Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with your address, property type, number of rooms and preferred date. We ask a few straightforward questions about the condition of the property and any add-ons you might need. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with a breakdown of what is included.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most properties we carry out a quick virtual survey using photos or a short video call. For larger or unusual properties we may arrange a brief onsite visit. This helps us allocate the right size team and time, and flag any special requirements (for example, heavy limescale or pet odours) before the day.
3. Preparation Before We Arrive
We ask that the property is empty of personal belongings and rubbish, with fridge/freezer defrosted if internal cleaning is required. Keys can be handed to us directly, left with a concierge or collected from your agent. Once we arrive, we walk through the property, confirm the agreed tasks with you (or your representative), and then our trained team works systematically through each room.
Transparent Pricing Explained
We price end of tenancy cleans mainly by property size and condition, rather than by the hour, so you know the cost upfront. Typical factors that influence price include:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Presence of balconies or additional rooms
- Overall condition and level of soiling
- Required add-ons (e.g. carpet or upholstery cleaning)
You receive a fixed quote covering labour, equipment and products. If anything affects the price (for example, the property turns out to be significantly larger or more soiled than described), we will discuss it with you before starting, not afterwards. There are no hidden weekend or “Bermondsey postcode” surcharges.
Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Over DIY
End of tenancy cleaning is different from normal domestic cleaning. Inventory clerks check inside cupboards, behind appliances and above eye level. Attempting it yourself can be extremely time-consuming and still fall short of expected standards.
By using a professional service you benefit from:
- Experienced cleaners who know typical landlord and agency checklists
- Industrial-grade products and equipment that remove stubborn grease and limescale
- A systematic approach that covers details often overlooked in DIY cleans
- Reduced risk of deposit deductions related to cleanliness
- Time and stress saved during an already busy move
Insurance, Standards and Peace of Mind
We operate to clear professional standards, with full protection for your property:
- Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage while we work
- Goods in transit insurance for any of our equipment and materials brought through communal areas
- Fully insured status for all teams working on site
- Trained cleaners who follow structured checklists and safety procedures
If you or your agent notice any reasonable cleaning issues directly related to our work shortly after completion, we will return to address them where agreed. We aim for a straightforward, fair approach that keeps all parties satisfied.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat each property as if it were our own. Our cleaners use floor protectors where necessary, take care when moving light furniture and respect building rules, especially in blocks with shared access and concierge services.
Where effective, we choose low-odour, environmentally considerate products, and we avoid harsh chemicals unless they are genuinely needed for tasks such as heavy-scale removal. We also minimise unnecessary travel by planning our Bermondsey routes carefully and grouping nearby bookings where possible.
Additional Move-Related Cleaning Services
To support your move, we can combine end of tenancy cleaning with:
- Professional carpet cleaning (hot water extraction) for stained or heavily used carpets
- Upholstery cleaning for sofas, chairs and mattresses left in furnished properties
- After-builders cleaning if refurbishment or maintenance has just been completed
Let us know at the enquiry stage if you would like these services added to your booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Bermondsey cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size and condition of the property, as well as any add-ons needed such as carpet or upholstery cleaning. We usually work on a fixed-price basis for clarity, rather than hourly rates. When you contact us, we ask a few questions about the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, whether the property is furnished, and its general condition. Based on this we provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what you will pay before you book.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings in Bermondsey, particularly on weekdays. Availability is tighter at month-end and peak moving times, but we always do our best to help. If your check-out inspection is imminent, let us know the deadline and we will advise honestly whether we can meet it. In some cases, we may suggest a smaller team for a partial clean if time is very limited, and we will explain clearly what is realistic.
Are you insured if something gets damaged during cleaning?
Yes. We are fully insured with public liability cover in place for accidental damage while we work in your property. We also hold goods in transit insurance for our equipment as it passes through communal areas, which is often required in managed buildings. Our cleaners are trained to work carefully around delicate surfaces and fixtures, and incidents are rare. If anything does go wrong, we follow a clear reporting and resolution process so that issues are handled promptly and fairly.
What exactly is included in your end of tenancy cleaning service?
Our service is a comprehensive top-to-bottom clean covering kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas and hallways. This includes inside kitchen cupboards, appliances exteriors, internal windows, skirting boards, light switches, radiators and floors throughout. We work to detailed checklists based on local landlord and letting agent expectations. Items such as deep carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, external windows and wall washing are not included as standard but can often be added for an additional fee. We confirm the full scope in writing before the booking is finalised.
How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy clean?
Ideally, you should book as soon as your move-out date and check-out inspection are confirmed. One to two weeks’ notice gives the best choice of dates and times, especially towards the end of the month when demand in Bermondsey is highest. That said, we regularly handle last-minute requests and will always try to fit you in. The key is that the property should be empty of belongings and ready for cleaning on the day, so we can work thoroughly without delay.
