Who Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Service Is For
Renters and Tenants
If you’re moving out and want to give yourself the best chance of receiving your full deposit back, a thorough clean is essential. We focus on the high‑risk areas that most often lead to deposit deductions: ovens, bathrooms, carpets, skirting boards, and behind appliances. We are happy to work to your inventory report where available.
Homeowners
Moving house can be stressful enough without worrying about deep cleaning. We offer move‑out cleaning for owners who want to hand over a fresh, professionally cleaned home to buyers, or to prepare a property before it goes on the market.
Landlords and Letting Agents
We support landlords and agents across Foots Cray with reliable pre‑tenancy and post‑tenancy cleans. Our service helps reduce void periods by turning properties around quickly, presenting them in a condition that helps attract quality tenants and keeps check‑in reports simple and clear.
Businesses and Commercial Tenants
We provide end of lease cleaning for small offices, shops and commercial units. From carpet and hard floor cleaning to kitchenettes and washrooms, we help you meet lease requirements and hand back a tidy, professional space to the landlord.
Students and HMO Tenants
Shared houses and student lets need particular attention at the end of a tenancy. We can clean individual rooms or whole properties, focusing on shared kitchens, bathrooms and high‑traffic areas that can easily become worn and dirty over the year.

Our Step‑by‑Step Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quotation
You can contact us by phone, email or via our online form with basic details of the property: location in Foots Cray, number of rooms, current condition and your move‑out date. We provide a clear, itemised quote based on the size and type of property and any additional services such as professional carpet cleaning.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most homes and small properties, a brief virtual survey using photos or video is sufficient. For larger or more complex jobs, we may recommend an onsite visit in Foots Cray to assess access, parking, and any particular issues such as heavy soiling or pet damage. This helps us allocate the right team size, time and equipment.
3. Preparation
Before cleaning day, we confirm your booking, arrival window and agreed checklist. We ask that the property is emptied of personal items and rubbish where possible. On arrival, our trained cleaners walk through the property with you (or according to your instructions), prioritise key areas and protect flooring as needed before starting work.
4. Detailed Cleaning
Our team then works systematically from top to bottom, room by room, following our tenancy checklist and any agent requirements you have passed on. We pay particular attention to kitchens, bathrooms, appliances and flooring, as these are the most common causes of disputes at check‑out.
5. Final Checks and Sign‑Off
Once cleaning is complete, we carry out a final inspection and invite you, your representative or agent (where practical) to walk around the property. Any minor touch‑ups requested within the agreed scope are dealt with on the spot where possible.
Transparent Pricing for End of Tenancy Cleaning
We price each job individually to reflect the size and condition of the property, rather than offering a one‑size‑fits‑all rate. Factors that influence cost include:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Type of property (flat, house, HMO, commercial unit)
- Current level of soiling and scale build‑up
- Optional extras such as carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning
All quotes are provided in writing, with no hidden charges. If access or condition is significantly different from what was described, we will always discuss any price changes with you before proceeding.
Why Choose Professional Cleaning Over DIY?
While it’s possible to clean a property yourself, end of tenancy standards are typically higher than everyday cleaning. Professional cleaners bring:
- Experience of what landlords and agents focus on in check‑outs
- Commercial‑grade products and equipment for better results
- The time and manpower to carry out a thorough, top‑to‑bottom clean in a single visit
- Documented proof of professional cleaning if there are later disputes
For many tenants, the cost of a professional clean is small compared with potential deposit deductions for missed areas or inadequate cleaning.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Foots Cray Carpet Cleaners operates to high professional standards for your peace of mind. Our teams are fully insured and properly trained in handling cleaning chemicals and equipment safely in homes and workplaces.
- Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to your property
- Goods in transit insurance for any of our equipment or materials carried through your premises
- Regular training and supervision to maintain consistent quality
We take care around your fixtures, fittings and any remaining belongings, working neatly and respectfully throughout the job.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property as if it were our own. Where required, we use door and floor protectors as we move equipment in and out, and we always check for delicate surfaces or finishes before choosing products.
Wherever practical, we favour lower‑impact cleaning solutions that still meet professional hygiene standards. We minimise water and chemical use, avoid unnecessary waste and ensure all containers and materials are disposed of responsibly in line with local regulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost?
Pricing depends on the size, layout and condition of the property, as well as any extras such as carpet or upholstery cleaning. A small one‑bed flat in reasonable condition will naturally cost less than a large family home that needs more time and attention. Once you share basic details – property type, number of rooms and whether you have pets – we provide a clear, fixed quotation in writing, with no hidden charges. We’re always happy to explain how the price is calculated so you can make an informed decision.
Can you provide same‑day or urgent end of tenancy cleans?
Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate urgent or short‑notice bookings in Foots Cray, especially outside of peak moving periods. Same‑day service is not guaranteed, but if you call us early with your dates and key times (such as inventory or key hand‑over), we will do our best to arrange a suitable slot. For tight deadlines, we may assign a larger team so the clean can be completed to a high standard within the time available.
Are your cleaners insured while working in my property?
Yes. Foots Cray Carpet Cleaners carries public liability cover for work carried out in your property, and goods in transit insurance for our equipment as we move it through the building. Our cleaners are trained to work carefully around your fixtures and any remaining belongings, and we take incidents extremely seriously. While issues are rare, our insurance and internal procedures are in place to ensure that, if something does go wrong, it is dealt with fairly and professionally.
What exactly is included in an end of tenancy clean?
Our standard end of tenancy service is a top‑to‑bottom clean of all accessible areas. This includes dusting, vacuuming and mopping throughout; detailed cleaning of kitchens and bathrooms; internal windows; and wiping of doors, skirting boards and light switches. Ovens, hobs and extractors are cleaned as standard, and cupboards are cleaned inside and out if empty. Specialist services such as carpet shampooing, upholstery cleaning or external windows can be added on request and will be itemised separately on your quote.
How far in advance should I book?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking as soon as your move‑out or check‑out date is confirmed. During busy periods, such as month‑end and the summer moving season, slots in Foots Cray can fill quickly. However, we understand that plans sometimes change, so we will always try to accommodate last‑minute requests where possible. If your dates are flexible, we may be able to suggest off‑peak times that work well for both of us.
Do I need to be present during the clean?
You don’t have to be on site for the whole visit, as long as we can gain entry and there is a clear arrangement for key collection and return. Many clients meet us at the start to highlight any particular concerns, then return for a final walk‑through at the end. If you live further away, we can liaise with your agent, neighbour or landlord instead. Either way, we keep communication clear so you know when the job is finished and how to access the property afterwards.
