Who Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Service Is For
Renters and Tenants
If you are moving out and want to maximise the chance of getting your deposit back, our service is designed for you. We clean to common inventory standards and focus on the high-risk areas that often cause deductions, such as kitchens, bathrooms, walls and floors.
Homeowners
If you are selling or moving out of your home, a professional clean presents the property at its best for buyers or new occupants. We can combine carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning with a full end of tenancy-style deep clean.
Landlords and Letting Agents
We work closely with landlords and agents in Shepherds Bush who need properties turned around quickly between tenants. Our team provides consistent standards, clear documentation on request, and reliable appointment keeping, helping you minimise void periods.
Businesses
For office and commercial tenants coming to the end of a lease, we offer tailored end of lease cleaning suitable for small offices, studios and retail units, focusing on floors, kitchens, WCs and communal areas.
Students
Student houses and flats often need a thorough clean at the end of the academic year. We are used to working with shared properties and can clean entire houses or individual rooms, depending on your arrangement.

Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or online with the basic details: property size, number of rooms, condition and your preferred dates. We will ask a few questions to understand your needs and any specific issues (such as heavy limescale or pet odours). Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included and any recommended add-ons such as carpet cleaning or oven cleaning.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most standard properties, we can quote accurately using a virtual survey – photos, videos or a brief video call. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend an onsite visit in Shepherds Bush to assess the work properly. This helps us allocate the right team size and time and ensures there are no surprises on the day.
3. Preparation Before Our Visit
To achieve the best results, we ask that the property is emptied of personal belongings and rubbish before we arrive, and that access and parking (where required) are arranged. Fridges and freezers should be emptied and defrosted if they are to be cleaned. On arrival, our professional team walks through the property, confirms the agreed work, and then starts cleaning systematically room by room.
Transparent Pricing – How We Charge
Our end of tenancy cleaning prices are based on:
- Property size (number of bedrooms and bathrooms)
- Overall condition and any heavy soiling
- Required add-ons (carpets, upholstery, oven, appliances)
- Access, parking and any special requirements
We typically provide a fixed price for the agreed scope, so you know the cost in advance. There are no hidden charges for standard materials or equipment. Any potential additional costs (for example, very heavy build-up or unforeseen issues) will always be discussed with you before work continues.
Why Use Professional End of Tenancy Cleaners Instead of DIY?
While it is possible to clean a property yourself, there are several advantages to hiring a professional team:
- We use commercial-grade products and equipment that achieve a deeper clean
- Our cleaners are trained to focus on the details often missed in DIY cleans
- We work to a proven checklist aligned with common inventory standards
- You save significant time and effort during an already stressful move
- Our work helps reduce the risk of cleaning-related deposit disputes
In many cases, the cost of professional cleaning is small compared with potential deductions for incomplete or substandard cleaning.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised professional standards. Our teams are:
- Fully insured, with public liability cover for your peace of mind
- Covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance when transporting our equipment
- Trained in safe product use, colour-coding and industry best practice
We maintain and regularly update risk assessments and method statements for our work. Our equipment is inspected regularly, and chemicals are used in line with manufacturers’ guidance and relevant regulations.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property as if it were our own. Our approach includes:
- Using appropriate protective pads and coverings where needed to avoid marking floors
- Choosing effective but responsible cleaning products, with eco-friendlier options where suitable
- Minimising water and chemical use without compromising results
- Ensuring waste is bagged and left neatly for your chosen disposal method
Where possible, we use concentrated products to reduce packaging and select microfibre systems that are durable and washable, reducing single-use materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost?
Pricing depends on the size and condition of the property, as well as any add-on services such as carpet cleaning or oven cleaning. As a guide, smaller one-bedroom flats in Shepherds Bush are usually at the lower end of our price range, while larger family homes cost more due to the extra time involved. We provide a clear, fixed quote once we know the details, so you know the total cost upfront with no hidden extras for standard materials or equipment.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?
We understand that moves do not always go to plan, and sometimes cleaning is needed at short notice. Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or next-day appointments in Shepherds Bush and nearby areas. Availability will depend on the time of year and the size of your property, so it is best to contact us as soon as you know your dates. Even when we cannot attend immediately, we will always try to offer the earliest realistic slot.
Are you insured while working in my property?
Yes. We are a fully insured cleaning company. Our cover includes public liability insurance while we are working in your property, providing protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage. Our equipment and materials are also covered by goods in transit insurance when being transported to and from your address. In addition, our cleaners are trained to work carefully and follow agreed procedures, which helps to minimise risk and ensures consistent standards.
What is included in your end of tenancy cleaning service?
Our standard service is a thorough top-to-bottom clean of the entire property, including dusting, wiping and polishing of surfaces; cleaning of skirting boards, doors and internal windows; deep cleaning of bathrooms and WCs; and full kitchen cleaning, including cupboards and worktops. Floors are vacuumed and mopped throughout. Optional extras include carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, oven cleaning and fridge/freezer cleaning. During quotation, we confirm exactly what is included so there is no uncertainty on the day.
How far in advance should I book?
To secure your preferred date and time, especially at busy periods such as month-end and during the summer, we recommend booking as soon as your moving date is confirmed. A week or two’s notice is ideal, but we do often accommodate shorter notice bookings in Shepherds Bush if our schedule allows. If your move date changes, let us know as early as possible and we will do our best to adjust the appointment without affecting your cleaning standards or overall plan.
Do I need to be present during the clean?
You do not have to be present for the entire duration of the clean, as long as we can gain access and you are reachable by phone if we need to clarify anything. Many clients meet us at the start to walk through the property and then return at the end for inspection. We are used to collecting keys from agents in Shepherds Bush by prior arrangement. Whatever you prefer, we will agree the approach in advance so the process stays straightforward.
