A move-out clean in London starts at £156 for a studio flat and is £425 for a four-bedroom house, with other layouts priced room by room on the call. The oven and carpets from your check-out list can go on the same booking.
The cleaner works to the list an inventory clerk checks at the end of a tenancy: inside every cupboard and drawer, the fridge and freezer, limescale on taps and shower screens, grease on the hob and the tiles behind it, skirting boards, door frames, light switches and the inside of the windows. Products and machines come with the cleaner. Your part is an empty home with the water, power and heating left on.
Boxes still stacked in a bedroom slow everything down, because the wardrobe, the drawers and the floor under the bed are the first places a clerk opens and looks.
End of tenancy prices by property size
Each price covers the rooms a home of that size normally has, listed below. A layout that does not fit, such as a two-bedroom flat with a second bathroom or a house with a loft room up an extra flight, gets a room-by-room figure when you ring.
| Studio flat: one main room with its kitchen area and bathroom | £156 |
| One bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom and hallway | £207 |
| Two bedrooms with one living room, kitchen, bathroom and hallway | £243 |
| Three bedrooms, a through lounge, bathroom, separate WC and one flight of stairs | £339 |
| Four bedrooms, a through lounge, two bathrooms, separate WC and one flight of stairs | £425 |
Where the cleaner has to park on the street or at a meter, that charge goes on the bill at what it cost, up to a ceiling of £40. Every other rate on the site sits on the prices page.
Adding the oven and carpets to the same visit
The oven is never part of the size price. On a move-out booking a single oven adds £31, and a double or 90cm range adds £62. That is less than a standalone oven clean, since the cleaner is in the kitchen anyway. Shelves, trays and runners soak in a tub while the inside walls, the glass and the rubber seal get worked by hand.
Carpets on the same booking come to £29 for each bedroom and £36 for the living room. They get hot water extraction from portable machines, one room at a time, after the dusting so nothing drops onto damp pile. Open a window or keep the radiators warm and the pile is dry within a few hours. Read your check-in inventory before deciding: the clerk compares the carpets with how that report describes them, so carpets recorded as clean at the start need to be handed back clean. Room prices for carpets on their own are on the carpet cleaning page.
If the clerk flags something the cleaner did
This is the only promise on the site, and it belongs to end of tenancy work. Should the inventory clerk or letting agent flag an item the cleaner covered, let us know inside 48 hours and we send a cleaner back to fix it. Send us the lines from the report, with the room and the item, so the cleaner knows where to start.
The return visit covers what was booked and cleaned. Fair wear and tear sits outside it, as do marks already noted at check-in, such as a scorch on a worktop or a stain set into a carpet. An oven or carpets left off the booking are outside it too. The simplest way to keep the report clean is to hold the check-out soon after the clean, before anyone carries boxes back through the hall.
Keys, access and the day of the clean
Nobody has to stay at the property. You can meet the cleaner and hand over the keys, leave them in a keysafe with the code given on the call, or ask the agent or a concierge to let the cleaner in. At the end the cleaner locks up and leaves the keys where you agreed.
A few jobs on your side make the day go better. Empty the fridge and turn the freezer off the evening before, so the ice has melted by the time the cleaner reaches the kitchen. Take the bin bags out. Keep water, electricity and heating connected: the cleaner runs machines off your sockets and needs hot taps, and damp carpets dry faster in a warm flat. On a prepayment meter, top it up first. If the street is residents-only, a visitor permit saves the parking charge, so mention it on the call.
Timing the clean around your move
Book the clean for after the removal van has gone and before the check-out, ideally on the morning of the check-out or the day before it. Tenancies often end on the last day of a month, so the final weekend tends to fill first; calling a week or two ahead gives you a choice of dates. We answer the phone from 8am to 7pm every day.
Half the price, paid up front by card or bank transfer, holds the booking. Cancel or move it at least 48 hours before the clean and that money is refunded or carried to the new date; any later and we keep £50. If the removals run late and the flat is still full when the cleaner arrives, call us straight away, since the clean cannot start properly until the rooms are clear.
Questions about end of tenancy cleaning
Is an end of tenancy clean the same as a deep clean?
Move-out work is priced by property size and is done in an empty home against the check-out list. A deep clean is charged by the hour for a lived-in home that has fallen behind, with the furniture and belongings still in place. Moving into a flat the last tenant left dirty is usually a deep clean.
Do landlords book this between tenancies?
Yes. The size prices are the same whoever books, and the keys can come from the agent’s office or a keysafe at the property. Tell us the date the new tenant’s check-in is booked, so the clean lands as close to it as possible.
Can the flat be cleaned while my things are still in it?
The cleaner can work around a few boxes, but wardrobes, kitchen cupboards and the floor under the bed can only be cleaned once they are empty. Those are the places a clerk checks first, so the end of tenancy clean works best after the removal.
