End of Tenancy Cleaning East Dulwich

Parquet flooring is common in East Dulwich's period conversions and mansion blocks and is the most frequently failed inspection point with KFH in SE22. We use specialist wood-safe pH-neutral products applied with microfibre flat mops — standard floor cleaners applied with excess moisture lift the parquet blocks or dull the finish and agents see it immediately. Method is adjusted based on whether the floor is sealed, oiled or original unfinished parquet. Mention parquet at booking so we bring the appropriate solution.

Yes — top-floor conversions without lifts are standard across SE22's Victorian terrace stock. Our teams carry equipment in compact portable kits designed for narrow staircases and limited access, and are experienced in these buildings throughout East Dulwich. For properties with particularly difficult access, we size the team to include additional carriers so cleaning time is not compromised.

We'll always try — visit our same-day tenancy cleaning page to check current SE22 availability or call directly. East Dulwich Overground station's London Overground connections give our teams reliable direct access to the postcode for urgent requests.

Garden paths, decking and patio areas are included where your tenancy covers external areas. For SE22's garden flats near Peckham Rye Park, decking accumulated organic debris from spring and autumn is a specific inspection point; confirm external scope at booking so we allocate time and bring appropriate pressure cleaning equipment for weathered decking surfaces.

Yes — Thames Water's Southwark supply across SE22 deposits calcium carbonate on bathroom tiles, shower screens and chrome fittings at a rate that standard bathroom spray cannot address at inspection standard. We apply specialist descalers with appropriate dwell time as standard on every East Dulwich clean, including extended treatment for long-standing buildup. KFH and Pedder check bathroom surfaces directly on SE22 handovers. Our limescale removal guide explains what agents look for.

We work regularly with KFH on Lordship Lane, Foxtons, Pedder and Winkworth throughout SE22. KFH inspect kitchen appliances, original floor condition and bathroom surfaces closely. Foxtons check period features and window condition on the Victorian stock. Pedder and Winkworth are thorough on carpet and bathroom standards across the broader SE22 market. See our guide on what SE22 letting agents focus on at handover.

Our 72-hour re-clean guarantee means we return first to address any legitimate concerns at no cost. If deductions are then raised without valid grounds, our guide to challenging unfair deposit claims explains the dispute process through the relevant tenancy deposit scheme and what documentation from your clean strengthens your case.

Many SE22 tenancy agreements — particularly those on larger Victorian properties managed by KFH and Foxtons — include a professional cleaning clause. If yours does, it is enforceable. Even without one, you must return the property to its move-in condition to recover your deposit. Our article on whether your landlord can insist on professional cleaning explains your legal position clearly.

Remove all personal belongings, defrost the fridge and freezer, and ensure clear access to all rooms. For properties near the Lordship Lane restaurant strip, flag proximity at booking. For garden flats near Peckham Rye Park, clear garden furniture from decking or patio areas if possible. For parquet or original floorboard properties, confirm floor type at booking. Our East Dulwich move-out checklist covers everything to sort before your clean.
