Areas we cover in Kent
Postcode areas: DA, ME, TN, CT, BR.
- Maidstone
The county town sits on the Medway in ME14 to ME16, a mix of period terraces and post-war suburban homes on hard chalk water. Limescale on taps, the kettle and the shower screen is the first thing an inventory clerk checks, so kitchens and bathrooms take the bulk of a move-out clean.
- Dartford
A north-west commuter town in DA1 and DA2 near the river crossing, with Victorian terraces and a lot of newer estate housing. The water runs hard off the chalk, so limescale on bathroom fittings is where deposits slip; we put the taps, screens and kettle near the top of the inventory list.
- Canterbury
CT1 and CT2 cathedral city with two universities, so older period houses are often split into student and sharer lets. A check-out here usually means several bedrooms plus a communal kitchen and bathroom on one report, and the hard water leaves limescale a clerk flags quickly.
- Chatham
A Medway town in ME4 and ME5 with dockyard heritage and rows of Victorian terraces, many now shared lets. Hard water means limescale builds on taps and screens, and HMO-style hand-backs add bedrooms and a shared kitchen to the inventory, so we plan the time around both.
- Gillingham
The largest Medway town, ME7 and ME8, lined with riverside Victorian terraces and a strong rented share. Hard chalk water leaves limescale on kitchen and bathroom fittings, which a clerk marks first, so oven interiors, taps and shower screens get the most attention on the day.
- Rochester
ME1 Medway town under the castle and cathedral, with older terraces and period cottages near the high street. The water is hard, so limescale on taps and the kettle is the clerk’s opening check; older kitchens and bathrooms then carry most of the move-out clean.
- Royal Tunbridge Wells
A Georgian spa town in TN1 to TN4 with period villas and conversion flats around the Pantiles. Original sash windows and cornicing take time to detail, and the hard Wealden water leaves limescale on bathroom fittings, so the kitchen and bathrooms get a longer pass.
- Gravesend
A Thames-side commuter town in DA11 and DA12 with Victorian terraces and riverside new-build flats. Hard water leaves limescale on chrome and glass in the newer flats, while the terraces hand back on older kitchens, so we set the priorities by which stock the property sits in.
- Ashford
An international rail hub in TN23 and TN24 with large new-build estates around the town. Modern homes hand back on the details: limescale on chrome taps from the hard water, integrated ovens and glass screens, so those points lead the inventory while we arrange estate parking.
- Tonbridge
A castle town in TN9 to TN11 with period houses and busy London commuters renting family homes. The hard water means limescale on taps and screens is the clerk’s first stop, so bathrooms and the kitchen take the time, with sash windows on older stock adding to the detail.
- Folkestone
A regenerated harbour town in CT19 and CT20, with Victorian seafront terraces and conversion flats. The coastal hard water leaves limescale on bathroom fittings, and older flats carry tired kitchens a clerk marks, so oven, taps and screens lead a move-out clean here.
- Sevenoaks
An affluent commuter town in TN13 and TN14 with larger detached and period homes. Bigger houses mean more rooms and bathrooms to bring up to report standard, and the hard chalk water leaves limescale on fittings, so the extra kitchens and bathrooms set the day’s timing.
- Margate
A Thanet seaside resort in CT9 with Victorian terraces and converted flats near the seafront. Hard coastal water leaves limescale on taps and screens, and many flats are older lets with worn kitchens, so the bathroom and oven carry the inventory at check-out.
- Sittingbourne
A Swale commuter and industrial town in ME10 with terraced housing and newer estates. The water runs hard, so limescale on kitchen and bathroom fittings is the clerk’s opening check; oven interiors and shower screens then take most of the move-out time.
- Dover
A major ferry port in CT16 and CT17 with terraced housing climbing from the harbour under the white cliffs. The hard chalk water leaves limescale on taps and the kettle, so bathrooms and the kitchen lead the inventory, with older fittings adding to the detail.
- Ramsgate
A Thanet harbour town in CT11 and CT12 with Regency terraces and period conversion flats. Original sash windows and cornicing take careful detailing, and the hard coastal water leaves limescale on bathroom fittings, so taps, screens and the oven carry the move-out clean.
- Strood
A Medway town in ME2 across the river from Rochester, with Victorian terraces and newer estate homes. Hard chalk water means limescale on taps and screens is what a clerk checks first, so the kitchen and bathrooms carry the inventory while older fittings add detailing time.
- Whitstable
A north-coast town in CT5 known for oysters, with weatherboard cottages and Victorian terraces near the harbour. The hard coastal water leaves limescale on bathroom fittings, and older kitchens take time, so taps, screens and the oven lead the check-out clean.
- Broadstairs
A quieter Thanet bay in CT10 with seaside cottages and period terraces above the sands. Hard coastal water leaves limescale on taps and the kettle, the clerk’s first stop, so bathrooms and the kitchen take most of the move-out time on older stock.
- Herne Bay
A north-coast town in CT6 with a Victorian seafront and terraced housing behind it. The hard water means limescale on bathroom fittings is where deposits slip, so shower screens, taps and the oven lead the inventory, with older kitchens adding to the detail.
