Property size

The size of your flat or house as well as how many rooms you have will influence the cost of end of tenancy cleaning. To give you an idea of how much you can expect to pay based on the size of your house, here’s a rough idea:

Location

Where you live is an important factor in how much your end of tenancy cleaning service will cost. If you live in London, expect to pay more for the same service.

To give you a rough of idea of costs in the capital compared to elsewhere in the UK, here’s a price comparison for a standard end of tenancy clean for a two-bed flat:

Condition of the property

If you’ve kept your property spick and span throughout your tenancy with regular cleans, you’ll find that the cost of end of tenancy cleaning is going to be lower than if you’ve avoided cleaning at all costs for the duration of your stay. If your kitchen or bathroom has been untouched for a while, your end of tenancy cleaner might have to spend more time tackling tough dirt and stains, which will increase the cost. They don’t say time is money for nothing!

Additional services

Additional services which aren’t included in the basic end of tenancy cleaning package, like carpet cleaning, will increase the overall price.

How to save money on End of Tenancy Cleaning services:

Not all end of tenancy cleans need to burn a hole in your pocket. There are a number of ways to reduce costs:

• Don’t get every room cleaned - Bedrooms are easier to clean than bathrooms or kitchens, so if you tackle these yourself you can leave the hard work to the cleaners and keep down costs at the same time!

• Keep on top of regular cleaning - This is a big one. If you keep on top of cleaning your property on a regular basis, the cost of end of tenancy cleaning will be far cheaper as there will be less stubborn dirt and grime that has accumulated over time.

• Invest in a good end of tenancy cleaning service - Making sure your property gets cleaned to a high standard means you will avoid expensive deposit deductions later down the line, so it’s worth hiring someone trustworthy. Make sure you ask to see if they have testimonials and before and after photos of previous work.
