End of tenancy cleaning for a studio flat: cost and what to expect

A studio is the fastest end of tenancy clean, often finished in around three hours with one cleaner. With the living and sleeping space in one room, most of the work sits in the kitchen area and the bathroom, where limescale and the oven take the time. Prices start from £156, and the calculator gives the figure for your place.

What takes the time in a studio

The single room itself is quick: floors, skirting, windows and surfaces. The kitchenette is where it slows down, with the hob, splashback and oven, and so is the bathroom, where limescale on the screen, taps and tiles needs proper work. Get those two areas right and a studio check-out is straightforward.

How long it takes

Most studios take around three hours for one cleaner, a little more if the oven is heavy or the bathroom is badly scaled. Our guide on how long a clean takes sets out the wider picture.

What it costs

Studios sit at the lower end of the scale, and prices start from £156. The exact figure depends on the condition and any add-ons, so the quickest route to a number is the instant quote. For the full breakdown of what moves the price, see the price guide.

Add-ons worth considering

For most studios the one add-on that matters is oven cleaning, from £77, since the inventory almost always shows a clean oven. If the floor is carpeted rather than hard, a carpet clean may be worth adding too. The base scope is on the what is included page.

Getting a studio ready

Small rooms clutter fast, so clear everything out first, defrost the fridge and freezer the night before, and make sure the water and power are on. An empty studio is far quicker to clean than one with the last few boxes still in it.
