Upper Edmonton check-outs, room by room
Most rented homes in Upper Edmonton are one of two things: a stock-brick Victorian terrace from the building rush north of Silver Street, or a flat on one of the council estates either side of Fore Street. We clean both at a fixed price set by bedrooms, starting at £156 for a studio and £207 for a one-bed flat, and this page follows the route a check-out clerk takes through an N18 home.
Last updated October 2026.
A clerk with the check-in inventory in hand usually starts at the front door and works inwards. So do we.
Entrance and hall first. In a converted terrace the street door often opens onto a shared hall and a staircase up to the top flat. The clerk checks the inside of your own front door, the skirting, the meter cupboard and the light switches. On the estates, the hall is short, and the first thing anyone sees is the door frame and the floor by the mat, where a winter of wet shoes leaves a grey tidemark.
The kitchen is where most deposit deductions start. The clerk opens cupboards, pulls out the drawers, looks at the extractor filter and lifts the hob trivets. Tiled splashbacks in the older estate kitchens mean a lot of grout lines; gloss doors in the newer flats show every fingerprint. We clean inside and out, pull out the cooker or washing machine where it moves, and clean the floor and wall behind it.
In the bathroom: taps, shower screen, tiles, the plug hole and the toilet base. In this part of north London the scale builds quickly (more on the water below), so the bathroom takes longer than people expect.
Bedrooms and the living room get the same treatment: inside wardrobes, on top of door frames, along skirting and picture rails, behind radiators. The Victorian houses have deep window reveals and bay windows that collect dust in the corners; estate flats have long runs of metal-framed or uPVC windows with drainage slots that fill with grit.
We clean window glass, frames and sills from the inside. On upper floors that is as far as anyone can safely reach, and clerks know it.
Prices for a clean in N18
The price is fixed by bedroom count and covers the full checklist. Nothing about the building, the floor or the age of the kitchen changes it.
| Property | Price |
|---|---|
| Studio | £156 |
| One-bedroom flat or house | £207 |
| Two bedrooms | £243 |
| Three bedrooms | £339 |
| Four bedrooms | £425 |
| Five bedrooms or more | quoted from the room count |
| Part of a home, or an unusual layout | £30 per cleaner per hour |
The oven is an add-on and never part of the fixed price: £31 for a single or a single wide oven, and £62 for a double or a 90cm range cooker. Our oven cleaning page covers it as a job on its own.
Carpets cleaned on the same visit cost £29 a bedroom, £36 a living room, £47 a through lounge, £35 a flight of stairs, £20 a hallway and £8 a landing. Check the inventory for a carpet clause before adding it; the standalone service is on our carpet cleaning page.
Use the calculator at the top of the page for your own figure. If we have to pay to park, that cost is added at what it costs us.

Upper Edmonton is the southern half of Edmonton and the N18 postcode; Lower Edmonton is the N9 half to the north. The shopping run on Fore Street is still called the Angel, after a pub that was pulled down in 1968 to widen the North Circular.
Most of the housing was built in three periods.
- Late Victorian terraces. The Victoria County History records large-scale building, mostly terraced houses, north of Silver Street and along Silver Street and Angel Road in the 1880s and 1890s. Angel Road had been empty because it flooded; it was built up once the road was made and the stream put in a concrete channel in 1883. The same history describes Edmonton’s terraces as stock brick with heavy bay windows and slate roofs.
- Interwar council estates. By 1940 the Brookfield and Montagu estates had gone up east of Fore Street, and the Woolmer estate south of Angel Road.
- Post-war blocks. Council flats went up at Snells Park, west of Upper Fore Street, and at Angel Road North and South from the 1960s.
The Joyce Avenue and Snell’s Park estates, built in the late 1950s and 1960s, are now being replaced. Enfield Council’s plan is for more than 2,000 new homes there, and its contractor, Hill, started on the first block in June 2026: 50 council homes off College Close near Gilpin Crescent. Until the later phases are built, tenants are still moving in and out of the older blocks around them, and we clean flats at both ends of the estate.
