Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning You Can Rely On

Our move out cleans are carried out by trained, experienced teams using professional products and equipment. We work to detailed checklists based on years of dealing with local estate and letting agents, so nothing important is missed. From limescale in the bathroom to greasy ovens and marked skirting boards, we tackle the areas that are most commonly flagged during inspections.

Every job is covered by our public liability cover and goods in transit insurance for any equipment we bring onto site. We turn up when we say we will, stay until the agreed work is complete, and leave the property ready for viewings or handover.

Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or via our website. We’ll ask a few questions about the size of the property, number of rooms, flooring types and any specific requirements from your landlord or agent. Based on this, we provide a clear, fixed quotation with no hidden extras, along with a proposed date and time.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most standard flats and houses in Pimlico, a virtual survey using photos or a short video is sufficient. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend a brief onsite visit. This allows us to confirm condition, identify any heavily soiled areas, and check access and parking so the team can arrive prepared.

3. Preparation

Before we attend, we ask that the property is emptied of personal belongings and rubbish wherever possible. On the day, our trained team arrives with all necessary materials and equipment. We walk through the property, confirm the agreed scope, protect flooring where needed, and then work methodically through each room, finishing with a final check before we leave.

Transparent Pricing and How We Charge

We believe in straightforward pricing based primarily on the size and condition of the property, not on how long the job takes. Factors that influence the price include:

• Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
• Whether carpet or upholstery cleaning is required
• Property condition and heavy soiling (e.g. after long tenancies or pets)
• Parking or access challenges

We agree the cost with you in writing before work starts. If we spot something on arrival that could affect the price, we’ll discuss it with you first and only proceed with your approval.

Why Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Beats DIY

Attempting a full end of tenancy clean yourself is time‑consuming and physically demanding, especially when you’re juggling moving logistics. Our professional cleaners know where agents and landlords look first, the products that deal effectively with limescale, grease and traffic marks, and how to work systematically so nothing is missed.

DIY cleaning often struggles with ovens, bathrooms and carpets, leading to follow‑up cleaning charges or deductions from your deposit. With professional equipment and experience in Pimlico properties, we can achieve a deeper, more consistent finish in less time, helping protect your finances and your relationship with your landlord or buyer.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your property and belongings are protected while we work. We carry:

• Public liability cover – for accidental damage to your property while we are on site.
• Goods in transit insurance – covering our equipment and products while being transported to and from your property.

All cleaners are trained in safe product use, colour-coding, and correct cleaning methods for different surfaces. Risk assessments and method statements are available for commercial clients on request. We keep up to date with industry guidelines and local expectations to maintain consistently high standards.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to balance effectiveness with responsibility. Wherever suitable, we use low‑odour, environmentally considerate products, especially in homes with children or pets. Surfaces are always checked before using stronger chemicals, and we follow manufacturer guidance for carpets and delicate finishes.

We minimise waste by using reusable cloths and mop systems and by carefully measuring products to avoid overuse. Floors and vulnerable surfaces are protected where necessary to prevent scuffs, and we ventilate rooms properly so the property feels fresh rather than heavily perfumed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Pimlico cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size and condition of your property, plus any extras such as carpet or upholstery cleaning. As a rough guide, a small one‑bedroom flat will cost less than a larger multi‑bedroom house, and heavily soiled properties may require extra time. We provide a fixed price once we know the details, so you’ll always know the cost before we start. There are no hidden charges for standard products or equipment, and any optional add‑ons are itemised clearly.

Can you provide same‑day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we do offer same‑day or next‑day appointments in Pimlico, particularly outside of the busiest moving periods. If you need an urgent clean, contact us as early as possible with your preferred times and key collection arrangements. We’ll let you know what is realistically achievable and confirm in writing if we can meet your deadline. While we can’t guarantee last‑minute slots every day, being based locally means we can often be more flexible than larger, non‑local firms.

Are you insured while working in my property?

Yes. We hold comprehensive public liability cover for any accidental damage to your property while we are working, along with goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials. Copies of our insurance certificates can be provided on request, which is particularly useful for landlords, agents and commercial clients. We also train our teams carefully in safe working practices to minimise the risk of incidents in the first place, from handling equipment on stairs to using appropriate products on delicate surfaces.

What exactly is included in your end of tenancy clean?

Our standard service is a thorough deep clean of all accessible areas inside the property. This includes kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, bedrooms, hallways and internal glass. We wipe surfaces, skirting, switches, doors and frames; clean sanitaryware and tiles; degrease kitchen surfaces and appliance exteriors; and vacuum and mop floors. Inside cupboards and drawers are cleaned if they are empty. Items such as full oven strip‑downs, external windows or rubbish removal are not included unless specifically quoted as extras.

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

To secure your preferred date and time, especially at month‑end or during peak moving seasons, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. That said, we understand that completion dates and checkout appointments can change, so we do our best to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. If you already know your inventory or key handover date, it’s wise to book as soon as that is confirmed so we can plan enough time to complete the clean properly.

Do I need to be present during the cleaning?

No, you don’t have to be at the property while we work, as long as we have agreed arrangements for access and locking up afterwards. Many tenants and landlords prefer to provide keys via their Pimlico letting agent or meet us briefly at the start and end. We’ll conduct a final walkthrough where possible, or send confirmation that the work is complete. We simply ask that the property is largely empty of personal belongings and rubbish so we can clean all the necessary areas effectively.
