• Kitchen cleaning – degreasing hob, extractor, splashback, cleaning oven exterior and interior, cupboards inside and out, worktops, tiles, sinks and taps, skirting boards and floors.
• Bathroom and WC cleaning – descaling showers, screens, tiles and taps, cleaning baths, basins and toilets, polishing mirrors, wiping cupboards and mopping floors.
• Living areas & bedrooms – dusting all accessible surfaces, wiping skirting boards, doors and handles, cleaning light switches and sockets, removing cobwebs, cleaning internal windows and frames, hoovering and mopping hard floors.
• Appliance cleaning – wiping fridge (inside and out), microwave, dishwasher exterior, washing machine door and detergent drawer.

We bring all equipment and materials, including professional-grade detergents, degreasers and limescale removers, so you don’t have to provide anything on the day.

Who Our End of Tenancy Cleaning in Brixton Is For

Renters Protecting Their Deposit

If you’re a tenant moving out of a flat or house in Brixton, our detailed clean is tailored to common check-out requirements. We focus on the areas that typically cause deposit deductions, such as ovens, limescale build-up, skirting boards and internal windows.

Homeowners Preparing to Sell or Let

For homeowners, an end of tenancy style clean is ideal before viewings or new tenants move in. A thoroughly cleaned property photographs better, smells fresher and gives buyers or tenants confidence that the home has been well maintained.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We work with landlords and local agencies across Brixton to provide consistent, ready-to-let cleans between tenancies. We can align our checklist with your preferred inventory format and offer regular support for portfolio landlords.

Businesses & Commercial Tenants

For offices, studios and small commercial premises, we provide end of lease cleaning tailored to your building and lease obligations. We focus on common areas, kitchens, toilets, carpets (if requested) and touch points to ensure a smooth handover back to the landlord.

Students in Shared Accommodation

Shared houses and student flats often need a coordinated clean before everyone moves out. We can handle full-house cleans, including communal areas and agreed bedrooms, to help avoid disputes and deductions.

What Is Excluded from Standard End of Tenancy Cleaning

To keep pricing clear and fair, some tasks are not included as standard but can often be added by request:

• Carpet and upholstery steam cleaning – available as an additional service if staining or heavy soiling is present.
• External window cleaning and cleaning of external areas such as gardens, balconies and garages.
• Deep oven cleaning of heavily soiled appliances requiring dismantling or specialist chemicals.
• Rubbish removal and bulky waste clearance – property must be cleared of personal belongings and rubbish before we start.
• Painting, repairs and handyman work such as filling holes, fixing blinds or replacing lightbulbs at height.
• Cleaning of areas unsafe or inaccessible without special equipment (e.g. high external windows, roof spaces).

If you are unsure whether something is included, we will clarify it during the quote stage so there are no surprises on the day.

Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Transparent Quote

Contact Cleaners Brixton by phone, email or our online form with basic details: property size, number of bathrooms, condition, location in Brixton and move-out date. We use this information to provide a clear, itemised quote. Prices are fixed for the information provided, with any optional extras listed separately so you can choose what you need.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most standard properties, photos or a short video are enough for a virtual survey. For larger or unusual properties, we may recommend a brief onsite visit. This helps us assess the level of soiling, identify any extra tasks you’d like to add and plan the right team size and duration. It also reduces the risk of revisions on the day.

3. Preparation Before We Arrive

To achieve the best result, the property should be empty of furniture and personal items where possible. Fridge and freezer should be defrosted, and cupboards cleared. If you need to leave a few items, we can work around them, but the clean is most effective in an unfurnished or nearly empty space. On the day, our trained cleaning team arrives with all equipment and materials, walks through the property with you if you are present, and then works systematically room by room.

Local Expertise in Brixton

We are a Brixton-based company, familiar with the expectations of local landlords, housing associations and estate agents. From period conversions around Brixton Hill to newer developments near the station, we understand the quirks of local properties: high ceilings, original floorboards, delicate fixtures and compact kitchens and bathrooms.

Our cleaners know the local area well, which helps us offer reliable arrival times and, where possible, short-notice or same-day appointments. Being local also means we can quickly return if anything needs attention following an inventory check.

