• Homeowners – preparing a property for sale or new occupants
• Renters – aiming to secure their deposit when moving out

Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with the property size, location and your move-out date. We ask a few practical questions about flooring, number of bathrooms and any add-on services, then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation. Prices are based on the property type and condition, not how long we stay, so you know the cost in advance.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most homes, a detailed phone or video survey is enough. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend an onsite visit. This allows us to assess any stains, heavy soiling, access and parking so we can send the right team, equipment and products. It also helps us flag any items that may fall outside a standard clean.

3. Preparation Before Cleaning

We ask that the property is as empty as possible, with personal items, bin bags and clutter removed. On arrival, our trained team walks through the property, confirms the agreed tasks and protects flooring where needed. We bring all equipment, solutions and materials, so you do not need to provide anything.

4. Detailed Cleaning Throughout the Property

Our cleaners work systematically, room by room, following a detailed checklist. High and low areas are dusted, surfaces cleaned, bathrooms sanitised and floors vacuumed or mopped. If you have booked professional carpet cleaning, this is normally carried out towards the end to allow maximum drying time.

5. Final Check and Handover

Before we leave, we perform a final check to make sure everything agreed has been completed. If you are present, we walk through the property with you. If keys are with an agent, we can usually return them on your behalf by prior arrangement.

Transparent Pricing for End of Tenancy Cleaning

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
• Type of flooring and overall condition
• Requested add-ons such as oven or carpet cleaning
• Parking and access considerations

There are no hidden charges for standard products or equipment. Any potential extra costs – for example, heavy pet contamination or extensive mould – are discussed upfront so you can make an informed decision. Written quotes can be provided for tenants, landlords or agents if needed.

Why Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Beats DIY

Doing it yourself can seem cheaper, but end of tenancy cleaning is more demanding than a normal house clean. Inventory clerks look closely at ovens, skirting, grout, limescale and behind furniture. Our professional cleaners use commercial-grade products, specialist stain removers and hot water extraction machines for carpets.

Because this is our everyday work, we know where agents tend to find issues and we clean accordingly. A properly documented, professional clean also helps you if there is any dispute about the condition of the property at check-out.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings and the property are protected while we work. We carry:

• Public liability cover – protecting you and the property against accidental damage or injury
• Goods in transit insurance – for any items we transport as part of the service, such as rugs or removable mats
• Trained teams – our cleaners are fully briefed on product use, colour coding and safe working at height

We follow clear procedures for reporting and resolving any issues. All products are used in line with manufacturer guidelines and industry best practice.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take care to protect your property while we clean. Corners are watched carefully when moving equipment, and we use appropriate floor protection in high-traffic areas. Where suitable, we select lower-impact cleaning products, reducing harsh chemical use without compromising hygiene.

Where possible, we use concentrated solutions and refillable containers to cut down on packaging waste, and we plan our routes around SW20 efficiently to minimise unnecessary travel. Our aim is a thorough, reliable clean that respects both your property and the wider environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size and condition of the property and any add-ons you choose, such as carpet or oven cleaning. A smaller one-bedroom flat will naturally cost less than a larger family home with multiple bathrooms. We provide a fixed, itemised quote before any work starts, so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden fees for standard materials, and any potential extras are discussed openly in advance.

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

We understand that move-out dates and check-ins can change at short notice. Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or urgent appointments in SW20. Availability depends on the size of the property, required services and how quickly we can reach you. If you need an urgent clean, call us as early as possible with your address and timing. We will let you know honestly what we can do and offer the earliest suitable slot.

Are you insured while working in my property?

Yes. We hold public liability cover and goods in transit insurance for your peace of mind. This means that both the property and any items we move or transport as part of the cleaning process are protected against accidental damage within policy terms. Our trained teams follow established procedures to minimise risk, including careful handling of equipment and appropriate product use. We are happy to provide proof of insurance or policy details on request for landlords, tenants or managing agents.

What exactly is included in your end of tenancy cleaning?

Our standard service covers a thorough clean of all accessible rooms: kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas and hallways. This includes dusting, surface cleaning, internal cobweb removal, limescale treatment in bathrooms, and vacuuming or mopping of floors. External and internal window panes on the inside are included where safely reachable. Deep carpet cleaning, full oven deep cleaning and appliance interiors are available as optional extras. We go through the full checklist with you at booking so you know precisely what is and is not included.

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

For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking as soon as you know your move-out or inventory appointment, ideally at least one week in advance. That said, we understand that completion dates and check-outs can change, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. If your move is complex or the property is large, booking earlier gives us time to plan team size, equipment and any additional services such as carpet or upholstery cleaning.
