Office, shop and restaurant fit-outs in Fitzrovia
The middle of Fitzrovia, round W1T 4EU, lies in the Charlotte Street conservation area. A fit-out here usually runs to a fixed opening date, and the clean is the last job before it. The crew needs the fitters finished and their tools, offcuts and packaging gone. Then it cleans what is left, from the tops of the new partitions and light fittings down to the skirting, followed by the glass, the counters and the floor.
Commercial work is charged at £30 per cleaner-hour plus £32 for equipment and detergents. A small office or shop usually takes 2 cleaners for 3 hours, £212 all in; a heavier job with plaster and paint on the floor is 2 cleaners for 4 hours at £272. Bigger floors are priced from photos or a floor plan, and our page on cleaning a fit-out before opening has more on offices, shops and restaurants.
The waste belongs to the fitter. A business must complete a waste transfer note for each load it sends away and use a registered carrier, and the crew does not take building waste with it.
Older houses, interwar blocks and flats above shops
Council Tax records for this part of Fitzrovia count 3,670 homes. Of those with a recorded build date, 41.5% are older than 1900 and 25.3% went up between 1919 and 1939; 19.0% are from 1973 to 1999 and only 4.4% from 2015 on. On the ground that means narrow Georgian and Victorian houses turned into flats over shops, and interwar blocks of flats.
Above a shop, access is often a side door and a steep stair with no lift, and dust from works downstairs can rise through old floors. The crew carries everything up by hand, so tell the office about the stairs when you book. A 1-bed after a refurbishment usually needs 2 cleaners for 3 hours, £212 all in, and a 2-bed £272.
The next big wave of new homes is planned at Euston, where Camden's Euston Area Plan update expects around 2,000.
Listed buildings and conservation areas within 800 m
Thirteen conservation areas fall within 800 m of W1T 4EU: Charlotte Street, Fitzroy Square and Bloomsbury among them, with Harley Street, Regent Street and Soho to the west and south. The same radius holds 457 listed buildings, 24 of them Grade I and 48 Grade II*. Works inside a listed building need listed building consent, and the clean afterwards is gentle. Panelled doors, fanlights, cornices and old stair rails are dusted and wiped; splashes of plaster and paint are tried with a product suited to the surface, and the crew says before it leaves what will not come off. Walls are not washed, and the outside of the building is not part of the job.
Tiled floors, grout haze and the final walk-round
Restaurant and shop floors are usually tile, stone or polished concrete, and they take the worst of a fit-out: grout haze, adhesive, paint drips and the grey film left by mopping with dirty water. The builders clean vacuums and mops every hard floor and lifts drips and adhesive where they will come off. Grout haze across a whole tiled floor needs the hard floor deep clean, an extra at £6 a square metre, or £8 with a polish; see hard floor cleaning. Haze gets harder to lift the longer it cures, and the crew says on the day if any will not shift.
Before the crew leaves, you or your site manager walk round with them, and anything you point out is put right there and then. Book about a week ahead and send photos of each room by email.

Anything else? Ring 07418 351088.
Can you clean a restaurant or shop before it opens?
Yes, once the fitters have finished and taken their tools and waste away. Give the office the opening date when you book; about a week's notice is usually enough.
Can you clean at a weekend?
Yes, weekend slots exist, but Fridays and weekends book up first, so ask early and have photos ready.
Is the office price different from the home price?
Yes. Commercial premises and homes are priced the same way, £30 per cleaner-hour plus £32. A small office is usually £212 all in.
Will you get paint and labels off the new shopfront glass?
The inside of the glass, the frames and the sills are part of the clean, and paint flecks and labels come off where they will. Outside glass is extra and only where it can be reached safely from the ground.
