Provide details about your property, including size, condition, and moving date. We will give you a clear and accurate quote based on your requirements.

Transparent Pricing
Our pricing is straightforward and based on clear factors:

- Overall condition of the property
- Specific cleaning requirements
- Additional services such as carpet or appliance cleaning
You will always receive a detailed quote in advance, so you know exactly what is included and how much it will cost.
Why Professional Cleaning Is Better Than DIY
End of tenancy cleaning requires a higher standard than routine cleaning. Landlords and letting agents often carry out detailed inspections, and missed areas can lead to deductions from your deposit.
Our professional cleaning teams follow structured checklists and use effective equipment to achieve consistent results. This reduces the risk of issues during inspection and saves you time and effort during an already busy moving period.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate with full responsibility and care in every property we clean:
- Fully insured for all services carried out
- Public liability cover for customer protection
- Trained, professional cleaning teams with experience in tenancy cleaning
- Goods in transit insurance where applicable
Our team follows professional cleaning standards to ensure reliable and high-quality results.
Care, Protection, and Sustainability
We take care to protect your property during the cleaning process by using appropriate methods and equipment. Our team works carefully around fixtures and fittings to avoid damage while delivering a thorough clean.
Where possible, we use eco-conscious products that are safe for both occupants and the environment. Our approach focuses on effective cleaning with minimal environmental impact.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the property, its condition, and the level of cleaning required. Larger properties or those requiring additional services will typically cost more. At Tidy Up, we provide clear, upfront pricing based on your specific needs, ensuring there are no unexpected charges. You will receive a detailed quote before booking.
Do you offer same-day or urgent cleaning?
Yes, we aim to accommodate urgent and same-day bookings where possible. This is particularly useful for last-minute move-outs or unexpected changes to tenancy dates. Availability depends on demand, so we recommend contacting us as early as possible. We will always do our best to fit you into our schedule.
Is your end of tenancy cleaning service insured?
Yes, all our cleaning services are fully insured. We hold public liability insurance and ensure that all work is carried out by trained professionals. This provides peace of mind that your property is protected while we carry out the cleaning.
What is included in an end of tenancy clean?
Our service includes a full deep clean of the property, covering kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, and bedrooms. We clean surfaces, floors, internal windows, and fittings to a high standard. Additional services such as carpet cleaning can be arranged if required, and everything included will be clearly outlined in your quote.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least a few days in advance to ensure availability, especially during busy moving periods. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, and we will do our best to accommodate last-minute bookings where possible. Early booking helps secure your preferred date and time.
Do I need to be present during the cleaning?
No, you do not need to be present as long as access to the property is arranged in advance. Many customers prefer to leave keys or arrange entry with agents. Our team works independently and ensures the property is left clean and secure once the job is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions
When you book our end of tenancy cleaning, you get a methodical checklist approach: top-to-bottom dusting, detail work on fixtures, and a final quality check before we hand anything back. We've completed 1200+ local cleaning jobs, so we know what agents usually scrutinise - kitchen grime, bathroom limescale, skirting boards, and hard-to-reach corners. Our approach is built around proper equipment and careful ventilation, with photos taken before and after for reassurance. In short, it's professional deep cleaning designed to help you pass the inventory. Book your cleaner today.
For end of tenancy, regular home cleaning usually isn't enough. Agents expect deep cleaning results - especially where day-to-day cleaning hasn't removed built-up residue. Think oven/hob interiors, extractor hoods, grout lines, limescale around taps, and soap scum in showers. That's where professional cleaners focus their time using the right tools rather than harsh shortcuts. If you're unsure, tell us what's included in your tenancy agreement and we'll advise the closest match. We provide professional cleaning across London and nearby boroughs, tailoring the plan to your property size and condition.
We use professional-grade equipment and targeted methods for each area. In kitchens, we tackle grease with suitable degreasers, then wipe down cabinets, handles, and worktops to a consistent standard. In bathrooms, we address limescale and soap scum carefully so surfaces are cleaned without smearing. For carpets, we can arrange carpet cleaning using appropriate pre-treatment and extraction methods depending on fabric type and the stain history. Our cleaners follow UK hygiene and health & safety standards, and we keep everything organised so access stays simple during end of tenancy works.
You're right to ask. Our team is fully insured, DBS-checked, and trained cleaners - so you're not relying on ad-hoc help. We operate to the highest hygiene standards and follow safe working practices throughout the clean. That training shows in the details: edges, seals, switches, and behind-door recesses that tenants often miss. If you want an extra layer of reassurance, you can check feedback via verified reviews and platforms like Google Business Profile and Trustpilot. Rated 4.6 stars from 774+ verified reviews, with a steady reputation for getting properties inspection-ready.
Insurance matters because it covers accidents that could happen during access and cleaning - like minor breakages or damage. DBS checking is about safeguarding households, especially where cleaners may be working in private spaces unsupervised. Beyond that, we keep the process transparent: photos taken before and after, plus a clear scope so you know what we're responsible for. With over 11 years of professional cleaning services, we understand deposit-sensitive expectations. That's why we also follow UK hygiene and health & safety standards rather than cutting corners.
Timing depends on property size, condition, and how much preparation you've already done. A tidy, standard two-bedroom often needs less time than a heavily soiled property with lots of limescale or built-up cooking residue. We'll confirm an estimated schedule before we start, including how long key tasks like bathrooms, kitchen deep cleaning, and oven cleaning usually take. For tight deadlines, we'll do our best to fit you in - especially if you can provide access details promptly. Call our London team to discuss your checkout date and availability.
You don't always need to be there, but reliable access is essential. If you can't attend, we'll agree the safest handover method that works for you - whether that's a key collection arrangement or another agreed process. Our cleaners arrive prepared, work carefully around other tenants or neighbours, and keep disruption minimal. If parking is tricky, tell us the area and any local constraints and we'll advise the smoothest way to get set up. With photos before and after, you'll have peace of mind even when you're not onsite.
Pricing is usually based on property size, the scope you select, and the condition at the time of booking. We'll confirm exactly what's included - typically deep cleaning tasks for the kitchen, bathrooms, floors, skirtings, and high-touch areas - so there are no surprise inclusions. Costs can rise if the property needs extra time due to heavy stains, significant limescale, or extra items requiring attention. If you share photos or a short description, we can estimate more accurately. For London and nearby boroughs, we keep pricing straightforward - schedule your cleaning now for a clear quote.

We follow UK hygiene and health & safety standards throughout every end of tenancy clean. Where relevant, we align with best practice guidance such as SafeContractor principles - helping us manage risk, handle chemicals safely, and keep working areas organised. That means correct dilution, safe ventilation during strong tasks, and careful handling of shared areas in residential blocks. You also get clear communication about what we'll do and when, so there's less stress on checkout day. In short, the process is designed to be thorough, safe, and consistent - every time.
We can help you think through waste and recycling, but disposal rules depend on your borough's requirements and how much waste is left behind. In London, councils often require residents to sort recycling and send items to the correct streams through their local facilities - so it's best to confirm where your nearest collection point or recycling centre is. For example, different London Borough of areas have specific guidance for bulky items and mixed waste. If you tell us your borough, we can advise the most sensible next steps so you don't get stuck on checkout day.
Yes. We're proud of our track record: 1200+ cleaning jobs completed locally, with Rated 4.6 stars from 774+ verified reviews.
