End of tenancy cleaning for Walham Green homes

The inventory clerk in a North End Road terrace flat spends the first ten minutes with their head tipped back at the cornice and the picture rail, not looking at the floor at all. That furred grey line of plaster dust is where Fulham deposits quietly go, and a rushed clean misses it every time. So an end of tenancy clean around Walham Green is built for the person who wrote the check-in report: checklist-driven, deposit-focused, £30 per hour per cleaner, with a 48-hour re-clean guarantee measured against the check-out report. Ring 0333 555 2076 for a price in about three minutes.

Last updated June 2026. We cover Walham Green and the Fulham Broadway area across SW6, from the Broadway and the shopping centre out to North End Road, Moore Park Road, the Vineyard streets and the roads around Stamford Bridge and Eel Brook Common. This page sits inside the borough directory at End of Tenancy Cleaning Kensington & Chelsea.

How the check-in report quietly decides your deposit

Start with the mechanism, because hardly anyone does, and it is the whole game. When you took the flat, a clerk wrote a schedule of condition: every surface described, usually photographed, often with the words “as new” against the kitchen and the bathroom, because the place had just been professionally cleaned. At check-out a clerk goes back through that same schedule line by line. Anything materially worse than the opening entry, beyond fair wear and tear, comes off your deposit. You are being marked against a professional clean, which is exactly why a mop and a hopeful Sunday rarely gets a Fulham flat over the line.

The deductions land in a familiar pattern around here. Dust along the tops of the wall units and the picture rail. The wall behind the hob. Bathroom grout and the sealant line. Skirting behind where the sofa stood, and the window reveals in the tall front rooms of the older terraces. None of it is hidden. All of it is on the report. And around Fulham Broadway the managing agents instruct independent inventory clerks who get paid to notice the bits a quick going-over skips, not the landlord glancing round on their way out to Eel Brook Common.

There is a money problem working against tenants here too. So much of the stock off North End Road and Moore Park Road lets to professional households at a high rent, so the deposits are large, capped now at five weeks but still real money sitting in a scheme that someone has to account for. A cleaning deduction in this part of Fulham is not a token forty pounds, so a clean matching the 57-point agent-approved checklist closes that argument before it opens. The Tenant Fees Act 2019 means your landlord cannot write professional cleaning into the contract as a condition, so nobody can force you to book us. Damp and mould, though, are a landlord obligation rather than a tenant cleaning failure, so where we find black mould bonded into a cold corner we photograph it, and the charge stays where it belongs.

The council nobody expects: why SW6 is not Chelsea

Here is the thing people get wrong, and it matters more than it looks. Walham Green is the old name for the Fulham Broadway area, and the SW6 postcode and the proximity to the King’s Road pull everyone’s instinct towards Chelsea. The tube station on Fulham Road was even called Walham Green until 1952, when local traders had it renamed Fulham Broadway because the old name sounded too rustic. But the local authority here is the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, not the Royal Borough next door. The Walham Green and Moore Park conservation areas, the licensing rules, the rubbish collection, all of it runs through Hammersmith and Fulham.

For your check-out it does not change the clean. A mansion-block flat on Moore Park Road is handed back the same way a converted terrace flat off North End Road is, against a documented inventory rather than a casual look round. Where the council does come in is licensing, and only if your flat is a shared house: Hammersmith and Fulham runs a borough-wide additional licensing scheme for houses in multiple occupation, in force since June 2022 and set to run to June 2027, plus a selective scheme covering named streets. Neither changes your cleaning duty when you leave, but in a licensed share it is worth knowing which council you are dealing with.

The 57 points, room by room

Every Walham Green booking runs to a 57-point agent-approved checklist, built over a decade of local check-outs and tuned to what this stretch of Fulham actually gets flagged on. The full list comes with the job. Here is the shape of it.

The kitchen, where a good chunk of it is won or lost

The oven is stripped, not wiped. Racks go in a soaking tank, the door glass is split apart so the brown film between the panels comes out, and the interior, fan, element and seals are all done. The wall and tiling behind the hob come back to bare surface, with the hard-water film off the splashback and the tap. Hob rings and burners off, control knobs off and washed, gas in the period flats and induction in the new builds. Every cupboard and drawer inside and out, including the deep awkward-cornered ones in the older terrace kitchens, and the grease along the tops of the wall units. Fridge and freezer through once you have defrosted them, with the integrated units in the Stamford Bridge new builds handled their own way. Appliances pulled out so the gaps behind and under the fridge, dishwasher and washing machine are done, then put back. The washing machine drum, the detergent drawer scrubbed, and the door seal, which is the first thing the clerk opens.

