South London has one of the busiest rental markets in the capital, from converted Victorian flats in Clapham, Brixton and Balham to newer developments around Croydon, Kingston and the river at Battersea and Greenwich. That means a steady flow of check-outs every month, and most of them come with the same requirement: the property must go back in the condition recorded on the check-in inventory, allowing for fair wear and tear. An end of tenancy clean is a different job from a weekly clean. It is done on an empty property, priced as a fixed job by the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and covers the inside of the oven, fridge and cupboards, limescale in bathrooms, skirting boards, doors, internal windows and floors edge to edge. The cleaners listed on the pages below cover south London by borough and neighbourhood, so you can find someone who genuinely travels to your postcode, see what they include and what they charge where they have published it, and contact them directly to fix a date that lands before your check-out inspection.
What end of tenancy cleaning includes
A thorough clean of an empty property at the end of a tenancy, to the standard letting agents and landlords expect for deposit return: inside cupboards, appliances, limescale, skirting, windows inside, carpets hoovered.
Frequently asked questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost in London?
Prices are set by each business and usually depend on the number of bedrooms and bathrooms and whether carpet cleaning is included. Where a listed cleaner has published a from-price it is shown in the rates table on this page; always confirm the final price with them before booking.
Do I have to use a professional end of tenancy cleaner?
In England a landlord cannot force you to pay for a professional clean, but you must return the property in the same state of cleanliness recorded on the check-in inventory (allowing for fair wear and tear). Most tenants use a professional clean because deposit deductions for cleaning are the most common dispute.
How long does an end of tenancy clean take?
A one-bedroom flat typically takes a team of two around three to five hours; a three-bedroom house can take a full day. The property should be empty of your belongings before the cleaners arrive.
What if the letting agent is not happy with the clean?
Many businesses offer a re-clean guarantee (often 48 or 72 hours) if the agent raises specific issues after check-out. Ask about this when you book and keep the check-out report.
