End of tenancy cleaning for a one-bed flat: cost and what to expect

A one-bed flat is the most common end of tenancy clean we do, and it usually takes four to five hours for one cleaner. The kitchen and bathroom carry most of the work, with the separate bedroom and living room adding floors and surfaces. Prices start from £207, and carpets or the oven are what move the figure.

What a one-bed clean involves

The step up from a studio is a whole extra room. You have a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room and a separate bedroom, so there are more floors to vacuum, more skirting to wipe and, usually, more carpet. The kitchen and bathroom are still where the time concentrates.

Time on the job

Four to five hours for one cleaner is typical, depending on condition and add-ons. If the oven is heavy or the carpets need a deep clean, allow a little more. See how long a clean takes for the wider picture.

What moves the price

Above the £207 starting point, the main movers in a one-bed are the carpets, which now cover two rooms, and the oven. Location and condition play a part too. Our instant quote turns it into a figure, and the price guide covers every factor.

The add-ons that matter

For a one-bed, the two to weigh are a deep carpet clean across the bedroom and living room, and oven cleaning. Add them when your inventory recorded them done at the start. The full base scope is on the what is included page.

Before the clean

Empty the flat as far as you can, defrost the freezer, and leave the utilities on. A clear flat is quicker to clean and easier to photograph for your own records afterwards.