Bathrooms, the other place it goes wrong in SW6

Scale comes off the taps, shower head, screen and tiles first, with a proper descaler, and in the older North End Road and Moore Park Road bathrooms that is the longest single job on the list, so we plan the time for it. Grout is scrubbed back as far as honest effort takes it, and photographed first where it is clearly past saving. Then the rest, in plain order.

• Toilet done properly: inside, under the rim, base, cistern, hinges, and behind the pedestal where nobody looks except the clerk
• Shower screen both sides, the tracks, and the sealant bead, re-done where it has gone grey or scaled
• Bath, taps, the underside of the taps, overflow and plughole; roll-top baths in some of the period conversions get their feet and underside done too
• Mirror and cabinet inside and out, extractor vent, and the floor into the corners and under the basin pedestal

Bedrooms, living rooms and the period plaster

This is where the Walham Green report leans hardest, and it is the picture rail and the cornice that do it. The tall front rooms in the converted terraces hold a fine grey band of dust along the original plasterwork that you cannot see until a clerk gets a light on it, so we take it back to clean plaster the whole length, corners and returns included. Then skirting, including behind where furniture stood, the deep window reveals, the original timber casements, sills, doors and frames, switches and sockets, radiators behind and under and on top, and built-in cupboards inside and out. Walls spot-wiped for marks, with a realistic line drawn, because nail holes and scuffs are a decorator’s bill and not yours to scrub away. Hallway, the stairs in the maisonettes, light fittings, all internal glass and the cobwebs these tall old rooms carry. Then a final walk against the checklist, photographed before and after, every room.

Two jobs often need their own pass. Professional carpet cleaning is written into a fair few Fulham tenancies as a hard requirement with a receipt at check-out, which the add-on covers on the same visit. And the tall period reveals on the North End Road flats sometimes need the outside glass doing too, which is where window cleaning folds into the booking when the inventory calls for it.

What 337 ppm of Thames Water does to a Fulham bathroom

SW6 sits in London’s hard-water zone, and that one detail loses more deposits here than almost anything except the oven. The supply from Thames Water runs off chalk and comes out around 337 parts per million of calcium carbonate, firmly in the very-hard band. Calcium builds on taps, shower heads, screens and tile joints faster than tenants expect, and a wipe with a cloth does nothing to it. The clerk checks for exactly this: a thumbnail down the tap, the shower screen edge-on against the light, the shower head pulled in close.

In the older bathrooms off North End Road and Moore Park Road the scale has had decades to set into the grout and round the bath, and there is no quick way through it. We use a proper descaler and bring the glass and the tiling back to clear rather than smearing the deposit. Up in the new-build flats by Stamford Bridge the bathrooms are modern, but the same hard water films the splashback and the tap. None of this is clever work. It is slow work done properly, which is what the clerk is checking for.

A wipe with a cloth does nothing to it, and the clerk checks for exactly this.

Walham Green street by street: four eras, one report

Walham Green packs four housing eras into a small patch, and the clerk is told to look for different things in each. A converted terrace flat off North End Road and a new build by the station share a postcode and almost nothing else. After years here the pattern is steady enough to plan the time around, so we work it in bands.

The conversions: North End Road, Moore Park Road and the Vineyard

This is the bulk of the work. Dense Victorian and Edwardian terraces split into flats and maisonettes, a lot of them in or against the Walham Green, Moore Park and Vineyard conservation areas, with the period detail named individually on the inventory: picture rails, ceiling cornice, deep window reveals, original timber casements, high skirting. Long lets mean decades of build-up in places nobody cleaned between tenants, so the report leans hard on the plaster dust and the scale. We win these check-outs on the dull, slow work.

The mansion blocks near the station

Similar stock, tighter inspection. The red-brick mansion-block flats around Fulham Broadway and Moore Park Road are solid old rooms, often with a single dated bathroom where the scale has built for years, and the clerk wants behind and under every white good and inside every fitted cupboard. The bathroom descaling is usually the headline job, and access often runs through a porter, which we sort before the day rather than on it.

The new builds towards Stamford Bridge and Fulham Broadway

The newer blocks built up towards Stamford Bridge and the Fulham Broadway shopping centre are a different animal: modern finish, integrated appliances, very little period plaster. The report on these focuses on the kitchen, the integrated units and the same hard-water film on the screen and the tap. Access usually goes through a concierge, and the operator sometimes has its own checklist on top of the standard inventory, which we clean to line by line when you send it.

We clean to the 57-point agent-approved checklist on all of it, the same checklist the Marsh and Parsons, Foxtons and Dexters clerks on this stretch mark against. Not sure which band your flat falls in, or which side of a conservation-area line it sits on? Ring 0333 555 2076 with the postcode and we will tell you in about ten seconds.

