Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or online form with details of the property: size, number of rooms, condition, parking and your move-out date. We’ll ask a few focused questions and, in most cases, can provide a clear, fixed quotation based on the information you share. For more complex jobs, we may ask for photos or short video clips to quote accurately.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger properties or where there are specific concerns (heavy staining, pets, long tenancies), we may carry out a quick virtual survey using photos or video call. Occasionally, we’ll visit in person if access allows. This step helps us plan the right team size, timing and equipment so the clean is completed to the standard you need, within the time available.

3. Preparation

Before we arrive, we ask that the property is emptied of personal belongings and rubbish as far as possible. On the day, our trained, professional cleaners walk through the property, confirm priorities with you or your agent if present, and protect any delicate areas as needed. We then carry out the clean systematically, room by room, following an agreed checklist. At the end, we complete a final check and, if requested, provide a completion note or invoice for your records.

Transparent Pricing for End of Tenancy Cleaning

We price our SE16 end of tenancy cleans by property size, layout and condition, not by vague hourly estimates. That means you know exactly what you’ll pay before we start, and what is included in that price.

• Studio and 1-bed flats – typically the lowest price range
• 2–3 bed flats and houses – mid-range pricing based on number of bathrooms
• Larger or heavily soiled properties – quoted individually after survey

Optional extras like carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning are itemised separately, so you can decide what’s essential for your situation and budget. There are no hidden charges for standard products, equipment or travel within SE16. Any potential extras, such as paid parking, are discussed in advance.

Why Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Beats DIY

It is tempting to clean the property yourself to save money, but in practice this often leads to missed areas and deposit disputes. As experienced, professional cleaners, we know exactly what landlords and agents look for during check-out inspections.

• We work with commercial-grade products and equipment that achieve better results than most domestic supplies.
• Our team follows structured checklists and quality checks, reducing the chance of missed spots.
• We are used to tackling limescale, grease and built-up dirt typical at the end of a long tenancy.
• You save valuable time and can focus on moving rather than scrubbing bathrooms late into the evening.

In many cases, using a professional service works out cheaper than a partial deposit deduction and re-clean charge from the landlord or agent.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings and the property itself are protected when you book with Carpet Cleaning SE16. We operate with full, up-to-date cover and well-trained staff.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers items we transport as part of a cleaning job (for example, rugs or removable items taken for specialist treatment).
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to the property or third-party claims while we are working on site.
• Trained cleaning teams – all staff are inducted in safe product use, correct cleaning methods for different surfaces, and health & safety.

We also follow industry best practice for risk assessments, COSHH compliance for cleaning chemicals, and secure handling of keys where we are asked to collect or drop them with agents.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every property as if it were our own. That means taking simple but important steps to avoid damage and reduce environmental impact.

• Using the right products for each surface to avoid scratching or dulling finishes.
• Colour-coded cloths and mops to minimise cross-contamination between kitchens and bathrooms.
• Where practical, using lower-impact or eco-friendly products, especially in homes with children or pets.
• Efficient use of water and chemicals to reduce waste without compromising cleaning standards.
• Careful handling of furniture and fixtures to prevent knocks or scuffs while we clean.

Our aim is to leave the property hygienic, fresh and ready for the next occupants, with minimal disruption to neighbours and the local environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does end of tenancy cleaning in SE16 cost?

The cost depends mainly on property size, number of bathrooms and overall condition. Smaller studio and one-bedroom flats are at the lower end, while larger homes or heavily soiled properties require more time and a bigger team. We provide a clear, fixed price once we know the details, and we itemise extras such as carpet or upholstery cleaning. There are no surprise charges for products or equipment, and any potential additional costs, like paid parking, are discussed with you before you confirm the booking.

Can you do same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleans?

We can often accommodate urgent or same-day requests in SE16, especially outside peak periods, but availability depends on our existing schedule. If you need a last-minute clean, call us as early as possible with your preferred time and property details. We’ll check our diary, suggest realistic options and prioritise key areas if time is tight. Where same-day service isn’t possible, we’ll offer the earliest alternative slot. There is sometimes a small surcharge for out-of-hours or very short-notice appointments.

Are you insured in case something gets damaged?

Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover and goods in transit insurance to protect both the property and any items we handle or transport as part of the service. Our cleaners are trained to work carefully and to use appropriate products for each surface, which keeps incidents rare. If something were to go wrong, we follow a clear reporting and resolution process and, where appropriate, work with our insurers to put matters right. Details of our cover can be provided on request for landlords or managing agents.

What exactly is included in your end of tenancy cleaning?

Our standard service includes a thorough clean of all internal rooms: dusting, wiping and disinfecting surfaces, cleaning skirting boards, doors and switches, internal window cleaning, full kitchen clean (including cupboards inside and out, oven, hob and extractor) and bathroom de-scaling and sanitising. Floors are vacuumed and mopped throughout. We do not remove rubbish or carry out repairs, and carpet or upholstery cleaning is an optional extra. Before you book, we run through a checklist so you know precisely what will be done and can add any extras you need.

How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy clean?

To secure your preferred date and time, especially around month-end, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. This is particularly important if you need the clean on the same day you move out or just before a scheduled inventory inspection. That said, we understand moves don’t always go to plan, so we keep some flexibility for short-notice bookings. If your dates are uncertain, we can pencil in a provisional slot and confirm once your move arrangements are finalised with your landlord or agent.
