Converted terraces, estates and new builds in NW5
Council Tax records for this part of Kentish Town count 4,930 homes, and their ages are unusually mixed. Of the homes with a recorded build date, 25.7% are from before 1900, many of them terraced houses now divided into flats. Another 29.6% went up between 1945 and 1972 and 22.2% between 1973 and 1999. About 570 homes, 11.6%, are from 2015 or later. At the 2021 Census 38.3% of households in Kentish Town South ward rented from a social landlord, 31.7% owned and 29.7% rented privately.
In a converted terrace the dust from a kitchen refit gets onto the shared stairs and into the old floorboards, and the flat above or below will notice. In an estate block the lift and the caretaker matter, and so does where the van can stop. In a new build the dust is lighter but it is everywhere: inside cupboards, on top of door frames and in the extract vents, which makes the job closer to a snagging clean.
What a builders clean costs in Kentish Town
A 2-bed flat after a standard refurbishment takes 2 cleaners for 4 hours: £272 all in, made up of £30 per cleaner-hour and £32 for equipment and detergents. A 3-bed maisonette or house is usually 2 cleaners for 5 hours at £332, and a 1-bed new build at handover 2 cleaners for 3 hours, £212.
If the flat was replastered throughout or left with plaster on the floors, choose a full renovation in the form. Our page on a dust clean after sanding and plastering explains why that dust needs two passes, and a film of grout across a new tiled floor needs the hard floor deep clean, an extra at £6 a square metre (see grout residue on new floors). The other sizes are on the full price list.
Conservation areas and listed buildings around Kentish Town
Within 800 m of the middle of Kentish Town South ward there are 11 conservation areas. They include Kentish Town itself, Inkerman and West Kentish Town, along with Bartholomew Estate, Dartmouth Park and Camden Square. The same radius holds 73 listed buildings, among them the Grade I Church of St Martin and, at Grade II*, the Roundhouse and the Church of St Silas the Martyr.
Where original sashes, cornices and fireplaces survive inside a flat, the crew dusts them by hand and wipes them with products chosen for old paint and timber. Paint spots on old boards come off where they will, and you hear on the day which ones will not.
Regis Road, rubble and van bookings
Camden's reuse and recycling centre is in Kentish Town, on Regis Road (NW5 3EW), and being close does not make it the place for building waste. The site has a 1.85 m height barrier. Vans and trailers must be booked at least 24 hours ahead with proof of residency, and a north London household gets six such bookings a year. Caged tippers and flatbed trucks are not allowed in, and trade waste is refused. So the builder takes the rubble, offcuts and packaging away before the clean, and the crew does not remove builders' waste.
Some of the new building nearby is the council's own: at Agar Grove, to the south-east, Camden had finished 220 of the 496 planned homes by December 2024, in what it calls the UK's largest Passivhaus scheme. Neighbouring pages cover Highgate (N6) up the hill and Holloway to the east, and there is more on after builders cleaning in Camden as a whole.

Anything else? Ring 07418 351088.
Can you clean a council flat a leaseholder has refurbished?
Yes. Tell the office the block and floor, whether the lift works and where the van can park on the estate, and it plans the day around the caretaker's rules.
How soon after the decorators finish can you come?
Book once the last dust-making job is done and the trades have gone. About a week's notice is usually enough, and Fridays and weekends fill first.
Do I need to empty the kitchen cupboards?
Yes, if you want the insides cleaned. The crew cleans cupboards and drawers inside and out once they are empty, and it does not move food, crockery or personal belongings.
Where does the crew park in NW5?
In a free space or with a visitor permit you provide; any paid parking is passed on at cost. Hours of control differ between Camden's zones, so check the sign on your street.
