Old Windsor homes and prices compared
The parish is in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, on the south bank of the Thames about two and a half miles south-east of Windsor. It had 4,977 residents at the 2011 census.
Most of the parish is open land: the neighbourhood plan puts 93% of it in the green belt and 7% in the floodplain, and much of Windsor Great Park lies within its boundary. So the homes are concentrated in the village, and the mix is easy to set out.
| Property | Example in the village | Price | Where the hours go |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | Small flat in a newer block or a converted house | £156 | Every surface is in reach of the clerk in one room |
| One-bedroom flat or house | Flat in one of the newer developments, or a small post-war home | £207 | Kitchen grease, bathroom scale |
| Two-bedroom house | Early 20th-century house near St Luke’s Road and Albany Road | £243 | Old skirting, picture rails, narrow stairs |
| Three-bedroom house | Inter-war house on Straight Road or Ouseley Road, or a post-war house on Ashbrook Road or Meadow Way | £339 | A long-let kitchen, garden doors, a lot of glass |
| Four-bedroom house | Larger detached house on the edge of the village | £425 | Two bathrooms, a utility room, a conservatory |
| Five bedrooms or more | Large period or detached house | Quoted from the room count | Counted room by room |
| Part job | One room, an annexe, a top-up before a re-let | £30 per cleaner per hour | Only what you book |
The fixed price is for an empty home and includes the inside of all cupboards, descaling and the inside of the windows. We only add a parking cost if a paid space is needed on your street, at whatever we are charged. The price calculator at the top of the page gives your own figure, and the phone line, 0333 555 2076, is open from 8am to 7pm every day.
The ONS put the average private rent in Windsor and Maidenhead at £1,801 a month in September 2026, with a semi-detached house at £1,940 and a four-bed or bigger at £2,698. A deposit of five weeks’ rent on a family house here runs to well over two thousand pounds.
Village housing from the 1900s to now
Old Windsor grew late and fast. The Old Windsor Neighbourhood Plan counts about 475 houses in 1930, 775 by 1950, 1,600 by 1960 and nearly 1,900 by 1970. Its account of where they went is the best guide to what you are likely to be renting.
The early 20th-century homes are around St Luke’s Road and Albany Road. Between the wars, houses went up on Straight Road, Ouseley Road and The Friary, with council houses in Church Road.
After the Second World War came the private Ashbrook Road and Meadow Way estates, built by Taylor Woodrow, and council housing at Kingsbury Drive, Queens Close, St Peters Close and St Andrews Close. The most recent schemes, Hartley Copse, Newton Court, Bears Rails and Parker Gardens, used the last brownfield sites and large gardens.
Each age leaves its own work at check-out. Rooms from the early 1900s often have picture rails, deep skirting and panelled doors that hold dust in every moulding. In inter-war and post-war houses the time usually goes on the kitchen and bathroom: grease and scale. A new-build flat has integrated appliances, and the clerk opens each door.
Getting around is mostly by car. The plan names Datchet as the nearest railway station, with no public transport link to it, and describes rat-running on village roads when the A308 is congested. If you are moving on to Datchet or into Windsor itself, the same fixed prices apply.
Ham Island and homes by the river
Ham Island was a bend in the Thames until 1822, when the Thames Navigation Commissioners dug the New Cut across its neck to build Old Windsor Lock. It now has 37 homes, and a Thames Water wastewater treatment works sits on the island, screened from the houses. In February 2014 the river burst its banks, and some residents had to leave flooded homes.
A riverside let usually brings two extra jobs at the end of a tenancy. Window tracks, door thresholds and sills collect fine grit, and damp tends to show first as black spotting on sealant and in the corners of window reveals.
Surface mould on paint and silicone can usually be cleaned. A tide line, a swollen skirting or plaster that is still damp is flood damage, and that is the landlord’s repair, so mention it before the check-out.

