End of Tenancy Cleaning Services for Every Move
Whether you are handing back the keys, re-letting a flat or managing twenty checkouts a month, we have a service built around it. Pick the one that fits, or call us and we will point you to the right clean.
The basics
What Is End of Tenancy Cleaning?
End of tenancy cleaning, also called move out cleaning, end of lease cleaning or check out cleaning, is a thorough professional deep clean of a rented property carried out when a tenancy ends. Unlike a regular domestic clean, it covers every surface, fixture and appliance, from the inside of kitchen cupboards to the limescale on bathroom taps, so the property goes back in the condition it was let.
In London the bar is higher than almost anywhere else in the UK. Properties are inspected against a check-in inventory, often with photographs, and any shortfall in cleaning can lead to a deposit deduction. Cleaning is the single most common cause of deposit disputes in the UK, and the most preventable one.
Moving out is stressful enough. Packing, removals, utilities and a change of address all land in the same week, and leaving the property spotless enough to satisfy your landlord, agent and inventory clerk is one job too many. PureOrder takes that last job off your hands. From studios in Soho to five-bedroom houses in Wimbledon, we have helped London tenants recover their deposits without argument.
Why go professional
DIY Clean vs Regular Cleaner vs Professional End of Tenancy Clean
A weekend with a mop rarely survives a London checkout. Neither does a standard domestic cleaner who does not know what an inventory clerk looks for. Here is how the three options compare on the things that decide whether your deposit comes back.
| What the inspection checks | DIY clean | Regular cleaner | PureOrder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Works to a letting-agent checklist | No | Rarely | Yes, every job |
| Oven, hob and extractor degreased | Surface only | Usually extra | Included |
| Fridge, freezer and appliances inside | Often missed | Sometimes | Included |
| Limescale descaled in kitchen and bathroom | Hard to shift | Light clean | Included |
| Professional equipment and products | Your own | Varies | All supplied |
| Return visit if the agent flags an issue | No | Rarely | Free within 72 hours |
| Same-day availability | Yes | Unlikely | Often available |
Who we help
Move Out Cleaning for Tenants, Landlords and Letting Agents
Three very different jobs share one checklist. Here is what each of them gets from PureOrder.
Tenants Moving Out
Your landlord can deduct the cost of professional cleaning if the property is returned below the standard it was let in, and London agents are thorough about it. Booking PureOrder gets you a clean property, evidence of professional cleaning and a guarantee behind it, so you can focus on the move instead of spending your last days scrubbing an oven.

Landlords and Property Owners
Turning a property around quickly and to a lettable standard keeps void periods short and protects your investment. We work to short-notice turnarounds, get the home ready for viewings, photography and the next tenant, and can combine the clean with carpet cleaning in a single visit. Ask about volume rates for three or more units.
End of tenancy cleaning for landlords →
Letting Agents and Property Managers
We work with London letting agencies and property managers as a preferred cleaning supplier. We understand checkout and re-let timelines, keep standards consistent across property types, take multiple concurrent bookings, work to agency-specific checklists and provide written confirmation of cleaning for inventory and deposit dispute purposes.

