Frequently asked questions

Why do I need an end of tenancy clean before I move out?

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.

What’s the difference between regular cleaning and end of tenancy 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.

What's the difference between end of tenancy cleaning and deep cleaning?

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.

Which items can be left in the property during an end of tenancy 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.

How do I pay?

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

How can I arrange access if I’m not at home?

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.

How long does an end of tenancy clean take?

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

What equipment do cleaning teams bring?

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

We are extremely impressed with our end-of-tenancy clean. The cleaner, Juan, went far above and beyond. I don't think the flat has ever been this clean. Will be using this service again. Thank you!

These guys were amazing when I booked them for an end of tenancy clean. The flat was in a bad way before and they didn't leave until it was spotless. So worth the money.

Snaresbrook (E11)

Amazing end of tenancy deep clean. Myself and my friend moved all our stuff out in the morning and the flat was quite dusty and dirty. Came back after a few hours after moving into the new place and it was absolutely spotless. The taps shinier than they had ever been, the oven, fridge and freezer really clean and no issues when we had to hand the key back.

Brent Cross Edgware Golders Green Hendon Holders Hill Mill Hill West Finchley

“We’ve had cleaners before, but honestly this was on another level. From the moment Toyin arrived she was wearing her little blue boot covers — something most people never bother with — it was clear she takes real pride in what she does. The house was left absolutely spotless, but it’s the thoughtful details that really set her apart. Rather than just leaving the dirty rags scattered around, she’d gathered them neatly into a little bag and tied it with a bow — a small touch, but one that really stuck with us. Little things like that throughout made all the difference. We’ll be booking again without question. Couldn’t recommend her more highly. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.”
