Northwood homes compared by size and price
Northwood was laid out in one go. Frank Carew bought the Eastbury Estate in 1887, the year the Metropolitan Railway opened Northwood station, and by 1891 he had set out the road pattern, named the roads after himself and his family, and sold every plot. Carew Road and Maxwell Road still carry his names.
Hillingdon’s conservation appraisals describe what went up: parades of shops with flats above along Green Lane, semi-detached houses on the side roads, and large, individually designed Arts and Crafts houses in what is now the Frithwood conservation area. The table sets each kind of home against our fixed prices.
| Home | Where you find it | Price | What takes the time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flat above a shop parade | Green Lane, including Rowland Place, a 1960s block of shops with two floors of flats | £207 one-bed, £243 two-bed | Street-facing windows and a compact kitchen |
| Flat in a purpose-built block | Greenhill Court, the L-shaped 1960s block at Green Lane and Dene Road; newer blocks on Maxwell Road | £156 studio, £207 one-bed, £243 two-bed | Balcony doors, glass and booking the lift |
| Semi-detached house, or a flat converted from one | The side roads off Green Lane, where some semis are now split into flats | £243 two-bed, £339 three-bed | Older kitchens, stairs, more than one bathroom |
| Large detached house | Frithwood Avenue, Carew Road and Eastbury Road in the Frithwood conservation area | £425 for four bedrooms; larger homes quoted from the room count | Several bathrooms, original joinery and period windows, a range cooker |
| Part job or unusual layout | Anywhere in HA6 | £30 per cleaner per hour | Agreed with you before the day |
The Frithwood houses date from the late 19th century onwards, and the council notes that many have kept their original features and fabric; some of the later ones were designed by architects including C.H.B. Quennell and John Markham. That is the stock where a clean takes longest, simply because a big Arts and Crafts house has more of everything: more doors, more panelling, more windows to wipe from the inside.
Renting in Northwood after August 2026
Renting is growing across the borough. At the 2021 census 25.9% of Hillingdon households rented privately, up from 18.1% in 2011, while home ownership fell from 62.9% to 56.6%. The ONS put Hillingdon’s average private rent at £1,570 a month in August 2026, up 2.5% on a year earlier, with four-bedroom homes averaging £2,634. Those are borough figures, and they include plenty of homes far smaller than Northwood’s detached houses.
Two large institutions sit on Northwood’s edges. Northwood Headquarters, just over the line in Hertfordshire at Eastbury Park, has housed the Permanent Joint Headquarters since April 1996 alongside NATO’s Allied Maritime Command.
Mount Vernon Hospital has been on its Northwood site since 1904 and is run by The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, with a cancer centre that plans announced in 2021 would move to Watford General. If your move-out date is fixed by a posting or a contract, give us the date as soon as you have it.
Hillingdon has changed its rules for shared houses. A borough-wide Article 4 direction came into force on 11 December 2025, so turning a family house into a small shared house now needs planning permission.
On 24 August 2026 the council’s borough-wide additional HMO licensing scheme began, for five years: a house shared by three or four people from more than one household now needs a licence (the fee is £1,401), and the mandatory licence still covers five or more. Hillingdon runs no selective licensing, so a house let to one family needs no licence at all. The government’s page on houses in multiple occupation explains which homes count.
Affinity Water’s very hard supply in HA6
Northwood is not on Thames Water. Affinity Water supplies it from its Northwood supply zone, which serves about 62,000 people, and the 2025 sample there measured 348 mg/l total hardness and 139 mg/l calcium. Affinity’s own report says almost all of its supplies are hard because of the chalk geology of southern England.
In practice that means a white crust round every tap, cloudy glass in every shower enclosure and furred-up shower heads. In a house with three bathrooms and a cloakroom, that is a lot of descaling, and the clerk will photograph each fitting.

Descaling is part of every Northwood clean and costs nothing extra.
The clean in a big house, room by room
The cleaners work through our 57-point checklist from the top of the house down. In a large house the order matters: high dusting and cobwebs first, then surfaces, then the bathrooms and kitchen, and the floors last so nothing gets walked back across a clean floor.
- Kitchen: inside and outside all units and drawers, worktops cleaned with a product that suits stone or timber, splashback, hob, extractor and filters, sink and taps descaled, fridge and freezer (defrost them the day before), dishwasher and washing machine seals, and behind appliances that can be moved.
- Bathrooms and cloakroom: every screen, tap, shower head and tile descaled, grout scrubbed, baths, basins and toilets cleaned, extractor covers wiped.
- Bedrooms and living rooms: skirting, coving and picture rails, doors and frames, radiators and the wall behind them, sockets and switches, windows and sills from the inside, inside fitted wardrobes, then floors.
- The extra rooms a big house has: utility room, loft conversion, conservatory glass from the inside, and the hall and landings.
Original wood floors are dusted, then cleaned with a damp mop and a product suited to the finish. A waxed parquet floor never gets a soaking.

The oven is never in the fixed price. Added to the clean it is £31 for a single or a single wide oven, and £62 for a double or a 90cm range cooker. Our oven cleaning page covers an oven on its own.
Carpet cleaning added to the clean costs £29 a bedroom, £36 a living room, £47 a through lounge, £35 a flight of stairs, £20 a hallway and £8 a landing; a house with two floors of bedrooms usually has a flight and a landing to add. Standalone prices are on the carpet cleaning page.
Northwood station is in fare zone 6 on the Metropolitan line, but the cleaners come by van with the kit. If the house has a drive, let us park on it. Where the van has to pay to park, we add what it costs us and show it on the quote.
Ring 0333 555 2076 (8am to 7pm, seven days) or use the price calculator at the top of the page. Tell us the bedrooms and bathrooms, any loft room or annexe, the check-out date and the extras. The house should be empty, with the power and hot water on.
The same cleaners cover Northwood Hills, the next stop towards Harrow on the Metropolitan line, Ruislip to the south, and Rickmansworth beyond Moor Park in Hertfordshire. Every area in the borough is listed on the end of tenancy cleaning Hillingdon page.
Northwood end of tenancy FAQs
Our Northwood house has five bedrooms. How is it priced?
The fixed prices go up to four bedrooms. Above that we quote from the room count, bathrooms and extras, and agree the price with you before the day.
Does a shared house in Northwood need a licence now?
From 24 August 2026, yes, if three or more people from more than one household share it. That is Hillingdon’s new borough-wide additional HMO scheme. A house let to one family needs no licence, because Hillingdon has no selective licensing.
Can you clean a range cooker?
Yes. A 90cm range cooker added to the end of tenancy clean is £62, with the racks, glass and hob grates cleaned and degreased.
My posting ends on a fixed date. Can you fit around it?
Yes. We work seven days a week, and if the agent or clerk flags anything within 48 hours we come back free, which keeps a fixed handover on track. Book as early as you can, as month-end dates fill first.
Does the hard water add to the bill?
No. Descaling every bathroom, the kitchen taps and the kettle is part of the fixed price, however many bathrooms the house has.
