Who Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Service Is For
Renters and Tenants
If you are moving out, our service is designed to help you leave the property in the condition required to protect your deposit. We follow detailed room-by-room checklists and can provide a cleaning invoice for your records or for your landlord/agent.
Homeowners
Moving out of your own home and handing it to buyers or new tenants? A professional end of tenancy clean gives them a fresh start and can reduce disputes or snagging issues at handover.
Landlords and Letting Agents
We work with landlords and agents who want consistent, high-standard cleans between tenancies. We help minimise void periods by offering flexible appointments and clear communication, ensuring properties are ready for marketing photos and viewings as quickly as possible.
Businesses and Commercial Tenants
We also support small offices, studios and commercial units at the end of a lease. Our teams can clean carpets, kitchens, toilets and communal areas so you hand the premises back in a professionally presented condition.
Students
Student lets often have strict check-out requirements. We provide cost-effective, shared-property end of tenancy cleans for student houses and flats, helping you reduce the risk of deposit deductions for cleaning.

Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with the property size, number of bathrooms, flooring type and preferred dates. Based on this information and any specific requirements from your agent or landlord, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote. We outline exactly what is covered so you know what to expect on the day.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For straightforward properties, a virtual survey using photos or video is often sufficient. For larger or more complex homes, we may recommend a brief onsite visit. This allows us to assess the level of cleaning required, note any areas needing extra attention and confirm access and parking arrangements in St John’s Wood, which can be challenging on busy streets.
3. Preparation & Cleaning Day
Before we arrive, we ask that the property is emptied of personal belongings and rubbish where possible. On the day, our trained cleaners arrive with all necessary equipment and products. We work through each room systematically, cross-checking against our checklist and any agreed agent requirements. Once completed, we invite you (or your representative) to walk through the property with us, so any final touch-ups can be addressed immediately.
Transparent Pricing for End of Tenancy Cleaning
We price our end of tenancy cleaning in St John’s Wood based on the size, layout and condition of the property, plus any extras such as carpet cleaning. Our quotes are fixed for the agreed scope of work, so you know the cost before we start.
There are no hidden charges for standard cleaning tasks. Any additional services, such as cleaning appliances beyond the standard oven (e.g. American fridge freezers) or specialist stain treatments, will be discussed and priced clearly in advance. We can usually accommodate a range of budgets by adjusting the scope while still maintaining a professional standard.
Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Over DIY
Many tenants try to clean a property themselves, only to find that landlords and agents require a higher standard. A professional clean:
- Uses commercial-grade products and equipment for better results on ovens, limescale and carpets
- Follows comprehensive checklists aligned with typical inventory requirements
- Saves you time and stress during an already busy move
- Provides a professional invoice or receipt as proof of cleaning
- Reduces the risk of disputes and deposit deductions for cleaning issues
Because we work in St John’s Wood daily, we know the common standards expected by local managing agents and can focus on the details that matter most at check-out.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost in St John’s Wood?
The cost depends mainly on the size of the property, number of bathrooms and whether you need extras such as carpet or upholstery cleaning. As a guide, a small one-bedroom flat will be at the lower end of our pricing, while larger multi-bedroom homes will naturally cost more due to the extra time required. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a fixed quote for the agreed scope, so you know the exact price before booking with no hidden fees.
Can you do same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleans?
We understand that moves do not always go to plan, and urgent cleans are sometimes needed at short notice. Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or next-day appointments in St John’s Wood and nearby areas. Availability will depend on the size of the property and current bookings, so it is best to call us as soon as you know your dates. We always try to be flexible and may suggest alternative times or partial services if a full clean is not feasible that day.
Are you insured, and what does your insurance cover?
Yes, we are fully insured for your peace of mind. Our public liability cover protects against accidental damage or injury while we are working in your property. We also hold goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials when travelling to and from jobs. While incidents are rare due to our careful approach and staff training, having robust insurance in place ensures that any unlikely problems can be dealt with fairly and professionally, with clear processes to follow.
What exactly is included in an end of tenancy clean?
Our standard end of tenancy cleaning covers a thorough top-to-bottom clean of all rooms, including dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathroom and kitchen deep cleaning, internal windows, skirting boards, doors and light switches. We also include standard oven cleaning and cupboard interiors as part of the service. What is not included are external windows at height, rubbish removal, repair work, or specialist tasks such as pest control. If you need carpet cleaning or other add-ons, we can include these in your quote so everything is clearly set out in advance.
How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy clean?
To secure your ideal time, especially at month-end when many tenancies change over, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. That said, we know moves are often confirmed later than expected, so we always keep some flexibility in our diary. If your dates are not fixed yet, we can pencil in a provisional slot and adjust closer to the time. The key is to contact us as soon as you have an approximate moving date so we can plan around your check-out appointment.
