End of Tenancy Cleaning in Swiss Cottage NW3 with Fixed Prices
End of tenancy cleaning in Swiss Cottage NW3 starts at £156 including VAT. The base service includes professional cleaning materials and the oven interior. A 72-hour re-clean is available for an eligible item missed from the confirmed scope, but no cleaning company can promise a deposit or inspection result.
The bedroom band is only the price starting point. Confirm every bathroom, WC, reception, study, utility area, private staircase and fitted storage space. Furnished properties also need a list of items that will remain and restrict access to floors, walls or cupboards.
Remove personal belongings, food, packaging and loose rubbish before the appointment. Empty the cupboards and appliance interiors included in the clean, let the oven cool and safely defrost cold appliances with enough time to manage water.
DBS-checked cleaners carry £1,000,000 public liability cover for the booked work. The inventory, check-in photographs, repair history and final report remain the evidence used in a tenancy decision; cleaning does not reverse wear or property damage.
Send current photographs when grease is carbonised, limescale is heavy, smoke or decorating residue is present, or a sensitive material could restrict treatment. The office can then confirm the fixed band, additions, exclusions and access plan.

Swiss Cottage End of Tenancy Cleaning Checklist
Use the inventory headings to map the cleaning route before the team arrives:
- Kitchen: cooled oven, hob, extractor exterior, empty cupboards and agreed appliance interiors, plus counters, splashback, sink, taps, fronts, edges and compatible flooring.
- Bathrooms and WCs: reachable sanitaryware, shower or bath, glass, mirrors, fittings, suitable tiles, extractor covers and floor. Responsive scale can be treated; damaged sealant, grout and metal require maintenance.
- Bedrooms and receptions: accessible ledges, frames, radiators, switches, sockets, doors, handles and skirting boards, followed by vacuuming or the correct hard-floor method. Empty storage before internal cleaning.
- Private halls and stairs: declare every route within the tenancy. Shared lobbies, lifts and landings are not automatically included in the bedroom price.
- Internal windows: safe room-side glass, frames and sills belong in the base scope. Exterior panes, balconies and unsafe heights require a separate assessment.
Carpet vacuuming is standard. Machine extraction is optional at £27 for a studio or one bedroom, £32 for two bedrooms, £35 for three and £42 for four. Confirm fibre suitability and the lift or stair route for equipment.

How to Prepare a Swiss Cottage Property for the Move-Out Clean
Before the team
Finish removals, take out waste and empty booked cupboards and appliances.
Finish removals, take out waste and empty booked cupboards and appliances.
During the clean
Keep utilities on and protect uninterrupted access to every declared room.
Keep utilities on and protect uninterrupted access to every declared room.
After completion
Allow carpet drying, inspection access and a practical 72-hour reporting route.
Allow carpet drying, inspection access and a practical 72-hour reporting route.
Place cleaning after removers, decorators and repair contractors. Later drilling, furniture collection or repeated shoes through the property can change finished floors and surfaces before the checkout.
Keep hot water, electricity and working lights available. Make internal windows reachable and identify scratches, chips, failed seals or faulty appliance controls as existing condition before treatment begins.
Machine-cleaned carpet needs ventilation and a protected drying period. Keep luggage, removers and furniture off damp fibres, then arrange the final walk-through and key return after the team completes the booked work.
Test every key, fob and gate code before the appointment. If a porter controls contractor access, reserve the correct window and explain who can authorise continued entry once the tenant has left.
If a valid omission is reported within 72 hours, the office needs evidence and renewed entry. Avoid releasing all access immediately when the inspection is scheduled later.
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: The clean follows a checklist built around what inventory clerks actually score at London check-outs, shaped by years of cleaning for tenancy handovers. That covers appliances inside and out, limescale-prone areas, and the hidden zones that trigger most deductions. Oven cleaning and VAT are in the fixed price, and a 72-hour re-clean stands behind the work.
Q: Do you offer any guarantee for the service?
A: Yes. Every end of tenancy clean carries a 72-hour re-clean. If the check-out report or your landlord flags an item covered by the agreed checklist within 72 hours of completion, the team returns and re-cleans it free of charge, subject to access. This is the only guarantee we offer, and it applies to end of tenancy cleaning only.
Q: What happens if the final inventory inspection fails?
A: If the report cites a cleaning item on the agreed checklist and it is raised within the 72-hour window, we re-clean the affected areas at no extra cost. Most flagged items are resolved in a single focused visit. Refunds are not offered; the re-clean is how the result gets corrected before the deposit conversation goes any further.
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 once the full checklist is covered, whatever the clock says.
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: Please arrange parking within 50-150 metres of the property. If a permit is needed, sort it in advance. Where only paid parking is available, parking and congestion charges are covered by the client. Keys or codes can be logged with the booking if you cannot be there.
Q: What time slots are available for cleaning?
A: 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 run Monday to Saturday, and slots fill 1-2 weeks ahead in busy moving months, so book once your check-out date is set.
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 lifts loose surface dust but leaves a film on the slats. Deep cleaning means taking the blinds down where the fitting allows, soaking and wiping slat by slat, and drying before rehanging. Check-out reports photograph blinds against daylight, which is why the film shows even when the room looks clean.
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: A landlord cannot require you to pay for professional cleaning - the Tenant Fees Act 2019 banned mandatory cleaning fees and clauses. What a landlord can do is claim from the deposit if the property is returned less clean than the check-in inventory records. That is why the practical standard is the inventory report, and why a checklist-based clean with an invoice settles most disputes before they start.
Q: Why should I pick your company over others?
A: Fixed prices with VAT and oven cleaning included, a published room-by-room checklist built to the inventory standard, vetted and insured cleaners with £1,000,000 public liability cover, and a 72-hour re-clean tied to the check-out report. The aim is simple: give your deposit its best chance and keep the handover short.
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.

