Use this end of tenancy cleaning checklist to get your rented home ready for the check-out inspection and give yourself the best chance of getting your full deposit back. It’s based on what landlords and inventory clerks actually look at, and it’s the same list our own cleaners work through on every move-out clean.
Inventory clerks compare the property with the report made when you moved in. Cleaning is one of the most common reasons for deposit deductions, and most of it comes down to a handful of areas: the oven, the bathroom, the fridge and the bits nobody looks at day to day.
Carpets are one of the first things an inventory clerk checks. If they were professionally cleaned when you moved in, your tenancy agreement may ask for the same when you leave. A professional extraction clean lifts stains and dirt that vacuuming leaves behind. If the property is let furnished, check sofas and armchairs for marks too. See our professional carpet cleaning for prices.
A thorough move-out clean of a one-bedroom flat usually takes a professional team four to six hours, and it takes most people a full weekend. If you’d rather spend that time on the move, our end of tenancy cleaning in London covers every point on this list from £140. If your landlord or agent raises anything on our checklist, we come back and put it right free of charge.
After you’ve moved your belongings out and before the check-out inspection. Book early if you’re moving at the end of the month, as that’s the busiest time.
Yes. Some letting agents ask for proof of a professional clean, so keep your receipt with your tenancy paperwork.
It should be. Degreasing the oven, hob and extractor is part of our standard end of tenancy checklist. You can also book oven cleaning on its own.
