A 1930s semi off the Hertford Road after three years of family traffic is the Turkey Street job we get most. You do not get a deposit back on a house like that with a hopeful weekend. You get it back by cleaning to the inventory the Enfield clerk actually walks.
Last updated April 2026. Written for tenants, landlords and letting agents handing back property in Turkey Street and the roads around it: Bullsmoor, Bulls Cross and the Hertford Road end of Enfield, EN3.
We are Monster Cleaning Ltd, a domestic cleaning company working across north London since 2014. End of tenancy cleaning in Turkey Street starts at £207 for a one-bed flat and £243 for a two-bed, cleaned against the check-out report your agent will use. That is the whole offer; the rest is the detail.
Turkey Street is a particular sort of place to clean. It is the strip of Enfield up by the Bullsmoor and Bulls Cross end, where Turkey Street the road runs east to west between the A10 Great Cambridge Road and the A1010 Hertford Road, with Turkey Street station on the Lea Valley line just off it.
The housing is not the inner-London mix people picture when they hear "Enfield". It is mostly interwar: long runs of 1930s semis and short terraces built out along the Hertford Road, the kind with a bay window, a side return and a kitchen extended out the back at some point in the last forty years.
North of Turkey Street you get the Elsinge estate, a garden-estate layout of ex-council and right-to-buy houses set back in green, plus older Victorian stock toward Forty Hill and newer infill where land has come up. We clean all of it. The check-out problems differ by type, and an agent running a portfolio across EN3 knows that as well as we do.
Why Turkey Street deposits get deducted
Most deductions on a Turkey Street tenancy come down to three things, none of them exotic. The clerk does not invent problems. They compare what is in front of them against the check-in inventory, line by line, and write down the gaps. The gaps are predictable.
The first is the kitchen. On the 1930s semis it has almost always been knocked into the side return or pushed out the back, and the cooker sits under a hood nobody has ever deep cleaned. The oven cavity might get a wipe; the side runners, the grill compartment, the extractor filter and the tops of the wall units do not.
A clerk opens the oven door, pulls the filter, runs a finger along the top of a cupboard. Three lines before they have left the room. On the smaller ex-council kitchens on the Elsinge side the grease ends up on the tiles, the ceiling and the extractor grille instead.
The second is hard water, and Enfield has a real problem with it. The supply across EN3 is very hard; Affinity Water reports it at roughly 314 mg/l as calcium carbonate, among the hardest in London and second only to Barnet, per Affinity Water’s hardness data. It puts a chalky film on every tap, screen, kettle and toilet, and a tenant who has lived there three years has stopped seeing it.
The clerk has not. Scale on the bath taps and a cloudy screen is one of the most common single deductions written up on Enfield check-outs, and it loses people money out of proportion to the work because dried scale photographs as neglect even where the bathroom is otherwise spotless.
It is not stained porcelain, it is scale, and removing it properly means a weak acid descaler worked into the surface and given time, not a quick spray and wipe. We treat the whole wet area on a Turkey Street clean as a descaling job by default.
The third is everything at height and everything behind. Dust on the picture rails and coving in the older houses near Forty Hill. The floor behind the fridge and washing machine. Skirting along the hall. Window tracks.
And on the family houses off the Hertford Road, the carpets: stair traffic lanes and worn bedroom-carpet patches are the line we see flagged more than any other on the larger Turkey Street properties, because a clerk checks the carpet against the move-in photo and a three-year-old stain does not argue back.
The Renters’ Rights Act 2025
The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 reshaped the backdrop. Fixed terms are largely gone, so more tenancies end on shorter rolling notice and check-outs land at less convenient moments, with less time to clean than people expect. What the Act did not change is the cleaning standard.
The deposit still sits in a government-backed protection scheme, and a disputed cleaning deduction is still decided by an adjudicator reading the check-in and check-out evidence side by side. The text is on the legislation.gov.uk record. The practical effect on a Turkey Street hand-back is simple: less notice, same standard, so the clean has to be right first time because there may not be a second weekend to fix it.
Enfield’s selective licensing regime
Enfield has a licensing quirk worth stating plainly, because it changes how hard an agent reads a check-out. The council does not run a single borough-wide licensing scheme: it runs a selective one, designated ward by ward. The previous selective licensing scheme covered fourteen named wards, Turkey Street among them, and ran to the end of August 2026.
Its replacement, approved by the cabinet on 22 April 2026, covers seventeen wards and started on 1 September 2026 for five years. Turkey Street sits inside the designated area under both. The ward list is on Enfield Council’s selective licensing page. Why does it matter to a tenant?
A licensed landlord is held to property-condition standards and their conduct is on a council record, so their tolerance for absorbing a cleaning cost is lower. An agent acting for a licensed Turkey Street landlord checks the clean harder, not softer. If a deduction is disputed, the adjudicators at the Tenancy Deposit Scheme rule on the photographs, so the standard of the clean is what decides it.

