Practical move-out guidance: checklists, deposit disputes, and what affects end of tenancy cleaning prices.
A one-bed flat is the most common end of tenancy clean, usually four to five hours. Prices start from £207, with the kitchen, bathroom and any carpets driving the figure.
Shared student houses are judged on the whole property, not your room. Split the communal areas, book the oven and any carpets, and clean before everyone scatters for summer.
A studio is the quickest end of tenancy clean, usually around three hours. Prices start from £156, with the kitchen area and bathroom doing most of the work.
Carpets are vacuumed as standard, with a deep carpet clean and the oven as the popular add-ons. What you need depends on your check-in inventory.
Short-notice cleans are possible and depend on availability in your area. They are priced higher than a planned slot, so it pays to book as early as your dates allow.
Not necessarily. Most end of tenancy cleans are done on key access, with no one home. Here is how access works and what to arrange so the team can get in and out.
A studio or one-bed is often three to five hours; a larger house with add-ons can take most of a day. Time depends on size, condition, extras and team size. Here is a guide.
You can clean it yourself, and many tenants do. The question is whether it meets the check-out inventory. Here is an honest look at when DIY passes and when it backfires.
Book an end of tenancy clean when you are moving out and need to meet the check-out inventory. Choose a deep clean to refresh a home you are staying in.
Not legally. No law forces a professional clean, but your tenancy ties you to the check-in cleanliness standard, and falling short can cost you part of your deposit.
A flag on the check-out report is not an automatic deduction. You can often put it right first, and our clean is backed by a 48-hour re-clean guarantee (terms apply).
End of tenancy cleaning starts from £156. The final price depends on size, bathrooms, condition, location and extras like ovens or carpets. Here is what changes it.
Usually the clean. You set the price of a professional clean up front, from £156, while a cleaning deduction is decided by someone else after you have left.
No. The Tenant Fees Act 2019 means a landlord cannot make you pay for professional cleaning, but you must return the property to its check-in cleanliness standard.
