Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details of the property: type, number of rooms, condition and any specific requirements such as professional carpet cleaning or oven cleaning. We then provide a clear, itemised quotation. Where possible, we offer a fixed price so you know the cost upfront.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex properties, we may carry out a short virtual survey via photos or video, or arrange an onsite visit. This allows us to assess the level of soiling, access, parking and any specialist work required. The survey ensures the quote is accurate and that we allocate the right team and equipment.

3. Preparation Before Cleaning

We ask that the property is emptied of personal belongings and rubbish before we arrive. On the day, our trained cleaners walk through the property with you (or follow a prepared checklist) to confirm priorities. We protect flooring where needed, plan the order of works, and then carry out the full clean, finishing with a final inspection and any agreed touch-ups.

Transparent Pricing for End of Tenancy Cleaning

Our pricing is based on the size and condition of the property, not on vague estimates. Typical factors include:

• Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
• Presence of carpets vs hard flooring
• Level of wear and soiling
• Additional services such as oven cleaning or carpet cleaning

We provide a clear breakdown, showing what is included in the standard clean and what is optional. There are no hidden charges for basic materials or equipment. Parking or congestion charges are discussed in advance if they apply.

Why Use Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Instead of DIY

End of tenancy cleaning is more demanding than a normal weekly clean. Landlords and agents look closely at ovens, limescale, skirting boards and corners that are often overlooked. Our professional service offers:

• Experienced cleaners who know common inspection points
• Industrial-grade products and equipment for better results
• Time-saving – you focus on moving while we handle the cleaning
• Detailed checklists that align with inventory standards
• Reduced risk of deductions from your deposit

DIY cleaning often leads to callbacks and extra costs when a landlord is not satisfied. Our role is to minimise that risk.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Catford Carpet Cleaners operates to high, accountable standards. For your protection, we maintain:

• Public liability cover – in case of accidental damage to the property
• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items when we transport cleaning equipment and any agreed belongings
• Trained cleaning teams – properly inducted in safe product use, colour coding and property care

We follow clear procedures for key holding, alarm systems and access so the property is secure at all times.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to protect both your property and the environment while delivering a thorough clean:

• Use of effective but responsible cleaning products where possible
• Colour-coded cloths and mops to prevent cross-contamination
• Protective pads used under equipment to avoid marking floors
• Careful ventilation when using stronger products in bathrooms and kitchens
• Efficient route planning around Catford to reduce unnecessary travel

Where a greener alternative product can achieve the same result, we will use it, while never compromising on the standard of clean needed for end of tenancy inspections.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Catford cost?

The cost depends mainly on the size and condition of the property and whether you need extras such as carpet cleaning or oven cleaning. We usually provide fixed prices per property type (for example, studio, one‑bed, two‑bed, etc.), then adjust slightly for heavy soiling or special requests. Once we have basic details, we give you a clear written quote so you know exactly what you are paying for, with no hidden charges for standard materials or equipment.

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

We understand move-out dates can change at short notice, and we do our best to accommodate urgent requests in Catford. Same-day or next-day bookings are sometimes possible, particularly outside peak weekends, depending on team availability and the size of the property. If you need an urgent clean, contact us as early as you can with full details. We will confirm quickly whether we can attend, the likely duration of the clean, and any priority areas to focus on if time is limited.

Are you insured while working in my property?

Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover and goods in transit insurance. This protects the property and any items we may move while cleaning, as well as our own equipment. Our teams are trained to handle keys securely, follow alarm procedures and respect building rules. If you ever need confirmation, we are happy to provide details of our insurance before work begins, giving landlords, agents and tenants peace of mind that the clean is being carried out by a responsible, fully covered company.

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

Our standard service includes a full top-to-bottom clean of all rooms, bathrooms and kitchen, working to a detailed checklist. This covers dusting, wiping and polishing surfaces, internal window cleaning, skirting boards, doors, frames, switches, vacuuming and mopping floors, plus a deep clean of bathrooms and the kitchen, including cupboards inside and out. Extras such as professional carpet cleaning, oven cleaning and upholstery cleaning can be added on request. Before the job, we confirm in writing what is included so everyone knows what to expect.

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

We recommend booking as soon as you know your move-out date, ideally at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as month-end and summer. This gives us time to schedule the right size team and ensure the clean takes place after your belongings are removed but before the final inspection. However, we do keep some flexibility for last‑minute moves in Catford, so it is always worth contacting us, even if your timeline is tight or has changed unexpectedly.
