End of Tenancy Cleaning Guides
What Is the UK Price for End of Tenancy Cleaning?
End of tenancy cleaning prices vary a lot depending on who you ask — quotes across London commonly range from £150 to £500 depending on property size and condition. Here's what actually drives the price, what the London market looks like in 2026, and how our fixed prices compare.
What does end of tenancy cleaning actually cover?
Most tenancy agreements require the property to be returned "professionally cleaned" or in the same condition it was in at check-in, allowing for fair wear and tear. A proper end of tenancy clean goes well beyond a normal weekly clean — it covers appliance interiors, limescale, grout, skirting boards, inside cupboards, and every surface an inventory clerk is likely to check.
You're not legally required to hire a professional service — but doing the job yourself takes significantly longer than a routine clean, and getting it wrong is the single biggest cause of deposit deductions in the UK.
What affects the price
Property size
The biggest factor by far. Price scales with the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, since kitchens and bathrooms take the most time to clean properly.
Current condition
A property that's been kept reasonably clean throughout the tenancy costs less than one with years of built-up oven grease, limescale or neglected grout. Heavier build-up simply takes longer to clean.
Add-on services
Carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning and mattress cleaning are usually priced separately from the core clean, since they need different equipment.
Location
Where you're based matters too. Central and inner London postcodes generally cost more than outer boroughs, partly down to travel time and parking, and partly because hard water across much of the capital means extra time spent descaling taps, screens and tiles.
What London cleaning companies are charging in 2026
Prices vary between providers, but based on current London market rates, here's roughly what you can expect to pay elsewhere:
| Property Size | Typical London Market Price |
|---|---|
| Studio | £150 – £270 |
| 1 Bedroom | £200 – £300 |
| 2 Bedroom | £250 – £350 |
| 3 Bedroom | £320 – £450 |
| 4+ Bedroom | £400 – £550+ |
Ranges reflect standard-condition properties. Heavily soiled properties, or ones with significant oven or carpet work needed, typically cost more.
Our fixed prices — below the London market average
We keep our pricing well below typical London rates without cutting corners on the checklist. Oven cleaning, all equipment, and eco-friendly products are included as standard in every price below — no hidden extras.
| Property Size | Flat | House |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | from £115 | — |
| 1 Bedroom | from £131 | — |
| 2 Bedroom | from £156 | from £165 |
| 3 Bedroom | from £182 | from £193 |
| 4 Bedroom | from £225 | from £235 |
Why we can charge less: we don't outsource to subcontractors or charge extra for the oven, which is where many companies quietly add £30–£60 to your final bill. Our fixed price is the price you pay — plus a 72-hour re-clean guarantee if anything gets flagged at inspection, and we price-match any like-for-like quote if you find one cheaper.
Is professional cleaning worth the cost?
Cleaning causes the majority of deposit disputes in the UK, and the average cleaning-related deduction often exceeds what a professional clean would have cost in the first place. If your deposit is £1,500–£2,000, as many London deposits are, a £115–£230 clean is inexpensive insurance against losing a much larger amount over something avoidable.
DIY cleaning can work if you have the time, the right products, and a property that's already in good condition — but it typically takes 6–12+ hours to reach the standard inventory clerks expect, and mistakes with the wrong products on carpets or upholstery can make things worse, not better.
Get a fixed price, not an estimate
No call-outs, no surprise add-ons. Tell us your property size and we'll give you a fixed quote from £115 — oven cleaning included, no time limits, and a 72-hour re-clean guarantee if anything gets flagged.
Frequently Asked Questions
What factors influence the price of end of tenancy cleaning in the UK?
Property size is the biggest factor, followed by current condition, location, and any add-on services like carpet or upholstery cleaning. A well-maintained studio costs far less than a neglected four-bedroom house.
How is end of tenancy cleaning typically priced?
Most companies price by property size — the number of bedrooms and bathrooms — sometimes with a fixed quote, sometimes as a from-price that's confirmed after assessing the property's condition. We offer fixed prices from £115, confirmed before we start.
What's the average cost in London right now?
As of 2026, London prices typically range from £150 for a studio to £450+ for a larger property, depending on condition and provider. Our fixed prices sit well below this range, starting from £115.
Are there extra costs that can affect the final price?
Carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, and heavily soiled ovens or bathrooms can add to the cost with some providers. We include oven cleaning as standard and offer 30% off carpet cleaning when booked alongside your end of tenancy clean.
Is it cheaper to clean the property myself?
On paper, yes — but DIY cleaning takes 6–12+ hours to reach inventory standard, and if it falls short, you'll likely pay for a professional clean anyway on top of the time already spent. Cleaning is consistently one of the top reasons tenants lose part of their deposit, so getting it right the first time tends to work out cheaper overall.
