Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details: property size, number of rooms, condition and preferred dates. We’ll ask a few focused questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on your specific property rather than a rough estimate. Where possible, we confirm a fixed price in advance.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex properties, we may suggest a short virtual survey (video call and photos) or an onsite visit. This helps us understand the exact layout, flooring types and any particular concerns such as heavy staining or pet odours. The survey ensures we allocate the right team size, time and equipment, and avoids surprises on the day.
3. Preparation Before the Clean
We ask that the property is empty of personal belongings and as uncluttered as possible. Fridges and freezers should be emptied and defrosted, and any maintenance or repairs ideally completed. On the day, our professional team arrives on time with all necessary materials. We walk through the property, confirm priorities with you (or your agent), and then work systematically room by room until the clean is complete.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our end of tenancy cleaning costs are based on:
- Property size and number of bathrooms
- Condition and level of soiling
- Whether you require carpet cleaning or other add-ons
- Access, parking and any special requirements
Before you commit, you’ll receive a clear breakdown of what is included. There are no hidden weekend surcharges or surprise fees on the day. For managing agents and landlords with multiple properties in West Hampstead, we can discuss preferred rates and invoicing terms.
Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Over DIY?
Many tenants start with the intention of cleaning themselves, only to find that it takes far longer than expected and still doesn’t meet check-out standards. Professional cleaning offers several advantages:
- We use commercial-grade equipment and products that remove grease, limescale and odours more effectively than most supermarket options.
- Our teams follow structured checklists developed from real inventory reports, so key areas are never missed.
- We work efficiently, often completing in a few hours what might take you days around work and packing.
- Occupational experience means we understand how to treat different surfaces without damage.
In many cases, the cost of a professional clean is small compared with the potential deposit deductions for insufficient cleaning.
Insurance, Safety and Professional Standards
Your property is in safe hands. West Hampstead Carpet Cleaners is fully committed to operating to high professional standards:
- Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage while we are working on site
- Goods in transit insurance when we transport specialised equipment and materials to and from your property
- Trained and supervised cleaning teams with clear procedures and checklists
- Risk assessments where necessary for larger or multi-occupancy buildings
All staff are briefed on safe product use, colour-coding for cloths and mops, and correct handling of equipment. We treat your property with care, as if it were our own.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to balance effective cleaning with responsible practice:
- Use of low-VOC and eco-conscious products wherever practical, especially in homes with children or pets
- Careful selection of chemicals to protect surfaces and extend the life of carpets and flooring
- Reusable microfibre cloths and mop systems to reduce waste
- Efficient route planning to minimise travel time and emissions across West Hampstead
We also encourage landlords and tenants to communicate any sensitivities or allergies in advance so we can adapt our product choices accordingly.

Our knowledge of local building layouts, parking and access arrangements means fewer delays on the day and a smoother experience for everyone involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size of the property, number of bathrooms and overall condition. A small one-bedroom flat will naturally cost less than a large family home, and heavily soiled properties may require extra time. Once you provide basic details, we give a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Optional extras such as professional carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning are priced separately, so you can decide what fits your budget and tenancy requirements.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?
We do our best to accommodate urgent or same-day bookings, especially during peak moving periods. Availability depends on our current schedule and the size of your property, but it’s always worth calling to check. If we can’t offer same-day, we will usually be able to find a slot within a short timeframe. To improve your chances of securing an urgent appointment, have your property details ready and be flexible on start times so we can fit you around existing bookings.
Are you fully insured while cleaning my property?
Yes. We are fully insured for the work we carry out. This includes public liability cover for accidental damage or injury on site, and goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials while travelling to and from your property. Our teams are trained in safe working practices and careful handling of items. While incidents are rare, insurance provides added reassurance for landlords, tenants and managing agents that any unlikely issues will be dealt with properly and professionally.
What exactly is included in an end of tenancy clean?
Our standard end of tenancy clean covers a full deep clean of all rooms, including dusting, vacuuming, mopping, internal window cleaning, kitchen and appliance cleaning, and thorough bathroom descaling and sanitising. Inside cupboards, wardrobes and drawers are included once they are empty. We pay particular attention to ovens, hobs and bathrooms, as these are key areas for deposit deductions. Professional carpet cleaning, upholstery treatment and external windows are considered add-ons and can be included for an additional fee if required by your landlord or agent.
How far in advance should I book?
To secure your preferred date and time, we recommend booking as soon as you know your move-out date, typically 1–2 weeks in advance. This is especially important at the end of the month and during peak moving seasons, when slots fill quickly. However, we understand moves don’t always go to plan, so we keep some flexibility for late bookings. If your dates change, let us know as early as possible and we’ll work with you to reschedule without unnecessary stress or additional cost where feasible.
Do I need to be present during the clean?
You’re welcome to be present, but it isn’t essential. Many tenants have already moved out or are at work while we clean. We can arrange key collection and return with your landlord, agent or concierge if that’s easier. Before we start, we’ll agree instructions for access, alarm systems and how to lock up. At the end, we can send photos or a brief summary if you’re not attending in person, giving you peace of mind that everything has been completed before check-out.
