Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with your property details: size, number of rooms, flooring types and any particular issues. We provide a clear, itemised quote based on the information you give us. Where possible, we’ll also ask about the expectations of your landlord or letting agent so we can tailor the clean accordingly.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For standard properties, a detailed virtual survey using photos or video is often sufficient. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend an onsite survey in Deptford. This allows us to assess the condition of carpets, bathrooms and kitchen, identify any heavy soiling, and confirm what is achievable within the agreed timescale and budget.
3. Preparation
We ask that the property is empty or as clear as possible before we arrive. Our team brings all equipment, products and protective materials required. On arrival, we walk through the property, confirm the scope with you or your representative, and then work systematically from top to bottom, room by room. At the end, we carry out a final check so nothing is missed.
Transparent Pricing Explained
Our pricing for end of tenancy cleaning in Deptford is based on:
- Size of property (number of bedrooms, bathrooms and reception rooms)
- Current condition and level of soiling
- Whether you require carpet cleaning and/or upholstery cleaning
- Parking and access arrangements
- Any additional services requested (oven deep clean, appliance interiors, etc.)
We provide a fixed price before work begins, so you know exactly what you will pay. There are no hidden extras – any optional additions are clearly listed. For managing agents and landlords with multiple properties, we can discuss regular rates.
Why Use Professional Cleaners Instead of DIY?
While it can be tempting to clean the property yourself, end of tenancy expectations are often higher than a normal domestic clean. Using a professional cleaning company brings several advantages:
- We use commercial-grade equipment and products that deliver deeper cleaning results
- Our trained teams follow detailed checkout-style checklists
- We know what inventory clerks typically look for and focus on those areas
- You save time and energy at an already stressful point in the move
- Professional invoices and reports can help resolve disputes over cleanliness
In many cases, the cost of a proper clean is less than a deposit deduction for inadequate standards.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Deptford Carpet Cleaners is a fully established local cleaning business. For your peace of mind, we hold:
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property while we work
- Goods in transit insurance for equipment and materials we bring to site
- Trained and vetted cleaning teams who follow clear procedures
All staff receive regular training in safe product use, surface care and correct cleaning methods. We work carefully to avoid damage and always aim to leave the property in a condition that reflects well on both you and your landlord or agent.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care to protect surfaces, fixtures and fittings throughout the clean. Where appropriate, we use floor protectors and colour-coded cloths to prevent cross-contamination between bathrooms, kitchens and living areas. Our cleaning solutions are selected to be effective yet safe for typical domestic surfaces, and we are steadily increasing our use of environmentally responsible products and methods.
Where there are existing marks, stains or wear that cannot realistically be removed, we will point these out so you can distinguish between pre-existing damage and new issues. Our aim is to leave the property clean, fresh and ready for the next occupants, with minimal environmental impact.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size and condition of the property, plus whether you add services such as carpet or upholstery cleaning. A small one-bedroom flat in average condition will naturally be less than a large family house needing intensive work. After a short discussion or survey, we provide a fixed, written price covering all labour, equipment and products. There are no hidden charges, and any optional extras, such as oven deep cleaning or appliance interiors, are clearly itemised in your quote.
Can you do same-day or urgent bookings?
We understand that moves do not always go to plan and last-minute cleans are sometimes needed. Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or next-day end of tenancy cleaning in Deptford. Availability is better on weekdays and outside peak moving periods. If you need an urgent appointment, contact us as early as possible with your move-out date, key collection time and property details, and we will do our best to fit you in or offer the closest suitable slot.
Are you insured while working in my property?
Yes. We are fully insured for the work we carry out. Our public liability cover protects you and your property should anything unforeseen occur during cleaning. We also hold goods in transit insurance for the equipment and materials we bring with us. Our cleaners are trained to work carefully and respectfully in all homes and commercial properties, following clear procedures to minimise risk. Copies of our insurance details can be provided on request for landlords, agents or block managers.
What exactly is included in an end of tenancy clean?
An end of tenancy clean is a detailed deep clean of the whole property, focusing on areas landlords and inventory clerks inspect most closely. This includes all rooms, surfaces, skirting boards, internal windows, kitchen units, worktops, hob, sink, and bathrooms, plus vacuuming and mopping throughout. Inside cupboards and drawers are wiped, and fixtures such as light fittings and switches are cleaned where accessible. Optional extras include carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning and oven deep cleaning. We agree the full scope with you in advance.
How far in advance should I book?
Ideally, book as soon as you know your moving date so we can secure a time that fits neatly between your removal and key handover. One to two weeks’ notice is usually enough outside very busy periods. Shorter notice is often possible, but flexibility on times may be required. When you contact us, provide your preferred date and any fixed appointment times with agents, inventory clerks or new tenants, and we will schedule the clean to give you the best chance of a smooth checkout.
