End-of-tenancy cleaning — Cleaning

Arrange the clean after belongings are removed and before the agreed handover inspection. Provide the property inventory or requested cleaning checklist so the cleaner knows whether ovens, glazing, cupboards and carpet treatment are included.

Service scope

End-of-tenancy cleaning is a defined clean of a property around occupant handover. Its scope follows the agreed rooms, fixtures and cleanliness checklist, while distinguishing dirt from wear or damage and avoiding any promise about a deposit decision.

What is normally included

  • Cleaning vacated rooms and accessible cupboards
  • Agreed appliance-interior cleaning
  • A documented handover checklist

What is not included

  • Guaranteed return of a tenancy deposit
  • Repair of wear, damage or broken fittings

Typical tasks

  • Clean empty accessible cupboards
  • Detail-clean kitchen and bathroom fixtures
  • Clean specified appliance interiors
  • Clean floors using material-appropriate methods
  • Record completed checklist items at handover

What to include in your brief

  • Property layout and room count
  • Handover checklist or inventory requirements
  • Vacant-property and key-access timing
  • Appliances and specialist cleaning requested
  • Photos of current condition and existing damage

Choosing the right professional

Compare like-for-like task lists, including any reattendance terms, rather than a deposit-return promise. Confirm the cleaner’s actual scope and keep existing damage separate from removable soiling.

Important considerations

  • Remaining belongings can prevent completion of the checklist
  • Cleaning does not resolve contractual disputes about wear or damage