Add-ons
Optional Add-On Services
The standard package covers everything a landlord or letting agent checks at inspection. For carpets, heavy soiling or extra requirements, these specialist add-ons can be combined with any booking at a discounted rate.
Professional Carpet Steam Cleaning
Hot water extraction removes deep-seated dirt, stains, allergens and pet odours from all carpet types, including stairs and landings. It is the method most carpet manufacturers recommend and is often required by letting agents after a pet tenancy.
Professional Oven Deep Clean
The oven is part of every standard kitchen clean. For heavily soiled ovens with built-up grease and carbon, our dedicated oven clean uses specialist solutions that break down stubborn residue without damaging enamel. Range cookers and Agas included.
Upholstery & Sofa Cleaning
If your tenancy included furniture, an upholstery clean may be required. Extraction machinery and specialist solutions lift stains, odours and soiling from sofas, armchairs, dining chairs and ottomans.
Mattress Deep Cleaning
Mattresses in furnished properties collect dust mites, allergens and odours over a tenancy. We use HEPA-filter equipment and antibacterial treatment to deep-clean and sanitise all mattress types.
External Window Cleaning
Internal windows are covered as standard. Where external windows are accessible and required by the landlord or tenancy agreement, we can add them on. Please confirm access when you book.
After-Builders Cleaning
If renovation or building work took place during the tenancy, a standard clean may not be enough. Our after-builders clean deals with plaster dust, paint splashes, adhesive residue and debris to return the property to a lettable standard.
Checkout hot spots
What Letting Agents and Inventory Clerks Check at Checkout
Most cleaning deductions come from the same handful of places. These are the areas an inventory clerk compares against the check-in report, and the ones our teams give extra time on every move out clean.
RE-CLEAN
Our Free Re-Clean Guarantee
If your landlord, letting agent or inventory clerk raises any cleaning concern within 72 hours of our service, we send a cleaner back to put it right at no cost. No call-out fee, no re-booking and no invoice. The guarantee covers every area within the original service scope.
Pricing
How Much Does End of Tenancy Cleaning Cost in London?
The cost of end of tenancy cleaning in London depends on the size and condition of your property and on any add-ons you need, such as carpet steam cleaning or a heavy oven clean. London rates typically sit 10 to 20 percent above the national average because of demand and the cost of working in the capital.
We do not charge by the hour in a way that lets costs spiral. You get a fixed quote based on your property before any work begins, and that quote is your price. If you are looking for affordable end of tenancy cleaning without the risk of a cheap job failing inspection, a fixed price with a re-clean guarantee is the safest way to buy it.
Property size
Studios and one-bed flats take less time than family houses. The number of bedrooms, bathrooms and reception rooms sets the base price.
Condition
A heavily used oven, built-up limescale or a long tenancy adds time. Tell us about it up front and it is built into your fixed quote.
Add-ons
Carpet, upholstery, mattress and external window cleaning are priced separately and discounted when combined with your end of tenancy clean.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About End of Tenancy Cleaning in London
How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost in London?
The cost depends on the size and condition of your property and whether you need add-ons such as carpet steam cleaning or a professional oven deep clean. London rates are typically 10 to 20 percent higher than the national average due to demand and the cost of operating in the capital. Contact PureOrder for a fixed, no-obligation quote with no hidden fees.
What does end of tenancy cleaning include?
A full deep clean of the whole property: the kitchen including oven, hob, extractor, fridge, freezer and all appliances, bathrooms including descaling and limescale removal, all bedrooms and living areas, hallways and stairs, internal windows, skirting boards, doors and frames, radiators, light fittings and all floors. The full room-by-room list is in our checklist above.
Is end of tenancy cleaning worth it?
For most London tenants, yes. If the property is not returned to the standard it was let in, your landlord can deduct the cost of cleaning from your deposit, and that deduction is often higher than the cost of booking a professional clean yourself. A professional clean also comes with a re-clean guarantee if the agent spots something.
How long does an end of tenancy clean take?
A studio or one-bedroom flat typically takes 3 to 5 hours. A two or three-bedroom property usually takes 5 to 8 hours. Larger homes or heavily soiled properties may need a full day with a team. We always complete the work within the timeframe agreed at booking.
Do I need to be present during the clean?
No. You are welcome to stay, but many clients hand over a key or arrange access and leave while we work. We are happy to lock up afterwards and arrange a key drop-off. All our cleaners are vetted, insured and trusted to work independently.
Do you bring your own equipment and cleaning products?
Yes. Our teams arrive with all the professional machinery, tools and products needed, including HEPA-filter vacuums, steam cleaners, professional degreasers and specialist descaling products. You do not need to provide anything.
What is your re-clean guarantee?
If your landlord or letting agent raises a cleaning concern within 72 hours of our service, we return and address that specific issue at no additional charge. No call-out fee and no re-booking process. The guarantee covers all areas within our original service scope.
What happens if the checkout inspection flags something?
Send us the agent’s or inventory clerk’s comments within 72 hours of the clean and we will arrange a return visit to put it right under our free re-clean guarantee. Issues outside cleaning, such as damage or missing items, are not covered.
Do you clean carpets as part of the standard end of tenancy clean?
The standard service includes full vacuuming of all carpeted areas. Professional carpet steam cleaning by hot water extraction is available as an add-on and is strongly recommended where carpets have not been professionally cleaned for over a year, or where pets have lived in the property. See our end of tenancy cleaning for pet owners.
Can I book same-day end of tenancy cleaning in London?
In many cases, yes. Our flexible scheduling can often accommodate same-day and next-day bookings across London, though availability varies by season and summer is especially busy. For urgent jobs, call 020 7164 0072 or see our same-day and emergency cleaning page.
What is the difference between end of tenancy cleaning and a deep clean?
A deep clean is a thorough clean of a lived-in home. End of tenancy cleaning is a deep clean of an empty or emptying property, carried out to a letting-agent checklist so it passes a checkout inspection against the inventory. It includes the insides of appliances and cupboards and comes with our re-clean guarantee.
Do you also offer move in cleaning?
Yes. If you are moving into a new rental or preparing a property for the next tenant, our move in and pre-tenancy cleaning service sanitises the home before you unpack.
Is end of tenancy cleaning legally required in the UK?
No law requires tenants to use a professional cleaning company, and the Tenant Fees Act 2019 stops landlords from making professional cleaning a mandatory contractual requirement. However, tenants must return the property in the same condition as when they moved in, fair wear and tear excepted. If it is not clean enough, the landlord can deduct cleaning costs from the deposit. Professional cleaning is the surest way to meet that obligation.
Will professional cleaning guarantee my full deposit back?
Professional cleaning removes cleaning as grounds for a deduction, which is the most common cause of disputes. It cannot cover pre-existing damage recorded in the check-in inventory, missing items or other damage. By using PureOrder you take cleaning out of the dispute altogether, and our 72-hour re-clean guarantee covers any cleaning concern raised after our visit.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking 3 to 7 days ahead to secure your preferred date. From June to September, when London sees its highest tenancy turnover, slots fill quickly and we may be booked one to two weeks ahead. If your move-out date is confirmed, book as soon as possible, and for urgent needs call us directly.
Do you offer discounts for landlords with multiple properties?
Yes. We offer volume rates for landlords, property managers and letting agents who need regular end of tenancy cleaning across several properties. Contact us to discuss a preferred supplier arrangement.
Do you clean both furnished and unfurnished properties?
Yes. In furnished properties we clean all furniture surfaces, the insides of wardrobes and drawers, and upholstery or mattresses as add-ons. In unfurnished properties we focus on all fixtures, fittings and built-in appliances.
Do you clean offices at the end of a lease?
Yes. For commercial units and offices, see our end of lease office cleaning service.

PureOrder covers all 32 London boroughs. See the areas section above, and if you are unsure, contact us. We almost certainly cover your postcode.
