Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic property details: location, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, flooring types and desired date. We use this information to provide a clear, no-obligation quotation. Where needed, we will also ask about any extras such as carpet cleaning or professional oven cleaning so we can price accurately.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most standard properties, we can assess everything virtually from your description and, if helpful, photos or a short video. For larger or more complex jobs, we can arrange an onsite survey in Wandsworth. This helps us identify any problem areas, access issues or special requirements so we can allocate the right size team and enough time.
3. Preparation Before Cleaning
To deliver the most effective clean, we ask that the property is fully vacated where possible: furniture cleared where agreed, cupboards and appliances emptied, and personal belongings removed. Our team arrives at the agreed time with all tools, chemicals and equipment, carries out a quick walk-through, and then works systematically through the property before a final check.
Transparent Pricing
We price our end of tenancy cleaning in Wandsworth primarily by property size, layout and condition, with clear fixed prices agreed in advance whenever possible. Additional services such as carpet cleaning, mattress cleaning or deep oven cleaning are listed separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
There are no hidden charges for standard products, travel within our usual area, or weekend bookings agreed in advance. If the condition of the property is significantly different from what was described, we will always discuss any adjustment with you before proceeding.
Why Use Professional End of Tenancy Cleaners Instead of DIY
End of tenancy cleaning is very different from day-to-day housework. Landlords and agents usually work to detailed inventory checklists, and small missed areas can risk part of your deposit. As trained professionals, we know exactly where inspectors look: behind appliances, tops of cupboards, limescale around taps and shower screens, and edges of carpets.
We use commercial equipment and cleaning products that deliver deeper results than most off‑the‑shelf options, particularly on carpets and bathrooms. Just as importantly, we save you time and stress at what is usually a very busy point in the moving process.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Wandsworth Carpet Cleaners operates to high professional standards for your peace of mind. Our teams are directly employed or long‑term vetted contractors who are trained in safe product use, property care and customer service.
- Public liability cover for accidental damage to the property while we work
- Goods in transit insurance where we move or transport items as part of the service
- Method statements and risk assessments available for managing agents or commercial sites
We take responsibility for our work; if you or your landlord feel something within the agreed scope has been missed, we will return to address it wherever reasonable.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property as if it were our own. Floors, worktops and delicate surfaces are protected while we work, and we move furniture and appliances carefully where required. Our cleaning operatives are trained to check surfaces and finishes before using stronger products, especially on natural stone, wood and chrome fittings.
Where possible, we choose low‑odour, environmentally considerate products that are effective yet safer for people and pets once you move back in. We avoid unnecessary waste, dose chemicals accurately, and use microfibre systems to reduce water and product use, without compromising on hygiene or cleanliness.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Wandsworth cost?
Costs depend on the size, layout and condition of your property, plus any extras such as carpet cleaning or oven cleaning. As a rough guide, a small one‑bed flat will usually be at the lower end of our price range, with larger family homes priced accordingly. We provide clear, itemised quotations in writing before any work is booked, so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden charges for standard materials or travel within our usual Wandsworth catchment.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do offer same‑day or next‑day slots in Wandsworth for urgent moves, last‑minute check‑outs or failed inventory re-cleans. Availability will depend on the size of the job and how many teams we already have out on the day. If you need an urgent booking, call us as early as possible with your property details and deadline so we can check the diary and advise realistically. We will always be honest about what can be achieved in the time available.
Are you insured if something gets damaged during cleaning?
Yes. We are a fully insured cleaning company and take our responsibilities seriously. We carry public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to fixtures, fittings and surfaces while we work. Where items need to be moved or transported, we also have goods in transit insurance. Our teams are trained to handle furniture and appliances carefully and to test surfaces before using stronger products. In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, we will address it promptly and transparently.
What exactly is included in your end of tenancy cleaning service?
Our standard service covers a full deep clean of all living areas, bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms, including dusting, wiping, descaling, sanitising, internal windows, and thorough vacuuming and mopping. We clean inside kitchen units, wardrobes and appliances such as fridges and freezers, provided they are emptied and defrosted. Specialist services like carpet cleaning, mattress cleaning and full professional oven cleaning can be added as extras. Before booking, we send you a detailed list tailored to your property so you know precisely what will be done.
How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy clean?
To secure your preferred date and time, especially at the end of the month or during peak moving periods, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. This gives us time to schedule the right size team and to plan for any additional services like carpet or upholstery cleaning. However, we understand that moves can change at short notice, so we always try to accommodate late bookings where our diary permits. The more notice you give, the more flexibility we can offer.
