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 Islington typically costs between £150 and £600, depending on the size of your home. The average price in Islington is £309. You can get a price in 60 seconds, or find out more in our end of tenancy cleaning cost guide.

Akib and his team were great. Easy communication, flexed the start time to accommodate me and worked until I was completely happy with the clean. They were very happy to clean further when I inspected and noticed some areas that needed closer attention.

Mario and Lucia were outstanding, they did such a thorough and beautiful job for my end of tenancy clean. I can't recommend them enough, such lovely people and such attention to detail! Huge thank you.

Dalston (N16)
You couldn’t ask for harder-working people. They have worked incredibly hard from start to finish. We were initially told the end-of-tenancy clean would take around four hours, but it ended up taking more than five hours. Throughout the entire job, they maintained the same positive attitude and work ethic they had in the first hour. Their professionalism and dedication were outstanding.

Jonathan
Highgate (N6)
The clean itself was excellent. Very thorough and very well done. I'd recommend these specific cleaners. The Housekeep platform however was very difficult to work with, for multiple reasons including poor customer service, and confusing time slots. I would have much preferred to be able to work with these cleaners directly, without the housekeep middle man.
