North Kensington is the Royal Borough's newest corner: more than one home in eight in the local Census area was built from 2015 onwards. Complete After Builders cleans new flats at handover and older ones after a refurbishment: a 2-bed flat usually takes 2 cleaners for 4 hours, £272 all in.

North Kensington in numbers

Tower blocks, estates and new flats around Golborne Road

The housing here is mostly post-war and modern. Of the homes with a recorded build date on the council tax list for the local Census area, 28.6% were built between 1945 and 1972, 24.6% between 1973 and 1999, 17.1% from 2000 to 2014 and 13.6% from 2015 on; only 11.3% are older than 1900. In Golborne ward 93.6% of households live in flats and 66.6% rent from the council or a housing association. Trellick Tower, on the Cheltenham Estate off Golborne Road, is listed Grade II*, as is Kensal House.

In a block the crew needs the lift, a way past the entry system and somewhere to put its car while it carries vacuums, ladders and detergents up. Upper-floor glass on the outside is out of reach for a cleaner working safely, so the crew cleans the inside of the windows, frames, sills and tracks and takes the labels off new glazing; ground-floor glass can be added as window cleaning after the builders. Landlords and contractors handing a flat back after a refit can book the clean flat by flat.

Portobello Square and the Kensal Canalside pipeline

Peabody's rebuild of the Wornington Green estate, branded Portobello Square, is to provide more than 1,000 homes, nearly 600 of them affordable. Its phase 2B, begun in August 2022, adds over 230 homes, 108 of them for social rent. The London Plan marks Kensal Canalside as an opportunity area for 3,500 homes, and at the former Kensal Gas Works an application received in June 2025 (PP/25/03535) proposes about 241 homes in its first, detailed part.

A new flat at handover has little plaster dust and a lot of finishing residue: grout haze on the tiles, sealant on the bath, film on the frames and a sticker on every pane. A new 2-bed flat is often a light clean, 2 cleaners for 3 hours, £212 all in. Haze across a whole tiled floor is the hard floor deep clean, an extra at £6 a m²; see tile and grout cleaning.

Victorian streets, the W10 boundary and skip suspensions

The Survey of London records that the streets between Golborne Road and Acklam Road were laid out in 1864 and 1865, with nearly 400 building leases granted in 1868 and 1869, almost all for narrow three-storey terraced houses. Kensal New Town, north of the railway, grew up from the early 1840s beside the cemetery and the gasworks that opened in 1845. A refurbished terraced house of that kind, three bedrooms over three floors, is usually 2 cleaners for 5 hours, £332 all in.

The W10 postcode crosses four councils: Kensington and Chelsea, Brent, Hammersmith and Fulham and Westminster. Check the council tax bill before the builder books a skip. On the Royal Borough side a bay suspension for a skip needs 10 working days' notice in a permit bay but only two in a pay-by-phone bay. The council-wide rules are on the page for the rest of Kensington and Chelsea. South is Notting Hill; west is White City.

How much is an after builders clean for a North Kensington flat?

A 2-bed flat after a refurbishment is usually £272 all in and a 1-bed £212; the smallest job is from £212 all in. See what a builders clean costs.

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

Yes. The crew cleans each flat after the snagging trades have finished, and someone from the developer or landlord walks round with the crew before it leaves.

Can the crew work in a block where other flats are still being fitted?

Yes, if the flat being cleaned is finished and the trades are not using it. Dust from shared corridors and lifts will come back in until the other work stops.
