End of tenancy cleaning in Notting Hill
Most rented homes in Notting Hill are a floor or two of a Victorian stucco house, and many of those houses stand on the old Ladbroke Estate, with tall sash windows on the street side and a private communal garden behind.
Our move-out clean for a Notting Hill flat has a fixed price set by bedrooms, from £156 for a studio and £243 for a two-bed, and the team works through a 57-point checklist with the flat empty, so every shelf and skirting the inventory clerk will check can be reached.
Last updated November 2026.
The money at stake is large. The Office for National Statistics put the average private rent in the Royal Borough at £3,739 a month in September 2026, and a two-bed at £3,475. The Tenant Fees Act caps a deposit at five weeks’ rent where the yearly rent is under £50,000, so a two-bed at that average rent has about £4,000 held in a protection scheme until the check-out is agreed.

A check-out is a comparison. The clerk walks the empty flat holding the report and photographs from the day you moved in, and notes anything that is dirtier now than it was then, allowing for fair wear and tear. In a converted period house the route is fairly predictable, and our cleaners work to the same order.
- Keys
- The clerk counts keys against the check-in list. If the house backs onto one of the Ladbroke Estate’s communal gardens, the garden key or fob sits on that list beside the front door keys, so find it before moving day. The garden is not part of your clean.
- Kitchen
- Expect the clerk to open the fridge, the freezer, each cupboard and each drawer, and to look behind a cooker that slides out. We degrease the hob, splashback and extractor filter, wash every cupboard inside and out, wipe the tops of the wall units and pull out any appliance that moves. Defrost the freezer the day before we arrive.
- Oven
- The oven is an add-on and is priced separately. Shelves and trays go into a soak on their own while the cavity, the door glass and the seals are cleaned by hand in the kitchen. The inner pane of the door comes out only where the door design allows.
- Bathroom
- Thames Water supplies the Royal Borough and says all the water in its region is hard, so scale on taps, screens and shower heads is the usual bathroom note on a W11 report. Descaler goes on first and is left to work before anything is scrubbed. If the check-in report lists original brass or nickel taps, or an old cast-iron bath, tell us when you book, and the cleaner will use a milder product and give it longer.
- Ceilings and high ledges
- Large Victorian houses have tall rooms on the lower floors, and clerks look up: cornices, picture rails, the tops of door frames and the top sash of every window. The team brings steps and a long-reach duster for that work.
- Windows
- Inside glass, frames, sills and sash runners are all cleaned. Outside glass above the ground floor is a separate window cleaning job.
- Floors
- Boards and tiles are vacuumed, then washed with a product that suits the finish. Carpets are vacuumed as standard. If the check-in report says they were professionally cleaned, book the carpet add-on, because vacuuming will not match that line.
Our cleaners are vetted (each one is interviewed in person), insured and trained on the checklist. If the letting agent or the clerk flags something in the 48 hours after we finish, a cleaner comes back and puts it right without charge.

Add-on prices with the clean

Carpet work on its own, outside a move-out, is on the carpet cleaning page for Notting Hill. Rugs are cleaned on site in the flat. Leave the water and electricity on for the day, because the team uses the flat’s own supply.
Licensing in Kensington and Chelsea
The Royal Borough has run a borough-wide additional HMO licensing scheme since 1 June 2023. It covers homes shared by three or more people from two or more households that fall outside the national mandatory scheme, which starts at five people.
There is no selective licensing scheme, so a flat let to one household needs no council licence. Licensing is the landlord’s duty, and it does not change how your deposit is judged: the check-in inventory still decides that. The council explains the scheme on its additional HMO licensing page.
Many of Notting Hill’s large houses were divided into rooms and flats for much of the twentieth century. If you are leaving a room in a shared flat, agree with the other sharers who is booking the shared kitchen and bathroom, because the clerk reports on those rooms once for the whole flat.
Since 1 May 2026 the Renters’ Rights Act has moved private tenancies onto a rolling periodic basis with two months’ notice from the tenant. Move-out dates now fall at any point in the month, and the cleaning standard at the end is unchanged.
Parking near Notting Hill Gate
The Royal Borough issues parking permits to residents only, so a cleaning team parks in pay-by-phone visitor bays like any other visitor. The bays on Notting Hill Gate itself keep their own hours, 10am to 4pm on weekdays and 10am to 1.30pm on Saturdays. Residents’ bays allow up to 20 minutes for loading heavy or bulky items, provided the loading is continuous, which is enough to carry the kit in and no more.
Carnival is the weekend to plan around. It takes over the August bank holiday Sunday and Monday, with the steel band competition on the Saturday, and in 2027 it falls on 28 to 30 August. Some Underground stations close or run exit-only over those days. If your tenancy ends that weekend, book the clean for the Thursday or Friday before.
The rest of the year, book for after the removal van has left and before the clerk’s appointment, ideally the day before, so the flat stays empty overnight.
West of the Gate, Holland Park has larger houses on the same borough rules, and east of Pembridge Square the streets of Bayswater come under Westminster City Council. The Kensington and Chelsea page covers the rest of the Royal Borough. Staying put? Regular domestic cleaning in Notting Hill starts from £69 for a three-hour visit.
Common questions from W11 tenants
How much is a move-out clean for a two-bed flat in Notting Hill?
£243 for the clean itself. A single oven adds £31, and carpets add £29 for each bedroom and £36 for the living room. The calculator at the top of the page adds these up for you.
Our flat is shared by three of us. Does it need a licence from the Royal Borough?
If the three of you are not one household, yes: the borough-wide additional HMO scheme has covered shares of three or more people since 1 June 2023. That is your landlord’s responsibility, and the clean is judged against the inventory either way.
Can you clean on Carnival weekend?
We avoid the Sunday and Monday, when roads around W11 fill and some stations close or run exit-only. The Thursday or Friday before, or the Tuesday after, works well, and we will tell you on the phone which is free.
The flat has original brass taps and a cast-iron bath. Will the descaler damage them?
Tell us when you book. The Ladbroke Estate is a conservation area and period fittings turn up often, so the cleaner uses a milder descaler on old metal and enamel and gives it more time.
Do I need to be in the flat while you clean?
No. Most tenants meet the team at the start or leave keys with the letting agent, and we work with more than 300 letting agents. You can send photos of the oven or any problem areas on WhatsApp on 0333 555 2076, answered 8am to 7pm, seven days a week.