- Faversham
A medieval market town in ME13 with a historic brewery and period cottages near the creek. Older homes carry timber and sash detail a clerk checks, and the hard water leaves limescale on fittings, so the kitchen and bathrooms take a longer, careful pass.
- Deal
A coastal town in CT14 with a pebble beach, castle and rows of period seafront cottages. The hard coastal water leaves limescale on taps and screens, the clerk’s opening check, so bathrooms and the kitchen carry the move-out clean on older fittings.
- Tenterden
A Wealden market town in TN30 with a period high street and older cottages and conversion flats. Sash windows and timber detail take time on the inventory, and the hard water leaves limescale on bathroom fittings, so kitchen and bathrooms lead a careful clean.
- Sandwich
A medieval town in CT13 near the championship golf links, with timber-framed and period houses in the old centre. Older stock means careful detailing of windows and woodwork, and the hard water leaves limescale on taps, so the bathrooms and kitchen take the time at check-out.
Kent end of tenancy cleaning from £156 by End of Tenancy LTD, from the new Ebbsfleet flats to the period houses of Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells, with a free 48-hour re-clean if the check-out flags our work.
From brand-new Ebbsfleet to centuries-old oast houses
Kent runs the full range of housing, and the check-out changes with it. At one end is Ebbsfleet Garden City near Dartford and Gravesend, thousands of new flats and houses with modern fitted kitchens, where the deposit turns on degreasing the oven and the integrated appliances and getting the hard-water marks off the new glass. At the other are the period market towns (Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells, Canterbury) where it is sash windows, high cornices and wood floors, and out in the Weald the odd listed oast house with its awkward angles.
The commuter towns in between, around Dartford and Gravesend, are mostly terraces and semis where the oven and worn carpet do it. One thing is true across the county: Kent sits on chalk, so the water is hard and limescale on the taps and shower glass is a near-certain deduction.
- Oven and integrated-appliance degreasing in the Ebbsfleet new-builds
- Sash windows, high cornices and wood floors in the period market towns
- Oven and carpet wear in the Dartford and Gravesend commuter homes
- Limescale on taps and shower glass, Kent is hard-water chalk country
What it costs in Kent
A studio starts at £156, a one-bed at £207, a two-bed at £243, a three-bed at £339 and a four-bed at £425 for a standard end of tenancy clean. Carpets are the usual add-on, and larger or period houses are priced on the property.
Kent quotes run from about £99 for a small flat to past £500 for a big three- or four-bed once carpets are added, so our band is at the sensible end. A period house with sash windows and wood floors, or a new-build with a kitchen full of integrated appliances, both take time in their own way. Send the postcode and details and we fix the figure.
Period or new-build, fixed first.
Parking, the Dartford Crossing and no ULEZ
Kent is a county of districts, not one London-style council, and most homes have a driveway or an unrestricted street, so the van usually parks outside; controlled zones are mainly in the town centres. Two driving notes: the Dartford Crossing carries a charge if a van crosses the river into Essex (from £3.50, or £2.80 with a pre-pay account), and, the one people forget, Kent is outside Greater London, so there is no ULEZ. A van pays the ULEZ only if it drives into London.
Where a town-centre permit is needed we sort it for the specific district council. Tell us the town and address when you book.
We clean to the report
Lettings across Kent run through agents like Ward & Partners, with offices all over the county, and Mann around Dartford and Gravesend, and a check-out is usually an itemised clerk’s report. We work through the whole place: the limescale and oven first in this hard water, then the sash windows and wood floors in the period homes, the appliances in the new-builds.
Send whichever you have, the check-in inventory or the check-out report, and that is what we clean to.
What clerks flag, area by area across Kent
Kent is a big county and the deposit risk shifts as you move across it. In the Medway towns (Chatham, Gillingham, Rochester, Strood and Rainham) the stock is mostly Victorian and Edwardian naval-era terraces, so a clerk tends to flag the kitchen and bathroom, scuffed skirtings and the grout, plus the chimney breast and picture rails that collect dust in these older rooms. On the coast (Margate, Whitstable and Folkestone) a lot of lets are flats carved out of big seafront houses, and the report focuses on the windows and the salt film the sea air leaves on the glass, the communal stair if it is shared, and limescale in a bathroom that was last a deep-clean job months ago.
Out in the Weald and the villages it is a different property again: converted oasts, barns and period cottages, often let unfurnished, where the clerk works through wood floors, beams, an inglenook or wood-burner hearth and windows that are rarely standard sizes. The commuter belt around Dartford, Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells is the mix we describe higher up the page, new Ebbsfleet flats at one end and period town houses at the other. Wherever the home sits, two things turn up on almost every Kent check-out: the oven, and limescale on taps and shower glass, because the whole county draws hard chalk water.
- Medway terraces (Chatham, Gillingham, Rochester): kitchen, bathroom grout, scuffed skirtings, picture rails and chimney breasts
- Coastal flats (Margate, Whitstable, Folkestone): window glass and salt film, any shared stair, bathroom limescale
- Weald and village lets: wood floors, beams, hearth or wood-burner and odd-sized windows in converted oasts, barns and cottages
- Commuter belt (Dartford, Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells): new-build appliances at one end, sash windows and wood floors at the other
- Everywhere in Kent: the oven, and limescale on taps and shower glass from the hard chalk water
