End of Tenancy Cleaning
Resolve the building route before the cleaning date
| Arrangement | What we establish | Who should confirm it |
|---|---|---|
| Entry and permission to attend | The person booking supplies the property address and the authorised way to enter. If a reception or concierge team controls entry, the booking contact needs to establish any applicable visitor procedure in advance. Confirm the permitted entrance and who can admit the team before relying on the cleaning appointment. | The tenant, landlord or managing agent provides the actual building instructions. |
| Lift and equipment route | Where the property is above ground level, we ask about lift availability, stairs and any equipment restrictions. A reserved moving slot is not automatically a cleaning slot. If the route changes after a removal company has used it, the revised arrangement needs to be shared so the cleaner can reach the property as planned. | The building manager confirms any access window or restriction applicable to the visit. |

Turn the inventory into a cleaning list
| Handover detail | Our cleaning scope decision | Boundary to retain |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory and room schedule | Send the relevant cleaning requirements from the inventory or agent checklist before the quote is finalised. We match them to the actual rooms and available access, identifying ambiguous entries such as professional clean or appliances included. A list of furnishings also helps distinguish an empty property from one containing landlord-owned furniture. | The cleaner follows the agreed work schedule; the inventory clerk makes their own independent assessment. |
| Move-out condition | Photographs and an honest description of the condition help us assess the workload. If belongings will remain in cupboards or a removal company will still be packing, say so. Cleaning an accessible empty cupboard is different from emptying, sorting and replacing someone’s possessions, and those distinctions affect what can be completed. | Rubbish clearance, packing and item removal are not automatically part of the tenancy cleaning scope. |

Kitchen, bathrooms and the remaining property
| Part of the property | Tasks to specify | Scope detail |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen cupboards and appliances | The kitchen brief identifies accessible worktops, sink, splashbacks and the internal or external cupboard surfaces included. List each appliance interior separately, including whether a fridge or freezer will be empty and ready. We plan the sequence around the booked appliance work rather than assuming every integrated unit can be disconnected or pulled out. | Doors and accessible surfaces are cleaned as agreed; disconnection and repair remain separate. |
| Bathrooms and shower rooms | We work through the included sanitary fittings and suitable surrounding surfaces, taking account of the material and visible condition. The brief can identify shower screens, taps, basins and other accessible details that need attention for handover. Failed seals, etched finishes and damaged grout are distinguished from removable surface deposits. | The service addresses cleaning within reach and specification, not restoration of defective bathroom materials. |
| Bedrooms, living room and circulation areas | The agreed accessible surfaces, skirting areas and floor finishes are addressed according to the room list. Where furniture remains, identify the accessible space beneath or around it rather than assuming unrestricted movement. Internal glazing, balcony doors and any balcony surface need an explicit decision about what side or area is included. | Common corridors and the building lobby are outside the private-property clean unless separately contracted. |
End of Tenancy Cleaning
The order from vacancy to final review
| Dependency | How we organise the clean | What to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Removal work finished | The best working brief tells us when the property becomes available for uninterrupted cleaning. If large items are still being moved, we need to know which rooms remain usable. Dirt introduced after a room has been finished is a different event from an unfinished cleaning task, so the timing of other contractors matters. | Do not assume that simultaneous packing and whole-property cleaning can proceed without affecting access. |
| Wet areas and appliance tasks | Kitchen and bathroom work is organised with suitable products and equipment for the actual surfaces. Appliance parts and removable items are handled only where their removal is appropriate and included. Floors are finished with consideration for the route out, reducing the need to retrace a cleaned area while carrying equipment. | Appliance cleaning is not permission to undertake electrical work or dismantle inaccessible mechanisms. |
End of Tenancy Cleaning
Separate cleaning from the other move-out jobs
| Request | How it is treated | Why it is separate |
|---|---|---|
| Carpet or sofa treatment | Vacuuming agreed floor areas is different from extraction cleaning a fitted carpet or treating a landlord’s sofa. Tell us the number of rooms, fabric details and known stains when requesting an additional service. We can then identify that work within the quote instead of describing every visible mark as covered by a general tenancy clean. | Material suitability, treatment method and drying requirements need their own assessment. |
| Repairs and replacement | Broken handles, failed light fittings, damaged silicone and scratches to flooring remain repair or maintenance matters. We flag an obvious issue that affects cleaning, but a room’s cleaner cannot certify the condition of all appliances and installations. Where the inventory lists damage, the clean should not be presented as a solution to that damage. | Different trades and the property owner handle work beyond the cleaning specification. |
| Terraces, external glazing and shared space | An apartment’s exterior or shared building area is not automatically available to an individual cleaner. Balconies, exterior window faces and communal corridors may involve access restrictions or another responsible party. We discuss only the requested areas and confirm their suitability instead of extending a flat booking to an entire building. | The property boundary and permitted access determine what can be quoted. |

