What is end of tenancy cleaning?
End of tenancy cleaning is a professional deep clean of a rental flat, carried out to the standard required by estate agents and inventory clerks before a tenant hands back the keys.
It covers every room top to bottom: oven degreased, bathroom descaled, skirting boards wiped, light switches cleaned. The kind of clean that meets the checkout standards set by agencies like Foxtons, Savills and Knight Frank.
It is not a regular clean and it is not the same as a deep clean. Your deposit is protected by the TDS or DPS, but if the property fails the inventory check, your landlord can claim cleaning costs directly from it. In our experience, a professional end of tenancy cleaning in London is the smartest money you can spend before handing over the keys.
What does end of tenancy cleaning actually cover?
Every room scrubbed to inventory checkout standard. We bring our own products, equipment and 7 years of knowing exactly what gets flagged.
Kitchen
The kitchen is where most tenants lose money. Last month alone, we saved three tenants in Hackney from oven-grease deductions their landlords had already flagged.
- Oven, hob and extractor inside and out
- Fridge and freezer defrosted and cleaned
- All cupboards wiped inside and out
- Sink, taps and splashback descaled
- Worktops, tiles and floor deep cleaned
Bathroom
Limescale builds up so gradually you stop noticing it. Your letting agent won’t. Neither will we, that’s the point. Mould, grime, watermarks: gone.
- Toilet, bath and shower descaled
- Tiles, grout and sealant scrubbed
- Mirror, glass and chrome polished
- Extractor fan and vents cleaned
- Floor mopped and dried
Living Areas & Bedrooms
Here’s a thing most tenants overlook: skirting boards. They’re on every single inventory checklist, and they’re filthy in ways you don’t see until someone bends down with a white glove.
- Skirting boards, door frames and handles
- Light switches, plug sockets and fittings
- Window sills and interior glass
- Radiators and behind furniture
- All floors hoovered and mopped
