Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details: property type, number of rooms, current condition and your move-out date. We provide a clear, itemised quote based on the information you share. Where carpets or upholstery need specialist cleaning, we will list these as separate line items so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most properties, a short virtual survey (photos or video) is enough to confirm the quote. For larger or more complex properties, we may offer an onsite visit. During the survey we look for heavy staining, limescale build-up, pet issues or damage that may require extra time or products, and we agree expectations before booking you in.
3. Preparation
We ask that the property is mostly empty before we arrive, with personal items and rubbish removed. Our team arrives with all equipment, solutions and protective materials. We walk through the property with you (or your representative) to note any particular concerns, then work systematically from top to bottom. At the end, we invite you to inspect the property before we leave.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We price our end of tenancy cleaning in Streatham primarily by property size, room count and condition, not by the hour. This means you receive a fixed quotation upfront for the agreed scope of work.
- Studio and one-bed flats typically cost less and can often be completed within half a day.
- Larger houses and HMOs require more time and may need multiple technicians.
- Optional carpet and upholstery cleaning is priced per room or per item.
Any potential extra charges (for extreme conditions or heavy staining) are discussed in advance, not added without consent. You receive a detailed invoice, which many tenants use as proof of professional cleaning for their letting agent.
Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Instead of DIY
Attempting end of tenancy cleaning yourself can be time-consuming and stressful, especially around a move. Professional cleaning brings several advantages:
- We use professional-grade equipment and solutions that achieve deeper results than most domestic products.
- Our cleaners follow structured checklists tailored to landlord and agent expectations.
- We understand common inspection ‘hot spots’: oven interiors, limescale, skirting boards, behind appliances.
- Our trained technicians know how to treat different surfaces safely, reducing the risk of damage.
- You save hours of labour at a time when you are already busy with moving logistics.
In many cases, a professional end of tenancy clean works out cheaper than losing part of your deposit or replacing damaged carpets through incorrect DIY cleaning.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Streatham Carpet Cleaners operates to high professional standards for your peace of mind:
- Public liability cover – protects you and your property should an accident occur while we are working.
- Goods in transit insurance – where we remove or transport items such as rugs or loose carpets for offsite cleaning.
- Fully insured technicians – all cleaners are covered while working in your home or business.
- Trained cleaning teams – staff receive ongoing training in cleaning methods, product safety and customer care.
We work respectfully in your property, clearly label any areas that may need landlord attention, and always aim to leave the property ready for the next occupant.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care to protect both your property and the wider environment:
- Use of suitable pads, corner protectors and dust sheets where required.
- Non-abrasive products on delicate surfaces such as stone, ceramic hobs and chrome.
- Preference for low-VOC, effective cleaning products where possible.
- Measured chemical use to avoid over-application and waste.
- Efficient route planning for our teams to reduce unnecessary travel.
Our aim is to deliver a thorough, hygienic finish while treating your property and belongings with respect.
Local Expertise in Streatham
Based in Streatham, we know the local property stock well – from Victorian terraces and maisonettes to modern apartment blocks and HMOs. We are familiar with the standards expected by local landlords and agents, and we understand the common issues in older properties, such as heavy limescale, traffic marks on carpets and worn paintwork.
Because we are local, we can often accommodate short-notice bookings in and around Streatham, subject to availability, especially during peak moving periods.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Streatham cost?
Costs depend on the size, layout and condition of the property, plus whether you require additional services such as carpet cleaning. A small studio or one-bed flat will typically be at the lower end of our pricing, while larger family homes or HMOs require more time and therefore cost more. We always provide a fixed quote in advance based on your property details, so you know the total before we start. There are no hidden fees; any potential extras are discussed with you first.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?
We can often arrange same-day or urgent cleans in Streatham, particularly outside the busiest moving periods. Availability depends on our schedule and the size of the property, so it is best to contact us as soon as you know your move-out date. For very urgent requests, we may prioritise essential areas first, with additional work completed later if needed. We will always be honest about what can be achieved within your timescale and agree this clearly before confirming your booking.
Are you insured while working in my property?
Yes. Streatham Carpet Cleaners is fully insured for the work we carry out. We hold public liability cover to protect you and your property while our team is on-site. Where we remove or transport items such as rugs, we also have goods in transit insurance. Our staff are trained in safe working practices and the correct use of cleaning products, reducing the risk of damage. If you require proof of insurance for your landlord or managing agent, we are happy to provide documentation on request.
What exactly is included in an end of tenancy clean?
Our end of tenancy cleans are designed to meet typical landlord and letting agent expectations. They include a thorough clean of all accessible surfaces, skirting boards, internal windows, doors, switches and floors throughout the property. Kitchens receive detailed attention to cupboards, worktops, sinks, oven, hob and extractor. Bathrooms are descaled and sanitised, including tiles, screens and fittings. Standard vacuuming and mopping are included. Additional services such as carpet or upholstery cleaning, external windows or rubbish removal can be added if required and will be listed separately on your quote.
How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy clean?
Where possible, we recommend booking 1–2 weeks before your move-out date, especially during peak periods such as the end of the month or student changeovers. This gives us time to arrange a survey if needed and reserve a suitable time slot. However, we understand that plans can change, and we do our best to accommodate late bookings. If your dates are not yet fixed, we can pencil in a provisional slot and confirm once your check-out time is agreed with your landlord or agent.
