To understand why you should book our professional cleaning service, first let us explain what an end of tenancy clean is.

What is an end of tenancy clean?

An end of tenancy clean is a thorough deep clean of a property in readiness for the next tenant or owner. End of tenancy cleans are also referred to as post let cleans, or prelet cleans or moving out or moving in cleans. This is all the same thing. You could be buying your new home and may want an end of tenancy type of clean to make sure that the property is in pristine clean condition when you move in.

Now we are not talking a quick vacuum and mop, not at all! Most people think they can get away with a superficial clean but in our experience this is a recipe for losing a good chunk of your rental deposit. Why you may ask? This is because the clean you may perform is likely not to be thorough enough. Yes, the property may be domestically clean but not professionally clean.

A lot of tenants are often perplexed when they fail their inventory checks because as far as they can see the property is clean. However, inventory clerks are rigorous and will be looking out for limescale on taps, dust on lights and above door frames, grease in ovens, bits of food in cupboard drawers, marks on radiators etc. In fact it is a long list that only professional cleaners like us are able to look out for. The things that fail inventory checks are not necessarily big things that jump at you when you stand on the door. They are often small things that most ordinary people will overlook. It is for this reason that we strongly encourage that you choose professional moving house cleans to be in with a good chance of getting your rental deposit back.

We stand by our work and guarantee to redo should the inventory pick up on anything. So really it is a no brainer if you want a smooth house move with no squabbles over cleanliness of the property.

Below we provide a sneak preview into what our end of tenancy cleaning tasks include but this is by no means exhaustive. We provide another detailed list end of tenancy cleaning checklist here.

Quick Answers: End of Tenancy Cleaning Explained

Does End of Tenancy Cleaning Include Oven and Carpet Cleaning

Yes. Our full end of tenancy cleaning service includes professional oven valeting and carpet steam cleaning as standard. These are common inventory check failure points, which is why we offer a full package as needed. This means you do not need to arrange a separate oven or carpet cleaner, all work can be done in a single visit. Be sure to choose a full clean at booking.

How is an end of tenancy clean different from a normal domestic clean?

An end of tenancy clean focuses on areas checked during inventory inspections, such as limescale on taps, grease inside ovens, dust on door frames and light fittings, and marks on radiators. A standard domestic clean does not usually cover these in the same depth.

Will my landlord or letting agent accept this clean?

In most cases, yes. Our cleans are carried out to inventory standards and are regularly used by tenants, landlords, and letting agents across areas such as St Albans and Harpenden. If an inventory clerk raises any issues, we offer free corrections where required.

Do I need flea treatment at the end of a tenancy if I’ve had pets?

If you have kept pets in the property, many landlords and letting agents require a professional flea treatment at the end of the tenancy. This is often written into the tenancy agreement to prevent infestation for the next occupants. Flea treatment is not included as standard with end of tenancy cleaning, but we can arrange professional flea treatment alongside your clean if required.

How long does an end of tenancy clean take?

Most end of tenancy cleans take between 3 to 7 hours, depending on property size, number of cleaners as well as property condition. We send at least two cleaners so the job is completed efficiently and to a professional standard.

Do I legally need professional end of tenancy cleaning?

Professional cleaning is not legally required, but tenants must return the property in the same condition as at check-in (allowing for fair wear and tear). If cleaning standards are not met, landlords can deduct cleaning costs from the deposit.
