Start from the inventory and handback standard

An end-of-tenancy clean is easier to define when the check-in inventory, check-out instructions or agent checklist is available. Send the property size, room list, furnished status and the standard recorded at the start of the tenancy. A generic “deep clean everything” request leaves important exclusions unresolved. We translate the supplied checklist into an accepted cleaning scope; the landlord, agent or deposit scheme still decides any later handback dispute.

A cleaning booking cannot guarantee deposit return

Deposit decisions can involve condition, damage, missing items, rent and evidence beyond cleaning. We therefore do not advertise a deposit-return guarantee. In England, current government guidance distinguishes prohibited mandatory service payments from evidence-based deductions and tenant choices. The practical cleaning objective is to address the agreed checklist and record scope completion, not to promise a legal or deposit outcome that belongs to other parties.

Room-by-room scope and condition notes

List bedrooms, bathrooms, reception rooms, kitchen, utility spaces, internal cupboards and accessible circulation areas. Flag heavy grease, limescale, pet hair, smoke residue, mould-like marks, adhesive or post-works dust with photographs. Cleaning can remove suitable surface soils; it does not repair failed sealant, damaged paint, worn flooring or defective appliances. Those condition boundaries should be visible before a visit is accepted.

Ovens, carpets, upholstery and windows

Oven cleaning, carpet extraction, upholstery, curtains, blinds and external or high-level glazing should not be assumed from the phrase “end of tenancy.” State which items the checklist requires and whether specialist equipment or drying time is needed. For furnished homes, include the number and material of upholstered pieces. The quote should name included appliances and surfaces so the final inspection is against a shared list rather than memory.

Empty, furnished or still occupied

An empty property allows access to floors, cupboards and fittings that possessions can obstruct. If removal, packing or contractor work is still under way, explain the sequence and which rooms will be clear. Cleaning before dusty repairs finish can create immediate rework. Keys, utilities, hot water, lighting and safe appliance access need to remain available for the agreed visit; waste removal and item disposal are separate unless expressly accepted.

Agent, landlord and inventory-clerk coordination

Provide the inspection date, key handover time and a contact who can answer scope questions. If an agent requires a named checklist or evidence format, attach it before quoting. Same-day cleaning and check-out leave little room for access delays, drying or approved corrections, so timing should be realistic. We can report against the accepted cleaning list, but we do not represent the inventory clerk or decide what counts as fair wear and tear.

Access in mansion blocks and managed buildings

Porter hours, lift booking, parking, key collection and waste rules can materially affect a move-out clean. State the floor, lift availability, loading route and whether the building requires contractor sign-in. If cleaners cannot enter at the agreed time or utilities have been disconnected, the planned scope may not be deliverable. Those operational facts are confirmed before the visit rather than hidden inside a flat postcode rate.

Pricing and the completion record

Price depends on size, furnishing, condition, requested extras, access and the time available before handover. The written scope should list rooms, appliances, specialist items and exclusions. At completion, record any inaccessible, unsafe, damaged or out-of-scope item promptly, with photographs where appropriate and permitted. Smaller accepted jobs are paid by bank transfer after completion; the website does not publish a deposit promise or one-price package for every property.
