road: the first terraces, begun in 1848, two storeys in stock brick, some flat-fronted with basements.
- Nettleton Road: three storeys plus basements, built by 1868, bigger houses with no front gardens.
- Billington Road: 1876, two storeys with canted bay windows and small tiled front paths.
- Casella Road: 1880, three storeys with double-height bays rising from a semi-basement and steps up to the doors.
A house like that, split into a basement flat and an upper maisonette, is a long clean for its bedroom count. There are stairs inside and out, bays full of glass, deep sills and high skirting, and often a kitchen down in the semi-basement. Tell us which floor you are on when you book.
Around the terraces are the small estates the ward profile names: Hatcham Park (Hyde Housing), Winslade, Avonley Road and Reaston Street (Lewisham Homes), and part of the Silwood Estate run by L&Q. Flats on them that leaseholders let out privately come to us as ordinary private lets. The railway along the ward’s eastern edge is also the line between New Cross Gate and the Deptford ward, so the streets just east of the station count as Deptford.
The young population shapes the rest. The council’s 2022 ward profile put the average age at 33, one of the youngest in the borough, and Goldsmiths is a short walk east along New Cross Road in New Cross. When a flat is let to sharers, people often leave on different dates, which is why we price a single room by the hour.

Lewisham’s selective licensing scheme started on 1 July 2024 and runs to 1 July 2029. It was drawn on the ward map from before May 2022, which matters here: New Cross Gate ward was made from most of the old New Cross ward plus a small piece of Evelyn, and both of those are in the scheme. So almost any private let north of New Cross Road needs a licence from the council, at a basic fee of £640.
Cross the road and climb the hill and it changes. Telegraph Hill is one of only two areas the council left out of selective licensing, with part of Blackheath. Shared homes are covered on both sides anyway: Lewisham’s additional HMO licence has applied across the borough since April 2022 to homes let to three or more people who are not one household. You can look up an address on the council’s selective licensing page.
None of this changes what you are marked against at check-out. That is the inventory from the day you moved in, with fair wear and tear allowed. A licensed landlord does tend to keep that inventory carefully, so ask for a copy before your last week.
The clean in a hard-water flat
Thames Water supplies SE14. The company says about 65% of its water comes from rivers and 35% from underground, all of it passing through chalk and limestone, and it calls all the water in its region hard. In a rented bathroom that means a white crust on the taps and shower head and a film on the glass that a clerk will write up as dirt. Our cleaners descale as part of the job.
- Kitchen: inside and outside every cupboard and drawer, worktops, tiles and splashback, hob, extractor hood and its filter, sink and taps, fridge and freezer (switched off the night before), the washing machine drawer and door seal, and the floor behind anything that slides out.
- Bathroom: scale off the taps, shower head, screen and tiles, grout scrubbed, toilet including the base and behind the pedestal, bath, basin, mirror and extractor cover.
- Bedrooms and living rooms: skirting, doors and frames, switches and sockets, radiators, inside wardrobes and drawers, sills, and windows from the inside, sash runners and bay windows included.
- Stairs, landings and the hallway of a maisonette, then every floor vacuumed and washed.
Our cleaners are interviewed in person before they start, then insured and trained on the checklist. If the agent or the inventory clerk finds something we missed and tells us within 48 hours, a cleaner comes back and puts it right at no charge.
Ovens and carpets on the same visit
The oven is never inside the fixed price. Booked with the clean it costs £31 for a single or a single wide oven, and £62 for a double or a 90cm range cooker. Our oven cleaning page has the standalone service.
Carpets cost less with the clean than on their own: £29 a bedroom, £36 a living room, £47 for a through lounge, £35 a flight of stairs, £20 a hallway and £8 a landing. Check your tenancy agreement for a carpet clause first. The carpet cleaning page explains the method.

New Cross Gate station is on the London Overground Windrush line, north to Highbury & Islington and south to Crystal Palace and West Croydon. Our team comes by van with the kit, and parking is the thing to plan for: since January 2025 many streets in the Evelyn and New Cross Gate area have been in Lewisham’s Evelyn permit zone. Where the van needs a paid bay or a visitor permit, it goes on your quote at what it costs us.
Book through the calculator, or call 0333 555 2076, 8am to 7pm, seven days a week. We have cleaned rented homes since 2014, more than 300 letting agents use us, tenants have won back £1.2m in deposits, and we are rated 4.7 on Google. The rest of the borough is on our Lewisham page.
New Cross Gate end of tenancy FAQs
I rent the lower flat of a split house on Casella Road. Does the semi-basement cost more?
No. The price is set by bedrooms, so a two-bed flat is £243 whichever floor it is on. Mention the steps when you book so we bring the right kit.
Three of us share a flat near the station and I am leaving first. What should I book?
Your room plus a share of the kitchen and bathroom, by the hour at £30 per cleaner. When the last person moves out, book the whole flat at the fixed price.
Does my landlord need a licence if my flat is just north of New Cross Road?
Almost certainly. That side is in Lewisham’s selective licensing scheme, which began on 1 July 2024. Telegraph Hill, south of the road, is outside it. The council’s map gives the answer for a single address.
My flat is ex-council, bought and let out by the owner. Is it a different job?
No. The clean is the same as for any private let, and so is the price by bedrooms. If the block has a lift or a bin store rota, tell us on the booking.
Can you get the oven and the carpets done the same day?
Yes. A single oven adds £31 and each bedroom carpet £29, and both are done while the rest of the clean goes on.