Swiss Cottage End of Tenancy Access, Parking and Key Return
Send the full Swiss Cottage NW3 address, building name or number, flat, floor and exact entrance. Include working intercom, gate, fob, key-safe or porter instructions and one contact who can solve an access problem at the agreed time.
Clarify which stairs and landings belong to the tenancy and which are communal. For a managed block, confirm the lift, service door, contractor hours and any restriction on carrying carpet equipment through the main lobby.
Camden’s CA-R controlled zone covers Swiss Cottage streets, but bay types and times vary. Check the sign beside the intended bay and current council information. A permit does not create an available space, and a loading stop is not parking for a full move-out clean.
Arrange a lawful option through the working period and equipment collection. Activate any visitor or phone payment before the cleaners start. If keys are held elsewhere, add both collection and return journeys to the handover schedule.
Traffic around Finchley Road, Avenue Road and Eton Avenue can change arrival time. Share known road works or building deliveries and keep the handover contact available until the team is inside.

£198
Two bedrooms

A two-bedroom clean with its carpet option totals £264. A four-bedroom booking with carpet extraction totals £391. These combined figures make the addition visible before confirmation.
The bedroom band covers the base cleaning route, but it cannot describe an undeclared second reception, extra WC, private stairway or large furnished area. State these spaces before accepting the quote so the confirmation reflects the actual tenancy rather than a simplified property label.
Photographs should match the current condition, especially inside the oven, around bathroom scale and beside remaining furniture. If the layout, furnishing or soil level materially changes the work, the office agrees an adjustment before extra tasks proceed.

*The prices are inclusive of VAT.
When Swiss Cottage End of Tenancy Cleaning Needs a Custom Quote
Request an individual quotation when the property has five or more bedrooms, several private floors, a basement, multiple kitchens, unusually large receptions, many bathrooms or extensive built-in joinery. A non-standard room called a study, media room or utility space still belongs on the property map.
Photograph thick oven carbon, severe mineral deposits, smoke residue, pest contamination, renovation dust and heavy areas hidden behind remaining furniture. Condition evidence helps distinguish the fixed clean from restoration or specialist risk.
Flag stone, parquet, sealed timber, lacquer, wool, plated metal and any surface with previous damage. The method must respect the finish; additional heat, moisture or agitation cannot safely solve every mark.
Waste removal, repairs, exterior elevations, unsafe access, hazardous material, structural mould treatment and restoration are outside the base service. Add carpet extraction as a separate confirmed option rather than assuming it from the inventory wording.
Managed-building restrictions may also affect the quote. Provide the exact service entrance, lift dimensions, porter hours, key route and lawful parking plan alongside the size, condition and requested date.

Swiss Cottage 72-Hour End of Tenancy Re-Clean Process
The 72-hour window begins when the cleaning visit ends. Report a suspected omission within that period with the room, exact surface and clear observation. Photographs should show the point in context as well as the detail.
The office checks the report against the confirmed property map, base inclusions, oven service and any carpet extraction purchased. An authorised return corrects an eligible cleaning item from that record; it does not add a room, exterior area, repair or unbooked treatment.
Keep the booking confirmation, invoice and relevant inventory or checkout extract. Submit evidence before occupants, movers, contractors or another cleaner alter the area, and retain a workable key route for a possible revisit.
Wear, damage, new dirt, abandoned belongings, maintenance defects and communal areas outside the booking do not become re-clean tasks. A deposit decision can depend on broader tenancy evidence, so Samyx does not guarantee its return.
Plan a sensible gap before final key release. When the flat or building can no longer be entered, even a valid reported point may be impossible to inspect and address within the stated period.
