What it is

What is an end of tenancy clean?

An end of tenancy clean is the deep clean a landlord or letting agent expects when the keys go back, measured line by line against the check-in inventory.

End of Tenancy LTD cleans a studio from £156 and a four-bed from £425, worked against the check-out inventory, with a free re-clean within 48 hours if the report flags us.

Cleaning is the most expensive thing to get wrong at the end of a tenancy. The TDS Statistical Briefing 2025 put cleaning behind 54% of deposit disputes in 2024/25, the single most common cause, with the average protected deposit at £1,175. The Deposit Protection Service reports much the same from its own caseload, with cleaning at 26.64% of disputes and property damage just ahead at 27.30%. A clean costs a fraction of the money sitting in the scheme.

Prices

How much does an end of tenancy clean cost?

Property sizeEnd of tenancy clean from
Studio£156

4-bed£425

A standard clean is priced on the size of the property, and the figure in the table is the price of that standard clean. These are the same numbers the quote form uses. They don’t shift with the postcode either: the same two-bed is £243 in Kensington and £243 in Croydon.

Condition moves the final figure more than anything else. A kitchen carrying a year of grease behind the hob takes longer than the same kitchen someone kept on top of, and that time has to come from somewhere. Bathrooms count for more than people expect, because descaling is slow, careful work and two bathrooms is close to twice the job. Add-ons come last, and only the ones your inventory actually asks for. Nothing else is bolted on the end: no booking fee and no card fee. Where we have to pay a charge to reach you, such as the London congestion charge or paid parking outside the door, the quote shows it as its own line.

Add-on rates

Booked per item, on top of the clean, and only where the inventory or the state of the thing calls for it.

Scope

What’s included, and what isn’t

We clean against an inspection checklist instead of a general tidy, so the scope reads the same whether you are a tenant chasing a deposit or a landlord turning a flat around. Kitchens and bathrooms take the bulk of the day, because that is where the report goes first.

Oven cavity, door glass, racks and the grill pan
Hob, extractor and the filter behind it
Inside every kitchen cupboard, drawer and the space under the sink
Fridge and freezer cleaned inside, when they are emptied and switched off
Bathrooms descaled: taps, shower screen, tiles, grout, and the toilet under the rim
Skirting, door frames, tops of doors, switches and sockets
Wardrobes, drawers and shelving done inside as well as out
Internal windows, sills and frames where the inventory lists them
Floors vacuumed and mopped, carpets vacuumed as standard

Not included as standard

Some of the list below is an add-on and some of it is not a cleaning job at all. It is cheaper for everyone if you know which is which before the van turns up.

  • Deep carpet cleaning, a separate add-on from £36 a room
  • Exterior windows above the ground floor, where safe access runs out
  • Anything behind a fixed appliance we cannot safely pull out
  • Clearing furniture, belongings or rubbish left in the property
  • Repairs: filling holes, touching up paint, replacing a cracked tile
  • Mould coming from a damp problem. We can take the surface back, but it comes again
  • Scrubbing walls beyond spot-cleaning marks, since most emulsion lifts if you go at it
The report

What the check-out clerk actually looks at

The clerk is not judging your flat against a magazine. They are working down the check-in inventory, item by item, and writing where the property differs from it. That is why a place can look fine and still pick up deductions: the report says the oven was clean at check-in, and now it isn’t.

Ovens come first, near enough every time: door glass, the roof of the cavity, the racks, the grill pan. Then limescale, the other reliable earner, on taps and shower screens and the grout. After that it is the places nobody sees day to day, such as the extractor filter, the washing machine drawer and its rubber seal, and the top of a door nobody has ever dusted. The skirting behind where the sofa stood for three years is a favourite.

Fair wear and tear is on your side for the carpet gone flat in a doorway or paint that has dulled. It does not stretch to grease, limescale or a fridge left as it was. That is the line adjudicators work to, and it is worth knowing before you start an argument you cannot win.

Do you have to pay for a professional clean?

