A strong end of tenancy clean starts with evidence, not a generic list of rooms. Use the check-in inventory, any landlord or agent cleaning checklist and the confirmed Samyx scope to identify the standard that will actually be inspected. The property should already be cleared for handover so internal storage, agreed appliances, reachable internal glazing and floor edges can be treated.
Before the visit, sort every concern into the correct category. This prevents cleaning time being spent debating an old scratch, failed sealant or optional treatment that was never booked.
Classify the inspection point
Core clean: removable dust, grease, scale and marks on included reachable surfaces
Optional treatment: carpet extraction or another add-on that must be selected separately
Condition: wear, scratches, discolouration or permanent staining that cleaning cannot reverse
Maintenance: failed sealant, damaged paint, defective appliances or unsafe access needing repair
Samyx fixed prices start at £156 for a studio, including VAT. Oven cleaning and materials are part of the agreed core booking; carpet extraction can be added by property size. If a listed cleaning point is missed, the 72-hour route provides a defined way to report it.
No cleaning company controls the deposit decision. The service addresses removable dirt within the booked scope; the inventory and check-out process decide how cleaning, condition, damage and maintenance are recorded.
Start with the documents you already have. Mark the room and surface named in the check-in record or current checklist, then note what will be accessible on cleaning day. A phrase such as “kitchen units clean” becomes an actionable brief only when the cupboards and drawers are empty and open normally.
Record pre-existing condition separately. Photograph scratched floors, chipped sanitaryware, worn paint, failed sealant and condensation trapped between sealed panes before cleaning begins. These details matter because a cleaner can remove surface residue but cannot restore a damaged finish.
Identify optional treatments without burying them in the general notes. Standard carpet vacuuming belongs to the core clean; machine extraction is an add-on. External glazing and unsafe high access are outside the normal internal-window scope. A fridge or freezer interior must be empty and safely defrosted before it can be cleaned.
Keep electricity, hot water and working lights available. Complete removals, repairs and contractor work first, because later traffic can introduce dust and marks after the cleaning evidence has been created.
Finally, attach the exact arrival route. A Paddington Basin apartment may require reception registration, a fob or a booked lift. A conversion off Sussex Gardens or Westbourne Terrace may have a less obvious residential entrance or floor. The map should tell the team where to enter, what to inspect and which items are condition rather than cleaning.
In the kitchen, the inspection usually turns on visible residue and closed spaces: grease at the oven, hob and extractor; crumbs or marks inside empty units and drawers; scale around the sink and taps; and streaks on worktops, splashbacks or appliance fronts. The team follows the booked scope and checks the surfaces again after degreasing.
Bathroom evidence is often easier to judge after drying. Scale on taps and shower glass, residue on sanitaryware, marks on mirrors and dust at reachable extractor covers are cleaning points. Mould inside failed sealant, corrosion, chips and discolouration that remains within the material need to be recorded as condition or maintenance.
In living rooms and bedrooms, the brief should identify reachable frames, ledges, radiators, switches, sockets, skirtings and internal window faces. Empty wardrobes and included storage are checked internally. Where a check-in photograph shows an existing wall mark or floor scratch, keep that reference with the handover record.
Floors are reviewed after higher surfaces are complete. The core clean includes vacuuming; optional extraction treats embedded carpet soil only when booked. Hard floors are cleaned for their material, but abrasion, failed coatings and permanent staining cannot be polished away as ordinary dirt.
The final review should answer three questions for every noted issue: was the surface included, was it safely accessible, and was the point removable by cleaning? That creates a clearer handover than a claim that every imperfection belongs to the cleaner.
The fixed core prices are £156 for a studio, £198 for a one-bedroom property, £232 for two bedrooms, £267 for three bedrooms and £349 for four bedrooms, including VAT. Five-bedroom and unusual properties require an individual quote. The core booking includes the oven, materials and the agreed room-by-room EOT checklist.
Optional carpet extraction adds £27 for a studio, £27 for one bedroom, £32 for two bedrooms, £35 for three bedrooms and £42 for four bedrooms. A one-bedroom clean with carpet extraction is therefore £225, and a three-bedroom clean with carpet extraction is £302.
Provide the true bedroom and bathroom count, property state, carpet areas, internal glazing and access conditions. If the property is still occupied or materially different from the description, the office may need to change the service or agree a revised scope before work begins.

All cleaning materials and equipment are included in the final price. Every end of tenancy booking carries a 72-hour re-clean: if the check-out report flags an item on the agreed checklist, the team returns and puts it right at no charge. |

A modern Paddington Basin apartment can look simple while containing many separate inspection points: integrated appliances, glossy cabinetry, multiple bathrooms, fitted storage and large internal glass faces. Fingerprints, grease, scale and dust are removable cleaning evidence; scratches in gloss finishes, damaged seals and defects inside appliances are not.
A conversion near Praed Street, Sussex Gardens or Westbourne Terrace can create a different evidence problem. Deep sills, alcove radiators, secondary glazing and compact storage add edges that may not appear in the room count. Older paint, worn flooring and moisture between sealed panes should be recorded before the clean so their age is not confused with fresh residue.
Access also belongs in the record. Note which internal window faces open safely, which fitted units are included and which heavy items cannot be moved without risk. In a managed building, keep the reception or lift instruction with the arrival details; in a conversion, specify the entrance and floor.
This is not a lower standard for older property or a different standard for new property. It is a more accurate way to judge the same booked clean: compare removable dirt on included accessible surfaces while keeping wear, damage and maintenance in their proper category.
If the check-out report identifies a cleaning item within the agreed scope, send it within 72 hours of the completed service. Include the room, exact surface, wording from the report and a clear image where possible. This lets the office match the request to the checklist rather than interpret a general complaint.
The re-clean applies to covered cleaning points. It does not turn wear, damage, inaccessible areas, external glazing or an optional service that was not booked into a cleaning omission. Carpet extraction, for example, must have been selected if the report concerns embedded carpet soil rather than ordinary vacuuming.
Keep the invoice, agreed scope and relevant check-out extract together. They show what service was booked, the condition reported and the specific item to revisit. Avoid sending unrelated maintenance points in the same request.
The 72-hour re-clean is a service correction route, not a deposit-back promise. The landlord or deposit process decides the financial outcome. Samyx can address a valid listed cleaning item and provide a clear record of what was completed.
