New-build flats in Kidbrooke Village, phase by phase
Three later phases of Kidbrooke Village, numbers 3, 5 and 6, got planning permission in March 2015 for 1,238, 1,144 and 713 homes, and 35% of the whole scheme is affordable housing. At the 2021 Census, 77.7% of households in Kidbrooke Village & Sutcliffe ward lived in flats, almost all in purpose-built blocks, and 36.1% rented privately. In the Council Tax records for the area, 2,490 homes, 37.3% of all homes with a recorded build date, went up in 2015 or later.
People here often move in while the next phase is still being built nearby. Dust from a site next door can reach balconies and window tracks, so book the clean as close to the move-in date as the diary allows and keep the windows shut once it is done.
What the first clean in a new flat covers
- Stickers and labels off the new glazing, then the inside of the glass, frames, sills and tracks
- Fine dust out of every kitchen cupboard and drawer, and the worktops, splashback, sink and taps
- Appliance fronts and tops wiped (inside an appliance is extra)
- Sealant and adhesive smears lifted from the bath, basin and tiles where they will come off
- Balcony swept, hard floors vacuumed and mopped, carpets vacuumed
Skirting, switches, sockets, radiators, vents and light fittings are done in every room as well. At the end you walk round with the crew, and anything you point out is put right before it leaves. After a buyer's own fit-out, such as a new floor or fitted wardrobes, the dust is heavier and a 2-bed takes 2 cleaners for 4 hours, £272 all in. The pages on window cleaning after the builders and cleaning a new kitchen or bathroom go into the slow parts.
Lifts, concierge and snagging trades
In a block with a concierge, book the lift and a loading or parking slot before the day and give the office the details. The crew brings vacuums, ladders up to about 2 metres and detergents, and needs water, hot water, power and working lights in the flat.
If the developer's trades are due back after the clean, they will leave dust where they work, and the crew cannot clean round them. Either book the clean after the snagging visit or book a short second clean for the rooms they touch. Developers and agents handing over several flats at once can send the list to the office; the page on commercial after builders cleaning shows how a handover clean and a later snagging visit fit together.
Older Kidbrooke: 1930s houses near Blackheath
18.4% of local homes date from 1919 to 1939 and 20.5% from 1945 to 1972, and the Blackheath conservation area starts within 800 metres of the middle of the ward. Loft rooms and extensions in those houses get the same top-down clean, with more dust in the old cornices and on picture rails.
Thames Water puts SE3 9FX in its Blackheath supply zone, where the 2025 tests averaged 282 mg/l of hardness (249 to 327). New taps and shower glass show water marks within a few uses, so the crew finishes them with a product suited to the surface; there is no promise on limescale that has set.
Kidbrooke sits between Blackheath to the west, Charlton to the north and Eltham to the east. The borough page on after builders cleaning in Greenwich covers skips, scaffold and the Nathan Way tip, and our prices list every size of home.

Anything else? Ring 07418 351088.
Can you clean a new-build flat before we move in?
Yes. Book once the developer has handed over and any trades of your own have finished; about a week's notice is usually enough, and Fridays and weekends go first.
The snagging team is coming back after the clean. What should I do?
Tell the office when you book. The crew cannot work round trades, so either move the clean after the snagging or add a short second clean of the rooms they work in, from £212 all in.
How much is a builders clean for a new 2-bed flat in Kidbrooke?
With light dust it usually takes 2 cleaners for 3 hours: £212 all in, at £30 per cleaner-hour plus £32 for equipment and detergents. After your own fit-out, allow 2 cleaners for 4 hours, £272.
Does the lift need booking for the crew?
If your block books lifts for contractors, yes. Arrange it with the concierge or managing agent and tell the office the slot, because the crew brings its kit up in one go.
