How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost?

End of tenancy cleaning is normally charged as a fixed price based on the size and condition of the property, rather than by the hour. A larger property, or one that has not been well maintained, takes longer and costs more. It is more thorough than a standard clean because it has to meet inventory standards, but set against the deposit at stake, it usually pays for itself.

What affects the price?

• Property size: more rooms and bathrooms mean more work.
• Condition: heavy build-up, grease and limescale add time.
• The oven: a badly soiled oven is one of the most time-consuming items.
• Extras: carpet cleaning or external windows on request.
• Furnished or empty: empty properties are often quicker to clean thoroughly.

What is included?

A proper end of tenancy clean is a full, deposit-ready deep clean of every room, measured against your move-in inventory. That covers oven and kitchen degreasing, bathroom descaling, internal windows, skirting, inside cupboards and floors. For the full scope, see our end of tenancy cleaning checklist.

Why it is worth it

Cleaning is the single most common cause of deposit deductions in the UK. A professional end of tenancy clean meets the standard agents and landlords expect, first time, and gives you evidence of the condition you left. Weighed against losing part or all of your deposit, it is usually money well spent, as we explain in our guide on getting your deposit back.
