To keep pricing clear and fair, some tasks are not part of our standard end of tenancy cleaning service but can often be added on request:

- Removal of rubbish, unwanted furniture or large items

Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details: property size, number of bathrooms, location in West Hampstead, preferred dates and any extras you may need. Based on this information and our experience, we provide a clear, no‑obligation quote. Where necessary, we’ll ask a few extra questions to ensure we understand the condition of the property and any particular concerns.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most standard flats and houses, a detailed phone or virtual survey with photos is sufficient. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend an onsite visit. The aim is to confirm access, parking, surface types and any heavy build‑up of dirt or limescale so there are no surprises on the day. This step helps us allocate the right number of professional cleaners and the correct equipment.
3. Preparation Before We Arrive
We ask that the property is emptied of personal belongings and rubbish, and that fridges and freezers are defrosted in advance. This allows our team to work efficiently and achieve the best possible result. If you need help with minor preparation, let us know at booking stage and we will advise what is feasible.
4. The Cleaning Day
Our trained team arrives within the agreed time window with all products and equipment. We work systematically through each room using our end of tenancy checklist, paying attention to high‑inspection areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, skirting boards, switches and corners. On completion, we can walk through the property with you (or provide photos if you are not present) to confirm the standard.
Transparent Pricing
Our pricing is based primarily on property size and condition, not on vague hourly estimates. Typical factors include:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Type of property (studio, flat, maisonette, house)
- Overall condition and level of build‑up
- Optional extras such as appliance deep cleaning or carpet cleaning
We provide a clear written quote before work begins, so you know exactly what is included and what the final cost will be. There are no hidden surcharges for standard West Hampstead locations, and any parking costs are discussed in advance.
Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Over DIY
Attempting an end of tenancy clean yourself can be time‑consuming and stressful, especially when you are in the middle of a move. Professional cleaners bring:
- Experience of what landlords and inventory clerks actually look for
- Commercial‑grade products and equipment for stubborn grease and limescale
- Structured checklists to avoid missed areas that may affect your deposit
- Efficient, team‑based working that saves you hours
Using a professional, fully insured service such as Cleaners West Hampstead can significantly reduce the risk of deposit deductions and disputes at check‑out.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your property and belongings are protected while we work. We maintain:
- Public liability cover for work carried out in your home or business premises
- Goods in transit insurance for equipment and materials we bring on site
- Trained cleaning teams who follow clear safety and quality procedures
All team members are briefed on product usage, surface compatibility and safe working practices. We treat each property with care, whether you are a tenant moving out of a small studio or a landlord with a large portfolio in West Hampstead.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We clean thoroughly while respecting surfaces and the environment. Our approach includes:
- Choosing effective products that are suitable for the specific material (e.g. stone, wood, laminate)
- Using microfibre systems to reduce the need for harsh chemicals
- Minimising water and product waste wherever possible
- Ventilating rooms appropriately while we work
Where practical, we use lower‑impact cleaning solutions without compromising on hygiene standards, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms where hygiene is essential.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost in West Hampstead?
Costs vary depending on the size and condition of the property, along with any extras you choose such as professional carpet cleaning. As a guide, a small one‑bed flat will usually cost less than a larger multi‑bedroom house with several bathrooms. We price each job individually after a short discussion or virtual survey, so you receive a clear, fixed quotation before confirming the booking. There are no hidden fees, and any additional charges such as parking are always discussed upfront.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?
We understand that moves do not always go to plan and sometimes you need an urgent clean at short notice. Where our schedule allows, we can offer same‑day or next‑day appointments in West Hampstead and nearby areas. Availability depends on the size of the property and our existing bookings, so contacting us as early as possible gives the best chance of securing an emergency slot. If we cannot meet your preferred time, we will always suggest the nearest available alternative.
Are you insured in case something is damaged during cleaning?
Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover and goods in transit insurance, and our cleaners are fully briefed on safe working practices. While incidents are rare, it is important that you have peace of mind when we are working in your property. If anything does go wrong, we follow a clear, honest process for reporting and resolving the issue. We also encourage you to point out any delicate or high‑value items before we start so we can take additional care.
What is included in your end of tenancy cleaning service?
Our standard service covers a full deep clean of the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas and hallways. This includes surfaces, cupboards, internal windows, skirting boards, switches, and a thorough vacuum and mop of all floors. We focus on the areas most commonly checked by landlords and inventory clerks, such as ovens, tiles, taps and sanitary ware. Specialist tasks like machine carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning or exterior windows are not included as standard but can often be added to your booking on request.
How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy clean?
To secure your preferred date and time, especially at busy periods such as month‑end, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. This allows us to schedule the right team size and ensure everything is properly planned for your move‑out. However, we do hold some flexibility for shorter‑notice bookings, particularly on weekdays. If your move date is not fixed yet, you can still contact us for an indicative quote and provisional availability, then confirm once your check‑out date is agreed.
Do I need to be present during the cleaning?
You do not have to be present for the entire cleaning, provided we can gain access and you have removed personal belongings. Many clients meet us to open the property, then return at the end for a quick check, or arrange key collection via their agent. If you prefer to stay, that is absolutely fine as well. We only ask that corridors and rooms are kept as clear as possible so our cleaners can work efficiently and complete the job within the agreed time.
