Who Our London End of Tenancy Cleaning Is For

Renters & Students

If you are moving out of a rented flat, house share or student accommodation, our service is built to help you meet your contractual cleaning obligations and protect your deposit. We work to common London agency standards and can clean even when you have already handed back keys (by arrangement).

Homeowners

For homeowners selling or moving, we provide a thorough move-out clean so you can hand over a presentable property to buyers or new occupants. We can coordinate with removal teams to clean once the property is clear.

Landlords & Letting Agents

Our team supports London landlords, build-to-rent operators and agents with consistent, check-list driven cleans between tenancies. We understand the importance of fast turnaround, clear communication and documentation.

Businesses & Relocations

For serviced apartments, company lets or staff relocations, we deliver reliable, repeatable professional end of tenancy cleaning across London, including key collection and out-of-hours appointments where required.

Our Local London Expertise

Operating solely in London allows us to plan around local traffic, parking restrictions and building access issues that can delay less experienced firms. We routinely work with period conversions, new-build apartments, ex-local authority properties and HMOs, each with their own quirks.

Because we focus on end of tenancy work, we are familiar with the expectations of major London letting agencies and independent landlords alike. Our checklists are aligned to the kind of observations made by inventory clerks and deposit schemes.

How Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us with the property size, number of bathrooms and any special requirements. We provide a clear, itemised quotation with no hidden extras. Where possible, we base our quote on standard room sizes and your description; for unusual layouts we may suggest a quick survey.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger or high-value properties, we can carry out a brief onsite survey, or a virtual walk-through using photos or video. This helps us confirm the scope, note any access or parking issues, and identify additional services such as carpet cleaning or oven deep cleaning. The agreed specification and price are then confirmed in writing.

3. Preparation

We ask that the property is empty of personal belongings and that any large rubbish is removed before we arrive. Our team then brings all necessary products, equipment and protective materials. We protect floors where needed, confirm water and power access, and work systematically through the property until it is ready for checkout.

Transparent Pricing – How We Charge

Our pricing is based on property size, layout and condition. Typical factors include:

• Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
• Presence of additional rooms (studies, utility rooms, conservatories)
• Level of soiling and limescale build-up
• Optional extras such as carpets, upholstery or appliances

We provide fixed-price quotations in advance, so you know exactly what is included. There are no weekend surcharges, and any potential additional costs (for example, for heavily soiled ovens or carpets) are discussed and agreed before work begins.

Why Use Professional End of Tenancy Cleaners Instead of DIY?

End of tenancy cleaning is not the same as a routine weekly clean. Inventory inspections are detailed, and many deposit disputes stem from cleaning issues. Our trained cleaners use professional-grade products and equipment, follow structured checklists and understand what is likely to be flagged on an inspection report.

Attempting a full move-out clean yourself after packing and moving can be exhausting and still fall short of expectations. A professional clean saves time, reduces stress and can be a modest cost compared with the potential loss of part of your deposit or extended void periods for landlords.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

Your property and belongings are protected throughout our work. End of Tenancy Cleans is fully insured, with:

• Goods in transit insurance covering any items we move as part of the clean
• Public liability cover for work in homes and communal areas
• Trained teams following established risk assessments and safe systems of work

All staff are directly trained in end of tenancy standards, appropriate product use and health and safety. Supervisors carry out spot checks, and we welcome feedback after every job to keep our standards consistently high.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat each property as if it were our own. Surfaces are assessed before we choose products, and we always test where there is any doubt. Floors and delicate finishes are protected during the clean, and we take care when moving appliances or furniture to access hidden areas.

Where possible, we use low-VOC, environmentally considerate products that are effective yet safe once dry. Microfibre systems reduce chemical use, and we avoid unnecessary disposable materials. Our aim is to leave the property hygienically clean and fresh without harsh residual odours.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does end of tenancy cleaning in London cost?

Costs vary depending on property size, layout and condition, as well as any extras such as carpet or oven cleaning. As a guide, a small one-bedroom flat is usually at the lower end of our pricing, with larger family homes higher. We always provide a fixed, written quote before work starts, based on the information you give us and, where needed, a short survey. There are no hidden charges; any potential additional costs are discussed and agreed in advance.

Can you offer same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleans?

We understand that moves do not always go to plan, and urgent cleaning is sometimes needed to meet checkout deadlines. Where our schedule allows, we can provide professional same-day or next-day appointments across London, including evenings and weekends. The more notice you can give us, the better the chance of securing your preferred slot, but it is always worth contacting us if you are in a hurry. We will be clear about availability and any time constraints before you book.

Are you insured while working in my property?

Yes. We are fully insured to work in residential and rented properties. This includes public liability cover in case of accidental damage to the property and goods in transit insurance for items we may need to move during the clean, such as light furniture or appliances. Our cleaners are also trained in safe working practices to minimise risk. If you or your managing agent require confirmation, we can provide copies of our insurance certificates and method statements on request before the work begins.

What exactly is included in an end of tenancy clean?

An end of tenancy clean is a top-to-bottom service designed to return the property to a lettable condition. This includes a full deep clean of kitchens and bathrooms, internal cleaning of cupboards and wardrobes, wiping of skirting boards, doors, frames and switches, internal window cleaning, and thorough vacuuming and mopping of all floors. We focus on limescale, grease and built-up dust that regular cleaning can miss. Optional extras include carpet and upholstery cleaning and oven deep cleaning, which many tenancy agreements now expect.

How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy clean?

To secure your preferred date and time, we recommend booking as soon as you know your move-out date, ideally one to two weeks in advance. This allows us to coordinate with your removals and any final maintenance work. That said, we do keep some flexibility for last-minute moves, and we will always try to accommodate short-notice bookings where our schedule permits. The key is to have the clean booked for after the property is empty of your belongings, but before your final inventory inspection.
