End of Tenancy Professional Cleaning - Who has to clean what?

Are you getting ready to move out of your rental property and dreading the thought of searching for a house cleaning service? Don't worry, we've got you covered!

End of tenancy cleaning can be a daunting task, but it's necessary if you want to get your security deposit back!

We’ve created this extensive guide to answer all of your burning questions about professional end-of-tenancy cleaning

Is professional cleaning required at the end of my tenancy in the UK?

Ah, the joys of moving out of a rental property! While it may not be the most glamorous task, it is expected that tenants in the UK leave their rental homes sparkling clean and shiny for the next lucky occupants. 

This process is known as "end of tenancy cleaning," and while it's not exactly a legal requirement, it's usually written into the rental agreement or lease. So, if you want to get your security deposit back, it’s always a good idea to hire a residential cleaning company to blitz the house from top to bottom! 

Just be sure to check the fine print of your rental agreement to see exactly what's expected of you in terms of cleaning! You don’t want to get caught out when the landlord comes for the final inspection!

What does professional end-of-tenancy cleaning include?

Professional end-of-tenancy cleaning typically includes a deep cleaning of the entire rental property, including the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, and any other rooms. The exact tasks that are included may vary, but generally, a professional end-of-tenancy cleaning service will:

  • Wiping down of all surfaces, including countertops, tables, and shelves
  • Clean appliances, such as the stove, oven, refrigerator, and microwave
  • Scrubbing the sinks, bathtubs, and showers
  • Clean and disinfect toilets
  • Dusting and polishing all upholstery
  • Vacuum and mopping all floors
  • Clean windows and mirrors
  • Chemical carpet cleaning is usually not included but can be added on as an extra

You can estimate how long end-of-tenancy cleaning will take based on the tasks you want to prioritize!

It is a good idea for you to discuss any specific needs with the cleaning company at the point of booking to ensure that all areas of the property are sufficiently covered!

Where can I find dependable end-of-tenancy cleaning services?

There are several ways you can find trustworthy end-of-tenancy cleaning companies online:

  1. Search for cleaning companies in your local area using a search engine, such as Google. This will allow you to find companies that are based near your rental property.
  2. Check out online review websites, such as Yelp or Trustpilot, to find end-of-tenancy cleaning companies in your area. These websites can provide you with customer reviews and ratings, which can help you find a reputable company.
  3. Ask for recommendations from friends, family, or close neighbours! Personal recommendations can sometimes be the best way to find a reliable home cleaning service.

The average cost of end-of-tenancy cleaning 

 Finding the best end-of-tenancy cleaning services in London requires a lot of research work.

The cost of professional end-of-tenancy cleaning can vary depending on a number of factors, including the size of the property, the condition of the rental, and the specific cleaning jobs that are required. 

In general, you can expect to pay anywhere from £100 to £400 for end-of-tenancy cleaning in the UK. However, it is important to get a quote from a professional cleaning company or individual cleaner to get a more accurate estimate of the cost for your specific needs. It is also highly recommended to shop around and compare prices from different companies to ensure that you are getting the best deal!

Tips to find the best professional cleaning services!

While conducting your research, it’s important to consider a number of factors before making your final choice. Here are some of the top things to take into account:

Reputation

Experience

Choose a company that has experience in the type of cleaning you need, such as experience cleaning rental properties.
