Specialist Local End of Tenancy Cleaners in Greenwich
We work day in, day out with Greenwich-based tenants, landlords and property managers, so we understand the typical checkout requirements from local agents and housing associations. From Victorian terraces near the park to modern riverside flats, we adapt our methods to the age, layout and condition of your property.
Our team arrives on time, in uniform, with all equipment and materials provided. We plan the clean around your inventory and check-out report expectations to give you the best possible chance of a smooth handover.
Who Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling or moving out of a property you own, our service helps present your home in its best possible light for viewings, surveys and completion. A professionally cleaned property can support a quicker sale and reduces disputes over cleanliness at handover.
Renters
For tenants, our end of tenancy cleaning is designed to help protect your deposit. We follow agency-style cleaning checklists and focus on the areas that most often lead to deductions: kitchens, bathrooms, ovens, carpets and limescale. We can liaise with you or your agent if any issues are raised following the clean.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We regularly provide professional move-out cleans for landlords and agents who need properties turned around quickly between tenancies. Our team can coordinate access, keys and alarm codes, and we can work to tight timescales where new tenants are due to move in shortly after.
Businesses & Offices
For commercial premises, we offer end of lease cleaning tailored to office spaces, studios and small retail units in Greenwich. We can include carpet cleaning, hard floor care and detailed kitchen and washroom cleaning to meet lease obligations and dilapidation clauses.
Students
We understand student lets often involve shared kitchens, bathrooms and heavy wear. Our team provides cost-effective, thorough cleans for HMOs and student flats, and we are used to working around multiple rooms and mixed check-out dates.
What Is Included in Our End of Tenancy Cleaning
Our standard service is a full top-to-bottom deep clean of the property, including:
- Kitchen: Degreasing of worktops, cupboard fronts and handles; internal clean of cupboards and drawers; hob, tiles and splashbacks; sink and taps descaled; exterior of all appliances; internal oven clean as requested.
- Bathrooms & WCs: Descaling of toilets, baths, showers and screens; cleaning of tiles and grout where accessible; sinks and taps polished; mirrors cleaned; extractor fans dusted.

- Carpet cleaning: Optional professional hot water extraction for carpets and rugs for a deeper clean and stain removal.
We always tailor our work to the specific property and inventory. If you have any particular concerns – for example, heavy limescale, pet odours or marks on carpets – please mention this during enquiry so we can plan accordingly.
What Is Not Included as Standard
To keep pricing fair and transparent, some tasks are excluded from a standard end of tenancy clean but can often be added on request:
- External window cleaning above ground-floor level.
- Professional oven valeting beyond standard internal cleaning for very heavy build-up.
- Cleaning of lofts, cellars or outbuildings unless requested and safe to access.
- Removal of rubbish, furniture or large items (we can recommend licensed waste carriers).
- Deep mould remediation or work requiring specialist contractors.
- Repainting, repairs, or any works beyond cleaning.
We will always clarify what is and is not included in your written quote so there are no surprises on the day.
Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few key questions: property size, number of bathrooms, current condition, parking and your move-out date. Based on this, we provide a clear, itemised quotation outlining the cleaning tasks, any optional extras such as carpet or upholstery cleaning, and an estimated duration.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most properties, a detailed description and photos are enough, so we often complete a virtual survey by email or messaging. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend an onsite survey at a convenient time. This allows us to assess any heavy soiling, access issues or specialist requirements, ensuring the quote is accurate and the right equipment is scheduled.
3. Preparation Before the Clean
We ask that the property is emptied of personal belongings and that any removals are completed before we arrive. Fridges and freezers should be defrosted where possible, and cupboards emptied. If you need to overlap removals and cleaning, we can coordinate timings, but the best results are achieved in an unfurnished or nearly empty property.
On the day, our trained cleaners walk through the property, confirm the scope of work and priorities with you (or your agent), and then begin a structured, room-by-room clean.
