Built Around Chelsea’s Buildings
Chelsea’s common parts range from marble-floored mansion block halls to glass-and-stone riverside lobbies. Each needs a different specification, and we write one for the building in front of us.
Mansion blocks and period conversions (Sloane Gardens, Oakley Street, Cheyne Walk)
- The challenge
- Marble and mosaic entrance halls, polished brass, long carpeted stair runs and original timber handrails.
- How we handle it
- Surface-specific methods for stone and mosaic, brass and woodwork cared for on a set rota, and stair carpets vacuumed edge to edge.
Purpose-built blocks (Sloane Avenue, World’s End)
- The challenge
- Long internal corridors, several lift cars, busy bin chambers and constant resident traffic.
- How we handle it
- Floor-by-floor schedules, daily lift and touch-point cleaning, and bin rooms kept clean and odour-free between collections.
Riverside new-builds (Chelsea Waterfront, Lots Road)
- The challenge
- Double-height lobbies with glazing, stainless steel and stone that buyers and tenants judge at a glance.
- How we handle it
- Presentation-standard finishes, smear-free glass and steel, and stone floors maintained to the developer’s care guide.
Flats above shops (King’s Road, Sloane Square, Fulham Road)
- The challenge
- Narrow street doors beside shopfronts, shared rear service areas, and tight loading restrictions on busy retail streets.
- How we handle it
- Early-morning visits before trading starts, planned around permit bays and loading times so nothing blocks the frontage.

“Our mansion block has a marble hall and four floors of stair carpet. Both now look the way residents expect, and the brass on the front door is finally polished as standard.”
Harriet M. · Oakley Street, SW3
“We have three flats above a shop with a shared street door. They come early, before the shop opens, and the entrance is clean when the first tenant leaves for work.”
Tomasz K. · King’s Road, SW3
“Before the AGM we asked for a breakdown of every task and how often it happens. We had it within a day, and it settled a long argument about value for money.”
Olumide A. · Elm Park Gardens, SW10

Questions managing agents ask
If yours isn’t here, we’ll answer it at the survey.
How often should the common parts of a Chelsea mansion block be cleaned?
It depends on footfall and finishes. A small conversion with a handful of flats often needs one visit a week. A larger mansion block with a marble hall, a lift and several floors of stair carpet usually needs two or three visits, with brass and glass kept on a separate rota. We recommend a frequency after the survey and adjust it if the building’s needs change.
Do you clean stair carpets and runners, not just vacuum them?
Yes. Routine visits include edge-to-edge vacuuming of stairs and landings. We can also schedule periodic deep cleans of carpets and runners to lift ground-in dirt and spot marks, so the carpet lasts longer and the building looks cared for between refurbishments.
Can you work alongside our porter or concierge?
Yes. Where a building has a porter or concierge, we agree with them who does what, when our team arrives, and how issues are passed on. The cleaning then supports the front desk instead of duplicating it, and residents see a single, consistent standard.
What happens if a resident reports a problem between visits?
You report it to us once, by phone or email, and we take it from there. We log the issue, deal with it on the next visit or sooner if it can’t wait, and confirm to you when it’s done, so you have a clear record to share with residents.
Do you clean front steps, lightwells and basement entrances?
Yes. Many Chelsea terraces and mansion blocks have stone front steps, railings and lightwells leading down to basement flats. These collect leaves and litter quickly. We can include them in the specification, so the approach to the building is kept to the same standard as the hall.
Can you arrange a one-off clean before an inspection, sale or AGM?
Yes. We can carry out a one-off deep clean of the common parts ahead of a building inspection, a flat sale, a refurbishment handover or a residents’ meeting. Many clients use it as a starting point before moving onto a regular schedule.
