End of Tenancy Cleaning Hackney:
E5, E8 & E9
Hackney’s rental market moves fast. Flats turn over constantly — young professionals shifting between Dalston flatshares, couples upgrading from a studio off Mare Street, sharers splitting up and scattering across East London. Every single one of them needs their deposit back.
We’ve been cleaning Hackney move-outs since 2017. Victorian conversions with sash windows and ornate coving, warehouse lofts near Broadway Market, ex-council flats in Clapton — we know what the local letting agents look for because we’ve cleaned for their tenants hundreds of times. No subcontractors. No call centres. Just our in-house crew.
TL;DR: End of tenancy cleaning in Hackney from £150. 98% of our clients pass their checkout inspection first time. Same-day slots often open. We bring everything. WhatsApp us for a free quote, usually replied within minutes.
Why do Hackney flats need specialist move-out cleaning?
Hackney has some of the oldest rental housing stock in East London. Think Victorian terraces chopped into two or three flats, period fireplaces collecting soot, tall sash windows with years of grime in the runners. A standard wipe-down will not cut it here.
End of tenancy cleaning is a professional deep clean carried out to the exact standard your letting agent and inventory clerk expect before you hand back the keys. Every surface, every appliance, every skirting board — cleaned to checkout level so your deposit comes back in full.
The borough has one of London’s highest tenant turnover rates. Agencies like Foxtons Hackney, Keatons and Courtneys process move-outs constantly, and their clerks have seen every shortcut in the book. In our experience, a proper professional clean is the difference between getting your full deposit and losing £500+ in deductions through the TDS.
What we clean in every Hackney property
Room by room, top to bottom. We bring our own products, equipment and seven years of knowing exactly what Hackney inventory clerks flag.
Kitchen
Last week we cleaned a 2-bed on Mare Street where the landlord had flagged oven grease from three years of flatmates. Took us forty minutes on the oven alone. That is how thorough we go — because Hackney kitchens in shared flats take serious abuse.
- 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
Hackney’s hard water leaves limescale on everything. Shared bathrooms in HMOs around Dalston get it twice as fast because of the traffic. We descale every surface until chrome looks new and grout looks white 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
Victorian Hackney flats come with gorgeous details — ornate coving, picture rails, original fireplaces. They also come with dust traps that inventory clerks know exactly where to check. We’ve cleaned enough E8 properties to know every one of those spots.
- Skirting boards, door frames and handles
- Light switches, plug sockets and fittings
- Window sills, sash runners and interior glass
- Radiators, coving and fireplace surrounds
- All floors hoovered and mopped
DIY versus professional: what Hackney landlords actually see
Honestly, most tenants think their flat looks fine when they leave. Then the inventory clerk arrives with a checklist and a torch. We’ve seen tenants in E9 lose £700 over an oven and a bathroom they spent a whole Sunday scrubbing. Here is what the difference looks like on paper.
| Factor | DIY Clean | Good Old Clean | Random Cleaner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Checkout inspection pass rate | ~50% | 98% | ~70% |
| Knows inventory checklist | No | Yes, 7 years | Sometimes |
| Products & equipment | Your own | All included | Varies |
| Re-clean if inspection fails | No | We come back | Rarely |
| Same-day available | Yes | Yes | Unlikely |
| Trusted by letting agents | No | Yes | No |

Do you clean HMOs and flatshares in E8? +
Yes. Hackney has one of the highest concentrations of HMOs and flatshares in London, especially around Dalston and Mare Street. We clean shared kitchens, communal bathrooms and individual rooms to the standard letting agents like Foxtons Hackney and Keatons expect. We also offer standalone HMO cleaning if the whole house needs doing.
Which Hackney estate agents do you work with? +
We regularly clean properties managed by Foxtons Hackney, Keatons, Courtneys and several independent Hackney lettings agencies. We know their checkout checklists and what their inventory clerks flag. That knowledge is why 98% of our clients pass first time.
Can you clean a Hackney flat at short notice? +
Usually, yes. We operate 7 days a week and often have same-day or next-day slots available for Hackney properties. WhatsApp us your postcode and move-out date and we will confirm availability within minutes.
What do Hackney inventory clerks check? +
They check everything room by room against the original inventory report: oven interior, limescale on taps, skirting boards, light switches, window sills, inside cupboards. In older Hackney Victorians, they also look at ornate coving, picture rails and original fireplace surrounds for dust and grime.
Is there parking near my Hackney flat for your team? +
Parking in Hackney varies by street. Many E8 and E9 roads have resident permit zones, but we carry visitor permits and know which streets offer pay-and-display bays near Mare Street, London Fields and the Broadway Market area. Just share your address and we will sort parking ourselves.
