Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning for Smooth Move-Outs
Our end of tenancy cleaning is a detailed top-to-bottom service designed to leave the property clean, fresh and ready for inspection. We work to agreed checklists that align with most UK tenancy agreements and local agency standards, helping tenants protect their deposits and landlords present their properties at their best.
Every clean is carried out by trained, experienced and fully insured cleaners using professional equipment and products suitable for UK rental properties.
Local Bermondsey Expertise
Based in Bermondsey, we know the local rental market well. We regularly work with local landlords, estate agents and property managers, so we understand common inspection points, typical problem areas and how quickly a property often needs to be turned around between tenants.
Whether you are moving out of a studio flat near Bermondsey Street or managing multiple properties across SE1, we can schedule cleans at short notice and coordinate access with agents or key-holding services where required.
Who Our End of Tenancy Cleaning is For
Homeowners
If you are selling your home or moving out and want to leave the property in excellent condition, our end of tenancy cleaning offers a deep, detailed clean that standard domestic cleaning does not usually cover.
Renters & Students
We support tenants and students who need a reliable clean to help secure their deposit return. We follow a detailed checklist covering kitchens, bathrooms, appliances and all living areas, and we can provide an invoice as proof of professional cleaning for your landlord or agency.
Landlords & Letting Agents
Landlords and agents rely on us to prepare properties quickly and consistently between tenancies. We provide professional documentation, can work to specific agency checklists, and can combine end of tenancy cleaning with carpet and upholstery cleaning for a complete turnaround.
Businesses & Commercial Tenancies
We also handle end of lease cleaning for small offices, studio spaces and commercial units in Bermondsey. We can work outside normal business hours to minimise disruption and ensure the space meets the handover conditions of your lease.

Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or online form with the property details: size, number of rooms, type of flooring and any specific requests. We will ask a few questions about the condition of the property and any add-on services you need, such as carpet cleaning. Based on this, we provide a clear, itemised quotation with no hidden charges.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most properties, we can quote accurately from your description and photos. For larger or more complex jobs, we may recommend a brief virtual or onsite survey. This helps us confirm the scope, plan the right team size, and check access, parking and any special requirements, ensuring we bring the right equipment and allow enough time.
3. Preparation
Before we arrive, we ask that the property is fully vacated of personal items and that any large rubbish or furniture to be removed is dealt with separately. Fridges and freezers should be empty and defrosted if we are cleaning inside. On the day, our team arrives promptly, walks through the property, reviews the checklist with you if you are present, and then starts the cleaning systematically, room by room.
Transparent Pricing
We price end of tenancy cleaning primarily by property size, layout and condition. Smaller studios and one-bedroom flats naturally cost less than large multi-bedroom houses. Adding extras such as carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning will be clearly listed in your quote.
There are no hidden fees for standard work. Any potential additional costs, for example for heavily neglected properties, are discussed and agreed in advance. We can provide fixed prices for most jobs, giving you certainty when planning your move.
Why Choose Professional Cleaning Over DIY?
While it may be tempting to do an end of tenancy clean yourself, landlords and agents usually expect a higher standard than everyday domestic cleaning. As professionals, we:
- Use industrial-grade equipment and proven products to deal with limescale, grease and built-up dirt
- Follow structured checklists to ensure nothing is missed
- Understand typical inventory and check-out requirements
- Work efficiently, often completing in hours what might take you days
- Provide a professional invoice, often requested by agents and landlords
Investing in a professional clean can significantly reduce disputes over deposit deductions and save you time and stress at an already busy point in your move.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Bermondsey Carpet Cleaners operates to recognised professional standards for cleaning services in the UK. For your peace of mind, we maintain:
- Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to your property
- Goods in transit insurance in relation to the transport and use of our equipment and materials
- Trained cleaning teams who follow health and safety and COSHH guidelines
Our staff are carefully selected, trained in-house and supervised to ensure consistent quality. We take care around fixtures, fittings and surfaces, always using appropriate products for the material.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to deliver a deep, hygienic clean while taking a responsible approach to the environment and your property:
- Use of low-VOC, effective cleaning products wherever practical
- Careful dilution and application to minimise chemical use
- Microfibre cloths and modern equipment to reduce waste
- Protective coverings where needed to avoid marking floors and surfaces
- Separate cloths and tools for kitchens, bathrooms and general areas to reduce cross-contamination
We always treat your property as if it were our own, working steadily and methodically to achieve a clean that stands up to inspection.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost?
The cost depends mainly on the size, layout and condition of the property, plus any extras such as carpet cleaning. A small studio in Bermondsey will naturally cost less than a large multi-bedroom house. We provide a clear, fixed quotation once we know the number of rooms, bathrooms and any special requirements. There are no hidden charges for standard work, and any potential additional costs for heavily soiled properties are discussed upfront so you can make an informed decision.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?
We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings in Bermondsey, especially outside peak moving periods. Availability depends on our schedule and the size of the property, so contacting us as early as possible is best. If you have a fixed check-out appointment, let us know the date and time when you enquire. We will advise honestly whether we can meet your deadline, and if so, plan the team size and start time accordingly.
Are you insured if something gets damaged?
Yes, we are a fully insured local cleaning company. We hold public liability cover and goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials. Our teams are trained to handle fixtures and fittings carefully and to use the correct products for each surface. In the unlikely event of accidental damage, we deal with it transparently and in line with our insurance policies. Details of our cover can be provided on request, and we are happy to answer any specific concerns before booking.
What exactly is included in your end of tenancy cleaning?
Our service is a thorough deep clean of the entire property, including all rooms, internal windows, skirting boards, light switches, and standard kitchen and bathroom fittings. Ovens, hobs and extractor fans are cleaned, and cupboards and drawers are cleaned inside and out. Bathrooms are descaled and sanitised, and all floors are vacuumed and mopped. Optional extras such as carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning can be added. We will always confirm what is and isn’t included in writing before you book.
How far in advance should I book?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you know your move-out date, particularly during busy periods such as the end of the month or around university term changes. A week or two’s notice usually allows us to offer a choice of dates and times. However, we understand that plans can change, so we do our best to accommodate last-minute bookings where our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the more likely we can match your preferred slot and coordinate with your check-out inspection.
