End of Tenancy Cleaning - Why Deposits Go Missing

After

Before

Inventory clerks follow agency checklists, not impressions. Small traces trigger deductions fast – limescale on taps, grease above the hob, dust on skirting behind furniture, bin odours, and fingerprints on switches. Window tracks and blind slats show under daylight, and extractor hood filters reveal old grease lines. A rushed tidy rarely passes.

Samyx Cleaning prepares London properties for inventory review with end of tenancy cleaning London focused on checklist alignment. Kitchens receive degreasing on hobs, splashbacks, extractor parts, and inside cupboards at handle contact points. Bathrooms are descaled and polished so glass, chrome, and grout present cleanly. Skirting, handles, and sockets read uniform across rooms.

Inspections move faster, agents find fewer reasons to delay approval, and deposits are typically returned in full. The finish is neutral, without residue or scent, so the property reads unused for the next tenancy.

Megan O’Connell

Full deposit back, zero drama

I booked Samyx for end of tenancy cleaning on a two-bed flat in Battersea. The oven door, extractor filters, and bathroom glass looked brand new, and the inventory clerk barely paused in the kitchen. Windows, frames, and skirting were spotless, no perfume smell left behind. I received the report that afternoon and the landlord released the full deposit the next morning. Worth every minute saved on moving day.

Harun Desai

Passed inspection on the first go

Moving out with a tight handover window is stressful. Samyx arrived on time, worked through the checklist, and even cleared grime from the window tracks and blind slats. Carpets were hot-water extracted where needed and dried quickly with airflow. The clerk signed off in ten minutes and commented on the bathroom finish. Deposit returned in full, no back-and-forth emails.

Agnieszka Rosiak

Kitchen reset was impressive

I was most worried about the hob, splashback, and cupboards. The cleaning team degreased everything, wiped inside cabinets, and refreshed the extractor filter. They removed limescale on taps and left chrome bright. I didn’t have to chase—photos and a completion note were provided. Inventory passed first review and I got the deposit without deductions. Smooth from booking to keys.

Daniel Menson

Landlord ready the same day

I let my flat and needed it presentable between tenants. Samyx handled the full reset, including inside appliances and marks on doors and frames. They lifted a tea stain from the hallway carpet and neutralised lingering cooking odours. Agent viewing later that day went well - property looked unused and neutral. New tenants moved in two days later with no snag list.

Yasmine Haddad

Quick booking, clear result

Booking gave me a fixed price with VAT and a time window. The team followed the agency checklist and even cleaned behind the fridge where accessible. Mirrors were streak-free, grout lines looked tidy, and sockets were wiped. The clerk noted “good overall presentation” and I received the full amount back within 48 hours. I’d use them again for any move.

Viktor Mair

Small issue, sorted fast

Everything looked great, but the clerk asked for extra attention on the inside top of two cupboards. I contacted Samyx and they returned the next morning, quick touch-up and done. Final report passed and my deposit came back in full. Carpets felt clean, no sticky residue, and the place smelled neutral. Professional communication throughout, which helped during a busy move.

End of Tenancy Cleaning Aligned to the Agency Checklist

Work runs as a full reset, tracked room by room. Appliances are cleaned inside and out; cupboards are emptied and wiped (tops and inner door edges included); doors and frames lose visible marks; light fittings and reachable vents are dust-free. Kitchens get focused degreasing; oven cleaning is added when booked; extractor hood filters are refreshed.

For fabrics, hot water extraction or steam is used where suitable to lift soil and old odours. Hard floors are washed and pH-neutral rinsed, leaving no tacky film to attract dust. Windows, tiles, skirting boards, sockets, switches, blinds, and window tracks are checked against the list.

Before the team leaves, coverage is reviewed room by room. Where accessible, areas behind or under white goods are cleaned. If an agent flags a scoped item, a focused revisit can be arranged quickly so the property reads unused, not just tidy.

Fixed Pricing, Secure Access, and a 72-Hour Re-Clean

End of tenancy cleaning in London is priced as a fixed total by property size, VAT included. Clients see the amount before booking, with optional carpet or upholstery add-ons to present one complete result at inspection. No open-ended hourly billing.

Booking collects property type, room count, and access details. Keys or codes are logged under the job reference and returned at completion. Arrival windows and the checklist reference are sent by email. The cleaners attend with the full brief and can work around removals or inventory appointments the same day.

After completion, a seventy-two hour window applies for re-inspection. If the clerk raises an item covered by the agreed list, Samyx Cleaning returns to correct it within that period without charge. End of tenancy cleaning London aims for first-pass sign-off: clean surfaces, neutral air, and paperwork closed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is included in an end of tenancy cleaning service?

A: End of tenancy cleaning includes a full top-to-bottom clean of the entire property, following a fixed inventory checklist. The service covers kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, appliances, fixtures, and fittings, ensuring the property is ready for inspection.

Q: Why is end of tenancy cleaning important when moving out?

A: Letting agents and landlords in London require the property to meet professional cleanliness standards before returning your deposit. A proper end of tenancy clean reduces the risk of deductions and failed inventory reports.

Q: What makes your end of tenancy cleaning service different?

A: We use a checklist-based cleaning process shaped by years of working with London letting agents. Every part of the property is cleaned to meet actual inspection logic - not just surface tidiness. This includes appliances, lime-prone areas, and hidden zones that typically trigger deductions.

Q: Do you offer any guarantee for the service?

A: Yes. Every end of tenancy cleaning comes with a 72-hour guarantee. If anything is missed and reported within this period, we’ll return for a re-clean free of charge - subject to access.

Q: What happens if the final inventory inspection fails?

