Cheam ward has more detached houses than flats: 37.0% of households live in one, against 23.5% in flats, and 79.3% own their home. Complete After Builders cleans these interwar houses after extensions, lofts and full refurbishments, from £212 all in, and the old village homes too.

Cheam in numbers

Interwar detached houses and big refurbishments in Cheam

In the Council Tax area covering Cheam, 57.7% of homes with a recorded build date were built between 1919 and 1939, and just 3.9% (130 properties) date from 2015 or later. Add the semis (21.8%) and terraces (17.7%) and three in four households live in a house, many of them large.

When a refurbishment reaches a fourth or fifth bedroom, the office adds cleaners and keeps the day to a working length: a 4-bed is usually 3 cleaners for 4 hours, a 5-bed 3 cleaners for 5 hours. En-suites are where the hours go, roughly an hour and a half of cleaner time for each extra bathroom, with tiles, grout, glass and taps to do in each.

Interwar houses hold dust in predictable places: picture rails, the treads and spindles of a long staircase, deep window boards, the tops of fitted wardrobes. The crew takes those first and comes back to them at the end. Carpets that stayed down are vacuumed; for a deeper wash see carpet cleaning after building work.

Cheam Village and its listed buildings

The old centre of Cheam is a conservation area, Cheam Village, and 33 listed buildings stand within 800 metres of the middle of Cheam ward, four of them Grade II*: the Church of St Dunstan, the Lumley Chapel (the surviving part of the old church), Whitehall and Nonsuch Park House.

Older houses in and around the village can have original joinery, old glass and lime plaster. The crew treats those surfaces gently, uses a product to suit each one and tells you on the day if a paint spot or a mark is better left. Fine plaster dust is light and travels, so the crew dusts high ledges twice.

Skips on drives, DIY rubble and parking in SM3

A detached or semi-detached house often has a drive, and that helps. In Sutton a skip on a drive or other private land needs no licence; only skips on the highway do. The SM3 postcode district also takes in streets run by Merton and by Epsom and Ewell, so check the council before the skip firm books a road licence.

If you did some of the work yourself, Kimpton Park Way takes a homeowner's own DIY rubble on a booked visit: two bags free, then £5.80 per 50-litre sack, at most six sacks a visit. Anything from a paid builder is trade waste and has to go in the skip or with a licensed carrier. The crew does not take rubble away.

Park Lane is one of the few controlled parking zones in Sutton. There, the crew's van needs visitor voucher hours from the household's allowance; on the rest of Cheam's streets a drive or a free kerb is usually enough.

Builders clean prices for Cheam houses

The rate is £30 per cleaner-hour, and £32 covers the equipment and detergents for the whole job. Typical Cheam totals:

  • a 4-bed detached house after a rear extension: 3 cleaners for 4 hours, £392 all in;
  • a 5-bed house after a refurbishment: 3 cleaners for 5 hours, £482;
  • a 4-bed after a full renovation with new bathrooms throughout: 4 cleaners for 5 hours, £632.

Outside glass is extra and done only where it is safe from the ground (outside window cleaning has the prices). New flats may come to the edge of Cheam: the council's brownfield register lists the Secombe Theatre and the Sutton West Centre on Robin Hood Lane as sites for new homes.

Every size is on the full price list, and licences for the borough are on our page for after builders cleaning in Sutton. The interwar terraces of Worcester Park lie to the north-west, and Carshalton beyond Sutton town to the east.

Questions people ask

Anything else? Ring 07418 351088.

Can the skip go on my drive in Cheam?

Yes, and in Sutton a skip on private land needs no licence. A skip on the road needs one, which only the skip company can apply for.

How many cleaners come to a big Cheam house?

Crews grow with the house: usually 3 cleaners for 4 hours for a 4-bed and 3 cleaners for 5 hours for a 5-bed after a standard refurbishment. Heavier work or extra bathrooms add time.

Is every SM3 address in Sutton?

No. Most of Cheam is, but SM3 also covers streets run by Merton and by Epsom and Ewell, and each council has its own skip and parking rules.

Can I take my own DIY rubble to Kimpton Park Way?

On a booked visit, yes: two bags free, then £5.80 per 50-litre sack, up to six a visit. Rubble from a paid builder is trade waste and is refused.
