Just our in-house crew with the right products for every surface finish.
TL;DR: End of tenancy cleaning in the City of London from £150. 98% checkout pass rate. Same-day slots often available. We bring everything. WhatsApp us for a free quote — usually replied within minutes.
Why the City of London demands a different level of end of tenancy cleaning
The Square Mile is not like other parts of London. Most rental properties here are modern apartments in purpose-built towers or converted office buildings — think integrated appliances, engineered flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows and concierge-managed entrances. Deposits on these flats regularly exceed £2,500, sometimes significantly more.
Letting agents operating in EC1 through EC4 — Foxtons, Savills, JLL, CBRE Residential — use very detailed inventory reports. They photograph every surface, every appliance interior, every grout line. A fingerprint on a stainless-steel splashback can end up as a line item on your checkout report.
That is why end of tenancy cleaning in the City of London needs someone who understands high-spec finishes and corporate agent expectations. It is not the same as a regular clean, and it is not the same as a standard deep clean either. 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.
Every room cleaned to inventory checkout standard in EC1-EC4
City apartments often have higher-end fixtures than the London average. We bring the right products for every surface — no scratched worktops, no streaked glass, no damaged engineered wood.
Kitchen
City flats often have integrated Bosch or Siemens appliances behind handleless cabinets. We have cleaned hundreds of them and know how to degrease an integrated oven without leaving residue on the cabinetry around it.
- 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
Hard water in the City means limescale builds up fast on rain showers and chrome fixtures. We had a tenant near Moorgate last month who thought their shower screen was permanently clouded. Twenty minutes of the right descaler and it was transparent again.
- 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
Floor-to-ceiling windows are a selling point in City towers, right up until your inventory clerk spots dust on every blind slat and smudges on the glass. We clean window interiors, tracks and frames as standard.
- 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
The real cost of skipping professional cleaning in EC postcodes
City of London deposits are among the highest in the capital. A 1-bed near Liverpool Street can carry a deposit north of £2,000. Losing £700 to a cleaning deduction because the oven was not properly degreased is not a hypothetical — we hear it from new clients every week.

Do you clean high-rise apartments with concierge access in EC2? +
Yes. We regularly clean apartments in managed buildings across the Square Mile, from the Barbican Estate to new-builds near Liverpool Street. We coordinate with concierge teams for access, parking and service lift bookings. Just share the building details when you message us and we handle the rest.
Can you match the inventory standard used by CBRE and JLL? +
Absolutely. Corporate agents like CBRE Residential, JLL, Savills and Foxtons use very detailed inventory reports with photographic evidence. We know exactly what their clerks check — every appliance interior, every grout line, every light fitting. 98% of our clients pass their checkout inspection first time.
How quickly can you clean a City flat before checkout? +
A 1-bed takes 3-4 hours, a 2-bed takes 4-5 hours. We offer same-day availability 7 days a week. Many City tenants book us the morning of their checkout and hand keys over the same afternoon. Just give us as much notice as you can.
Do converted office buildings need different cleaning? +
Often, yes. Converted offices in the City can have polished concrete floors, industrial-style kitchens, exposed brickwork and floor-to-ceiling windows. We adapt our products and approach to each surface type so nothing gets damaged and everything meets the inventory standard your agent expects.
What if my letting agent rejects the clean? +
We come back and fix it at no extra charge. It rarely happens — 98% of our clients pass first time — but if an inventory clerk flags anything, we return and sort it before your deposit is affected. That guarantee applies to every property we clean.
