End of Tenancy Cleaning

Moving out is stressful enough without worrying about the checkout inspection. Our End of Tenancy cleaning is cleaned to the standard letting agents, landlords and inventory clerks expect, giving you the best possible chance of getting your full deposit back. Whether you are a tenant reaching the end of a tenancy, a landlord preparing to re-let, or an agent getting a property ready for viewings, we leave the property in the condition the next occupants should find it.

What's included

End of Tenancy cleaning includes everything in our deep cleaning service, plus additional attention to the areas checkout inspections focus on most.

Kitchen - thoroughly cleaned

Your kitchen receives intensive attention to meet letting agent standards:

• Inside one oven - removing grease, burnt-on food, and grime (additional ovens available as an extra)

Meeting checkout standards

The clean is designed around what inventory clerks and letting agents actually check. Many landlords and agents require a professional clean before returning a deposit, and our service is built to meet that requirement. We can provide before and after photos for your records or to share with your landlord if a deduction is later disputed.

Empty vs furnished properties

Empty properties are quicker to clean thoroughly as we have full access to all areas without furniture in the way. If your property is still furnished, we'll work around your belongings, but please note this may take longer. Let us know whether your property is empty or furnished when booking so we can allocate the right amount of time.

What's NOT typically included

The following tasks are not usually part of an End of Tenancy clean but may be available as extras:

• Exterior window cleaning
• Carpet shampooing or steam cleaning
• Upholstery cleaning
• Packing or unpacking belongings
• Garden or outdoor cleaning
• Washing dishes or tidying away personal items

Ideal for

End of Tenancy cleaning is perfect for:

• Tenants reaching the end of a tenancy who need to secure their deposit
• Landlords preparing a property between tenants
• Letting and estate agents managing changeovers
• Homeowners selling and preparing the property for new owners

Duration

End of Tenancy cleans typically take 4 to 8 hours depending on the size and condition of the property. Empty properties generally take less time than furnished ones. Larger properties or those that haven't been cleaned in a while will take longer. We'll discuss timing when you book to ensure we allocate enough time to do a thorough job.

Booking your End of Tenancy clean

When booking, let us know whether the property is empty or furnished and its size. If you have a specific deadline (e.g., a checkout inspection), please mention this so we can prioritise accordingly. If you have any questions about what's included, contact our team at support@servella.co.uk.
