Who Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Is For

Renters & Students

If you are renting a flat, house share or student accommodation, a proper checkout clean can make the difference between a full deposit return and a costly deduction. We focus on the areas that typically trigger disputes – kitchens, bathrooms, appliances and carpets.

Homeowners

When selling your home, a thorough clean helps you hand the property over respectfully to the buyers and can support a smooth completion. We can work after your removals team has finished, leaving the place clean, tidy and ready for the new owners.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We support landlords and agents who need a reliable, repeatable professional cleaning service between tenancies. Our detailed approach helps reduce void periods and ensures the property is presented to a standard that attracts quality tenants.

Businesses & Commercial Tenants

We also carry out end of lease cleaning for offices, studios and small commercial units in Kennington. We can combine carpet cleaning, hard floor cleaning and general deep cleaning to meet your lease obligations and prepare for handover.

Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or online with basic details: property size, number of bathrooms, type of flooring, location in Kennington and your move-out date. We provide a clear, fixed quote based on this information, with any optional extras listed separately. There are no hidden charges; the price you accept is the price you pay, as long as the property description is accurate.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most homes and flats, a virtual survey using photos or a short video call is sufficient. For larger or more complex properties, we may suggest an onsite survey. This helps us assess access, parking, the condition of carpets and appliances, and any specific requirements from your landlord or agent. It means we can arrive properly prepared, with the right equipment and team size.

3. Preparation Before We Arrive

To get the best result, the property should be empty of personal belongings and as clear as possible. Fridges and freezers should be emptied and defrosted, and cupboards cleared. If you need help coordinating with your removals company, we can advise on timing so that cleaning follows the move-out smoothly and there is minimal disruption to you.

4. The Cleaning Day

Our trained team arrive on time with all equipment and products. We start with kitchens and bathrooms, then work systematically through each room. We protect any remaining items, work carefully around fixtures and fittings, and keep noise and disturbance to a minimum, especially in shared buildings. Once finished, we can walk you through the property where practical.

Transparent Pricing – How We Charge

We price end of tenancy cleaning mainly by property size, number of bathrooms and the level of work required. Flats in Kennington with good upkeep will cost less than larger or heavily soiled properties. Optional extras such as professional carpet cleaning or oven deep cleaning are itemised so you can decide what you need.

All quotes are fixed in advance and include labour, equipment and standard materials. Any parking charges or congestion-related costs are clearly discussed before booking. We do not increase prices on the day without your agreement.

Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Over DIY

While it is possible to clean a property yourself, there are several reasons many tenants, landlords and agents in Kennington opt for a professional service:

• We use commercial-grade equipment and products that achieve a deeper, more consistent finish.
• Our teams follow thorough checklists based on common agent and landlord requirements.
• We understand how to deal with tough limescale, grease and odours efficiently.
• You save significant time and effort at an already stressful point in your move.
• A professional invoice can help demonstrate that you have taken reasonable steps to return the property clean.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

Kennington Carpet Cleaners operates with robust cover and standards to protect you and your property:

• Public liability cover – for your peace of mind in the unlikely event of accidental damage while we are working.
• Goods in transit insurance – where we transport any of our equipment or your agreed items, they are protected whilst in our care.
• Trained cleaning teams – our staff receive practical training in safe product use, correct cleaning methods and property care.

We work respectfully in every property, whether it is a small studio or a large family home, and we are happy to coordinate with landlords, agents or inventory clerks where required.

Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability

We take care to protect fixtures, fittings and any remaining belongings while we work. Floors are cleaned using methods appropriate to the surface, and we avoid abrasive products where they could cause damage. Where suitable, we choose products that are effective yet considerate of indoor air quality and environmental impact.

Equipment is regularly maintained to ensure efficient operation and reduced waste. By helping extend the life of carpets and surfaces through correct cleaning, we also support a more sustainable approach to property maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Kennington cost?

Pricing depends mainly on property size, number of bathrooms and the current condition. A small one-bedroom flat will usually cost less than a larger family home or a property that has not been cleaned regularly. Optional extras such as carpet cleaning and professional oven deep cleaning are charged separately and clearly shown on your quote. Once we have the basic details, we provide a fixed price so you know exactly what you will pay, with no hidden extras added on the day.

Can you do same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleans?

We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings in Kennington, especially outside the busiest moving periods. If you have an urgent checkout or an inventory inspection scheduled, contact us as soon as possible with your timeframes. We will let you know our earliest availability and what is realistically achievable. When working at short notice, our priority is to focus on the areas most likely to be checked by landlords and agents, ensuring you still receive a thorough and reliable clean.

Are you insured while working in my property?

Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover and appropriate goods in transit insurance for the equipment and items we handle. Our trained teams follow safe working practices to minimise any risk of damage, but in the unlikely event that something goes wrong, you are protected. Details of our insurance cover can be provided on request, and we are happy to confirm this directly with landlords or letting agents if they need reassurance before the clean takes place.

What exactly is included in your end of tenancy cleaning service?

Our standard service covers a full deep clean of kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas and hallways. This includes internal windows (where safely reachable), cupboards and wardrobes (empty), skirting, doors, light switches and sockets, as well as thorough vacuuming and mopping of floors. Kitchen appliances are cleaned externally and internally where specified. Optional upgrades, such as carpet cleaning, oven deep cleaning and upholstery cleaning, can be added when you book. We provide a clear checklist for your specific property before we start.

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

Ideally, you should book as soon as you know your move-out date and inventory inspection time. This allows us to schedule your clean for the most suitable day – usually after removals have finished but before keys are returned. For peak periods, such as month-end and university term changes, earlier booking helps ensure we can offer your preferred slot. That said, we do keep some flexibility for last-minute moves, so if your plans change suddenly, it is still worth getting in touch.
