Who Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Is For

Renters

If you are renting in Richmond, a proper end of tenancy clean is often a condition of getting your deposit back. We work to detailed checklists and are happy to liaise with your agent or landlord where needed, helping you avoid disputes over cleanliness.

Homeowners

Moving out of your home and selling or renting it on? A professional deep clean presents the property at its best for buyers or new tenants. Many of our Richmond clients book us between exchange and completion, or just before handover.

Landlords

We assist landlords preparing properties for new tenancies. Our team ensures the property is clean, fresh and ready for viewings or move-in, saving you time between lets and setting clear standards for incoming tenants.

Letting Agents and Property Managers

We work with local agents across Richmond who require consistent, reliable professional cleaning. Our teams are punctual, fully equipped and used to working to tight turnaround times between tenancies.

Students and Shared Houses

Student lets and HMOs in Richmond and surrounding areas often have strict end of tenancy requirements. We can clean entire shared houses or individual rooms, working around check-out inspections and key return deadlines.

What Is Excluded from Standard End of Tenancy Cleaning

To keep pricing fair and transparent, some items are not included as standard but can often be added at extra cost:

• External window cleaning above ground floor
• Carpet and upholstery steam cleaning (available as an extra)
• Professional oven dismantling or appliance repairs
• Cleaning of lofts, garages or outbuildings unless agreed
• Heavy rubbish removal, fly-tipping or garden clearance
• Severe mould remediation or biohazard cleaning
• Wall repainting or repair of damage (holes, stains, burns)

We always explain clearly what is and isn’t covered before you book, so there are no surprises on the day.

Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact Cleaners Richmond by phone, email or our online form with the property size, number of bathrooms, condition and your move-out date. We’ll ask a few straightforward questions and provide a clear, itemised quote. Our prices are fixed based on the information you give us, not by the hour, so you know exactly what to expect.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most properties, a short virtual survey using photos or video is enough for us to assess the work. For larger or more complex properties in Richmond, we can arrange an onsite visit. This allows us to identify any specialist cleaning needs, confirm access and parking, and agree any optional extras such as carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning.

3. Preparation

Before the cleaning day, we confirm your booking in writing and agree arrival times. You’ll need to ensure the property is mostly empty, with personal belongings and rubbish removed, and utilities (water and electricity) available. On arrival, our trained, professional cleaners walk through the property, confirm the plan with you and then work methodically through each room, checking off the agreed checklist.

Transparent Pricing for End of Tenancy Cleaning

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our end of tenancy cleans are usually priced by property size and configuration (studio, 1-bed, 2-bed, etc.), with separate rates for optional extras.

• No hidden charges – all labour, materials and equipment included
• Fixed price confirmed in advance based on your description/survey
• Optional add-ons clearly quoted (carpets, upholstery, external windows)
• Invoices provided for landlords, agents or business accounts

Because every property is different, we don’t publish a one-size-fits-all price list. Instead, we give you a tailored quote that reflects the actual work required, so you aren’t overpaying for a simple clean or under-quoting for a heavily used property.

Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Instead of DIY

End of tenancy cleaning is more detailed than a standard weekly clean. Landlords and agents in Richmond expect a professional level of finish, especially in kitchens and bathrooms.

• Time-saving – what might take you a whole weekend can be done in a few hours by an experienced team.
• Proper products and equipment – commercial-grade solutions and tools deliver a deeper clean without damaging surfaces.
• Experience with inspections – we know what inventory clerks and agents look for, and we clean accordingly.
• Reduced deposit disputes – a clearly documented professional clean helps avoid disagreements over cleanliness.
• Less stress – you can focus on your move while we take care of the property.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Richmond cost?

Pricing depends on the size and condition of the property, the number of bathrooms and any extras such as carpet or upholstery cleaning. We typically price per property (for example, studio, 1-bed, 2-bed) rather than per hour, so you know the full cost upfront. To give an accurate quote, we ask a few questions or review photos/video. There are no hidden fees – your quote includes labour, materials and equipment, with optional extras clearly itemised if you choose to add them.

Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?

We understand that moves do not always go to plan, and last-minute cleans are sometimes unavoidable. Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or next-day appointments in Richmond and nearby areas. Availability is best when you contact us early in the day and can be flexible on start time. For urgent bookings, we recommend calling rather than emailing so we can check team availability immediately and confirm whether we can meet your deadline.

Are you insured in case something gets damaged?

Yes. Cleaners Richmond is fully insured for your peace of mind. We carry public liability insurance to cover accidental damage or injury while we are working in your property. We also maintain appropriate goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials. Our teams are trained to work carefully and to report any issues immediately. While incidents are rare, you have the reassurance that there is proper cover in place and a clear process for resolving any problems.

What exactly is included in an end of tenancy clean?

An end of tenancy clean is a detailed, top-to-bottom clean of the whole property, focusing on areas that agents and landlords pay particular attention to. This includes deep cleaning the kitchen (units, appliances, tiles), bathrooms (descaling and sanitising), all rooms, skirting boards, internal windows, doors and fixtures. We vacuum and mop all floors and dust all reachable surfaces. External windows, carpet shampooing and upholstery cleaning are not included as standard, but we can add them at extra cost if required.

How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy cleaning?

Where possible, we recommend booking at least 5–7 days before your preferred date, especially during busy moving periods such as month-end and summer. This gives us the best chance of offering the exact time and day you want. However, we understand dates can change, so we do our best to accommodate shorter notice. Once your check-out or key handover time is confirmed, contact us with the details and we’ll advise on available slots and the most suitable timing for your clean.

Do I need to be at the property during the clean?

You do not have to stay on-site for the duration of the clean, provided we have agreed access arrangements in advance. Many clients in Richmond meet us to let us in, run through any particular points and then return at the end for a walk-through. Alternatively, we can collect keys from an agent or concierge if agreed. At the end of the clean, we can update you by phone or message and arrange key return as required, making the process as straightforward as possible.
