End of tenancy cleaning in the City of London from £156, for the Barbican, Golden Lane and riverside flats, with a free 48-hour re-clean if the check-out flags our work.
Listed flats, and a carpet rule
Hardly anyone lives in the Square Mile, and those who do are mostly in two famous estates. The Barbican is Grade II listed concrete, built by the City Corporation, and it has a rule that catches people out: the leases require wall-to-wall carpet (wooden floors aren’t allowed, for noise) so a Barbican check-out turns on the carpet’s condition and the dust that settles high on the concrete and the big windows, not on floor scuffs.
Golden Lane, next door, is also listed, with original mid-century fittings, parquet and Crittall-style windows that need cleaning carefully rather than scrubbing. And along the river toward Blackfriars and Mansion House there are luxury conversions and glass-fronted flats, where it is limescale on the glass and chrome. The Corporation manages a lot of this stock, and its check-outs are exacting.

What it costs in the City
A studio starts at £156, a one-bed at £207, a two-bed at £243 and a three-bed at £339 for a standard end of tenancy clean. Most City homes are flats, so those are the usual sizes.
Local quotes for Barbican and EC flats run from around £116 to £369 depending on whether it is a terrace block or a tower flat, so our band is competitive. The listed flats take a careful hand rather than extra time, and a Barbican carpet is cleaned as part of the job. Send the postcode and we confirm the figure.
Careful, not abrasive.
Parking, the Congestion Charge and ULEZ
The City is the hardest place in London to bring a van, so plan it. There is no resident visitor parking to speak of (on-street is pay-by-phone only, emissions-based, and capped at about four hours) so for most City jobs the team comes in by Tube to Barbican, Moorgate or Blackfriars and works from there.
Two charges stack up on top if you do drive in: the Congestion Charge, now £18 a day, and the ULEZ at £12.50 a day for a non-compliant vehicle. If you’re booking a removal van, build both into the timing. Tell us the building and we plan access around it.
We clean to the report
City lettings run through agents like Hurford Salvi Carr on St John Street and Frank Harris on Long Lane, and a check-out, especially on a Corporation-managed flat, is an itemised, exacting report. We work down it: the carpet and high dust in the Barbican, the original detail in Golden Lane, the glass in the riverside flats.
Send over the check-out report or the check-in inventory and the team cleans to what it lists. On listed interiors that briefing really matters.
