Wallington mixes old houses and flats: 41.2% of homes with a recorded build date in the local Council Tax area are older than 1919, and 44.5% of households in Wallington North ward live in a flat. Complete After Builders cleans both after the works, from £212 all in.

Wallington in numbers

Edwardian houses, flats and Wallington Green

The Council Tax count shows 13.0% of homes here built before 1900 and 28.2% between 1900 and 1918, then another 17.0% from 1973 to 1999. Only 4.3% (170 properties) are from 2015 or later. The Census for Wallington North ward splits households between flats (35.1% purpose-built, 7.4% in converted houses), semis (33.6%) and terraces (16.6%).

Three conservation areas lie within 800 metres of the middle of Wallington North ward (Wallington Green, Beddington Parks and Carshalton Village), along with 50 listed buildings, nearly all Grade II. In an Edwardian house the dust from a rewire or replaster lodges in the cornice, the picture rail, the fireplace surround and the sash boxes; the crew cleans those from ladders of about 2 m, then cleans the floors, then dusts the high points again once the air has settled.

Builders cleans in Wallington flats and blocks

A flat in a block is a shorter job with more logistics. The crew needs to know the floor, whether there is a lift and where it can unload. Sutton sells a dispensation to load on a yellow line near the job at £39 per vehicle per day, and it only needs two working days' notice, which suits a short flat clean.

The old kitchen units and the bath need a plan as well. Sutton's bulky waste service does not take kitchen units or worktops, and building waste from paid work is trade waste in Sutton, so they go with the builder or a licensed carrier. Rubble and plasterboard go the same way, and the crew does not remove any of it.

Inside the flat, cupboards are cleaned inside and out once empty, appliances are wiped outside, and the bathroom gets tiles, grout and sealant smears seen to. Haze left across a new tiled floor is the hard floor deep clean, charged at £6 a m² (grout residue on new floors).

Parking, permit area HB2 and skips in SM6

Part of Wallington North is permit parking area HB2, where every vehicle on the street needs a permit from 8am to 6.30pm, Monday to Saturday; there are generally no marked bays, and the hours are on the signs at each entry. A Sutton trader permit covers only two hours at a time, so for a clean that lasts most of the day the office will ask about visitor permits, a drive or the council car parks at Melbourne Road and Shotfield.

All of SM6 is in Sutton, so a skip on the road needs a Sutton licence, which only the skip company can apply for; a skip on a drive needs none.

New flats in Wallington and what a clean costs

On the former Gower House site at 75 Woodcote Road, the council finished its first Passivhaus homes in October 2024: 11 flats, nine of them with two bedrooms. The council's brownfield register names Railway Approach, for up to about 250 homes, and the Shotfield car park, for up to about 90. A flat that has never been lived in still needs the builders' dust out of every drawer and the film off the windows.

Our totals add £32 for equipment and detergents to £30 per cleaner-hour:

  • a new 2-bed flat before handover: 2 cleaners for 3 hours, £212 all in;
  • a 2-bed flat after a refurbishment: 2 cleaners for 4 hours, £272;
  • a 4-bed Edwardian house after a full renovation: 4 cleaners for 5 hours, £632.

Sofas that sat in the dust can be cleaned as an add-on (sofas and mattresses after the works), and every size is priced on our prices. The borough's licences are on our Sutton page; Carshalton is next door to the west, and Purley a short way south-east over the Croydon border.

Questions people ask

Anything else? Ring 07418 351088.

Where do the old kitchen units go if I live in a block?

With the builder or a licensed waste carrier. Sutton's bulky waste collection does not take kitchen units or worktops, and building waste from paid work is trade waste in Sutton. The crew does not remove them.

Can the crew's van load on a yellow line in Wallington?

With Sutton's loading dispensation, yes: £39 per vehicle per day, with two working days' notice.

Does the van need a permit in permit area HB2?

Yes, every vehicle there needs one from 8am to 6.30pm, Monday to Saturday. A drive or a visitor permit is usually the answer, because a trader permit only lasts two hours.

How long does a 2-bed flat take after a refurbishment?

Usually 2 cleaners for 4 hours: £272 all in. A second bathroom adds about an hour and a half of cleaner time.