Pricing: How We Charge for End of Tenancy Cleaning

We aim to keep pricing straightforward and transparent. Typical pricing is based on:

• Property size (studio, 1-bed, 2-bed, etc.) and number of bathrooms.
• Condition of the property and level of soiling or grease/limescale build-up.
• Any optional extras requested, such as carpet cleaning or deep oven cleaning.

We provide a fixed price in advance, covering labour, all cleaning products and equipment. There are no hidden charges for travel within Brixton. For larger jobs or commercial premises, we may price on a visit-based or hourly basis with a minimum charge, clearly agreed before booking.

Why Use Professional End of Tenancy Cleaners Instead of DIY

Doing the clean yourself can seem cheaper, but there are important differences:

• Standards – we work to detailed checklists based on landlord and agent expectations, reducing the risk of cleaning-related deposit deductions.
• Time – a proper end of tenancy clean can take many hours. Our teams bring enough people and equipment to complete it efficiently in one visit.
• Equipment – we use professional products and tools that deal with grease, limescale and ingrained dirt more effectively than most household products.
• Accountability – if anything is missed, you can refer us back. We are a professional, fully insured company, not a one-off arrangement.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

Cleaners Brixton operates with full UK-compliant cover for our work:

• Public liability cover – to protect you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during the clean.
• Goods in transit insurance – where we transport any cleaning equipment or materials, these are protected while en route.
• Trained cleaning teams – our staff receive practical training in safe product use, correct cleaning methods for different surfaces and health & safety procedures.

We also carry out right-to-work checks and, where required, background checks. Supervisors monitor quality and support newer team members, ensuring a consistent standard across all jobs.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every property as if it were our own. Surfaces are checked before we select products, and delicate finishes are cleaned with appropriate, non-abrasive solutions. Protective materials such as shoe covers and dust sheets are used where necessary to avoid marking freshly cleaned floors or walls.

Where possible, we choose eco-conscious products that are effective yet lower in harsh chemicals, particularly for general surfaces and floors. We minimise water and energy waste by planning work efficiently and using modern, well-maintained equipment. Any packaging and empty containers from our supplies are recycled through appropriate local streams whenever possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Brixton cost?

Pricing depends mainly on property size, number of bathrooms and current condition. A small studio requires less time than a large family home, and heavily soiled properties take longer than well-maintained ones. We provide a fixed quote once we know the basics and, if needed, after seeing photos or conducting a brief survey. The price includes our team, all cleaning products, equipment and insurance. Optional extras such as carpet cleaning or deep oven cleaning are itemised separately so you can decide what you need.

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

We regularly help clients with short-notice cleans in Brixton, especially around busy moving periods. Same-day or next-day appointments are often possible, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. If your move-out date is fixed, contact us as early as you can and we’ll advise on availability and realistic timeframes. For urgent bookings, having photos and clear information ready helps us quote quickly and send an appropriately sized team so the work can be completed in time for your check-out inspection.

Are you insured if something is damaged during cleaning?

Yes. Cleaners Brixton is a fully insured company. We hold public liability cover to protect you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during our work. Our equipment and materials are also protected under goods in transit insurance while being transported. Our cleaners are trained to work carefully and to report any issues immediately. If something does go wrong, we follow a clear procedure to investigate, put things right where possible and liaise with our insurers where necessary.

What exactly is included in an end of tenancy clean?

A standard end of tenancy clean covers all main rooms: kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, hallways and internal staircases. We dust, wipe and disinfect surfaces, clean kitchen units and worktops, descale bathrooms, clean internal windows and frames, skirting boards, doors, light switches and floors. Basic appliance cleaning is included, such as fridge and oven interiors (subject to condition). What isn’t included as standard are specialist services such as carpet steam cleaning, external window cleaning, rubbish removal and repairs, though many of these can be added at extra cost if requested in advance.

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

Ideally, book as soon as you know your move-out date, particularly during busy times such as the end of the month or student changeover periods. One to two weeks’ notice usually gives the best choice of time slots. However, we understand that moves can change at short notice, so we always try to accommodate late enquiries where our schedule allows. The key is to ensure the property will be mostly empty by the time we arrive so we can work efficiently and finish before any inventory or check-out inspection.