A: If a missed detail leads to inspection failure, and the issue is reported within our 72-hour guarantee window, we will re-clean the affected areas at no extra cost. Refunds are not offered, but resolution is always a priority.

Q: Are the cleaners insured in case something goes wrong?

A: Yes. All cleaning professionals are covered by Public Liability insurance up to £1,000,000. This covers accidental damage to property during the cleaning process.

Q: How long does end of tenancy cleaning usually take?

A: Cleaning time depends on the size and condition of the property. A small flat in good shape may take 3–4 hours, while larger or heavily used homes can take most of the day. The service finishes only once the full checklist is covered.

Q: Do I need to be present during the end of tenancy cleaning, or can it be done without me?

A: No, you don’t need to be present. You can give access through someone else, leave keys with the concierge, or book key collection and return for a small additional fee. Most clients prefer not to be at the property during cleaning.

Q: What should I do to prepare the property before cleaning?

A: Before the service, please remove all personal items, defrost the fridge/freezer, and bag any leftover rubbish. Ensure electricity, hot water, and lighting are available so the team can work safely and efficiently.

Q: Do I need to defrost the freezer before the cleaners arrive?

A: Yes. Please make sure the freezer is fully defrosted at least 24 hours in advance. This allows the team to clean it thoroughly without delays or risk of water damage.

Q: Do you bring your own cleaning equipment and products?

A: Yes. All materials, tools, and professional-grade cleaning products are provided and included in the price. You don’t need to supply anything.

Q: How many cleaners will attend the job?

A: The team size depends on the property. For smaller flats, one or two cleaners may be enough. For larger homes, we usually send a team of three or four to ensure the work is completed efficiently and to standard.

Q: Is window cleaning from the outside included?

A: No. External window cleaning is not included in the standard quote. It can be added as an extra service if safe access is possible. Balcony window exteriors are included if balcony cleaning is booked.

Q: Do you clean the oven as part of the service?

A: Yes. Deep oven cleaning is included. We ask that you specify the oven type - single, double, or rangе, when booking so we can assign the proper time and tools.

Q: Do you move furniture to clean behind it?

A: End of tenancy cleaning is usually performed in unfurnished or mostly empty properties. If lightweight furniture remains, it can be moved by the cleaners - only if it can be safely handled by one person.

Q: What access and parking arrangements do I need to make?

A: You must ensure there is parking within 50–150 metres of the property. If a permit is needed, please arrange it in advance. If no free parking is available, parking and congestion charges must be covered by the client.

Q: What time slots are available for cleaning?

A: We offer morning slots (8:00–9:00 AM), early afternoon slots (1:00–2:00 PM), and, in special cases, late afternoon (around 5:00 PM). Services are available Monday to Saturday.

Q: What if my property is in a congestion zone?

A: If the property is in the London Congestion Zone, the congestion charge will be added to your final invoice. We’ll inform you of this during booking confirmation.

Q: Do you wash painted walls or ceilings during end of tenancy cleaning?

A: No. Painted walls and ceilings are only dusted and cobwebs removed. We do not wash them due to the risk of damage to the paint or surface.

Q: Are carpets and upholstery included in the service?

A: Vacuuming of carpets and soft furnishings is included. Deep steam cleaning (hot water extraction) is available as an additional service and can be added during booking.

Q: Is carpet cleaning required for check-out?

A: In most cases, yes - especially if carpets or sofas were present during tenancy. Many landlords or letting agents expect hot water extraction to be performed. Always check your tenancy agreement for specific requirements.

Q: Is blinds cleaning included in the end of tenancy service?

A: Light dusting of blinds is included as standard. If you require deep cleaning (e.g. for greasy or smoke-covered blinds), it’s available for an additional charge.

Q: What’s the difference between light dusting and deep cleaning of blinds?

A: Light dusting removes loose surface dust but may leave residue behind. Deep cleaning involves removing, soaking, or wiping each slat thoroughly - suitable for grease or heavy build-up. Only deep cleaning comes with a quality guarantee.

Q: What areas do you cover for end of tenancy cleaning?

A: We provide end of tenancy cleaning across most London postcodes, covering Zones 1 to 5. If you're unsure whether we operate in your area, contact us and we’ll confirm availability.

Q: Can you provide the service on weekends?

A: Yes. We offer cleaning services from Monday to Saturday. Sunday bookings are possible in some cases, depending on availability and may involve a surcharge.

Q: How much does it cost to add carpet cleaning?

A: We offer discounted rates when carpet cleaning is added to end of tenancy cleaning. The exact price depends on how many rooms are carpeted and their condition. You’ll receive the full quote before confirming the booking.

Q: How long does it take for carpets to dry after cleaning?

A: Carpets usually dry within 8 to 12 hours after steam cleaning. We recommend avoiding walking on them during this period to prevent re-soiling or fibre deformation.

Q: What’s the difference between end of tenancy cleaning and one-off cleaning?

A: End of tenancy cleaning follows a strict checklist and is designed to meet letting agent standards. One-off cleaning is more general, without a guarantee, and is usually used for spring cleaning or occasional refresh.

Q: Can landlords charge for end of tenancy cleaning?

A: Yes. If the property is not cleaned to the standard required by your tenancy agreement, the landlord may deduct the cost of professional cleaning from your deposit. Some landlords also require an invoice as proof.

Q: Why should I pick your company over others?

A: We deliver checklist-based end of tenancy cleaning tailored to London’s rental standards. Our service includes all equipment, a 72-hour re-clean guarantee, and flexible booking - designed to help you pass the inspection and get your full deposit back.

Q: How clean should the property be before the tenancy cleaning starts?

A: The property should be emptied of personal belongings and rubbish. While pre-cleaning isn’t required, properties in extremely poor condition may affect duration or cost. If unsure, feel free to send us photos for review.
