About end of tenancy clean in Kensington
Kensington is a large city of around 156,000 in Greater London. The housing is mostly South West London housing leans Victorian and Edwardian with pockets of 1930s semis and modern flats. That matters: older properties usually mean more pipework, rewiring and retrofit surprises, while newer builds in districts like SW5, SW7, W8 tend to be quicker jobs with standardised fittings. Local trade prices sit on the expensive side for UK trade work. That's mostly wage levels plus the cost of running a van and a yard in and around Greater London.

Most decent firms charge a callout and central boroughs run a clear premium over zones 4 and 5. Book two to three weeks ahead if you can.
Domestic cleaning isn't a regulated trade, but the firms worth hiring carry public liability insurance and DBS-checked staff.
