Barnet says the West Hendon estate rebuild will bring over 2,000 homes by 2031, and the London Plan gives Colindale and Burnt Oak room for 7,000 more. Complete After Builders does the handover cleans in those blocks and in Hendon's interwar houses; a new 2-bed flat often takes 2 cleaners for 3 hours, £212 all in.

Handover cleans in the West Hendon and Colindale blocks
Barnet's plan for West Hendon makes 28% of the new homes affordable and adds bridges linking Hendon station to the estate. Close by, on Hyde Estate Road, Barnet approved 1,309 homes and a replacement Sainsbury's in buildings of 4 to 28 storeys in July 2020.
A handover clean in a new block is mostly detail. The crew peels labels and film off the glazing and the kitchen doors, vacuums the grit out of the window and balcony door tracks, wipes inside every unit and drawer, and clears the dust from extract grilles, sockets and spotlights. Balconies are swept. Grout haze and silicone smears in the bathrooms take the longest; grout haze and silicone smears explains what comes off. Sites run on the site manager's rules, so the office books the crew in at the gate time, with the floor and flat numbers.
A 2-bed new-build flat with light dust usually takes 2 cleaners for 3 hours: £212 all in. A developer handing over a floor at a time can book it as a run, and sales suites and ground-floor shops are covered under cleaning a fit-out before opening.
Interwar houses and Hendon's two conservation areas
Away from the new blocks, more of Hendon's homes are interwar than any other age: 46.2% of the homes with a recorded build date in the statistics area are from 1919 to 1939 (Council Tax stock, March 2025). Two conservation areas sit within 800 metres of NW4 3SP, Hendon Church End around St Mary's church at the top of Greyhound Hill and Hendon The Burroughs, which Barnet describes as mainly terraced houses with offices, six shops and a former pub. Church Farmhouse Museum, listed Grade II*, is one of 16 listed buildings in that radius.
Work on a 1930s Hendon house usually means a kitchen extension or a loft. A 3-bed house after that kind of refurbishment usually takes 2 cleaners for 5 hours: £332 all in. If the house fronts a TfL red route, the builder's skip licence and any stopping dispensation come from TfL, which needs six working days to process a dispensation; tell the office the street when you book so the crew's parking is planned too.
Rented flats in West Hendon
Renting runs high on this side of Hendon: at the 2021 Census 43.1% of households in West Hendon ward rented privately and 55.7% lived in flats. For a landlord, the builders clean slots in after the decorator and before the inventory, and the crew needs the flat empty of the last tenant's belongings, with water and power still connected.
The borough-wide rules on parking, skips and waste are on the page for Barnet, our prices cover every size of flat and house, and the crew works the neighbouring areas too, from Golders Green to builders cleans in Edgware.

How much is a builders clean for a new flat in Hendon or Colindale?
A studio or 1-bed with light dust is usually £212 all in (2 cleaners for 3 hours); a 2-bed is £212. The figures are £30 per cleaner-hour plus £32 for equipment and detergents.
Can you clean several flats in one block on the same visit?
Yes. Send the list of flat numbers and sizes; each flat is priced on its own size and the crew works through them in the order the site gives.
Will the crew clean while snagging trades are still in the block?
Only in flats where every trade has finished and the tools are out. A flat with a snagging trade still working inside is cleaned once they leave.
Do you clean outside windows on a tower block?
No. Outside glass is cleaned only where it can be reached safely from inside or from the ground, and balconies are swept as part of the clean.