Price the property and the specified workload
| Property basis | Starting amount | Information needed for the quote |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bedroom property | A studio clean starts from £140 per property; a one-bedroom property starts from £238 per property. These starting amounts relate to the stated property category rather than the number of floors in the building. Tell us the bathroom count, condition and appliance list so the quote reflects the property being handed over. | Supply photographs where the layout or cleaning condition is difficult to explain in a room count. |
| Larger property | A two-bedroom property starts from £275 per property, a three-bedroom property from £337 per property and a four-bedroom property from £472 per property. Extra bathrooms, extensive glazing or unusual room arrangements should be described individually. The bedroom label alone cannot communicate the full workload or the practical route through a furnished home. | List the actual spaces instead of assuming that all properties in one price category are identical. |
| Bedroom in a flatshare | From £99 per room. | Identify the selected bedroom and any separately requested shared areas; this category is not a whole-property handover price. |

Tenancy-cleaning questions before handover
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How should a balcony request be separated from interior rooms if the requested surfaces include differently positioned glass? | Describe the outdoor space and explain who controls access before asking for it to be assessed for inclusion. List the particular window faces requested for handover and explain the access available to each. An interior tenancy clean does not automatically provide authority to work on every external or communal surface. Exterior or shared-building glazing should remain a defined additional request rather than an assumed property-wide inclusion. |
| What oven information helps define the tenancy-cleaning request when adjacent surfaces need different care? | Provide the appliance type and accessible identifying details, together with the racks or other components requiring attention. Describe the individual finishes included in the handover rather than using one property-wide material label. A specific oven task is clearer than assuming every cooking appliance has the same configuration or workload. Cleaning suitability and existing wear should be considered against each finish in the agreed accommodation. |
| What should the cleaning completion discussion compare if people must pass through the cleaned rooms afterwards? | Review the work against the agreed handover areas and record any access or condition limitation affecting those tasks. Show the route needed for the final exit or remaining handover arrangements through the accommodation. The discussion should concern the defined cleaning service rather than certify every installation or guarantee an independent inspection outcome. Further movement should be discussed separately from the work completed, not hidden inside a checkout promise. |
| How should the essential handover tasks be separated from extra requests when the usable appointment window is restricted? | Identify the agreed accommodation and the cleaning concerns that matter most before listing optional treatment or additional outside areas. Give the admission and key-return times that actually apply to the accommodation being handed over. The quotation should distinguish those extras instead of treating every suggestion as part of one undefined handover service. A preferred checkout date does not itself establish unrestricted access or a guaranteed cleaning duration. |
| What should the written tenancy-cleaning specification make clear when plans and everyday room names do not match? | Identify the selected accommodation, requested interior tasks and separately assessed additions together with the practical admission and vacancy arrangements. Clarify how the inventory names correspond to the rooms actually being handed over at the property. A usable specification should explain the work rather than rely on an unrestricted phrase such as everything included. The clean should not count one space twice or miss a room hidden behind unfamiliar document wording. |
