End of Tenancy Cleaning in Wandsworth

What the check-out looks for in Wandsworth

Wandsworth is mostly Victorian and Edwardian: terraces and conversion flats either side of Northcote Road in Battersea and Clapham, and the bigger family houses on the streets between the two commons. Conservation rules have kept a lot of it period rather than rebuilt, so a check-out clerk is looking at old kitchens, sash windows and the dust that gathers on picture rails and cornices.

The exception is the river. The new towers around Battersea Power Station and Nine Elms are a glass-and-chrome job, where the deposit usually turns on hard-water marks on the shower screen and limescale on the fittings rather than grease. We match the clean to whichever Wandsworth you’re actually in.

• Oven grease and worn carpet in the Battersea and Clapham conversion flats
• Sash windows, picture rails and multiple bathrooms in the family houses between the commons
• Limescale and water spotting on glass and chrome in the Nine Elms and Power Station towers
• High-level dust on cornicing in the period stock
• Carpets in let rooms, where the inventory logged them clean

What it costs in Wandsworth

A studio starts at £149, a one-bed at £169, a two-bed at £219, a three-bed at £269 and a four-bed at £329 for a standard end of tenancy clean. Carpets are the usual add-on.

Local quotes here sit around £149–£190 for a studio and climb past £300 for a three-bed, so our band is in line with the area. The thing that moves the price in Wandsworth is the family houses: a four- or five-bed between the commons has more bathrooms and more floor than a flat, so it is quoted on the property, not the bedroom count alone. Send a photo with the postcode and we’ll price it properly.

We quote the house, not a guess.

Parking and access on move-out day

Visitor parking in Wandsworth only applies if your address sits in a controlled parking zone, which a lot of the borough does, and the household gets up to 100 visitor days a year to use. The borough runs two systems side by side: old-style paper scratchcard visitor permits, and paperless vouchers you activate through the online parking account against the van’s registration. Either works for us — just say which you’ve got.

If parking is tight, the team can come in by rail to Clapham Junction or the Northern line at Balham and Tooting and work from there. The whole borough is inside the ULEZ, so factor that in if you’re hiring a van for the move too.

We clean to the report

The agents around Northcote Road and Wandsworth Common — Marsh & Parsons and Dexters on Northcote Road, Knight Frank on Bellevue Road — mostly check out against an itemised clerk’s report. We clean against it room by room: the oven and carpets in the flats, the sash windows and extra bathrooms in the houses, the glass and limescale by the river.

Send the check-in inventory or the check-out report with your details and we work straight off it. It is the quickest way to protect the deposit.
