Who Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Service Is For
Renters & Homeowners
If you’re moving out and want to protect your deposit or present your home in the best possible light, our service is ideal. We focus on the areas that most commonly cause deductions – kitchens, bathrooms, appliances and heavy limescale or grease build-up.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We work with landlords and agents across London who need properties turned around quickly between tenancies. Our reliable teams provide a consistent standard so your new tenants move into a fresh, clean home without delay.
Businesses & Commercial Tenants
Our end of tenancy cleaning also covers small offices, studios and mixed-use properties. We’ll help restore your space to a professional condition, ready for handover to the building owner or incoming occupier.
Students & Houseshare Tenants
Shared houses and student properties often require deeper cleaning at the end of a tenancy. We can clean communal areas, bathrooms and kitchens to a standard that satisfies managing agents and university accommodation offices.

Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of your property: size, number of rooms, current condition and preferred dates. We’ll ask a few focused questions and, where possible, review any inventory requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with a breakdown of what’s included and any optional extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For more complex or larger properties, we may recommend a short virtual survey (video call/photos) or an onsite visit. This helps us assess cleaning levels needed, identify any problem areas (heavy limescale, grease, stains), and confirm timings. It ensures we allocate the right size team and avoid surprises on the day.
3. Preparation & Cleaning Day
Before we arrive, we ask that the property is emptied of personal belongings and that appliances like freezers are defrosted. On the day, our trained team arrives within the agreed window with all equipment and products. We work systematically through the property using our checklists, paying particular attention to kitchens, bathrooms and high-touch areas. Before we leave, we carry out a final walkthrough to check standards and touch up any missed spots.
Transparent Pricing – How We Charge
We price end of tenancy cleans primarily by property size, layout and current condition. Typical factors include:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Whether the property is furnished or unfurnished
- Level of soiling and limescale/grease build-up
- Requested additional services such as carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning
All quotes are given upfront, with no hidden charges. If, during our survey, we think extra time or services may be required, we’ll explain why and confirm costs before proceeding, so you can make an informed decision.
Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Over DIY
End of tenancy cleaning goes beyond day-to-day housekeeping. Agents and landlords inspect closely, and small oversights can lead to deposit deductions. As professional cleaners, we:
- Use commercial-grade products and equipment to tackle limescale, grease and embedded dirt more effectively than most domestic products
- Follow structured room-by-room checklists, reducing the risk of missed areas
- Work efficiently as a team, often completing in hours what might take you one or two full days
- Understand common inventory requirements in London and tailor our work accordingly
For many tenants and landlords, the time saved and reduced risk of disputes easily outweighs the cost of a professional service.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Your property is in safe hands. Home Cleaners London is fully compliant with key industry protections:
- Public liability cover – protecting you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury on site
- Goods in transit insurance – covering any of our equipment and materials while we transport them to and from your property
- Trained cleaning teams – our staff receive ongoing training in product use, surface care and best practice cleaning methods
We operate with clear procedures, risk assessments where required, and a focus on safe working in occupied buildings and shared spaces.
Care, Protection and Our Sustainability Approach
We treat every property as if it were our own. Surfaces are assessed before we start, and we always use appropriate tools and products to avoid scratching, dulling or other damage. Where possible, we favour low-odour, environmentally considerate cleaning products that are effective yet kinder to both surfaces and indoor air quality.
We minimise waste by using durable, washable microfibre cloths and well-maintained equipment, and we aim to use water and chemicals responsibly. If you have specific sensitivities or preferences, let us know in advance and we’ll do our best to accommodate them.
Local Expertise Across London
As a London-based company, we’re familiar with the requirements of many local letting agents and property managers. We understand the challenges of older period homes, new-build flats and everything in between, from hard water issues causing limescale to the heavy wear common in shared student houses. Our teams plan routes carefully to arrive on time, even with London traffic and parking to consider.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost?
Pricing depends on property size, condition and any extras you choose. A small unfurnished one-bedroom flat will cost less than a furnished three-bedroom house with carpets requiring deep cleaning. We provide tailored quotes so you know exactly what you’re paying for before you book. If you send us basic details – bedrooms, bathrooms and property type – we can usually give an estimate straight away, then confirm once we’ve clarified any specific requirements or problem areas.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?
We do our best to accommodate urgent and same-day requests where our schedule allows. Availability depends on how many teams we have in your area and the size of the property. The more notice you can give, the better the chance of securing your ideal slot, but if you have a last-minute check-out, please call us and we’ll check options. Where we can’t offer same-day, we’ll aim for the nearest possible date and time.
Are you insured if something is damaged during cleaning?
Yes. We hold public liability cover for accidental damage or injury on site, and goods in transit insurance for our equipment. Our cleaners are trained to handle different surfaces and materials carefully, and incidents are rare, but if something does happen, we follow a clear reporting and resolution process. We always encourage clients to highlight any particularly delicate, high-value or recently refurbished items before we start so that we can take extra care around them.
What exactly is included in an end of tenancy clean?
Our standard service is a full internal clean of the property, including all rooms, internal windows, skirting boards, switches, doors and frames, plus a deep clean of the kitchen and bathrooms. We clean inside cupboards, wardrobes and most appliances, including ovens and fridges (if defrosted). Carpets, upholstery, external windows and garages or outbuildings are not included as standard, but can often be added for an additional charge when requested in advance.
How far in advance should I book?
To secure your preferred slot, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead, especially during busy moving periods at the end of the month, summer and around university term dates. However, we do hold some flexibility for shorter-notice bookings. If your check-out inspection is already scheduled, it’s best to tell us the exact date and time when you enquire, so we can arrange the clean as close as possible beforehand for the best results.
