What housekeeping means at Battersea Power Station
Housekeeping at Battersea Power Station is the routine care of an apartment: cleaning, tidying, bed making with the linens you provide, kitchen and bathroom upkeep, and the reset of high-touch surfaces. Inside a development like Battersea Power Station, where apartments use specific finishes (stone surfaces, hardwood floors, integrated appliances, high-end taps), housekeeping is also about working with those materials so they stay in good condition over time.
Maison BPS is the dedicated housekeeping service for the development. We work only inside Battersea Power Station, which means our teams know the buildings (Switch House East and West, Boiler House, Turbine A and B, Prospect Place, Koa, Gladwin Tower, New Mansion Square and the surrounding residences), the concierge teams, and the apartment finishes. That removes the set-up time a generic cleaning company would need on every visit.
The services available
There are several distinct services, and Battersea Power Station residents typically use a combination:
- Standard housekeeping — routine upkeep on a one-off or recurring basis.
- Deep cleaning — a longer, more detailed reset, typically every 3 to 6 months.
- Recurring cleaning — weekly, fortnightly or monthly schedule at a fixed slot.
- Move-in cleaning — deep clean of a vacant apartment before move-in.
- Move-out cleaning — handover-ready clean after move-out or before relet.
- Guest preparation — pre-arrival visit before visitors.
- Property refresh visits — short visits for owners who are away.
- Memberships — recurring cleaning bundled with priority scheduling.
How often residents should clean
For most Battersea Power Station residents, the practical pattern is:
- A studio or one-bedroom used full-time: a weekly housekeeping visit, plus a deep clean every 4–6 months.
- A two- or three-bedroom with family or housemates: a weekly visit, with a deep clean every 3 months.
- A penthouse or larger residence: a weekly or twice-weekly visit, with a deep clean every 2–3 months.
- An apartment used only occasionally: a monthly refresh, plus a deep clean ahead of any stay.
The pricing is fixed per apartment size, so residents know the cost up front: studio £70 (3.5 hours), one-bedroom £80 (4 hours), two-bedroom £90 (4.5 hours), three-bedroom £110 (5.5 hours), penthouse £200 (10 hours). Two trained team members attend each visit.
Cleaning products and equipment
By default, cleaning products and equipment are not included. Most residents use their apartment's own vacuum and prefer products they have already chosen for their finishes. If you would rather not think about it, add the Maison BPS supplied cleaning products option at checkout for £10 per visit. The supplied products are low-toxicity and surface-safe for the finishes used in Battersea Power Station apartments.
How access works
Access is arranged before every visit. The four common options are: the resident is at home, the resident leaves a key with the concierge, Maison BPS holds a key for recurring visits, or the resident sends a smart-lock code. The concierge desks across the development are familiar with Maison BPS, which makes hand-off straightforward.
Memberships vs ad-hoc booking
Ad-hoc booking suits residents who want occasional help — a deep clean before guests, or a one-off after an event. Memberships suit residents who want a fixed weekly or fortnightly slot, priority for last-minute requests and continuity of the same team. Members typically spend less time managing their cleaning schedule and more time using the apartment.

Why exclusivity matters
A generic cleaning company sends teams across many addresses, often outside London. The team has to learn the building, the lift protocol, the concierge expectations and the surfaces of every new apartment. Maison BPS works only inside Battersea Power Station, so the team already knows the building. That tends to mean faster set-up, fewer questions, and consistent results visit after visit. It also means Maison BPS is the service most residents in the development end up using for their recurring housekeeping and memberships.
Summary
Housekeeping at Battersea Power Station is straightforward when it is run by a team that works only inside the development. Maison BPS offers standard housekeeping, deep cleaning, recurring cleaning, move-in and move-out cleaning, guest preparation, property refresh visits and memberships — all bookable in advance through the website, with fixed pricing per apartment size and optional supplied products for £10 per visit.
