Cleaning Up Before Christmas: A Guide From Professional Cleaners UK
Moving home and want to ensure your deposit is returned in full on your rental property? Or are you a landlord or estate agency looking to prepare a property for new tenants? If so look no further than our end-of-tenancy cleaning services.
End-of-tenancy cleaning is one of the most popular forms of cleaning that our professional teams carry out every day, with our cleaners working hard to return rental properties back to the required standards, carrying out whole house, flat, studio, deep cleaning and apartment cleaning. Our teams have been cleaning homes and flats at the end of tenancies for years, carrying this work out to the highest possible standards.
Our experienced cleaners work with our own end-of-tenancy cleaning plans and checklists. However, we can also follow cleaning inventories as specified by inventory clerks, landlords and letting agents, thus ensuring that we meet both our high standards and any bespoke requirements you may have. We can also bring our own cleaning equipment and products.
Therefore, you can rest assured that our fully trained and experienced teams will arrive fully equipped—with all the materials, equipment, and high-quality cleaning products and detergents—so that we can achieve the best results for you.
So, if you are looking for a professional end-of-tenancy cleaning service at the best prices, look no further than us.
Put simply, an end-of-tenancy clean is the thorough cleaning of a flat, house, studio, or apartment at the end of a tenant's stay at a premises, from top to bottom. The concept of an end-of-tenancy clean is that the home is returned to where it was initially found. This is obviously important for both landlords and tenants alike for the following reasons:
A landlord wants to see their property in a good state and return to a high "return standard" at the end of a tenancy (as is often outlined in letting agreements).
A tenant often invests in an end-of-tenancy clean to return a holding deposit, as a gesture of goodwill towards the landlord or new tenant, or because they would rather not carry out what can be a long and difficult clean themselves.
If you are moving home and need someone to take care of your cleaning, contact our teams. Let us help take some of the stress out of moving home.
Carrying out an end-of-tenancy clean is more complex than a standard domestic clean, and it is a form of deep cleaning. For this reason, it is important to hire experienced specialist teams who can carry out this job speedily, efficiently, and to a high standard. Sometimes, strong cleaning products and bleaches are needed in these deep cleans, and specialist equipment is also used to achieve industry-leading results. So, it is always best to leave it to a professional team to carry this out.
With all the end-of-tenancy cleaning jobs we carry out, we work to a standard checklist (which has developed over the years). We work through this as a matter of course, but we can, of course, add to this if you have any specific or bespoke jobs and deep cleaning. It is also advisable to inform us of any tricky areas or places in your home that you feel may need extra special and specific cleaning before our visit. Our cleaners always take pride in their work and we believe that any other local cleaning company or major national cleaning companies cannot match both efficiency and professionalism.
The main benefits of hiring an experienced professional end-of-tenancy cleaning service are:
High standards—The cleaning service is carried out professionally and to a high standard to help ensure the return of your rental deposit.
It is stress-free, as it removes the stress of having to carry out a deep end-of-lease clean yourself at an already busy time.
Saves you time - as mentioned, this type of cleaning is not only difficult, but cleaning a whole property from top to bottom takes hours.
It saves you money. We offer great prices for our high-quality work, and becauses the teams come prepared, you don't need to worry about buying products or hiring equipment. We believe the cost of our tenancy cleaning service is fantastic value for money.
Peace of mind—Our professional end-of-tenancy cleaning team is fully insured and vetted, so you can be confident that your property is in good hands. All areas (oven, sink, carpet, upholstery, etc.) will be treated with the correct products, increasing your chances of getting all of your deposit back!
Certified - presentation of a receipt of work proves that the work has been done to a high standard, and this can be presented to your landlord or letting agent.

There are lots of variables that affect the price of this type of cleaning; these are namely the below;
Size of property - obviously, the size of the property will impact the actual price of the clean. For example, a small one-bedroom flat will be cheaper than a large 5-bedroom house.
The number of cleaners and turn-around time - how quickly you want the job done. Sometimes if you are moving out the same day new tenants are moving in, you will need a number or team of experienced cleaners, you may also need them to work at tricky times (either early morning or late in the evening).
Specialist requirements: Most properties have the same standard requirements, but if you have specialist requirements - difficult high window cleaning, swimming pool, tricky areas, oven cleaning, deep end-of-tenancy carpet cleaning, etc.- we may need to hire specialist equipment. We can also offer professional carpet cleaning.

We offer cleaning for tenants and landlords in the public and private sectors and have carried out these jobs for years.
You’ll have no doubt be warned that you need to do as much as you can to hold onto your hefty security rental deposit and have it returned to you – and this includes making sure the property that you’ve rented is spick and span before the landlord comes in to carry out their final inspection. Whilst you’re entitled to a property to show reasonable ‘wear and tear’ from your time living there, it should be in the best possible shape for the final inspection to demonstrate to the landlord or management company just how responsible a tenant you’ve been. This will also increase your chances of a great reference from them in the future. We aim to give tenants the best chance of getting their deposit back.
Even if a tenant leaves your property in a good state, there’s no doubt that your new set of tenants will expect nothing less than perfection. In order to avoid delays in moving in and, therefore, delays in receiving rent, it’s the best policy to have everything checked over and cleaned by a professional cleaning team and, if required, a handyman to fix any broken elements. As well as offering full deep cleans, our teams at Professional Cleaners UK can also help shampoo carpets, clean outside areas, oven cleaning, washing machine cleaning, deep cleaning, take care of any light household duties, and give everything a thorough sanitation. Even new builds usually need a good checkover and scrub before they can be moved.
It’s also always worth getting professional cleaners and cleaning companies in before any photos are taken for property marketing and, ideally, before potential tenants are granted viewings to look around. The Professional Cleaners UK team can offer real flexibility with their visits – if you’d prefer them to do so overnight or during anti-social hours to avoid clashing with estate agents, property management teams, photographers and potential future tenants, that can be done at a mutually convenient time.
