Canning Town is in the middle of a £3.7 billion rebuild: Newham's programme here and in Custom House aims at 10,000 new homes. Complete After Builders cleans the new flats and the refitted older ones, and a 2-bed flat after a refurbishment usually takes 2 cleaners for 4 hours, £272 all in.

Canning Town in numbers

Regeneration flats in Canning Town and Custom House

The council's Canning Town and Custom House programme, begun in 2000, plans 10,000 new homes, a new town centre and new leisure, health and community buildings, and about 3,500 of those homes are finished or on site. Further estate regeneration goes to a residents' ballot first. The brownfield register lists more sites for new homes nearby, from Freemasons Road to the car parks by ExCeL.

New flats in a scheme like this are handed over in batches, and the trades are often still finishing the block next door. The crew only cleans a flat once its own works are done, its tools and offcuts are out and the water, hot water, power and lights are on. A new-build clean is mostly detail. Labels and film come off the glazing and sealant smears are lifted from tiles and bath panels where they will come off; the sanding dust comes out of every cupboard and drawer. Paint and labels off new windows explains what is possible on the outside glass.

Post-war estates and ex-council refits in E16

Most of the older housing is post-war. In the Council Tax stock round E16 4HN, 31.8% of the homes with a recorded build date went up between 1945 and 1972 and 20.8% between 1973 and 1999, against 14.8% in 2015 or later. In Canning Town North ward the 2021 Census found 64.4% of households in flats, 22.1% in terraced houses and 43.5% in social housing. Leaseholders refitting a flat in a 1960s block often change everything at once: kitchen, bathroom, flooring, a skim coat on the walls.

That is a heavy clean. A 2-bed flat after a full refit is usually £332 with 2 cleaners for 5 hours, a 3-bed maisonette £482 with 3 cleaners for 5 hours. New bathrooms leave grout haze and silicone smears, and carpets laid before the decorators finished can be cleaned on the same visit, from £36 a bedroom. The full price list shows every size.

Parking zones and offices round the Royal Docks

Parking hours vary a lot across E16. Newham's Canning Town and Custom House zones are controlled Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6.30pm, while Canning Town North is controlled only 10am to 2pm on weekdays and the Royal Docks East and West zones run 8am to 6.30pm every day of the week. Tell the office your zone when you book.

Shops, offices and venues fitted out round the Royal Docks are priced at £30 per cleaner-hour plus £32, from £212; commercial after builders cleaning covers handover and snagging. The crews also work in Plaistow (E13) and West Ham, and the same crews do builders cleans in Canary Wharf over the Lea, where Tower Hamlets sets the rules. Newham's skip, waste and parking rules are set out under after builders cleaning in Newham.

Canning Town builders clean questions

Anything else? Ring 07418 351088.

Can you clean one new flat while the rest of the block is still being built?

Yes, if that flat is finished, its tools and rubbish are out and the services are on. Trades working inside the flat itself mean the clean has to wait.

How much is a builders clean for a new 1-bed flat in E16?

Usually £212 all in for 2 cleaners for 3 hours after light snagging work, or £272 when the flat has been fully refitted. The £32 kit charge and travel are included.

Can you clean several flats in the same block?

Yes. Each flat is priced on its own, and the office plans the crews and hours for the batch when it rings to confirm. Send the list of flats and a few photos by email.

Will the crew take away packaging and offcuts?

No. Packaging, offcuts and building waste go with the contractor or a licensed waste carrier before the clean.
