Move-in cleaning for mansion blocks, stucco townhouses and period apartments in Kensington
Most homes in Kensington are mansion blocks, stucco townhouses and period apartments, and each type has its own cleaning challenges. Period apartments have high ceilings, cornicing, parquet or marble floors and delicate finishes. High-value lets are checked against detailed inventories, so we cover cornicing, door frames, marble surfaces and inside every cupboard.
We use pH-neutral products on marble and stone, and arrange porter or concierge access before arriving. We know the area around Kensington Gardens and Kensington High Street well.
Tips before your move-in clean in Kensington
These simple steps help our Kensington team get the best result in the time booked.
- Book the clean for after you collect the keys and before your furniture arrives.
- Line kitchen drawers and shelves after the clean if you like, as everything will be dry and fresh.
- Change the locks and test smoke alarms on moving day.
- Ask the agent or seller for appliance manuals so you know how to use them once they are clean.

How to book move-in cleaning in Kensington
Booking takes a couple of minutes. Get an instant price online by choosing your service, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms and any extras, then enter your Kensington postcode (W8) to check availability. We confirm a fixed price and your date by email, and you can manage everything from your online account.
Our cleaners reach Kensington using High Street Kensington (District, Circle) or by van with all equipment. Parking is limited and permit-only, so we plan access with porters and arrange parking before arrival. You do not need to be at home: many customers leave a key or a lockbox code, and we message you when the clean is finished. Our move-in clean teams also work across nearby Chelsea (SW3), Notting Hill (W11), South Kensington (SW7), Earls Court (SW5), Holland Park (W11) and North Kensington (W10), so if you are moving between neighbourhoods we can clean both homes on the same day.
