Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email, or online form with basic details: property size, number of rooms and bathrooms, location in Elephant and Castle, parking or access information, and your preferred dates. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining what is included and any optional extras such as oven or carpet cleaning.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most properties, a short virtual survey using photos or video call is sufficient. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend an onsite visit. The purpose is to assess condition, identify any heavy soiling, and confirm the correct team size and time needed. This ensures our quote is accurate and the team arrives fully prepared.
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 professional cleaners arrive within the agreed time window, carry out a brief walkthrough, and then work systematically through the property. We bring all products and equipment, protect surfaces where required, and complete a final check before leaving.
Transparent Pricing
We price end of tenancy cleaning based on the size and condition of the property, the number of rooms and bathrooms, and any additional services requested. Prices are given upfront, with no hidden charges for standard tasks.
Typical pricing is on a fixed-fee basis per property type (e.g. studio, one-bed, two-bed). Heavily soiled properties or those requiring extras such as professional carpet cleaning are quoted individually. We are always happy to explain how your price has been calculated and to adjust the scope to suit your budget where possible.
Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Over DIY
While it is possible to clean a property yourself, end of tenancy cleaning is held to a higher standard than everyday cleaning. Landlords and agents often have specific checklists, and missing details can lead to costly call-backs or deposit deductions.
Our trained teams use commercial-grade products and proven methods to remove limescale, grease and ingrained dirt more effectively than most off-the-shelf options. We work to a systematic process, saving you time during an already busy move. Most importantly, you have a clear record that a professional clean has been carried out, which can help if there are any disputes.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your property and belongings are protected throughout our visit. We operate with:
- Public liability cover for accidental damage to property or fixtures during our work.
- Goods in transit insurance where we are transporting our equipment or, by agreement, any items between locations.
- Trained cleaning teams who follow documented procedures, health and safety guidance, and use appropriate products for each surface.
All team members are vetted, supervised and supported with ongoing training. We work to consistent quality standards and welcome feedback so we can continually improve our service.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property with care, using protective materials where needed to avoid marking floors, walls or worktops. Our teams are trained to use the right products at the correct dilution to protect surfaces and finishes.
Where practical, we choose environmentally responsible products and methods, reducing unnecessary chemical use and waste. We avoid excessive water use and dispose of waste in line with local regulations. Our aim is to deliver a high standard of hygiene while minimising impact on the environment and on the indoor air quality for the next occupants.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost in Elephant and Castle?
Pricing depends mainly on the size and condition of the property and whether you need any extras such as carpet or oven cleaning. As a guide, smaller studios and one-bedroom flats are usually at the lower end of our price range, while larger multi-bedroom homes cost more due to the time and team size required. We always provide a clear, fixed quote before booking, explaining exactly what is included. There is no charge for quotations, and we are happy to talk through options to fit your budget.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?
We understand that moves do not always go to plan, and last-minute cleaning is sometimes necessary. Same-day or very short-notice appointments in Elephant and Castle are often possible, particularly on weekdays, but depend on team availability and the size of the job. The sooner you contact us, the better chance we have of arranging a suitable slot. For urgent bookings, we will ask a few quick questions about the property so we can confirm feasibility and provide a realistic time of arrival.
Are you insured while working in my property?
Yes, we are fully insured to work in residential and commercial properties. Our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to the premises or fixtures during cleaning. In addition, we hold goods in transit insurance in relation to our equipment and, by prior agreement, any items we may be moving. Although incidents are rare due to our careful working practices, having appropriate insurance in place gives both you and us added reassurance throughout the service.
What exactly is included in an end of tenancy clean?
An end of tenancy clean is a thorough deep clean of the interior of your property. This includes all rooms, surfaces, skirting boards, internal windows, sockets and switches, plus a detailed clean of the kitchen and bathrooms. We wipe cupboards inside and out, clean appliance exteriors, descale taps and tiles, and vacuum or mop all floors. The property should be left free of visible dust, grease and limescale. Certain tasks such as carpet steam cleaning, external windows and heavy oven cleaning are considered extras and can be added if required.
How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy cleaning?
Where possible, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly for weekends, month-end, and peak moving periods when demand is higher. Early booking gives you a wider choice of dates and ensures the clean can be scheduled after your belongings have been removed. However, we understand that circumstances change, and we will always do our best to accommodate shorter notice. If your check-out inspection date is fixed, please let us know so we can plan the clean accordingly.