We cover the whole Turkey Street area and the roads people mean when they say it, including:
- Turkey Street itself, the full run from the A10 Great Cambridge Road end across to the Hertford Road, including the roads around Turkey Street station
- The Hertford Road (A1010) frontage and the 1930s semis and terraces on the roads behind it toward Enfield Highway
- Bullsmoor Lane and the Bulls Cross roads up toward the M25 J25 and the Hertford Road junction
- Ordnance Road and the streets running down toward Enfield Lock and Enfield Island Village
- Carterhatch Lane and the roads feeding the A10, plus the streets toward Forty Hill and Forty Hall
- The Elsinge estate and the garden-estate ex-council and right-to-buy houses north of Turkey Street
If your postcode is EN3 5 or EN3 6 and you are anywhere near Turkey Street, the Hertford Road or Bullsmoor Lane, we cover you. We work the neighbouring Enfield wards too, so if you are closer to our Enfield Lock end of tenancy team or down toward Ponders End we can route the nearest crew.
A word on access, because it shapes how we plan a Turkey Street job. Turkey Street station sits on the Lea Valley line (the Southbury Loop, run as part of the London Overground) with trains into Liverpool Street via Seven Sisters and Tottenham Hale. It opened in 1891, was called Forty Hill until 1960, and is a small, quiet stop in fare zone 6.
An inventory clerk travelling out from a central office often builds their arrival window around that line rather than the road, so we time the clean to finish and air the house before they get off the train. The road side is the A10 and the Hertford Road, both feeding the M25 at junction 25 just north, so through-traffic is heavy at the wrong times and we schedule crews to avoid forty minutes parked on the A10 on the way to you.
One useful local point: the Turkey Brook runs alongside the Hertford Road through the Forty Hall parkland nearby, and the older Victorian houses around Forty Hill carry more original mouldings and picture rails than the 1930s semis, exactly where the at-height dust deductions come from on those properties.
What is included
One fixed scope, priced by the size of the property, cleaned against the check-out. People mix up three cleans. End of tenancy is the hand-back clean, the one that has to match the move-in inventory so you get the deposit back.
A deep clean is what you book when you are staying. A regular clean is the fortnightly upkeep. The work below is the first one, cleaned to the clerk’s report rather than a general idea of tidy. Here is what the crew does, room by room:
- Kitchen oven: Shelves and side runners out, door glass split and cleaned between the panes where the model allows, cavity degreased by hand.
- Kitchen extractor: Metal filter soaked and degreased, hood and grille cleaned, the tiled splashback and wall above the hob taken back (the part of the extended kitchen clerks always pull apart on the 1930s semis).
- Kitchen units: Fronts, handles and the tops of the wall cupboards, the surface an Enfield clerk checks by hand first, because between tenancies it is almost never done.
- Behind the white goods: Fridge and washing machine pulled where safe, the floor and wall behind them cleaned, the fridge defrosted and wiped inside and out.
- Worktops and sink: Surfaces, tiles and grout cleaned, the sink and mixer tap descaled until the chalk film is off the metal.
- Bathroom scale: Bath, basin and shower descaled, screen cleared, taps and showerhead taken back to clean chrome. On EN3 water this is the longest single job in the house.
- Toilet: Cleaned inside and out, the scale ring under the waterline removed rather than scrubbed at and left.
- Tiles and grout: Bathroom and kitchen tiling cleaned, mould spotting on the sealant treated where it has not stained the silicone through.
- Bedrooms and living rooms: Skirting, picture rails and coving, the tops of doors and frames, switches and sockets, radiators front and back, including the older mouldings in the Forty Hill houses.
- Floors and carpets: Carpets vacuumed thoroughly and hard floors washed; full carpet shampoo and extraction is a separate add-on, usually worth it on the family houses off the Hertford Road.
- Windows: Cleaned inside, frames and tracks done. The track is where a Turkey Street clerk finds the dirt a quick clean skips.
- Throughout: Cobwebs down, internal glass and mirrors, light fittings dusted, bin areas cleaned, the house left aired and ready for the clerk to walk.
We do not move furniture out or take rubbish away as standard. An empty house photographs better at the check-out and that is on you to arrange. If the property is part-furnished, say so when you book so the crew is sized right.
What it costs
Flat pricing, no survey, no hourly creep. End of tenancy in Turkey Street: a studio is £156, a one-bed £207, a two-bed £243, a three-bed £339 and a four-bed £425. If you would rather have cleaners by the hour for a part-job it is £30 per cleaner per hour, though for a full check-out the fixed price is almost always cheaper and carries the guarantee.
| Property | End of tenancy price |
|---|---|
| Studio | £156 |
| 1-bed | £207 |
| 2-bed | £243 |
| 3-bed | £339 |
| 4-bed | £425 |
| Part property or unusual layout, per cleaner per hour | £30 |
Carpet shampoo is a separate add-on because not every check-out needs it: £29 per bedroom, £36 for a living room, or £94 for two bedrooms and a living room. Oven cleaning is an add-on to the end of tenancy clean: £31 for a single and £62 for a double or a 90cm range cooker.