Pymmes Park, opened in 1906, is Upper Edmonton’s park. Silver Street station, on the London Overground’s Weaver line, has served this side since 1872.
Enfield licensing from September 2026
Enfield’s new selective licensing scheme started on 1 September 2026. It covers privately rented homes let to one or two people or to a single family in 17 of the borough’s 25 wards, and Upper Edmonton is one of the 13 wards in Designation 1. Shared houses come under a separate scheme: the borough-wide additional HMO licence, in force since 1 September 2025, applies where three or more people from more than one household share a kitchen or bathroom.
Licensing is the landlord’s job. It does not move the bar for your clean, which is still the check-in inventory, with fair wear and tear allowed. What it does mean is that more N18 lets now have a paper trail: inspections, conditions and managing agents who keep records.
Renting here has grown fast. A council report puts private renting at 32.8% of Enfield’s housing stock in 2025, up from 23.6% of households in 2011. The ONS average rent in Enfield was £1,827 a month in August 2026. Deposits are capped at five weeks’ rent where the yearly rent is under £50,000, so at that average about £2,100 sits with the deposit scheme until the check-out report is agreed.
Limescale from the Edmonton supply zone
Thames Water publishes a yearly report for each supply zone. For the zone it calls Edmonton, the 2025 samples averaged 260 mg/l of hardness (as calcium carbonate), with readings between 231 and 284. That counts as hard water.
For a tenant it shows up as white crust round the tap bases, a milky film on the shower screen and a ring inside the kettle and toilet bowl. Descaling is part of every clean we do here. We work it in with a descaler and give it time to act, because scraping scratches chrome and glass, and a scratch is something the clerk can charge for.
Descaling is part of every clean we do here.
Getting to an Upper Edmonton flat on the day
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is just over the borough line in Haringey, at the southern edge of Upper Edmonton. On match and event days Enfield runs two event-day controlled parking zones, South Edmonton and Sunnyside, from 12 noon to 9pm. If your key handover lands on one of those days, tell us when you book; we can start in the morning and finish before the zones switch on.
Meridian Water station, which opened in June 2019 and replaced Angel Road station, sits on the east side by the Lea Valley, and Silver Street is the stop for the west. On the Joyce and Snell’s estate, the footpath linking Joyce Avenue with Grove Street and Langhedge Lane closes from 5 October 2026 while Hill builds the energy centre, so give us the block name and the nearest entrance.
Our cleaners are vetted with an in-person interview, insured and trained on our 57-point checklist. We have been cleaning since 2014, more than 300 letting agents work with us, and tenants have won back £1.2m in deposits. Our Google rating is 4.7. If the letting agent or clerk flags something within 48 hours of the clean, we go back and put it right for free. Call 0333 555 2076, 8am to 7pm, seven days a week.

Upper Edmonton end of tenancy FAQs
I’m moving out of a two-bed flat on the Joyce Avenue estate. How much will the clean be?
£243, fixed. A single oven adds £31 if it needs doing.
My check-out is on a Spurs match day. Is that a problem?
Usually not. The South Edmonton and Sunnyside event-day zones run from 12 noon to 9pm, so we plan an early start. Any parking we pay for shows on your quote.
Does the new Enfield licence change what I have to leave behind?
No. Licensing is between the landlord and the council. You hand the home back in the condition shown on the check-in inventory, allowing for fair wear and tear.
I rent the top flat of a converted terrace off Silver Street. Do the stairs cost extra?
The stairs inside your flat are part of the clean. Carpet on them is £35 a flight if you want it shampooed. Shared stairs are normally the landlord’s to clean, so check your tenancy.
Can you just do the kitchen and bathroom before the inventory?
Yes. Part jobs are charged by the hour at £30 per cleaner. Tell us which rooms and we will give you the time.