What 1 May 2026 changed for Fulham Broadway move-outs

The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 went live on 1 May 2026. Section 21 no-fault evictions are gone. Every existing assured shorthold tenancy in England has converted to a periodic tenancy, and a tenant can now give two months’ notice at any point in the year rather than waiting for a fixed term to run out.

Here is the part people get wrong. The cleaning side of a move-out did not change at all. The Tenant Fees Act still applies. The check-in benchmark still applies. The deposit maths is exactly what it was the week before. What changed is timing, and timing is the thing that bites around Fulham Broadway, which was already a high-churn patch full of one and two-year professional lets.

Let tenants leave on a rolling two months instead of a fixed end date and the move-outs get more frequent and far less predictable, so the month-end pile-up that already clogs SW6 is not going to ease. The practical takeaway is dull but it pays for itself. Book the clean earlier than you used to, because the slot you want will be gone if you wait for the last week.

What it costs, and the sum nobody runs until it is late

Walham Green runs at our standard London pricing: £30 per hour per cleaner, with kit, products and travel inside SW6 included. Those figures assume a flat in normal lived-in shape. A long tenancy with heavy wear, a pet household or a smoker’s flat costs more, and we say so on the phone rather than after. A standalone oven deep clean is £77 single, £110 double and £114 for a 90cm range, if that is all the agent flagged.

Run the sum the way the deposit makes you. A one-bed conversion at £207 to protect a deposit running into thousands is not really a decision. Every Walham Green booking carries a 48-hour re-clean guarantee: if the agent flags any cleanliness issue inside 48 hours, we come back and redo it free, provided you tell us inside that window and the flat is still as we left it. Our 97% first-time pass rate is why agents trust us, but the guarantee is the point. We are on the books of 300+ letting agents, and over the years that work has helped tenants recover £1.2m in deposits that would otherwise have gone on cleaning deductions: money that stays with the tenant instead of the landlord.

A North End Road hand-back from this spring

“We moved out of an upper-floor flat in a converted Victorian terrace just off North End Road, a two-bed we had been in for two years, both of us working long hours, so the place read tidy but the deep stuff had slipped. The flat itself was not really the problem. The one line the clerk had gone over hard at check-in was the fine plasterwork in the two front rooms: a furred grey band of dust along the original picture rail and the cornice that you cannot see until someone gets a light on it, photographed on its own line in her wording. I had run a duster along the rail and barely touched it. Monster sent two cleaners who worked the rail and the cornice back to clean plaster in both rooms, the whole length, then went round the rest against the checklist. The clerk re-checked against her own photos and signed the cleaning section off with nothing held back. Our full deposit came through the scheme inside a fortnight. For two of us out at work all week, that was money we would not have got back on our own.”
Priya and Tom, Walham Green SW6, April 2026

That is a fair picture of the period stock off North End Road. The clean cost a fraction of what was at stake. It usually does. What turned it was not the scrubbing alone but the dated photo set that went out with the invoice, the part most do-it-yourself check-outs never have when the agent pushes back.

Booking it, parking, and the Stamford Bridge problem

Booking is simple, the same steps whether it is a studio over the shops or a four-bed off Moore Park Road.

1. Ring 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected]. Price in about three minutes. Give us the postcode, the property size, the check-out date and any known problem areas, and mention anything the check-in report marked “as new”.
2. We book you in, ideally the day before check-out with a buffer. Allow about a week for an end-of-month slot, a few days mid-month.
3. Flat empty when we arrive. Furniture out, personal things gone, rubbish cleared. We also handle removals if you want the move and the clean on one booking, which helps on these tight permit streets.
4. Photo proof at the end. Every room, before and after, with an itemised invoice on company-headed paper. That is your evidence pack if the check-out tries to deduct.
5. Check-out happens. Anything flagged inside 48 hours, we come back and fix it free.

One honest note on the day. The streets off North End Road and around Moore Park Road are tight and almost entirely residents’ permit parking under Hammersmith and Fulham, so tell us the arrangement and how we get in: concierge, key safe or agent drop-off. Add a Chelsea home game at Stamford Bridge, two minutes away, and the North End Road market, and access can shut down for half a day, so for the bigger jobs we plan the timing around the fixture rather than circling Eel Brook Common for a space.

Add-ons, the right job, and the areas next door

A Walham Green move-out often pulls in more than the core clean: carpet cleaning, frequently a contractual line in Fulham tenancies, standalone oven cleaning from £77 if that is all the agent flagged, window cleaning for the tall period reveals, and upholstery cleaning for furnished lets. Three different jobs also get muddled here, and it is worth booking the right one.