On the family houses off the Hertford Road the stair and bedroom carpets are very often the one thing the check-out singles out, so read your check-in report before deciding whether to add it.
Why book this rather than scrub it yourself? The arithmetic favours it. An agent’s own contractor bills the landlord at a rate set to be safe, not cheap, and that comes off your deposit with a margin added.
A clerk’s cleaning deduction on a three-bed in Enfield routinely runs past what the clean would have cost up front. We have recovered over £1.2m in deposits for tenants who did exactly that sum, and 300+ letting agents have seen our work on managed properties.
What your agent will actually check
An Enfield check-out is not a glance around the door. The clerk works from the check-in inventory in order. On a Turkey Street property the sequence is fairly predictable:
- Kitchen first: oven door open, side runners and grill checked, the extractor filter pulled, the tops of the units checked by hand.
- Bathroom second: taps and screen inspected dry for scale, the toilet checked under the rim and below the waterline, grout and sealant looked over.
- Behind and under: fridge and washing machine moved where accessible, the floor and the wall behind them photographed against the check-in.
- At height: picture rails, coving and the tops of doors, especially in the older Forty Hill houses where dust gathers and never shows from the floor.
- Floors and windows last: carpets compared to the move-in photos, stairs and bedroom traffic lanes looked at closely, hard floors, window glass and the tracks.
Every one of those points is on our 57-point agent-approved checklist, in roughly the order the clerk uses it. That is the whole reason we clean to the check-out rather than a generic spec: the order the work is done is the order it gets inspected.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is end of tenancy cleaning in Turkey Street?
A studio is £156, a one-bed £207, a two-bed £243, a three-bed £339 and a four-bed £425. That is the fixed price for the full check-out clean with no site survey. Carpet shampoo is a separate add-on from £29 a bedroom because not every inventory calls for it.
Do you clean the 1930s semis off the Hertford Road as well as the flats?
Yes. We work all the Turkey Street housing types: the interwar semis and terraces along the Hertford Road, the ex-council and right-to-buy houses on the Elsinge estate north of Turkey Street, and the older Victorian houses toward Forty Hill. The crew size is matched to the property.
Why is hard water such a problem on Enfield check-outs?
Because the Enfield supply is very hard. Affinity Water reports it at roughly 314 mg/l, among the hardest in London and second only to Barnet. It leaves a chalky film on every tap, screen and toilet, and scale on the bathroom fittings is one of the single most common cleaning deductions written up on Turkey Street check-outs.
Does the Enfield selective licensing scheme affect my deposit?
Not directly, but it changes how carefully the clean is checked. Enfield runs a selective licensing scheme designated ward by ward, not a single borough-wide one. The previous scheme covered fourteen wards including Turkey Street and ended in August 2026; its replacement, approved by the cabinet in April 2026, has covered seventeen wards since 1 September 2026 and still takes in the Turkey Street area. Licensed landlords are held to condition standards and scrutinise check-outs harder.
Can you clean on the day of the check-out?
Usually yes. We try to slot the clean for the day before or the morning of your check-out so the house is fresh when the inventory clerk arrives. Tell us the check-out date when you book and we will work the schedule around it.
Is the oven included or is it extra?
The oven is an add-on to the end of tenancy price, from £31: cavity, shelves, side runners and the door glass where the model allows. If you only want the oven done as a standalone job it is £77 single, £110 double and £143 for a 90cm range cooker.
What is the 48-hour re-clean guarantee?
If the inventory clerk flags a cleaning point we were responsible for, tell us within 48 hours of the clean and we come back and put it right at no charge. It is why we clean to the check-out report rather than a generic spec in the first place.
Do I need to empty the house before you arrive?
Yes, as far as you can. We do not remove furniture or take rubbish away as standard, and an empty house both cleans faster and photographs better at the check-out. If it is part-furnished, tell us when booking so we send the right size of crew.
Do you do the stair and bedroom carpets the Hertford Road houses fail on?
Yes. Carpet shampoo and extraction is £29 per bedroom, £36 a living room, or £94 for two bedrooms and a living room. On the family houses off the Hertford Road the stair and bedroom carpets are very often the single line on the check-out, so check your check-in report before deciding.
Do you work with letting agents directly?
Yes. More than 300 letting agents have used us on managed properties, including across Enfield’s EN3 stock with agents such as the Kings Group branch covering Enfield Highway. We can invoice the agent or the landlord directly and clean to whatever check-out template the managing agent uses.
Which Turkey Street postcodes do you cover?
EN3 5 and EN3 6 around Turkey Street, the Hertford Road and Bullsmoor Lane, including Ordnance Road, Carterhatch Lane, the Bulls Cross roads and the Elsinge estate. If you are nearby and not sure, call and ask.
How do I book?
Call 0333 555 2076 or email office@monstercleaning.com with your property size, Turkey Street postcode and check-out date. We confirm a fixed price and a slot in one short conversation, no site visit needed.
