How do these prices compare with the Dartford average?
Ours sit at or below the published Dartford figures. Checkatrade searches for Dartford average £150 for a domestic clean and £252 for a deep clean, and cost guides put end of tenancy cleaning across London and the South East between £150 and £490. Our end of tenancy ladder starts below that range and tops out inside it. Here's the same comparison in full.
| Job | Published figure | Our price | Source of the published figure |
|---|---|---|---|
| A domestic clean | £150 on average | £19 an hour, so about £57 for a typical three hour visit | Checkatrade Dartford searches, accessed August 2026 |
| A deep clean | £252 on average | £210 for a three-bedroom house, fixed by size | Checkatrade Dartford searches, accessed August 2026 |
| An end of tenancy clean | £150 to £490 across London and the South East | £250 for a three-bedroom house, fixed by size | MyJobQuote and Checkatrade cost guides, accessed August 2026 |
One thing worth saying about that first row. A published average for a domestic clean is a figure per visit, and it doesn't say how many hours the visit ran, so read it as a guide to the market rather than a like for like match with an hourly rate. The deep clean and end of tenancy rows compare fixed price with fixed price.
What is different about cleaning in Dartford?
Scale and turnover. Dartford is the borough town, so the work spreads across a lot of commuter housing, and a good share of that is rented and changes hands often. It pushes end of tenancy cleaning to the top of the list here, which is why there's a whole page for end of tenancy cleaning in Dartford with the full ladder on it.
The water is the same chalk-fed hard water as the rest of North Kent, so limescale collects on taps, shower screens and inside kettles and ovens. In a rented flat, scale is often the very thing an inspection picks up, and it's worth knowing that cleaning is the most common cause of deposit deductions, with over half of deposit disputes involving it.
Do you really cover Dartford?
Yes. There's no Dartford office and no shopfront: Chalkdown is a mobile cleaning service based in Greenhithe, a short drive east, and we come to the property. The prices above are the ones a Dartford address pays, unchanged by distance, with travel already inside them.
What else do people ask before booking?
Do you cover the whole of Dartford?
Yes, on one price list. We don't split the borough into zones or charge a call-out fee for the far side of it. A two-bedroom deep clean is £175 wherever the address sits, and travel is already inside that figure.
Can you clean while I am at work?
Yes. Plenty of the work we expect in Dartford is for people who commute, so tell us on the quote form how we get in and what to do about keys or a code. The clean follows the same published checklist whether or not anyone's home.
Why publish prices when no local independent we could find does?
Because a hidden price costs you an afternoon of phone calls. You can read the full ladder, work your own number out and decide before you ever speak to us. If a job genuinely needs more hours than the ladder covers, we'll say so before we start.
Which other towns do you cover?
From Dartford we work east through Stone and Greenhithe to Swanscombe, Ebbsfleet, Northfleet and Gravesend.