Transparent Pricing for End of Tenancy Cleaning
We price each job individually based on property size, number of bathrooms, condition and any additional services such as carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning. Our pricing is fixed in advance, so you know exactly what you will pay before we start.
There are no hidden charges for products or equipment, and we will always highlight any potential additional costs (for example, extreme oven cleaning or heavily stained carpets) during quotation rather than after the job. Written quotes can be provided for submission to landlords or agents if required.
Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Over DIY?
End of tenancy standards are usually higher than day-to-day domestic cleaning. DIY attempts often miss the details that agents look for: behind appliances, high-level dust, limescale build-up or ingrained carpet marks. As professional cleaners, we use commercial-grade equipment, proven products and efficient systems to achieve a deeper, more consistent result in less time.
Our team is used to working to inventory checklists and can spot issues that may raise questions at inspection. For most tenants, the cost of a professional clean is small compared with the potential loss of deposit due to cleanliness-related deductions.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Greenwich Carpet Cleaners operates to high professional standards, with full documentation available on request:
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property while we work on site.
- Goods in transit insurance where we transport any of our specialist equipment or your soft furnishings for off-site treatment.
- Trained moving teams and cleaning operatives who follow method statements, risk assessments and manufacturer guidelines for all products used.
We also maintain COSHH information for our cleaning chemicals and ensure they are used safely around surfaces, finishes and fabrics common in Greenwich homes and premises.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property as if it were our own. Surfaces are tested where necessary, and we choose appropriate products for delicate finishes, natural stone, real wood and specialist flooring. Protective pads and coverings are used where needed to prevent marking while we move equipment around your home.
Sustainability is increasingly important to our clients. Wherever practical, we select low-VOC and environmentally considerate products that still deliver the standard of cleanliness required at tenancy end. We minimise water and energy usage, and we dispose of our waste in line with local regulations, avoiding unnecessary single-use plastics where alternative options are available.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size of the property, the number of bathrooms and its overall condition. A small one-bedroom flat will cost less than a large family house, and heavy soiling or extensive limescale may require extra time. We provide a clear, fixed quote after asking a few simple questions or reviewing photos. Optional extras such as carpet or upholstery cleaning are itemised separately so you can decide what is necessary for your checkout. There are no hidden charges for equipment, products or weekend work.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?
We do our best to accommodate urgent bookings, especially where tenants have tight move-out deadlines or landlords need a quick turnaround. Same-day service is sometimes possible, depending on team availability and property size. The more notice you can give, the better the chance of securing your preferred time. If we cannot offer a same-day slot, we will usually be able to suggest the earliest available appointment and may propose a larger team to complete the work faster where feasible.
Are you insured while working in my property?
Yes, we are fully insured. We hold public liability cover for work carried out on your premises, and goods in transit insurance where any of our equipment or your items are transported for specialist treatment. Our policies are designed specifically for professional cleaning operations and are available for inspection on request. In addition, our staff are trained in safe working practices to minimise the risk of accidental damage. This level of protection is one of the key differences between using a professional company and attempting the clean yourself.
What exactly is included in your end of tenancy cleaning service?
Our service is a full deep clean of all main rooms, focusing on kitchens, bathrooms, floors and internal windows. We clean and degrease worktops, cupboard fronts and appliances, descale bathrooms, dust and wipe all reachable surfaces, skirting boards and doors, and vacuum and mop all floors. Internal windows and sills are cleaned, and we remove general cobwebs. Optional extras include carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning and more intensive oven cleaning where required. We will always confirm the exact inclusions in your written quote so expectations are clear.
How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy clean?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed move-out date or checkout appointment. One to two weeks’ notice usually gives us enough time to offer you a choice of slots, particularly at busy times such as month-end and university term changeovers. That said, we regularly accommodate shorter-notice bookings where schedules allow. It is important that removals are mostly complete before we arrive, so we recommend coordinating with your moving company or van hire accordingly.
