Who Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Is For
- Homeowners – preparing a property for sale or new tenants, or handing over after a renovation.
- Renters – moving out and wanting the best chance of a full deposit return.
- Landlords – ensuring a clean, hygienic and attractive property between tenancies.
- Businesses – ending a commercial lease or moving staff between company lets.

Whether you’re moving out of a studio flat or a large family house, we tailor our service to the size and condition of the property.
Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quotation
Contact us by phone, email or online form with the property size, number of bathrooms and your move-out date. We’ll ask a few questions about the current condition, any problem areas and whether you need extras such as oven deep cleaning or carpet cleaning. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining what is included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most properties, a virtual survey (photos or video) is sufficient. For larger or more complex homes, we may recommend a brief onsite visit in Richmond or nearby. This helps us assess access, parking, and any specific requirements, and ensures we allocate the right team size and time. The more we can see upfront, the more accurate and fair your price will be.
3. Preparation for Cleaning Day
We’ll agree a date and arrival window that fits with your removals and key handover. We typically ask that:
- The property is empty of personal belongings and rubbish where possible
- Fridges and freezers are defrosted in advance if interior cleaning is booked
- Parking arrangements are confirmed, if needed
On the day, our professional team arrives with all equipment and materials, carries out the full clean and checks each room before leaving.
Transparent Pricing for End of Tenancy Cleaning
We price end of tenancy cleans primarily by property size, number of bathrooms and overall condition. Heavily soiled properties or those requiring additional services (such as carpet cleaning or oven deep cleaning) will be quoted with these elements clearly itemised.
Our quotations always state:
- Exactly what areas and rooms are included
- Any optional extras and their prices
- Whether cleaning materials and equipment are included (they usually are)
- Any parking or congestion charges if applicable
We do not use hidden fees. If the brief changes (for example, additional rooms or heavy post-builders’ dust), we discuss and agree any adjustment before starting extra work.
Why Use Professional End of Tenancy Cleaners Instead of DIY?
End of tenancy cleaning is more demanding than a normal weekly clean. Inventory checks are detailed and often unforgiving. Professional cleaners:
- Work to a clear, room-by-room checklist aligned with local agent expectations
- Use commercial-grade products and equipment for limescale, grease and traffic marks
- Know where inspectors routinely look and what commonly leads to deposit deductions
- Can complete the work more quickly and efficiently than most occupants managing a move
Attempting a full move-out clean yourself while packing, moving and dealing with utilities is stressful and often results in missed areas. A professional service provides peace of mind and frees your time for the move itself.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Your property and belongings are protected when you book with Cleaners Richmond. We maintain:
- Public liability cover – to protect against accidental damage to fixtures and fittings.
- Goods in transit insurance – where we transport any of our equipment or your items as agreed.
- Trained cleaning teams – all staff are instructed in correct product use, surface care and health & safety.
We operate with clear risk assessments and method statements for more complex jobs, and we are happy to provide proof of cover on request for agents and corporate clients.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property as if it were our own. Our teams take care to protect delicate surfaces, finishes and fittings, always testing products where necessary and following manufacturer guidance. Where appropriate, we use lower-impact or eco-friendlier cleaning products without compromising on hygiene.
We minimise waste by using concentrated solutions, reusable microfibre cloths and responsible disposal of any materials we bring. If you have specific environmental or allergy requirements, let us know and we will adapt our approach where possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Richmond cost?
The cost depends on the size and condition of the property and any extras you choose. A small studio will naturally be less than a large family house with multiple bathrooms and carpets to clean. When you contact us, we ask a few questions and, if needed, request photos or a short video walk-through. This allows us to give a realistic fixed price with no hidden charges. Your quote will clearly list what is included so you can compare it fairly with other providers.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?
We understand that move dates and check-out appointments can change at short notice. Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate same-day or next-day end of tenancy cleans in Richmond and nearby areas. Availability is tighter at month end and during peak moving periods, so we recommend contacting us as soon as you know your date. If we can fit you in, we will confirm a time window and ensure we have the right team and equipment ready for your property.
Are you insured if something is damaged during cleaning?
Yes. Cleaners Richmond operates with full public liability cover and appropriate goods in transit insurance for the movement of equipment and agreed items. While damage is rare, accidents can occasionally happen in any property. If something occurs, we ask you to inform us promptly so we can investigate, document the issue and, where we are responsible, resolve it in line with our insurance and company procedures. We are happy to share proof of cover for peace of mind, especially for landlords and managing agents.
What exactly is included in your end of tenancy clean?
Our end of tenancy clean is a comprehensive deep clean of kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, bedrooms, hallways and internal windows. We clean all reachable surfaces, skirting, doors, tiles, sanitary ware, worktops, cupboards and floors. We focus on limescale, grease and built-up dust, following a detailed checklist based on typical letting agent standards. Items such as carpet steam cleaning, oven deep cleaning, exterior windows, garages and external areas are not included as standard but can often be added for an additional charge. Your written quote will specify precisely what your package covers.
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 check-out inspection time. For Richmond and surrounding areas, one to two weeks’ notice usually gives you a good choice of appointment slots, particularly if you need carpets or ovens cleaned as well. That said, we regularly help clients on shorter notice. If your date is flexible, we can suggest times where we already have teams nearby, which may also help with pricing and logistics.
Do I need to be at the property during the clean?
You’re welcome to be present, but it’s not essential. Many clients leave keys with a neighbour, concierge, landlord or agent, or arrange for us to collect and return them locally in Richmond. We simply need clear access, running water and electricity. At the end of the job, we can walk you or your representative through the property, or send confirmation and photos if you are moving from a distance. Our goal is to make the process as straightforward as possible during what is often a busy time.
