Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or our online form with basic details: property size, number of rooms and bathrooms, type of flooring, parking options and your move-out date. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually based on the size and condition of the property and any additional services such as carpet cleaning or oven cleaning.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most properties, a short virtual survey (photos or video) is enough for an accurate quote. For larger or more complex properties, we can arrange an onsite visit. This helps us assess the current condition, note any heavy soiling or damage, and plan the correct number of cleaners and time required.

3. Preparation

Before we arrive, we ask that the property is mostly cleared of personal belongings and rubbish. On the day, our professional team arrives with all required equipment and eco-conscious detergents. We walk through the property, confirm the agreed scope, protect surfaces where needed and then work methodically through each room until the job is complete.

Transparent Pricing for End of Tenancy Cleans

We price end of tenancy cleaning by property size, layout and condition rather than a one-size-fits-all flat rate. This makes costs fairer for both studio flats and large multi-bedroom homes.

Your quote will clearly state:

• What areas are included
• Which additional services (if any) you’ve requested
• Any access or parking considerations

There are no hidden charges. If we feel additional work is required beyond the agreed scope, we will always discuss this with you first and get approval before proceeding.

Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Instead of DIY

Attempting a full end of tenancy clean yourself can be time-consuming and stressful, especially alongside packing and moving. Professional cleaners bring:

• Experience with landlord and agent expectations for checkouts
• Commercial-grade equipment and solutions for tougher cleaning tasks
• Efficient methods that achieve a higher standard in less time
• Detailed checklists to ensure nothing important is missed

Using a professional cleaning company also supports any deposit disputes. You’ll have an invoice and, if requested, a checklist of work completed on the day.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take your property and belongings seriously. Brixton Carpet Cleaning is:

• Fully insured with public liability cover for accidental damage
• Covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance for any items we may transport as part of specialist cleaning work
• Staffed by trained end of tenancy cleaning teams familiar with local requirements

Our cleaners wear appropriate clothing, use safe working practices and follow manufacturers’ instructions for all products and equipment.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We believe in cleaning that is thorough, safe and responsible:

• Where possible we use low-impact, eco-conscious cleaning products
• We protect delicate surfaces and test products on small areas first
• We use colour-coded cloths and mops to minimise cross-contamination
• We plan journeys efficiently to reduce unnecessary travel and emissions

Our aim is to leave the property looking its best while treating it with the same care we’d expect in our own homes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Brixton cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size and condition of the property, plus any additional services such as carpet or oven cleaning. Studios are naturally cheaper than larger family homes, and properties that are heavily soiled or cluttered may require more time. Once you share the basic details and, ideally, a few photos or a short video, we’ll give you a clear fixed price. There are no hidden fees, and we always confirm costs in writing before booking your appointment.

Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?

We understand that moves don’t always go to plan, so we do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings in Brixton where our schedule allows. Availability will depend on existing commitments and the size of the job, but we’ll always be honest about what we can realistically achieve within your timescales. If we can’t fit you in on the exact day, we’ll offer the nearest possible slot and may suggest splitting the work if that helps meet your checkout deadline.

Are you insured while working in my property?

Yes. We are fully insured to work in residential and commercial properties. Our cover includes public liability insurance for accidental damage and appropriate goods in transit protection for any items we need to move or handle as part of specialist cleaning. Our teams are trained to use all equipment and products correctly, and we carry out risk assessments where needed. If your landlord or managing agent requires confirmation of insurance, we can provide proof of cover upon request before the cleaning date.

What exactly is included in your end of tenancy cleaning service?

Our service is a thorough deep clean of the entire property, focusing on areas usually checked at inventory stage. This includes full cleaning of bathrooms and toilets, kitchens and surfaces, cupboards inside and out, internal windows, skirting boards, doors and frames, and vacuuming or mopping all floors. Standard surface-level cleaning of carpets and soft furnishings is also included. Specialist services such as hot water extraction carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning or detailed oven degreasing can be added to your booking for an additional fee if required.

How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy clean?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you know your move-out date, particularly during busy periods such as month-end and summer. One to two weeks’ notice is usually enough to secure your preferred day and time. However, we can often accommodate shorter notice, especially mid-week. For the best results, the property should be mostly empty on the day of cleaning, so it’s helpful to coordinate your removal company and cleaning date together. We’re happy to advise on timings based on your specific situation.
