Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details: property size, number of bathrooms, flooring type and any extras required. We provide a clear, itemised quotation with no hidden fees. Prices are based on the property size and condition, not just time on site, so you know exactly what is covered.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger properties or where the condition is uncertain, we may carry out a quick virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to confirm the scope of work, highlight any heavy staining or damage, and recommend optional extras such as carpet cleaning. It ensures that the team arrive fully prepared with the right equipment and products.
3. Preparation & Cleaning Day
On the day, our trained cleaners arrive at the agreed time. We ask that the property is unfurnished or mostly empty and that any personal belongings and rubbish are removed beforehand. We then work methodically through a detailed checklist, room by room, giving particular attention to kitchens and bathrooms where most end-of-tenancy issues arise. Before leaving, the supervisor carries out a final walk-through to ensure everything meets our standards.
Transparent Pricing
Our pricing is straightforward and competitive for the Wandsworth area. Typical costs are based on the size and layout of the property – for example, studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and so on – with clear rates for optional add-ons such as professional carpet cleaning or oven deep cleaning. We do not add weekend or agency surcharges without prior agreement.
All quotes are provided in writing and include labour, standard materials and equipment. If we believe a property requires extra time due to heavy soiling, we will explain this upfront so you can make an informed decision.
Why Use Professional End of Tenancy Cleaners Instead of DIY?
End of tenancy cleaning is very different from a normal weekly clean. Inventory reports are often detailed, and minor oversights can lead to deposit deductions or delays in re-letting. Our professional cleaners:
- Follow comprehensive checklists aligned with typical letting agent expectations
- Use commercial-grade products and equipment suitable for heavy limescale, grease and traffic wear
- Work efficiently as a team, often completing in hours what might take you days
- Know the common areas that are most closely inspected, such as oven interiors, behind appliances and shower screens
Choosing a professional service saves time, reduces stress around move-out day and gives a more consistent result than DIY cleaning under pressure.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Wandsworth Cleaners operates to high standards of safety and professionalism. We are:
- Fully insured with public liability cover for work carried out in your property
- Covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance when transporting our equipment and materials
- Staffed by trained cleaning teams who understand correct product use, surface care and health & safety
Our cleaners are briefed on each property in advance and follow agreed risk assessments where needed, for example in blocks with shared access or limited parking.
Care, Protection & Sustainability
We treat every property as if it were our own. Floors and surfaces are protected where necessary, and we take care around delicate finishes such as natural stone, wooden worktops and high-gloss units. Where practical, we use low-odour, eco-conscious products that are effective yet safer for people and pets.
We minimise waste by using refillable containers, microfibre systems and durable equipment. When we identify maintenance issues such as mould patches or damaged sealant, we will note them so you can address them separately with your landlord, tenant or managing agent.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost?
Costs vary depending on the size and condition of the property, plus any extras such as carpet or upholstery cleaning. We usually price by property type (for example, studio, one-bed, two-bed) with clear, fixed rates for standard work. If the property is heavily soiled or has additional rooms such as studies or utility areas, we will explain any additional costs before you book. All quotes are free, with no obligation, and we are happy to provide prices by phone, email or after a brief survey.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?
We understand that move-out dates and inspections can change at short notice. Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or next-day appointments in Wandsworth and nearby areas. Availability is better on weekdays and outside peak moving periods at the end of the month. If you need urgent cleaning, contact us as early as possible with your preferred times and property details, and we will do our best to accommodate you or offer the nearest alternative slot.
Are you insured if something is damaged during cleaning?
Yes. We are fully insured with public liability cover to protect against accidental damage while we are working in your property. Our vehicles and equipment are also covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance. Our teams are trained to handle items carefully and to use the correct products for each surface, which significantly reduces risk. In the unlikely event that something does go wrong, we will report it immediately and work with you to resolve it properly through our insurance where necessary.
What exactly is included in an end of tenancy clean?
A standard end of tenancy clean covers all main rooms, including kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas and hallways. We clean surfaces, cupboards (usually inside and out), appliances externally, sinks, taps, tiles, skirting boards and internal windows. Floors are vacuumed and mopped as appropriate. Extras such as oven deep cleaning, professional carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning are available at additional cost. We follow a detailed checklist, which we can share in advance, so you know exactly what will be done in each room before we start.
How far in advance should I book?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you know your move-out date or check-out inspection. One to two weeks’ notice normally gives the best choice of times, especially for larger properties or Friday and weekend appointments. However, we do keep some flexibility for last-minute jobs when possible. If your dates are not yet confirmed, we can hold a provisional slot and adjust once your tenancy end is finalised, subject to availability.
