We work with a wide range of clients across London, each with slightly different requirements:

• Homeowners selling or renting out their property who want it presented in the best possible condition.

We tailor the clean to the type and condition of the property, while keeping to a clear, structured checklist.

Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: property size, number of rooms, location, parking and any specific issues (e.g. pets, heavy limescale). Based on this, we provide a clear, itemised quotation. Prices are fixed for the scope agreed, so you know exactly what you are paying for before we arrive.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most properties we can complete a detailed virtual survey using photos or video. For larger or more complex jobs, we may recommend an onsite visit. This allows us to check the overall condition, identify any specialist requirements, and confirm timings. The survey means our team can arrive properly prepared with the right equipment and products.

3. Preparation & Cleaning Day

Before we arrive, we ask that the property is as empty as possible and that appliances such as freezers are defrosted if they are to be cleaned inside. On the day, our trained, professional team will walk through the property with you if you are present, confirm the agreed work, and then complete the clean following our checklist. A final inspection is carried out before we leave.

Local London Expertise

Working solely across London means we understand local housing stock and expectations exceptionally well – from new-build flats and warehouse conversions to period terraces and HMOs. We are familiar with the standards required by London letting agents and relocation companies, and we structure our work to meet those standards consistently.

We also factor in practical London-specific issues: parking, access, key collection from agents, and concierge arrangements. This local knowledge allows us to turn jobs around quickly and reliably, even on tight timelines.

Pricing: How We Charge for End of Tenancy Cleaning

Our pricing is transparent and based mainly on:

• Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
• Type of property (flat, house, HMO, studio)
• Current condition and any additional requirements
• Optional extras such as carpet cleaning or balcony cleaning

We work on fixed quotes rather than open-ended hourly rates for end of tenancy cleaning. Once we have agreed the scope, the price remains the same, provided the property condition matches the information given. This gives you certainty for budgeting and avoids disputes later.

Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Over DIY

A quick DIY clean can be tempting, but in practice it often falls short of what landlords and agents expect at checkout. As specialists, we:

• Use professional-grade cleaning products and equipment not typically available in supermarkets
• Work to a structured, comprehensive checklist developed from local checkout reports
• Know common problem areas that are easily missed (behind appliances, limescale, extractor filters)
• Save you hours of labour at an already stressful time
• Reduce the risk of deductions from your deposit for cleaning issues

Because we do this every day, we can achieve a higher standard in less time, with less disruption to your move.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

We operate as a fully compliant, professional cleaning company with robust protection in place for your peace of mind:

• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to fixtures and property while we are working.
• Goods in transit insurance – where we transport any cleaning equipment or your items that need moving, they are appropriately covered.
• Trained teams – our cleaners receive structured training in end of tenancy standards, safe chemical use, and care of different surfaces (stone, wood, stainless steel, glass).

All staff work to clear procedures, wear appropriate PPE where needed, and follow risk assessments for larger or more complex properties.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every property as if it were our own. Surfaces are checked before cleaning to ensure the right products are used, and delicate finishes are tested in inconspicuous areas first. Where furniture remains, it is moved carefully where practical and returned to its place after cleaning.

We are also mindful of the environmental impact of cleaning. Wherever possible, we select effective but low-impact products, minimise single-use plastics, and optimise our vehicle routes across London to reduce unnecessary travel. We avoid excessive use of harsh chemicals unless they are genuinely required for hygiene or stain removal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost?

Costs vary depending on the size and condition of the property, along with any extras such as carpet or upholstery cleaning. As a guide, smaller studios and one-bedroom flats are at the lower end, while larger multi-bathroom houses are higher. We always provide a fixed, itemised quote before work begins, based on the information you provide or a short survey. This means you know the exact cost in advance, with no hidden fees added on the day.

Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?

We regularly handle short-notice and urgent bookings, especially at the end of the month and during student changeover periods. Same-day service is often possible if we have a team available and can arrange access and parking promptly. The more notice you can give, the better the chance of securing your preferred time slot, but if your move has changed unexpectedly, we will always do our best to accommodate you.

Are you insured while working in my property?

Yes. We are a fully insured cleaning company. Our public liability policy covers accidental damage to property while we are working, and our goods in transit insurance covers equipment and any items we may need to move as part of the clean. In addition, our teams are directly employed or long-term contractors who have been vetted and trained to work carefully and respectfully in clients’ homes and commercial premises.

What exactly is included in an end of tenancy clean?

An end of tenancy clean is a comprehensive, move-out clean focused on returning the property to a condition suitable for new occupants. It includes full cleaning of the kitchen (including oven, hob and cupboards), bathrooms, internal windows, skirting boards, surfaces and floors throughout. We also remove light marks where safe and tackle limescale and built-up grime. Specialist tasks such as deep carpet cleaning, exterior windows or garden work are not included as standard but can usually be added at extra cost.

How far in advance should I book?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you know your move-out date, particularly during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer. One to two weeks’ notice usually gives you the best choice of dates and times. However, we understand that tenancy dates can shift, so we keep some flexibility in our schedule. If you need a last-minute clean, contact us and we will advise our next available slot and do what we can to fit you in.

Do I need to be present during the clean?

You do not have to be present for the full duration. Many clients meet us to provide keys, walk through the property and confirm the agreed work, then return at the end for a final inspection. Alternatively, we can collect keys from a local agent or concierge with your permission. We will always keep you informed of our arrival and completion times and can send photos on request if you are not able to attend in person.
