What makes a tenancy cleaning service hard

Learn more about the service and why the tenancy cleaning cost might appear high.

Professional end of tenancy cleaning is much more than what you can achieve with your own detergents and equipment laying around (especially if your house has already been emptied for such a cleaning). The cleaning materials and cleaning equipment our tenancy cleaning teams use are high grade and can not be purchased from your local Tesco for example. That isn't the most important part of a tenancy cleaning service though.

What’s important is that most of the people who’d prefer to clean the house themselves would most likely miss a lot of crucial points and areas, which a professional cleaner would know to go over, as they posses a tenancy cleaning checklist, that is a guarantee for a professional job and a very deep cleaning. A poor cleaning, which is obviously not done by a professional is easy for an estate agent or a professional landlord to spot, because in 95% of the cases, it’s lacking attention to detail. This means you risk your security deposit, which obviously isn't ideal.

Rest assured, with our tenancy service your security deposit will be returned in full at a very reasonable price. Although people generally think - “I can do that better myself and save some money”, a cleaning of such a scale is hardly an easy thing to achieve.

The time it takes to complete a cleaning which can be compared to a professional service or at the very least a very thorough job, which might still miss some details, but could full some estate agents will easily go into 3-4 hours for a 2 bedroom rental property. If you include the necessity for professional carpet steam cleaning, it goes beyond that. Normally the cleaning of such rental property takes 2 professional cleaners approximately 3 hours, which means 6 hours go into the cleaning of a 2 bedroom property. You can imagine how much time you’ll be spending elbow greasing yourself and the end result might still be underwhelming to some estate agents.

New tenants will also be less then impressed and with a good reason. Certainly you'd want to move into a rented property which has gone through a professional deep cleaning.

What are your options if you decide not to have the property cleaned by a professional cleaning company.

One option that most people go for is letting the estate agency take care of it all, as this way the cleaning is guaranteed to be up to their standard and there’s nothing for you to do at all, you just hand over the keys and pay the invoice for the cleaning services done by the tenancy cleaners.

The downside of this approach is that most letting agencies would pay much more than what you would for the same tenancy clean. Generally speaking such agencies pay about 30-50% more for type of cleaning as you would if you book it yourself. After all, there’s work involved in negotiating with the cleaning company, letting the cleaning team once the tenancy cleaners arrive.

Picking the tenancy cleaning company is hard even for professionals, as they'd need to find an efficient service at a reasonable cost. Sometimes the tenancy cleaners that the estate agency works with might be unavailable and a new one needs to be booked in their place. The estate agents need to ensure the cleaning team does a fantastic job and that the new tenants are happy. It isn't that simple, which is why you as the previous tenant might be billed more for the time of the estate agents.

Additional information about the cleaning service

Landlords are obviously the people that benefit the most from a property they let out. Usually they already own the house or flat and they generate passive income from it (at least most of the times). That said, when a tenant moves out, there is a bit of work to do, which generally isn't great, especially if the property owner has a job or a business to run. If they haven't had new tenants in a while, finding a great tenancy cleaning company among all other cleaning companies available on the market is hard and time consuming.

Considering the average monthly rent in London is approximately 2000 pounds per month (for a 3 bedroom property), and most tenants sign a lease for at least 12 months, the income the landlord can expect varies, from 20 to 30 thousands pounds a year.

There is some work involved in maintaining the place, paying council taxes, etc, but those can be done online from home or the office. When it comes to the end of tenancy cleaning service though, it's not exactly the same. You need to vet the company and ideally get some more information about the tenancy cleaning team that is going to attend your rental property.

The service might require your presence there, although our company doesn't require this. We normally only need you to let the team once the tenancy cleaners arrive and that's it.

As for the information you'll be asked, you might expect question slike "how many cleaners" you think will be necessary, although we can give you an estimate about it once we learn more about the layout of the property and how big of a job we'll be taking on.

With an average end of tenancy cleaning price for a 3 bedroom property being around 200 pounds, that's merely 1% of your annual rental income (if that) and you save a lot of hassle, keep your peace of mind and normally, you don't even have to be present. Get the deep clean done by professional move out cleaners and take advantage of the free re clean we offer in the unlikely case our team doesn't do a great job and misses a spot.

Tenants are actually the type of client that we usually book the service for. The rent for properties in London has skyrocketed in the last 10 years or so, with more and more people moving in the city even with the news of Brexit. London is a place with endless opportunities, job openings everywhere, low unemployment rates, etc.

This is why literally milions of people live here and will continue to rent even with the price of rent being as high as it is. When you consider that the average security deposit is 1x or 1.5x the monthly rent, it's no wonder people dont't want to risk it though.

Having the property vacated, but leaving it in poor condition can cause a lot of issues for tenants and letting agents or landlords can cut a significant amount of it to keep their property it top-notch condition for the newcomers.

Investing in a professional cleaning that makes the place look amazing, almost brand new can significantly improve your chances of claiming the full amount back and if having the place cleaned professionally is all that's left to do we can guarantee you'll get your deposit in full. The median rent for a 3 bed house in London is 1800 pounds, while the average price for such a cleaning is just around 200(depending on the property type).

Letting agents and landlords will always think of themselves first, which leaves you in a vulnerably position upon checkout. Make sure you have the right cleaning company by your side, to secure your deposit back in full.

Letting Agents are also one of our targeted client groups. We are aware just how many properties go through their hands on a monthly basis around London and this is why we constantly work with letting agents around the city on cleaning properties they manage. The way you present a property can often lead to serious differences in the negotiated rent, which is basically a win-win situation for both the letting agent and the landlord. Obviously if a place looks great, smells fresh and has just been cleaned from top to bottom, this can mean a difference of 200-300 pounds even if the potential tenant is aware of the market situation in the area. People often spend more for things that simply look better and although renting a place in London is usually a step one doesn't take lightly, people are emotional beings that could pull the trigger on something that looks really appealing to them. For a small amount of about 200 pounds (often with additional discounts for regular clients), letting agents can easily double the investment with just one deal. We all know that letting agencies have plenty of business and there's no going around that, considering about half the population of London is paying rent and everyone is always striving for a better life and better conditions. If you are a letting agent or represent an agency, we'd love to discuss the opportunity of working together, so feel free to call us at 020 8050 2865 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We're always here to help!

Frequently asked questions about our tenancy cleaning services

Does the cleaning include carpet cleaning?

Normally the tenancy cleaners will only hover carpets, unless specifically instructed otherwise or unless professional carpet cleaning was booked. Carpet cleaning is only recommended.


Does it include upholstery cleaning of any kind?

Upholstery cleaning or a deep clean of upholstered furniture like armchairs, sofas or ottomans isn't a part of the checklist, but we could include this at a very reasonable discounted price.


How about professional oven cleaning?

Oven cleaning is only done on the external section of the oven and the same goes for other kitchen appliances like dishwasher, microwave, washing machine or others. A deep oven cleaning of a single oven normally costs 60 pounds, but if you book this as part of your end of tenancy cleaning, the price is reduced significantly.


Do you do window cleaning and more specifically external window cleaning?

We definitely do, but we only clean windows externally if they are reachable from the inside of the house as part of the end of tenancy clean. Our tenancy cleaning team does not come equipped with window cleaning extenders unless specifically booked in advance, so an exterior window cleaning is only done if certain conditions are met.


What do I need to do to prepare for the end of tenancy cleaning?

We need you to ensure there's a parking spot nearby the rental property or to pay any parking fees. Make sure you advise us in advance if carpet cleaning service is required, so we can make sure a professional carpet cleaning technician attends the property on the day of the tenancy clean.
