Who Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Is For

Renters and Homeowners Moving Out

If you are leaving a rented flat or house, a properly completed end of tenancy clean can help protect your deposit and avoid disputes. For homeowners, it ensures the property is handed over in a respectful, ready-to-move-in condition for buyers.

Landlords and Letting Agents

We regularly work with professional landlords and agencies across London, preparing properties quickly between tenancies. Our teams follow consistent checklists and can adapt to your preferred inventory standards, delivering a clean that supports smoother check-ins and fewer complaints.

Businesses and Commercial Lets

We also support office and commercial tenants at the end of a lease. Our trained teams can handle meeting rooms, kitchens, WCs and staff areas, leaving them ready for handover or re-letting.

Students in Shared Accommodation

Student lets often require careful, detailed cleaning at the end of the academic year. We can clean single rooms, shared spaces or whole houses, helping groups to present the property in good condition and reduce the risk of collective deposit deductions.

What Is Not Included as Standard

To keep our pricing fair and transparent, some tasks are not included in the standard end of tenancy cleaning but can often be added on request:

• External window cleaning above ground-floor level
• Deep stain removal on carpets requiring specialist treatment
• Professional carpet cleaning (available as an add-on service)
• Cleaning of walls/ceilings beyond light spot cleaning
• Cleaning of lofts, garages or outbuildings unless agreed
• Removal of heavy rubbish, furniture or large items
• Gardening, exterior pressure washing or balcony jet washing

We will always clarify what is and is not included in your quote before you book, so you know exactly what to expect.

Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Clear Quotation

Contact us by phone, email or our online form with details of your property: size, number of rooms, condition, parking and access. We ask a few straightforward questions, then provide a tailored, fixed quotation with no hidden extras. You will receive this in writing so you can share it with landlords or agents if required.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most London properties, a brief virtual survey (photos or video) is sufficient. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend an onsite visit. This allows us to assess condition, discuss any problem areas (heavy limescale, grease or mould), and confirm any additional services such as carpet cleaning. The aim is to plan the job correctly and avoid last-minute surprises.

3. Preparation Before We Arrive

We ask that the property is as empty as possible and that any personal belongings and rubbish are removed prior to cleaning. Fridges and freezers should be emptied and, ideally, defrosted. If you need help with minor removal of items or bagging up, we can usually assist by prior agreement. On the day, our professional team arrives on time with all necessary equipment and products.

4. Detailed Cleaning on the Day

Our cleaners work through an agreed checklist, room by room, starting with kitchens and bathrooms. Team leaders carry out quality checks throughout the visit. If you or your agent are attending, we are happy to walk through key areas at the end so any concerns can be addressed immediately.

5. Final Checks and Documentation

Once the clean is complete, we carry out a final inspection and can provide a completion note or invoice for your records. Where requested, we can share basic before-and-after photos for landlords or inventory clerks as evidence of the standard of clean.

Transparent Pricing for End of Tenancy Cleaning in London

End of tenancy cleaning prices vary with size, condition and access, but we always provide clear, itemised quotes. Our typical pricing is based on:

• Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
• Presence of additional rooms (studies, utility rooms, conservatories)
• Current condition and any heavy soiling
• Optional extras such as carpet cleaning or appliance deep cleaning

You pay a fixed price agreed in advance, not an hourly estimate that drifts. There are no weekend surcharges for pre-booked work, and any parking or congestion charge requirements will be explained before you confirm the booking.

Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Over DIY?

Many tenants start with the intention of doing the cleaning themselves, only to find it more time-consuming and stressful than expected. Professional cleaning offers several clear advantages:

• Trained cleaners who know what landlords and inventory clerks look for
• Professional products and equipment that remove grease, limescale and odours more effectively
• Systematic checklists to ensure no key areas are overlooked
• Time savings at a point when you are already busy with packing and moving
• A more consistent standard, reducing the risk of disputes and re-clean requests

For landlords and agents, using a professional company like Soho Cleaners helps protect the value of the property and minimises void periods between tenancies.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Soho Cleaners operates with full, current insurance and clear working practices to protect you and your property:

• Goods in transit insurance for any equipment or materials we bring to and from your property
• Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury during our work
• Trained and vetted teams, experienced in end of tenancy standards across London

Our cleaners follow established checklists and use appropriate products for different surfaces. Where a surface is already damaged or heavily worn, we will always do our best to improve it while being honest about what is realistically achievable.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every property with care, whether it is a studio flat or a family home. Floors, worktops and delicate surfaces are protected with suitable products and methods, and we avoid harsh abrasives unless absolutely necessary. Where possible, we use low-impact and eco-conscious cleaning products that still deliver the level of cleanliness required at the end of a tenancy.

Our teams are trained to use the minimum effective amount of water and chemicals, and to separate recyclable materials where this is practical and appropriate. We aim to leave properties not only clean, but also safe and comfortable for the next occupants.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size and condition of the property, plus any optional extras you choose. A small one-bedroom flat will naturally cost less than a large family home with multiple bathrooms. Once we know the number of rooms and basic condition, we provide a fixed quote that includes labour, equipment and materials. There are no hidden charges, and any additional costs, such as parking or carpet cleaning, are clearly outlined before you commit.

Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?

We understand that moves do not always go to plan, and last-minute cleaning is sometimes unavoidable. Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or next-day appointments within London. Availability is better on weekdays and outside peak moving dates. If your situation is urgent, call us directly so we can check live availability and discuss realistic timeframes. Even when working at short notice, we maintain the same professional standards and attention to detail.

Are you insured while working in my property?

Yes. We operate with full public liability insurance and goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials. This protects you, your landlord and our team while we are on site. All staff are briefed on safe working practices and the careful handling of fixtures, fittings and appliances. If you need written confirmation of our insurance cover for a landlord or letting agent, we can provide this on request prior to the cleaning date.

What exactly is included in your end of tenancy cleaning service?

Our standard service covers all internal rooms, including kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas and hallways. Tasks include dusting, wiping and sanitising surfaces, internal window cleaning, skirting boards, switches, sockets, and full floor care. In the kitchen, we clean inside cupboards, fridge, oven and microwave, and we descale and degrease key areas. Bathrooms are thoroughly descaled and disinfected. Extra services such as carpet cleaning, balconies or external windows can be added by agreement at the quoting stage.

How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy clean?

We recommend booking as soon as you know your move-out date, especially during busy periods such as month-end and summer. A week or two in advance usually gives you the best choice of time slots. That said, we do keep some flexibility for last-minute bookings where possible. When planning your move, try to schedule cleaning after removals have taken place, so our team can access all areas properly and achieve the best possible result.