Licensing in Windsor and Maidenhead
The Royal Borough licenses houses in multiple occupation under the national mandatory scheme, which covers homes with five or more people from two or more households who share facilities. Its HMO pages describe no additional or selective licensing, so an ordinary family let in Old Windsor needs no council licence.
Licence or not, the deposit rules are national. Your deposit sits in a government-backed scheme, a landlord cannot require a professional clean as a condition of the tenancy, and any cleaning deduction has to be measured against the check-in inventory. If the clerk’s report says the oven was clean when you moved in, it has to be clean when you leave.
If you share a house, sharers can book separately. One person books their room and a part of the kitchen and bathroom by the hour; the last to leave books the rest.
Hard water across SL4
The SL4 postcode is split between three water companies. Water company boundary data puts about three-quarters of SL4 postcodes with Thames Water, about a fifth with Affinity Water and a few with South East Water. Thames Water says all the water in its region is hard, and Affinity’s Staines supply zone, which covers part of SL4, averages 294 mg/l of calcium carbonate, also in the hard band. Whichever company supplies your address, expect scale.
In a bathroom that means crusted tap bases, a milky shower screen and a ring in the toilet bowl, and a clerk will mark it as dirt. Descaling is part of the fixed price. Taps, shower heads, screens, tiles and the toilet are treated, left for the descaler to work and rinsed clean, and in the kitchen the sink and the washing machine drawer get the same.
The clean, room by room
Our cleaners are interviewed in person, insured and trained on our 57-point checklist, which runs through the home in this order.
- Kitchen: every cupboard and drawer inside and out, worktops, splashback, hob, extractor and filter, sink and taps, the fridge and freezer (off and defrosted the night before), dishwasher filter, washing machine seal and drawer, and the floor under appliances that pull out.
- Bathrooms: scale removed from taps, heads, screens and tiles, grout scrubbed, toilet inside, outside and at the base, bath, basin, mirror and extractor cover.
- Bedrooms and reception rooms: skirting, picture rails, doors and frames, switches, sockets and radiators, wardrobe interiors, window sills, frames and the inside of the glass.
- Hall and stairs: banister, spindles, step edges and the cupboard under the stairs, then floors vacuumed and washed.
The home has to be empty on the day, and the electricity and water need to stay on, because our cleaners use what is in the property and do not bring a supply of their own.
The oven is an add-on, never part of the fixed price. Added to the clean it costs £31 for a single or single wide oven, or £62 for a double or a 90cm range.
Shelves, trays and other parts that lift out are soaked separately, and the cavity, the door glass and the seals are cleaned by hand in the kitchen, with the inner glass included where the door design allows. Booked on its own through our oven cleaning service, a single costs £77 and a 90cm range cooker £143.
Carpets booked with the clean are £29 a bedroom, £36 a living room, £47 a through lounge, £35 a flight of stairs, £20 a hallway and £8 a landing, less than the standalone carpet cleaning price. The Berkshire end of tenancy cleaning page lists the other towns and villages we cover.
Old Windsor end of tenancy FAQs
Do you cover Ham Island and the Great Park side of the parish?
Yes. Ham Island, the village streets and the homes inside Windsor Great Park are all in the parish, and the same fixed prices apply. For the Great Park, tell us about any gate or access arrangements when you book.
How much is a three-bed on Straight Road?
£339 at a fixed price. Add £31 for a single oven, or £62 for a double, and the carpet prices above if your tenancy asks for them.
The house has been empty for a few months. Is that still an end of tenancy clean?
Yes. Dust and cobwebs settle in an empty house, and the clean covers them. Tell us how long it has stood empty when you book, so we allow enough time on the day.
Is there a selective licensing scheme in Old Windsor?
No. The Royal Borough’s HMO pages describe only the mandatory HMO licence for homes shared by five or more people. It has no bearing on your cleaning obligations at check-out.
What happens if the clerk flags something after you leave?
Let us know within 48 hours of the letting agent or clerk raising it, and the cleaners come back and put it right for free. You can send the report by WhatsApp on 0333 555 2076.
