What Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Service Includes

- Windows (internal only): panes, sills and frames
- Vacuuming of carpets, rugs and soft furnishings
- Hard floor cleaning: vacuum and mop according to floor type
- Cobweb removal and high-level dusting where safe to reach
What Is Not Included as Standard
To keep pricing fair and transparent, some tasks are not included by default but can often be added on request:
- Professional carpet and upholstery cleaning (deep extraction) – available as an add-on
- External window cleaning
- Waste removal, rubbish clearance or abandoned furniture removal
- Gardening or exterior cleaning such as patios and garages
- Cleaning of areas that are unsafe or inaccessible (e.g. high external windows without safe access)

We will always explain clearly what is included in your quote, and we are happy to tailor the job to match your tenancy agreement or inventory report.
Local Expertise in SE22
We work across SE22 – including East Dulwich, parts of Peckham and the surrounding areas – and understand the standards expected by local landlords and letting agents. Our cleaners are experienced with Victorian terraces, modern flats and house shares, and we adapt our approach to each property type.
Because we are local, we can offer flexible arrival times, short-notice bookings where our schedule allows, and consistent teams who know the area and typical property layouts.
Who Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Is For
Renters and Homeowners Moving Out
Tenants and homeowners use this service to leave a property in the best possible condition for inspection. A thorough clean reduces the risk of disputes over cleanliness and helps you move on without last-minute stress.
Landlords and Letting Agents
Landlords and agents rely on us to prepare properties quickly and consistently between tenancies. We help reduce void periods by delivering a clean that is ready for new marketing photos and viewings, often combined with our professional carpet cleaning.
Students and Houseshare Tenants
Shared properties can be challenging to organise at the end of a tenancy. We provide fixed-price cleaning for student lets and HMOs, ensuring communal areas, bathrooms and kitchens meet check-out standards and make splitting costs simpler for everyone.
Businesses and Commercial Tenancies
For small offices, studios and commercial units in SE22, we offer move-out cleaning tailored to your lease requirements. This typically includes kitchenettes, toilets, floors, internal glass and removal of dust from desks and fixtures so you can hand back the space in compliance with your contract.
Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quotation
You contact us with basic details: property size, location in SE22, number of bathrooms, any carpets or upholstery to be professionally cleaned, and your preferred dates. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining exactly what’s included, any recommended add-ons and how long the clean is likely to take.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most standard properties we can quote accurately using photos or a brief virtual walkthrough. For larger or unusual properties, we may recommend a short onsite visit. This helps us to assess the condition of ovens, bathrooms, carpets and any heavy build-up so that there are no surprises on the day and your quote remains accurate.
3. Preparation and Cleaning Day
On the day, our trained team arrives with all necessary equipment and products. We ask that the property is emptied of personal belongings so we can clean thoroughly. The team then works systematically room by room, following our detailed checklist and any specific notes agreed in advance. Before leaving, we carry out a final walkthrough to ensure nothing has been missed.
Transparent Pricing – How We Charge
We price end of tenancy cleaning mainly by property size, number of bathrooms and overall condition. Typical factors that influence cost include:
- Studio, 1-bed, 2-bed, 3+ bed property
- Number of bathrooms and WCs
- Whether you add professional carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning
- Heavily soiled kitchens or bathrooms requiring extra time
All quotes are provided in advance, with no hidden charges. If we believe additional work may be needed (for example, a very heavily soiled oven), we will discuss options before starting. We can invoice per property or directly to tenants, landlords or agents, depending on your preference.
Why Use Professional End of Tenancy Cleaners Instead of DIY?
End of tenancy cleaning is more detailed than a normal clean and is judged against inventory reports and check-out inspections. Hiring a professional team offers several advantages:
- We know the common areas that lead to deposit deductions and focus on them
- We bring commercial-grade products and equipment, including for limescale and grease
- Our trained staff follow structured checklists so rooms are not rushed or overlooked
- We save you time during an already stressful move, allowing you to focus on packing and logistics
- You have a clear invoice and job record if any questions arise with your landlord or agent
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Carpet Cleaning SE22 operates with robust cover and standards for your peace of mind:
- Public liability insurance – protects you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury while we are working on your property.
- Goods in transit insurance – where we transport our equipment and any of your items (by prior arrangement), they are appropriately covered.
- Trained, vetted teams – all cleaners are given practical training in end of tenancy requirements, safe product use and working respectfully in people’s homes.
We work to clear, written procedures, use appropriate PPE where required and handle keys securely when working with agents and landlords.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to balance effective cleaning with responsible practices:
- Use of professional products selected for both performance and reduced environmental impact where suitable
- Colour-coded cloths and mops to prevent cross-contamination between kitchens, bathrooms and living areas
- Protective measures such as corner guards or careful placement of equipment to avoid scuffs and marks
- Thoughtful water and energy use, planning our work route efficiently across SE22 to minimise travel where possible
We treat every property as if it were our own, working carefully around fixtures and fittings, and always leaving the space safe and tidy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning in SE22 cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size and condition of the property and whether you add services such as professional carpet cleaning. As a guide, a small one-bedroom flat will be less than a larger family house with multiple bathrooms. We provide a clear, fixed quote once we know the number of rooms, bathrooms and any specific issues such as heavy grease or limescale. There are no hidden charges, and any optional extras are itemised so you can decide what you need based on your tenancy agreement and budget.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?
We can often help with short-notice or urgent bookings in SE22, depending on our schedule. Moves do not always go to plan, and keys or dates can change at the last minute. If you need a same-day or next-day clean, contact us as early as possible with your property details and preferred time. We will check availability and may suggest flexible arrival windows to fit you in. Where we cannot meet your exact time, we will offer the nearest suitable slot and explain what is realistic.
Are you insured while working in my property?
Yes. We are fully insured with public liability cover, which protects against accidental damage or injury while we are working on your premises. We also hold appropriate goods in transit insurance for our equipment and any agreed items we may transport. Our teams are trained in safe working practices, careful use of products and respectful handling of fixtures and fittings. If you are a landlord or agent and need evidence of our insurance for your records, we can provide documentation on request before the job is booked.
What exactly is included in an end of tenancy clean?
An end of tenancy clean is a detailed deep clean of the whole property: kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, hallways and internal windows. We clean cupboards inside and out, remove limescale where possible, degrease surfaces, wipe skirting, switches and doors, vacuum all carpets and mop hard floors. We follow a structured checklist that focuses on the areas most commonly inspected at check-out. Tasks such as professional carpet cleaning, external windows, rubbish removal or gardening are not included as standard but can often be added or arranged separately.
How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy cleaning?
Ideally, book as soon as you know your move-out date so we can reserve a slot close to your check-out inspection. For peak times, such as month-end or summer, availability in SE22 can become limited, so a week or two’s notice is helpful. That said, we understand moves change and we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests. When booking, it is best to choose a time after your belongings are removed so we can clean thoroughly without working around boxes and furniture.
