Selective licensing in Belvedere and the clean before a let
Bexley's licensing guide lists one selective scheme, and it covers Belvedere ward alone. From 13 January 2025 to 12 January 2030 a house or flat let to a single household here needs a licence; outside the ward, a let like that needs none. 26.5% of Belvedere households rent privately, against 15.3% across the borough, so plenty of the building work here is a landlord's refit between tenancies.
For a home that has to be ready to let, the order is works finished, rubbish out, clean, then the inventory or the inspection. The crew does the kitchen cupboards inside once they are empty, then the worktops, the splashback and the bathroom tiles, grout and screen. Every switch, socket and radiator is wiped, and the inside of the windows is cleaned with any labels taken off new glazing. Carpets are vacuumed as standard; carpet cleaning for a let is an add-on, a bedroom at £36.
Victorian villas on Erith Road and Woolwich Road
Two conservation areas lie within 800 metres of the middle of Belvedere ward: Erith Road and Woolwich Road. Bexley designated Erith Road on 14 February 2004, and its appraisal describes a virtually unaltered Victorian and Edwardian suburb by four local architects, strung along the ridge between Erith and Plumstead: red brick, timber gables, finials on the roofs and gothic windows behind long front gardens. The old Erith Technical Institute at the east end is now the flats of Old College Court. In the Council Tax records 19.4% of local homes with a recorded build date went up before 1919.
A refurbishment in one of these houses leaves dust where a modern home has none: the mouldings round gothic window heads, tall skirting, deep sills and the tops of high doors. The crew's ladders reach about 2 metres, so mention high ceilings when you send photos. A four-bedroom Victorian semi usually takes 3 cleaners for 4 hours, £392 all in. Outside glass on a house this size is extra and only done where it can be reached safely; outside window cleaning starts at £66.
New homes planned along the riverside
Bexley's Local Plan sets at least 740 homes at Crabtree Manorway South, and the London Plan puts Belvedere inside the Bexley Riverside opportunity area. The council's brownfield register lists more sites for new homes nearby, among them the Belvedere gas holders, which have no planning permission yet. Already 15.2% of local homes, 470 in all, date from 2015 or later.
A handover clean in a new flat is lighter work than a Victorian refit: a 1-bed with light dust takes 2 cleaners for 3 hours, £212 all in, mostly fine dust in the cupboards, stickers on the glass and smears on new sanitaryware.
Belvedere sits between Abbey Wood to the west and Erith to the east, with Thamesmead to the north-west. The council's skip, tip and parking rules are on the page for the rest of Bexley, and what a builders clean costs lists every size of home.

Do I need a landlord licence to let a flat in Belvedere?
For a home let to a single household in Belvedere ward, yes, under Bexley's selective scheme running to 12 January 2030; the council's licensing guide has the details. The builders clean is booked separately and can be timed before the inspection or the tenant.
How much is a builders clean for a 2-bed flat in Belvedere?
After a refurbishment it usually takes 2 cleaners for 4 hours: £272 all in, at £30 per cleaner-hour plus £32 for equipment and detergents. After a full renovation allow 2 cleaners for 5 hours, £332.
Is cleaning the outside of the windows included?
No, it is an add-on, done only where the glass can be reached safely from inside or from the ground. The inside of every window, with frames, sills and tracks, is part of the builders clean.
Can you come the week the builders finish?
Usually, if you book about a week ahead; Fridays and weekends go first. Photos or a video by email help the office set the crew and hours.