Check-in inventory report

The schedule the clerk writes on day one describing every surface, with photos. It is the benchmark your check-out is judged against, which is why we clean to it and not to a generic idea of “clean”.

End-of-tenancy clean

Built to pass that inventory and get a deposit back, on an empty flat, with the 48-hour guarantee on it at £30 an hour or a fixed tier price.

Deep clean

A deep clean resets a home you are keeping, with no formal standard to hit, also from £30 an hour.

Regular domestic clean

A domestic clean is ongoing upkeep while you live there, from £22 an hour.

Questions we get asked

How much is end of tenancy cleaning in Walham Green?

A studio is £156, a one-bed £207, a two-bed £243, a three-bed £339 and a four-bed £425. Those are full prices, with kit, products and travel inside SW6 included, the same figure whether the flat is a converted terrace off North End Road, a mansion-block flat on Moore Park Road or a new build by the station. Most lets here are one and two-bed conversions, so the typical job lands between £207 and £243, with the picture-rail dust and the bathroom descaling already in that price.

Which council covers Walham Green?

The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, not the borough the SW6 postcode and the old name might suggest. People get this wrong all the time because Walham Green sits right against Chelsea, but for licensing and the local Renters’ Rights context the authority is Hammersmith and Fulham. It does not change your cleaning duty at check-out either way: you are judged against the check-in inventory, not the council.

Is there hard water to deal with around Fulham Broadway?

Yes, and a lot of it. SW6 is on Thames Water supply, which runs off chalk and comes out around 337 parts per million of calcium carbonate, firmly in the very-hard band. Scale builds fast on taps, shower screens and tiling, and in the older North End Road and Moore Park Road bathrooms it cakes into the grout and round the bath where a quick wipe never touches it. The clerks here check the bathroom glass and the taps for a cloudy film first, so we take it off with a proper descaler and bring the screen back to clear.

Does the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 change my deposit position?

Not the cleaning side of it. From 1 May 2026 Section 21 no-fault evictions are gone and every assured shorthold tenancy in England has rolled into a periodic tenancy, so a tenant can give two months’ notice at any point in the year. The Tenant Fees Act still stands and the check-out is still judged against the check-in inventory. What changed is timing: move-outs across Fulham Broadway are now more frequent and harder to predict, so book the clean earlier than you would have a year ago.

Do you guarantee the clean will pass the check-out?

We hold a 97% first-time pass rate and back every job with a 48-hour re-clean guarantee. If the clerk flags any cleanliness issue within 48 hours of the clean, we come back and redo it free, provided you tell us inside that window and the flat is still as we left it, with nobody moved in. The dated before-and-after photos we leave with the invoice are what settle most disputes before they get going.

Do you clean the cornice and picture-rail dust in the period flats?

Yes, and on the North End Road, Moore Park Road and Vineyard conversion flats it is the line that most often saves a deposit. The tall front rooms hold a fine grey band of dust along the cornice and the picture rail that you genuinely cannot see until someone gets a light on it, which is exactly what the clerk does. We take it back to clean plaster by hand, corners and cornice returns included, and nothing aggressive goes near the original detail.

How does a Chelsea home game affect the clean?

Stamford Bridge sits in SW6 a few minutes from most of our Walham Green patch, and on a match day the crowds and road closures around Fulham Road and the Broadway can shut access down for half a day. It does not change your price, but it does mean we plan the timing and parking around the fixture, so tell us the postcode and the date when you book and we will work the slot around it.

Does the flat need to be empty?

Empty is strongly preferred, so we can clean behind and under everything the clerk checks. A single piece left for the next tenant can be worked around, but the more that stays, the less complete the clean can be. If you have already moved out and nobody can be there on the day, we collect and drop keys, and on the new-build blocks by the station we will arrange access through the concierge.

What happens if my landlord disputes the clean after a re-clean?

Take it to your deposit scheme’s adjudication. Your deposit is held in a government-backed scheme, usually the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, the Deposit Protection Service or mydeposits, and the adjudicator looks at the check-in and check-out photos and at whether the flat came back to its move-in cleanliness, fair wear and tear aside. Our invoice, dated photo report and re-clean record are admissible evidence, and a tenant with a full paper trail very rarely loses.

Do you work with letting agents around Walham Green?

Yes, for tenants and for agents. We are on the books of 300+ letting agents across London, and around Fulham Broadway and North End Road that includes regular work with Marsh and Parsons on Moore Park Road, Foxtons on the Broadway and Dexters, plus a number of Fulham independents. The 57-point checklist we clean to is the one their inventory clerks mark against, so the standard is the same on both sides.
