Theydon Bois prices, the short answer
Theydon Bois grew up around its station after the line from Loughton reached it in 1865, and the homes still show each stage: villas north of the green from the 1870s, terraces on its south-west side, interwar houses and bungalows on Theydon Park Road, post-war estates beyond. Moving out of any of them, you pay a fixed price for our end of tenancy clean, set by bedrooms: £156 for a studio, £207 for one bedroom, £243 for two, £339 for three and £425 for four.
Last updated October 2026.
The oven and carpets are priced separately, further down. A part job, such as one room in a shared house, is £30 per cleaner per hour, and a house with more than four bedrooms is quoted from the room count. The calculator at the top of the page gives your exact figure.
Village homes compared
The Victoria County History traces the village’s building in layers. Plots for Manor Villas, north of the green, were laid out around 1848 on newly enclosed land, though the houses only went up between 1870 and 1872. The terraces on the south-west side of the green date from 1890 to 1910. Theydon Park Road has small houses and bungalows, most of them built between the wars. Red Oaks Mead was ten pairs of roughcast council houses before the war, and after it came Graylands, with 40 council houses, and the Green Glade and Pakes Way estate. The table puts each type next to its price and the part of the job that takes longest.

Rents here are high for Essex. The ONS put the Epping Forest average at £1,844 a month in August 2026, up 5.6% in a year, against £1,289 for the East of England as a whole. By type it was £1,436 for a flat, £1,820 for a terraced house, £1,970 for a semi and £2,563 for a detached house. The deposit cap is five weeks’ rent while the yearly rent is under £50,000; on a four-bed at the district average that is around £3,300 held against the check-out report.
The station, the green and parking in Theydon Bois
The station opened on 24 April 1865, under the name Theydon, and Central line trains took over the branch on 25 September 1949. It is in Zone 6, one stop short of the Epping terminus. The road through the middle is the B172, called Coppice Row in the village, where the 18th-century parish almshouses stand.
The village has no street lights. Residents voted them down in a 1964 plebiscite, and it has stayed that way. That matters on a winter check-out: by late afternoon the street outside is dark, so a morning slot is the better choice, with the windows cleaned while there is still daylight on them.
Parking is the other practical point. In its April 2026 response to a planning application, the parish council said commuters park wherever there are no restrictions, that a space outside the shops and restaurants on Forest Drive is often hard to find, and that people park illegally on Coppice Row outside Tesco. The same application, EPF/0354/26, proposes up to 150 homes on fields next to the station off Abridge Road; the parish council strongly objected to it. If we have to pay to park near your address, the cost goes on the quote at what it costs us.
The avenue of oaks along Loughton Lane, planted in the 1830s, leads out towards Debden and Loughton, where we clean the same way. In the other direction, Epping is the end of the line and home to the district council’s offices.
Affinity Water and limescale
Theydon Bois is in Affinity Water’s area; the village was on the company’s list when it asked customers to save water in the July 2022 heatwave. Affinity classes the water it supplies as hard or very hard. Limescale builds up on shower glass, taps, the inside of the toilet bowl and the tiles behind the sink, and a clerk tilting a shower screen to the light will see every streak.
Descaling is part of every clean. We use a scale remover on the screens, taps, shower heads, tiles and the sink, then rinse and dry them so no fresh water marks are left behind.
Licensing and deposits in Epping Forest district
Epping Forest District Council licenses a house in multiple occupation when five or more people from two or more households share facilities. More than six occupants also needs planning permission as a large HMO. The council’s pages list no selective or additional licensing, so an ordinary family let in the village needs no licence at all.
None of that changes the standard for your clean. The check-out report is compared with the inventory taken when you moved in, allowing for fair wear and tear. Your landlord has 30 days from receiving the deposit to protect it in a government-backed scheme, and once you agree any deductions it has to be repaid within 10 days. Since 1 May 2026 most tenancies run month to month, and a tenant can leave on two months’ notice.
The 57-point clean
Every job follows our 57-point checklist, with the home empty so we can reach skirting boards, the backs of cupboards and carpet edges.
- Kitchen: cupboards and drawers inside and out, worktops, splashback, hob, extractor hood and filter, sink and taps descaled, fridge and freezer, and the floor under appliances that pull out.
- Bathrooms and cloakrooms: bath, shower, screen and taps descaled, tiles and grout, toilet, basin, mirrors and fan covers.
- Bedrooms and reception rooms: skirting, doors and frames, switches, radiators, wardrobes inside, sills, and windows cleaned from the inside, sash runners and bay windows included.
- Hall, stairs and landing: banisters, spindles and every floor vacuumed and washed.
The oven is an add-on: £31 for a single or a single wide oven, and £62 for a double or a 90cm range cooker. For an oven on its own, see oven cleaning. Carpets cleaned with the end of tenancy clean cost £29 a bedroom, £36 a living room, £47 a through lounge, £35 a flight of stairs, £20 a hallway and £8 a landing; carpet cleaning covers it as a separate job.
We have cleaned since 2014, more than 300 letting agents work with us, and tenants have won back £1.2m in deposits. Cleaners are vetted at an in-person interview, insured and trained on the checklist, and our Google rating is 4.7. Should the agent or clerk find something within 48 hours, we return and put it right at no charge. Phone 0333 555 2076, 8am to 7pm, seven days a week; we cover the rest of Essex too.
