Cleaning is the single most common deposit dispute

It comes up more than damage, more than rent arrears and more than anything else. Not because tenants don't clean, but because a normal thorough clean and an inventory clerk's checklist are two very different things.

The clerk checks inside the oven, behind the fridge, the top of the door frames, the extractor filter, the window tracks, the limescale under the taps and the inside of every kitchen cupboard. Miss a handful of those and the deduction comes off the deposit.

We clean to that checklist because we've read it. Whether you're a tenant protecting a deposit, a landlord preparing for the next let, or an agent who needs a property turned round before viewings start, the standard is the same and the price is fixed in advance.

What gets cleaned

Everything on the clerk's list

01

Kitchen, properly

Oven cleaned inside including racks, trays and glass. Hob, extractor and filter degreased. Inside and outside of every cupboard, behind and under appliances where they move.

02

Bathrooms descaled

Limescale off taps, showerheads and screens. Grout scrubbed, tiles polished, extractor cleaned, and everything sanitised rather than just wiped.

03

The bits people forget

Door frames, skirting boards, light switches, sockets, radiators, window tracks, sills and the tops of doors. This is where deductions come from.

04

Carpets and floors

Vacuumed throughout and mopped where appropriate. Professional carpet cleaning available as an add-on where the tenancy requires it.

05

Photo report

A full set of photos on completion, timestamped. Useful evidence if a deduction is disputed later.

06

48-hour re-clean

If the agent or landlord flags anything within 48 hours, we come back and put it right at no charge. It's rare, but the guarantee matters.

Questions

Good to know

Will this get my deposit back?

We clean to the standard inventory clerks inspect against, and we back it with a 48-hour re-clean guarantee. We can't control how the rest of the property was left, but the cleaning won't be what costs you.

Do I need to be there?

No. Most jobs are done with a key collected from the agent or left in a key safe. We'll send photos when we're finished.

Does the property need to be empty?

Yes, please — furniture is fine, but personal belongings and rubbish need to be out. We can't clean inside cupboards that are still full.

How long does it take?

A one-bed flat is usually half a day, a three-bed house most of a day. We price by the job, so if it takes longer than expected the price doesn't change.

Do you clean carpets?

Professional carpet cleaning is an add-on rather than part of the standard clean. Tell us if your tenancy requires it and we'll include it in the quote.
