Frequently asked questions

Why do I need to book a move out clean before I move out?

Most tenancy agreements require you to organise a move-out/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 move out cleaning?

Move in/out 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 a move in/out clean. All cupboards will be cleaned - inside and out - as well as inside windows.

All tasks included in a standard home clean - including mopping, vacuuming and surface cleaning - are also completed during a move in/out clean.

What's the difference between move in/out cleaning and deep cleaning?

Our move in/move out cleaning service is the most thorough clean you can book. It's designed for homes that are completely empty, so the cleaning team can clean even more hard-to-reach areas - including the inside of cupboards & appliances.

Our deep cleaning service is more thorough than regular cleaning, but is designed for homes that are still being lived in.

Which items can be left in the property during a move in/out 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 you move out. 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?

We can collect keys from a key safe, a neighbour or your estate agent (within a ten minute walk 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 a move in/move out clean take?

It usually takes your cleaning team 3-5 hours to complete a move-in/move-out clean.

What equipment do cleaning teams bring?

The cleaning team will bring everything they need for your move in/move out clean, including all products and a vacuum cleaner.

How does the Housekeep Guarantee work?

If we miss anything, let us know within 72 hours and we’ll come back and reclean it for free.

We booked an end of tenancy clean and were naturally a bit nervous as our deposit depended on it. Couldn't be happier with the results! Really thorough and great attention to detail paid! Would 100% book again! Matt, Wimbledon

The team were very good, quick, and efficient. They were very friendly and cleaned very well - making the entire flat look brand new again. Only nitpicking but there were a few corners and a doorframe that weren't dusted but otherwise a great job!

Arrived a bit late but once settled got to it straight away. Communication was a bit hit & miss about the particular focus areas I had in mind, but once completed a really thorough clean with almost no stone left unturned. Will love to have the cleaners again!

Djonatan and Michael were superb! They stayed until the whole flat was clean even though it took double the time they originally thought. They were polite, positive and dedicated to the job, very very well done! Would definitely recommend.

Beddington Corner (CR4)

The team and clean were both phenomenal! I moved into a new flat that hadn't been cleaned prior to my arrival. The oven looked like it had never ever been cleaned; the shower was full of limescale etc. The team were super, super thorough - the oven is now spotless and the apartment looks great! They truly went above and beyond and stayed until the place was spotless. Couldn't recommend more!
