How much will I have to pay?

People living on a rent in the British Capital always ask themselves this question, when their contract is about to expire. As the tenancy comes to an end, it is time to leave but not before cleaning up the household.

Instead of getting the job done on their own, many prefer hiring a reliable company to spare themselves a serious amount of time and worries.

However, here comes the question of the day - How much would a proper service cost? In this case, there’s no straight, fixed answer simply because the entire matter depends on too many factors. As one of the top providers on the market in London, Royal Cleaning exists to serve the community, therefore we will give you a good and thorough explanation.

Now, let’s begin:

What is a professional cleaning in the first place?

Cleaning your own home and cleaning someone else's home professionally is a whole different game. If and when you hire us as a client, you pay for a truly Royal, luxury service and should expect nothing but the top-notch cleaning you deserve.

Why you need a professional end of tenancy cleaning?

According to the deposit protection scheme Mydeposits the general or professional cleaning is one of the leading reasons for deposit dispute between landlords and tenants. That’s why a thorough deep clean is the best way to avoid any reductions of your deposit refund.

Many landlords and estate agents require tenants to professionally clean the rented property before leaving it. It’s even common for them to request a receipt as evidence to show that the professional cleaning has taken place. Often there is an inventory clerks strict cleaning checklists, which we’re proud to fully cover.

If you’re a landlord:

You should ensure that your rental property is spotless for the arrival of each new tenant, actually, even the Housing Act states it. Plus you will be in a position to ask for a higher rent if your place is properly cleaned.

If you’re a tenant:

The professional end of tenancy cleaning is usually the only way to receive your security deposit back. As a tenant, it is your responsibility to leave the property in a clean and hygienic condition or in the exact way you’ve found it when moved in.

What factors determine the price of a professional end of tenancy cleaning?

1. Logically, first comes the size of the property.

   The larger it is, the higher the price would be.

2. The condition of the property is another key factor.

   This definitely doesn’t mean that we’re about to find any reason for extra charges. This point takes place in more extraordinary situations, that are simply not pleasant to be heard…

3. Any additional services mean additional taxes as well.

   Adding deep carpet and upholstery cleaning (with professional equipment, of course) to the deal is the most common example of this and is usually something you have to book separately. Remember that some companies can only clean the windows inside or have an extra fee for outside cleaning.

FAQ

Do I have to pay extra for any congestion charges, parking fees, cleaning detergents and gear?

The usage of professional cleaning equipment is part of the service. However, parking fees are not. Still, our quoted price includes all taxes and services. The only charges that might apply on top of the price, are congestion (if the site address is in London congestion charge area) or parking fees. If you are able to provide a free parking space for the cleaners, you will not pay anything in addition

Do I have to pay a deposit?

We prefer getting a bank transfer, before the cleaning session is about to start. The other 2 options are: Cash on arrival or Card payment (+ 3.4% card surcharge), before our cleaning session.

Do you have a cancellation fee?

We apply a cancellation fee only if the service is cancelled less than 48 hours prior to the scheduled time or if the customer fails to provide access to our team as previously arranged.

What are your working hours?

Our cleaners work 7 days a week and are very flexible. On weekdays we usually start at 8 with the later appointments beginning between 5 and 6 pm. Our weekend start time is 9 am and we work on Saturdays and Sundays, at no additional fee. Advance booking is rather recommended for you to get a time and date that suits you best.

What I won’t get when I book a move out cleaning service?

The professional post tenancy service does not include cleaning of walls, washing the exterior of windows or minor repairs and replacements.

How much can my landlord charge me for cleaning?

A landlord can charge you for the cost of cleaning alone. If your check-in inventory report states that the kitchen was spotlessly clean (previous tenants booked professional oven valeting), then you’re bound by the lease to restore its initial condition. The same applies to how your bathroom, bedroom, living room and etc. looked like prior to you moving in. Don’t worry. This is exactly why we provide such a comprehensive service.

Can I do it myself?

We would strongly advise against this one. As we’ve already said the professional cleaning is often a part of your signed Tenancy agreement. Plus we use professional grade chemicals and equipment, which is not available at the local supermarket.

Our Top Tips when you're about to choose an End of Tenancy Proffesional Cleaning Company:

1. Ensure that the company is indeed a professional cleaning company.

   Choose the one that has the expertise, equipment and chemicals to conduct a full professional end of tenancy cleaning. Even a short 5-minute conversation about how they will carry out the cleaning and their experience is enough.

2. Look out for customer reviews.

   The reputable companies will have reviews from independent third-party sites. Don’t fall for the reviews on their website alone, because the might have been written by the company itself.

3. Check if the cleaners are fully insured.

   This is a must so make sure you ask this question.

4. Ask if the prices include VAT.

   Some companies don’t include VAT in the pricing and the price you see isn’t the price you get. So ask if you don’t want unpleasant surprises afterwards.

5. Look out for the small print.

   You should always read the terms and conditions of the company you choose and check for any additional costs that might be added to the bill.

6. Ask for what exactly are you paying for.

   Finally, always check what is included at the end of tenancy cleaning, which the company offers and if you need any extras to that.






What should a proper end of tenancy cleaning include?

To be sure that everything is said and done, before moving out or relenting your property, we’ve made a detailed list for you to ensure that nothing is missed when our team leaves. We use the same when we do an end of tenancy cleaning. We had consultations with estate agents and inventory clerks to ensure the list meets their stringent cleaning requirements.
