In Brixton Acre Lane ward 31.3% of households live in flats carved out of older houses, and Complete After Builders cleans them after the works from £212 all in. A typical 2-bed conversion after a refurbishment is £272.

Brixton in numbers

Victorian conversions and where the dust settles

Around the Acre Lane end of Brixton, 74.3% of households live in flats (Census 2021, Brixton Acre Lane ward). Council Tax records put 34.9% of homes with a recorded build date in the surrounding area as built before 1900 and only 6.2% from 2015 onwards, so a lot of refurbishments here happen inside an old house that has already been split up once.

Dust from chasing walls and sanding new plaster rides up the stairwell and sits on every ledge: dado rails, the tops of tall doors, the deep sills of a bay. Victorian boards have gaps, and fine plaster sinks into them and rises again when the flat is walked on, so the crew vacuums and mops the floor early and comes back to it at the end. Upper-floor flats mean carrying vacuums and ladders up two or three flights; leave a key for the street door or prop it on the day.

A 2-bed conversion after a refurbishment usually takes 2 cleaners for 4 hours: £272 all in. A second bathroom, or plaster trodden into the boards, pushes it towards 2 cleaners for 5 hours (£332). For flats where sanding has left a film on everything, see a dust clean after sanding and plastering.

Conservation areas and mansion blocks around the town centre

Nine conservation areas fall within 800 m of the middle of Brixton Acre Lane ward, from Brixton Water Lane and Poet's Corner to Trinity Gardens and Stockwell Green. The Brixton conservation area covers the Victorian town centre, and the council's own statement says most homes inside it are mansion-block flats, on Electric Avenue, Coldharbour Lane and Rushcroft Road. Older houses nearby are stock brick and stucco with cornices, columned porches and timber sashes; St John's Crescent is three storeys over a semi-basement.

For the crew that means sash boxes and cords coated in dust and plaster mouldings that need a soft brush. Semi-basement rooms need every light working, because the clean is checked by eye. Paint flecks on old glass come off where they lift without marking it, and the crew tells you what it could not shift. The same housing carries on west into Clapham and north-east into Camberwell (SE5).

New homes on Landor Road and Somerleyton Road

The council's brownfield register lists sites for new homes nearby. One is the former Lambeth Hospital at 108 Landor Road, where Lambeth granted permission in September 2023 for nine new buildings of 3 to 18 storeys. In March 2026 the council started 187 social and affordable homes on Somerleyton Road, the next phase of a 378-home scheme.

New flats need a lighter clean than a refurbishment: dust inside the units, stickers on the glazing, grout haze on fresh tiles and silicone smears round the bath. A light clean of a new 1-bed is 2 cleaners for 3 hours, £212. Contractors handing over unit by unit can add cleaning a new kitchen or bathroom to the list for each flat.

Parking for the crew near Brixton station

Around the station the Brixton (Inner) zone is controlled Monday to Saturday, 8.30am to 6.30pm; the Brixton B zone further out stops at 5.30pm and leaves weekends free. The free one-hour bays on Brixton Station Road, Valentia Place, Electric Lane and Saltoun Road are no help for a clean that runs four or five hours.

So sort the parking when you book. A driveway or a free space is best. If you are already buying Lambeth's virtual trader vouchers for your builder, approval can take up to 10 working days, and the council does not say whether a cleaning crew qualifies, so ask it first. Skip licences, the tip and building hours across the borough are covered on after builders cleaning in Lambeth, and every total is on our prices.

Brixton builders clean questions

Anything else? Ring 07418 351088.

How long does a builders clean take in a Brixton 1-bed flat?

After a refurbishment a 1-bed or studio usually takes 2 cleaners for 3 hours, which is £212 all in. A full refit, or heavy plaster dust in every room, can stretch it to 2 cleaners for 4 hours (£272).

Our flat is finished but the builders are still working downstairs. Can you clean?

Yes, if nobody is working inside your flat and your own trades have packed up. In an old conversion dust from the works below can come up through gaps in the boards, so if the downstairs job is heavy, wait until it ends.

Can you clean a flat above a shop on Coldharbour Lane or Electric Avenue?

Yes. Tell the office how the crew gets in (a side door, a shop key, a buzzer) and where the van can stop, because the street-side kerb is usually controlled.

Do I need someone to come and look first?

Usually not. Photos or a short video by email let the office fix the crew and hours; a site visit for a big or unusual job costs £20.
