Who Our End of Tenancy Cleaning in Brixton Is For
Renters and Tenants
If you are moving out of a flat or house in Brixton, a proper end of tenancy clean is often a condition for getting your full deposit back. We focus on the key areas that most commonly cause deposit deductions – kitchens, bathrooms, ovens, limescale, carpets and skirting boards – to give you the best possible chance of a smooth checkout.
Homeowners
Whether you are selling your home or handing it back after a short-let, presenting a spotless property sets the right tone for buyers and agents. Our service is ideal before photography, open days or completion, ensuring the property feels fresh, neutral and move-in ready.
Landlords and Letting Agents
We work with landlords and agents across Brixton to provide consistent, documented end of tenancy cleans between tenants. A properly cleaned property lets faster, attracts better applicants and reduces complaints at move-in. We can work to your own checklist or provide our standard inventory-based list.
Students and House Shares
Student lets and HMOs can be challenging at the end of tenancy, especially with multiple tenants moving out together. We offer practical, fixed-price options for student properties in Brixton, focusing on communal areas, appliances and bathrooms where most disputes arise.
Businesses and Commercial Tenancies
For offices, studios and small commercial units, we provide tailored move-out cleans to meet your lease obligations. This can include kitchenettes, toilets, internal glass, floors and internal fixtures to help you hand the space back in good order.

Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details: property size, number of bathrooms, condition and preferred dates. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on your description, any add-ons (such as professional carpet cleaning) and access requirements. Prices are fixed for the agreed specification, so there are no hidden surprises on the day.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most properties in Brixton, we can quote accurately using a short virtual survey – photos, videos or a video call walk-through. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend an onsite visit. This helps us assess the level of soiling (grease, limescale, wear and tear), note any delicate surfaces, and confirm parking or access arrangements for the team and equipment.
3. Preparation
Before we arrive, we ask that the property is fully vacated where possible – furniture removed, cupboards emptied and personal items taken away. Fridges and freezers should be defrosted, and bins emptied. We then arrive at the agreed time with all products and tools. The team leader walks through the property against our checklist, agrees priorities with you, and then organises the team so that work is carried out efficiently and systematically.
4. The Clean and Final Check
Our cleaners work methodically from top to bottom, room by room. Once complete, the team leader carries out a final inspection, checking each area against the checklist. If you are present, we invite you to walk through with us so any queries can be resolved on the spot. On request, we can provide a completion note or photos for your records or for your landlord or agent.
Transparent Pricing for End of Tenancy Cleaning in Brixton
We price end of tenancy cleans according to:
- Property size (number of bedrooms and bathrooms)
- Overall condition (light, standard or heavy usage)
- Required add-ons such as carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning
- Parking or congestion charges, where applicable
Instead of hourly rates, we normally work on a fixed price for the agreed scope. This means you know exactly what you will pay, even if the job takes longer than expected. We provide written confirmation of what is included, any optional extras and payment terms before the booking is confirmed.
Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Over DIY?
Many tenants start cleaning themselves and then realise how much time and effort is involved. A proper end of tenancy clean is more demanding than a normal domestic clean. It requires attention to tiny details – behind appliances, inside cupboards, limescale on taps, edging on floors – that landlords and agents inspect closely. Our professional teams use commercial-grade products, specialist tools and structured checklists that most households simply do not have.
Using professionals also shows your landlord or agent that you have taken your responsibilities seriously. If any issues arise, having an invoice and a checklist from a recognised company makes discussions easier and often quicker to resolve than if the property has been cleaned informally.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Cleaners Brixton operates with comprehensive cover and a strong focus on standards:
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage.
- Goods in transit insurance – for situations where we transport cleaning equipment and materials to and from your property.
- Trained teams – every cleaner is trained in safe product use, surface care and end of tenancy checklists.
- Uniformed staff and signed vehicles where appropriate, for easy identification and peace of mind.
We follow strict health and safety procedures, use COSHH-compliant products and always work with respect for your former home and neighbours.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
During an end of tenancy clean, we take care to protect any remaining fixtures and fittings. We use appropriate products for different surfaces – for example, non-scratch cleaners on hobs and baths, and pH-appropriate solutions on natural stone. Floors and corners are treated carefully to avoid damage from excess water or harsh chemicals.
Where possible, we choose environmentally responsible cleaning solutions that are effective but less aggressive, especially in homes where families or pets will be moving in next. We minimise waste, use concentrated products to reduce packaging, and plan our routes in Brixton to cut unnecessary travel and emissions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Brixton cost?
Pricing depends on the size and condition of the property and whether you need any extras such as carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning. As a guide, a small one-bedroom flat will cost less than a larger multi-bathroom house with heavy usage. We provide a clear, fixed quote in advance based on your description or a short virtual survey. This quote sets out exactly what is included so you can compare it fairly with any alternative quotes.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?
We do our best to accommodate urgent and same-day requests in Brixton, especially during busy moving periods. Availability depends on existing bookings and team capacity, but we can often rearrange schedules to help with last-minute moves or failed DIY cleans. The sooner you contact us with your preferred date and time, the better the chance we can fit you in. For urgent jobs, we may ask you to share photos or a video walk-through so we can quote quickly and accurately.
Are you insured while working in my property?
Yes. We operate with public liability cover for work carried out inside your property and goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials while travelling. This protects you, your landlord and our team in the unlikely event that something goes wrong. In addition, our cleaners are trained to work safely with chemicals, equipment and fragile surfaces, reducing risks further. If your landlord or agent requires confirmation of our insurance, we can provide documentation on request before the booking date.
What exactly is included in your end of tenancy cleaning service?
Our standard service covers a full deep clean of all accessible areas inside the property: kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, hallways, internal windows, skirting boards, switches and fixtures. We clean inside cupboards and wardrobes if they are emptied, and we include standard oven cleaning as part of the package. Extras like professional carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, external windows or outdoor spaces are not included as standard, but can usually be added for an additional cost if requested in advance.
How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy clean?
Where possible, we recommend booking 7–10 days before your move-out date, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer. This gives you the best choice of slots and allows time for any survey or clarification before the clean. However, we understand that moves do not always run to plan. If your dates change or you need a short-notice clean, contact us and we will do our best to find a suitable time, even if that means an early or late appointment.
Do I need to be present during the clean?
You do not have to stay while we clean, as long as we have safe access to the property and a way to lock up afterwards. Many tenants meet us at the start, run through any specific concerns, and then return at the end for a quick walk-through. Others leave keys with their agent or concierge. If you cannot attend at all, we can send you a completion note or photos once the job is finished, giving you evidence for your landlord or inventory clerk.
