Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details: property type, number of rooms, number of bathrooms, flooring types and preferred dates. We provide a clear, no-obligation quotation based on the size and condition of the property, along with any optional extras such as professional carpet cleaning or oven deep cleaning.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For straightforward properties, photos or a short video call are usually enough for us to assess the work. For larger or more heavily used homes, we may recommend an onsite visit. This helps us plan the right team size, products and equipment, and confirm any particular concerns, such as heavy limescale, pet odours or older carpets that need extra care.
3. Preparation Before Cleaning Day
We ask that the property is emptied of personal belongings and any removal work is completed before we arrive. Fridges and freezers should be defrosted, and cupboards cleared where possible. If you need help sequencing removals and cleaning, we can advise on timings so everything runs smoothly.
4. Thorough End of Tenancy Clean
Our team arrives within the agreed time window with all necessary equipment and products. We work methodically through the property, room by room, following a detailed checklist. Particular attention is given to kitchens, bathrooms and flooring, as these are the main focus for inventory inspections.
5. Final Check and Handover
Once the clean is complete, we carry out a final walkthrough. If you are present, we can do this together; otherwise, we provide feedback and photos if requested. Any small missed areas are addressed immediately before we leave.
Transparent Pricing for End of Tenancy Cleaning
We price end of tenancy cleaning by property size, layout and condition, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. This means you only pay for the work genuinely required.
- Fixed price quoted in advance, with no hidden charges
- Clear breakdown for optional extras (e.g. professional carpet cleaning, specialist oven cleaning)
- Competitive rates for student lets and regular landlord instructions
The final cost typically depends on:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Presence of pets or heavy soiling
- Type and condition of flooring
- Any add-on services required
We are happy to discuss budget and expectations openly, so we can recommend the most appropriate level of service for your situation.
Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Over DIY?
Many tenants start out planning to clean themselves, only to find it takes far longer than expected and still does not meet inventory standards.
- Professional results – trained cleaners know exactly what landlords and agents look for, and use suitable products and methods.
- Time saving – avoid spending long evenings and weekends scrubbing when you could focus on settling into your new place.
- Proper equipment – from limescale removers to carpet machines (if booked), we bring the right tools for a deeper, more even clean.
- Reduced deposit disputes – a documented, professional clean reduces arguments over cleanliness at check-out.
When compared to the potential loss of part or all of a deposit, a well-delivered end of tenancy clean is often a cost-effective choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Tooting cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size and condition of the property and any extras you choose. A small one-bedroom flat will naturally cost less than a larger family house with multiple bathrooms and carpets to clean. We provide a clear, fixed quotation in advance once we know the property details and can review photos or carry out a brief survey. There are no hidden charges: any optional items, such as carpet or specialist oven cleaning, are listed separately so you can decide what you need.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings, particularly in quieter periods. In busier times, such as the end of the month or peak moving seasons, availability can be tighter, so it helps to contact us as early as possible. If you have urgent inventory or key handover deadlines, let us know when you first enquire. We will be honest about what we can do and may suggest flexible time slots or partial services if that best fits your timescale.
Are you insured if anything is damaged during cleaning?
Yes. We are fully insured with public liability cover, and we also hold goods in transit insurance for our equipment. While damage is rare, accidents can happen, particularly in properties with older fittings. If something does go wrong, we follow a clear process: we report it immediately, document what has happened and work with you to resolve it fairly. Our aim is always to minimise risk through professional training, appropriate products and careful handling of fixtures, fittings and surfaces throughout the property.
What exactly is included in an end of tenancy clean?
Our standard end of tenancy service covers a full deep clean of all normal living areas, including kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living spaces, hallways and internal windows. We clean surfaces, cupboards, appliances externally, sanitaryware, tiles, skirting boards and flooring, working to a detailed checklist aligned with landlord and letting agent expectations. Internal oven cleaning is available and can be added if needed. Items such as carpet shampooing, upholstery cleaning, external windows, garages and gardens are not included by default, but can often be quoted separately on request.
How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy clean?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you know your moving date, especially if you are leaving at the end of a month or during summer, when demand is highest. One to two weeks’ notice is usually enough to secure your preferred day and time, though we do our best to help with shorter notice. It is important that all personal items and removal activities are completed before we arrive, so it is worth coordinating your removals company and cleaning appointment together.
