End of Tenancy Cleaning

Thorough cleaning service for properties at the end of a rental agreement.

About End of Tenancy Cleaning

End of tenancy cleaning is a comprehensive deep clean designed to return a rental property to its original condition, meeting the strict standards required by landlords and letting agents for deposit return. This service goes far beyond regular cleaning, addressing every corner of the property including areas often overlooked in routine maintenance. Professional cleaners follow detailed checklists that cover kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, and often include carpet cleaning, window cleaning, and oven cleaning as standard. Many letting agents require professional cleaning receipts as proof that the property has been cleaned to an acceptable standard. The thoroughness of end of tenancy cleaning can make the difference between receiving your full deposit back or facing deductions. Most professional services offer guarantees, meaning they'll return to address any issues raised by the landlord or agent inspection.
