Frequently asked questions

Most tenancy agreements require you to organise an end of tenancy clean prior to checking out of the property.

If you do not organise a clean, and the property fails to meet the landlord’s requirements for cleanliness, you may have a fee deducted from your security deposit to cover the cost of cleaning.

End of tenancy cleaning is more thorough than a standard home clean, and takes longer to complete. It’s designed to thoroughly clean a property before new tenants move in.

Cleaning of kitchen appliances and white goods is included as standard in an end of tenancy clean. All cupboards will be cleaned - inside and out - as well as inside windows.

All standard cleaning tasks - like mopping, vacuuming and surface cleaning - are also completed during an end of tenancy clean.

End of tenancy cleaning is designed for completely empty homes, and is the most thorough clean you can book. Because the property is empty, the cleaning team can clean more hard-to-reach areas - including inside cupboards and appliances.

Deep cleaning is designed for lived-in homes, and is more thorough than a regular clean.

Ideally the property should be fully cleared. The only items that should be left in the property are those staying in the property after your tenancy ends. If you require the inside of cupboards to be cleaned, these will need to be emptied in advance of the clean.

We take a card payment when you book. We accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express payment cards.

Cleaners can collect keys from a key safe, a neighbour or your estate agent (within a ten minute journey of the property). Just let us know where the keys will be in the ‘Any other details?’ section of the booking form.

It usually takes your cleaning team 3-5 hours to complete an end of tenancy clean.

The cleaning team will bring everything they need for your end of tenancy clean, including all products and a vacuum cleaner.

End of tenancy cleaning in London typically costs between £150 and £600, depending on the size of your home. You can get a price in 60 seconds, or find out more in our end of tenancy cleaning cost guide.

Mario and Lucía, wow. Incredible communication throughout the day and they walked me through every step of what needed to be done in my apartment. Their dedication to providing a premium quality clean was outstanding and the results reflected that. They were committed towards a high standard of work and I am certainly using them again for any cleaning works I need. Couldn't have said more 'wow's' during the aftermath, every room looked completely brand new. Thank you both so much for your hard work!!

My cleaners for my end of tenancy were a trio of women who were deployed skilfully to different jobs: one on floors and carpet cleaning; one doing a brilliant oven and fridge clean; one doing all bathrooms. English speaking was good & they left all areas spotless, neat and tidy and as if brand new. Beautiful work.

They did a great job not only in the cleaning itself, but being graceful with how stressed i was with other stuff in the flat as i was moving a couple things as they started their clean. They were very understanding and it made the whole experience go very smooth and would highly reccomend them to whoever is looking for an end of tenancy cleaning