No. The Tenant Fees Act 2019 stopped landlords and agents in England making a professional clean a compulsory charge, for tenancies signed from 1 June 2019 and for every remaining tenancy from 1 June 2020. If your agreement still carries that clause, it is dead text.

The deposit is a different matter, and that is the part people miss. A landlord can still propose a deduction where the property comes back dirtier than the check-in inventory recorded, and the most they can hold you to is the check-in condition. So the real decision is about money: do the work yourself and carry the risk, or book the clean and keep the invoice as evidence. Most of the people who ring us have already tried the first one.

Do the carpets and the oven need doing?

Read the check-in inventory before you book either of them. If it records the carpets as professionally cleaned when you moved in, you are expected to hand them back that way, and the receipt is what settles it at check-out. If the inventory says nothing about them, a vacuum is usually enough, and we will tell you so.

Ovens are where the money goes.

Almost every check-out report mentions one, because carbon on the door glass and the cavity roof does not shift with a household spray and half an hour on a Sunday. Oven cleaning starts at £77 an oven and takes the appliance back to something a clerk will pass. Carpet cleaning starts at £36 a room and works by hot-water extraction, which pulls the grit out from the base of the pile. There is more on the split between the two in our guide to what a clean includes.

Hobs, extractors and the inside of a fridge-freezer are part of the standard clean when the appliances are empty and off. Say so in advance if the freezer still needs defrosting, because that has a waiting time attached and it changes the running order of the day. Properties in a really bad state are a different job again, and we price those as a rescue clean.

How booking works

Send the postcode, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the date you have to be out. We come back with a fixed price for that property and the earliest slot that clears your hand-back deadline. Nothing is charged until you have agreed the figure.

The property wants to be empty, or as near to it as the move allows. Furniture left standing in a room means the floor under it doesn’t get cleaned, and that is precisely where a clerk looks. Someone has to let the team in, or the keys need to be somewhere we can collect them. An agent’s office works. So does a neighbour, and plenty of tenants have already left the county by then.

If the check-out flags something we cleaned, tell us within 48 hours and we come back and redo it free, terms apply. We would rather give up a morning than spend a fortnight arguing with a clerk over photographs.

What we do not do is promise you the deposit back. Nobody honest can, since the report is written by someone else and the money sits with a scheme until the two of you agree. What we control is the scope you sign off in advance and the clean itself, plus the return visit if the check-out disagrees with us.

Two dates are worth keeping in your head while this happens. Your deposit has to be protected in a government-approved scheme within 30 days of the landlord taking it, and once you both agree what comes back, it has to be paid within 10 days of that agreement. The deposit and checkout help pages set out the rest.

A two-bed starts at £243 for a standard end of tenancy clean, whatever the postcode. Condition, the number of bathrooms and any add-ons decide where it lands above that, and the quote confirms the figure before anything is booked.

A studio is around three hours for one cleaner and a one-bed four to five. A two-bed is usually five to seven hours of labour, though we often put two cleaners on it for a tight check-out. Bigger or heavily soiled properties take a full day.

Carpets are vacuumed as standard. Deep carpet cleaning is an add-on from £36 a room, worth booking when the check-in inventory recorded the carpets as professionally cleaned or the condition calls for it.

Internal glass, sills and frames are included where the inventory lists them. External windows are an add-on from £35 for the property and depend on safe access, so anything above the ground floor is decided case by case.

As close to empty as your move allows. Anything left standing hides the floor and the skirting under it, which is where a check-out clerk looks first, and we cannot clean what we cannot reach.

No, but the team needs a way in. Leave the keys with the agent or a neighbour, or arrange a key safe, and tell us about parking and any door codes when you book.

Tell us within 48 hours and we come back and put it right free of charge, terms apply. Send the report or the photos with your message so the team knows what to bring.

Send the postcode, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, your move-out date and any add-ons you already know you need. Photos help on anything unusual, such as heavy limescale or a neglected oven.
