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 South East London typically costs between £150 and £600, depending on the size of your home. The average price in South East London is £336. You can get a price in 60 seconds, or find out more in our end of tenancy cleaning cost guide.

The two ladies did a brilliant job. Everything was tip top for cleanliness! The agency's check out team said that the flat was in excellent condition. Even the sofa which the ladies steam cleaned looked much better than when we first moved in. I'm really happy. A thousand thank yous to them.

Greenwich (SE10)
Friendly and contentious cleaners who were on time and communicated well. I was moving into a flat but the cleaning done by the landlord was poor so the Housekeep team came in and made it feel like new. I have very high expectations and they more than met them. Particularly impressive give I only booked them the day before. The flat went from feeling like a slightly grimy downgrade to my fresh, sparkling new home. Thank you!
