Deptford mixes 18th century houses with post-war estates and new riverside blocks, and Complete After Builders cleans all three after the trades leave, from £212 all in. A new 1-bed handover is usually £212; a refurbished ex-council 2-bed is £272.

Deptford in numbers

Market days close Deptford High Street

Wednesday, Friday and Saturday are market days, with stalls along the High Street and Douglas Way from 9am until 5.30pm, and no vehicles may use the High Street between 6am and 7pm. A crew with a van, vacuums and ladders cannot unload outside a shop or a flat above one on a market day, so for an address on or just off the High Street book a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday, or tell the office where the van can stop instead.

The Deptford parking zones run Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and Deptford Central adds Saturday morning until 1.30pm. A visitor e-voucher from you, a space in an estate car park you control or a driveway all work; say which when you book.

Albury Street and the High Street conservation area

The Deptford High Street and St Paul's conservation area grew up around Henry VIII's naval dockyard. It keeps many 18th century buildings, the Grade I church of St Paul, the Grade II* houses on Albury Street and flats above the shops on the High Street. An Article 4 direction made in 2021 covers the High Street. Within 800 m of the middle of Deptford ward there are 53 listed buildings, 15 of them Grade II*.

Refurbishing one of those houses leaves fine plaster dust in the panelling, shutters and the joints of wide old boards. The crew brushes it out of the mouldings by hand and cleans the sashes inside. Any paint fleck that will not lift without scratching old glass is left and pointed out to you. A 4-bed period house after a careful refurbishment takes 3 cleaners for 4 hours: £392 all in.

Post-war estates and the new blocks by the river

Most Deptford households live in flats: in Deptford ward 70.7% live in purpose-built blocks and 43.8% rent from a social landlord (Census 2021). Council Tax records put 39.6% of homes in the area with a recorded build date as built between 1945 and 1972 and 19.2% in 2015 or later. Deptford Creekside, designated in May 2012, takes in the 1930s Crossfield Estate, nine blocks split by Deptford Church Street and the railway viaduct.

The council's brownfield register lists sites for new homes nearby, and the council calls Convoys Wharf, at 40 acres, the largest development site in the borough.

In an ex-council flat a common job is a new kitchen and bathroom, then a clean of the whole flat: 2 cleaners for 4 hours for a 2-bed, £272. New-build handovers are lighter, mostly dust in the units, film and stickers on the glazing and grout haze, so a new 1-bed is 2 cleaners for 3 hours, £212. The details are on paint and labels off new windows and cleaning a new kitchen or bathroom.

Three boroughs in SE8, and shops fitting out on the High Street

SE8 runs across three councils: Lewisham's Deptford and Evelyn wards, Greenwich's Creekside and Greenwich Park wards and Rotherhithe in Southwark. Check whose rules apply before the builder orders a skip; Lewisham's own rules and fees are on Lewisham, and the neighbouring pages are New Cross, Rotherhithe (SE16) and builders cleans in Greenwich.

Shops, cafes and studios fitting out on the High Street or along the Creek need the floor, the counters and the glazing clean before opening day, usually out of trading hours; see cleaning a fit-out before opening and the full price list.

Deptford builders clean questions

Anything else? Ring 07418 351088.

Can you clean a flat above a shop on a market day?

Only if the van can stop in a side street, because no vehicles may use the High Street from 6am to 7pm while the market is on. A Monday, Tuesday or Thursday is easier.

Do you clean new-build flats before the tenants move in?

Yes. Tell the office the handover date and the building's rules on lifts, loading and keys. A new studio or 1-bed usually takes 2 cleaners for 3 hours.

Will the crew take the old kitchen units away?

No. Old units, rubble and packaging go with the builder or a licensed carrier before the crew arrives; Lewisham's Landmann Way centre does not take a contractor's waste.
