Post-war houses on the old plotland hills
Biggin Hill grew in an odd way. The University of Greenwich's Ideal Homes history says the Aperfield Estate sold small building plots for as little as £10 in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the buyers were ordinary Londoners who built their own weekend huts. After the Second World War developers bought up many plots and rebuilt the houses, Kent County Council's plan zoned land for homes, and the population grew fast in the two decades after 1961.
The Council Tax records show the result. Of the homes round the village centre with a recorded build date, 55.5% were built between 1945 and 1972 and 33.1% between 1973 and 1999, while only 30 date from 2015 or later. In the ward 38.8% of households live in detached houses, 27.5% in semis, 21.1% in terraces and 12.5% in flats.
Extensions and refits in a 1960s or 1970s house
With so little new building, much of the work in Biggin Hill is owners improving what they have: a single-storey extension across the back, a kitchen moved into the old dining room, a loft turned into a bedroom with its own shower room. A new shower room adds to the price: every extra bathroom adds roughly an hour and a half of cleaner time, because new tiles, grout and sealant all need going over by hand.
A kitchen refit puts a fine layer inside every cupboard and drawer, on top of the fridge housing and along the skirting of the hall, and loft dust comes down the new stairs onto the landing and into every bedroom. The crew starts at the top of the house and works down, so a finished room is never dusted again from above. A 3-bed after a refurbishment usually takes 2 cleaners for 5 hours, £332 all in; a 5-bed takes 3 cleaners for 5 hours, £482. If the dust is the main problem, construction dust cleaning explains why the crew dusts every surface more than once.
Parking, rubble and new houses off Main Road
Bromley's list of controlled parking zones has none in Biggin Hill, so there are no visitor vouchers to buy. A detached house usually has room on the drive; tell the office when it rings to confirm the booking, and the crew parks there.
The borough's tip at Churchfields Road is in Beckenham, at the other end of Bromley, and it refuses waste from paid trades work, so the builder or a licensed waste carrier takes the old kitchen, the offcuts and the rubble before the crew comes. The crew does not move builders' waste or materials. The TN16 postcode runs on into Westerham and Tatsfield, which are in Sevenoaks and Tandridge districts, so the skip licence and the tip rules belong to whichever council covers your street.
The few new homes here are small infill schemes: the council's brownfield register includes 136 Main Road and the former 41 Sunningvale Avenue, both given planning permission in 2017. A new house needs a handover clean: labels and film off the glass, grout haze off the bathroom walls and dust out of every cupboard.
Windows on a detached house
A detached house has glass on four sides. Inside, the crew cleans every pane, frame, sill and track and takes labels off new glazing as part of the clean. Outside glass is an add-on, priced by the size of the house from £66, and done only where the crew can reach it safely from the ground or from inside with a ladder of about 2 metres. Upstairs windows that open inwards are usually fine; a gable window above a conservatory is not. Paint and labels off new windows has the details.
Biggin Hill sits on the southern edge of the borough. The road north-east runs down to Orpington, and Purley (CR8) is over the Croydon border to the west. After builders cleaning in Bromley covers the council's skip and scaffold licences, and our prices has every size of home.
