Tulse Hill end of tenancy cleaning prices
Tulse Hill sits between Brixton, West Norwood and Brockwell Park, and our end of tenancy clean here starts at £156 for a studio and tops out at £425 for a four-bedroom house.
Each price is fixed by bedroom count, and the oven and carpets are priced separately so you only pay for them when the inventory needs them. If the letting agent or the inventory clerk flags anything within 48 hours, the cleaners come back and re-clean it free.

The price assumes an empty home in ordinary end-of-tenancy condition. If we have to pay to park the van near your door, that cost is added at what it costs us and shown on the quote.

Renting in Lambeth is expensive. The ONS put the borough’s average private rent at £2,525 a month in August 2026, with a one-bed averaging £1,882 (the London figure was £2,332). With a deposit of up to five weeks’ rent on the line, a professional clean is usually the cheaper option.
Homes between the station and Brockwell Park
Tulse Hill started as a planned suburb of large houses. Dr Thomas Edwards laid out the two roads, Tulse Hill and Upper Tulse Hill, by 1821, and building leases on his estate required mostly detached villas. By 1843 there were around 125 houses.
After the Second World War the London County Council rebuilt much of this as council flats, the Tulse Hill Estate along Upper Tulse Hill, and also put two big secondary schools here. Both schools have since closed and been built over: the Dick Sheppard site is now Brockwell Gate, Regency-style houses and flats looking over the park, and the old Tulse Hill School site is affordable housing.
So a Tulse Hill check-out can be in very different buildings: a council-built block on the estate, a surviving Victorian house split into flats with high ceilings, deep skirting and sash windows, or a newer block with an open-plan kitchen and integrated appliances that have to be cleaned in place. The price is the same for the same number of bedrooms; the time on site is not.
On the southern edge of Brockwell Park is Cressingham Gardens, 306 low-rise homes built between 1968 and 1978 by Lambeth’s own architects under Ted Hollamby: a mix of two, three and four-bedroom houses and one-bedroom flats. Lambeth has proposed rebuilding it for more than a decade and commissioned condition surveys of the homes between 2024 and 2026.
The park itself covers 126 acres, with Brockwell Hall, the Grade II listed lido and the walled garden, and it divides Tulse Hill from Herne Hill on the far side. Homes on the streets that border it, such as Brockwell Park Gardens, are on this page.
Lambeth licensing for SW2 landlords
Lambeth now licenses almost every private let. Selective licensing started on 2 September 2024 in Knight’s Hill and three Streatham wards, and from 1 September 2025 Phase 2 took it to every remaining ward except Vauxhall and Waterloo and South Bank. Tulse Hill is split between three wards (Brixton Rush Common and St Martin’s among them), and all of them are covered. A flat let to one household needs a selective licence.
Shared homes come under the borough-wide additional HMO licence, in force since 9 December 2021, for three or more people from more than one household who share facilities. It was made for five years, so it is due for renewal in December 2026. Larger HMOs need a mandatory licence as well. The council’s selective licensing page sets out what landlords have to do.
Your landlord holds the licence, and the clean is judged against your check-in inventory as before. What licensing does is put the home on the council’s register, with conditions on its management.
What the clean covers
Tulse Hill is in the Thames Water area. Thames Water takes 65% of its water from rivers and 35% from underground, and the water picks up calcium from chalk and limestone on the way, so supplies here are hard. Limescale on a shower screen looks like dirt to a clerk, and descaling is part of every clean at no extra charge.
- Kitchen: inside and outside of every cupboard and drawer, worktops and tiles, hob, extractor hood and filter, sink and taps descaled, fridge and freezer (defrosted the night before), washing machine drawer and door seal, and the floor behind anything that slides out.
- Bathroom: shower screen, taps, shower head and tiles descaled, grout scrubbed, bath, basin, toilet and the extractor fan cover.
- Every room: skirting, doors and frames, radiators, switches and sockets, sills and windows from the inside, inside wardrobes, floors vacuumed and mopped, cobwebs down from high ceilings.
The cleaners are vetted (each one interviewed in person), insured and trained on our 57-point checklist. We have been working in London since 2014, more than 300 letting agents use us, and the tenants we have cleaned for have recovered £1.2m in deposits. We are rated 4.7 on Google.
Cleaning cannot fix damage. A burn on a worktop or a chipped bath is a repair, and the clerk will record it as one.
Adding the oven or carpets
The oven is never in the fixed price. With the end of tenancy clean, a single or single wide oven is £31, and a double or a 90cm range cooker £62. The oven cleaning page covers an oven booked on its own.
Carpet cleaning added to the clean is cheaper than booking it separately: £29 a bedroom, £36 a living room, £47 a through lounge, £35 a flight of stairs, £20 a hallway and £8 a landing. Read the tenancy agreement for a carpet clause first. A house or a maisonette usually has a flight of stairs inside, so count it. Standalone prices are on our carpet cleaning page.
The price is the same for the same number of bedrooms; the time on site is not.
If you are staying, a deep clean costs £26 per cleaner per hour, with two cleaners for at least three hours (from £186); see our deep cleaning page.
Booking around the Tulse Hill gyratory
Three main roads meet at the bottom of the hill: the A204 (Tulse Hill itself), the A205 South Circular and the A215 Norwood Road, which runs south to West Norwood. The one-way system around them is busy at peak times, so allow for it if you are meeting the cleaners with keys. Tulse Hill station is in zone 3, with Southern trains to London Bridge via Peckham Rye and Thameslink trains on the Wimbledon loop.
Parking depends on the street. Lambeth’s Tulse Hill zone H is controlled from 8.30am to 6.30pm, Monday to Friday. In 2025 the council consulted on a new zone J for Tulse Hill West, controlled from 10am to 4pm on weekdays, so read the signs on your road. Visitor permits from your household save a pay-and-display charge.
When you book, tell us the postcode, the bedroom count, the floor and whether there is a lift, and add any oven or carpets. The home needs to be empty, with electricity and hot water on. End-of-month dates go first. If anything is flagged within 48 hours, the cleaners return and re-clean it free.
All the areas we cover are listed below this page and on our Lambeth end of tenancy cleaning page.
End of tenancy cleaning Tulse Hill FAQs
My flat is in a converted villa on Upper Tulse Hill. Will it cost more?
No. The price follows the bedroom count, so a one-bed conversion is £207 like any other one-bed. High ceilings and sash windows take longer, and that is our time, not your bill.
Do you clean on the Tulse Hill Estate and Cressingham Gardens?
Yes. A flat or house on either estate is priced by bedrooms in the same way. Tell us the block or house number and the floor when you book.
Does Lambeth’s selective licensing cover my flat?
Almost certainly, if it is privately let to one household; since 1 September 2025 the scheme covers every Lambeth ward except Vauxhall and Waterloo and South Bank. A shared house needs the additional HMO licence instead.
Is the oven part of the fixed price?
No. It is always an add-on: £31 for a single oven, £62 for a double.
Can my landlord tell me which cleaning company to use?
No. The Tenant Fees Act 2019 stops a landlord charging you for, or requiring, a professional clean as a condition of the let. You still have to return the home as clean as it was at check-in, less fair wear and tear, or the cost can come out of your deposit.
