Local Expertise in Soho and Central London

Working daily in Soho and nearby areas, we are very familiar with central London flats, mansion blocks, warehouse conversions and compact studio spaces. We understand:

How to work efficiently around limited parking and access restrictions
Managing loading and unloading in busy streets with minimal disruption
The standards required by local letting agents and corporate landlords
How to handle older buildings and delicate finishes with care

Because we are genuinely local, we can often offer short notice appointments and practical arrival times that fit around check‑out inventories and key handovers.

Who Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Service Is For

Homeowners

Whether you are selling your Soho property or moving into your next home, a professional clean leaves the place presentable for viewings or new occupants. It also helps protect fixtures, fittings and surfaces that may be part of a sale.

Renters and Tenants

If you are reaching the end of your tenancy, our service helps you meet the cleaning obligations in your tenancy agreement and supports a smooth return of your deposit. We work to agent‑approved checklists and can liaise with your landlord or agent if needed.

Landlords and Letting Agents

We regularly work with landlords and agents needing reliable, repeatable cleaning between tenancies. A thoroughly cleaned property is easier to market, photographs better and sets expectations for incoming tenants. We can also provide ongoing periodic cleaning for managed properties.

Businesses and Offices

We offer end of lease cleaning for offices, studios and small commercial premises in Soho. This includes deep cleaning of workspaces, kitchens, WCs and communal areas so you can hand back the property in an acceptable condition under your lease terms.

Students and Flat Shares

Shared student houses and flat shares often come with strict move‑out conditions. We are used to working around multiple rooms, different move‑out dates and tight budgets, helping everyone meet their individual obligations fairly.

Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or online form with a few details about the property: size, number of rooms, flooring types and any particular concerns. We will provide a clear, itemised quote, outlining what is included and any optional extras you may wish to add. There are no hidden charges; all costs are agreed in advance.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most properties, we can assess your needs via photos, video or a virtual walk‑through. For larger or more complex jobs, we may recommend a brief onsite survey. This allows us to check access, parking, condition of carpets and any special requirements so we can allocate the right equipment and team.

3. Preparation

Before the cleaning day, we confirm arrival time, access instructions and parking arrangements. Ideally, the property should be empty of furniture and personal belongings so we can clean thoroughly. On arrival, our trained, professional cleaners walk through the property, note any delicate areas, and then start work systematically room by room.

Transparent Pricing – How We Charge

We price our end of tenancy cleans mainly by property size, layout and condition, with clear rates for commonly requested extras such as carpet cleaning and oven cleaning. Factors that influence price include:

Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
Type of flooring and level of soiling
Presence of pets or smokers
Access difficulties or parking restrictions

All quotes are provided in writing and itemised, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. We do not increase the price on the day unless the scope of work changes significantly, and any adjustment is always discussed with you first.

Why Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Beats DIY

Cleaning thoroughly enough to satisfy an inventory clerk can be demanding and time‑consuming, especially when you are in the middle of moving. Our professional service offers several advantages over doing it yourself:

We use commercial‑grade equipment and professional detergents suited to carpets, hard floors and delicate finishes.
Our cleaners follow detailed checklists that align with local landlord and agent expectations.
We spot issues that are easy to miss when you are busy, such as limescale build‑up, marks on skirting or fingerprints on switches.
Using a fully insured, professional company provides reassurance to landlords and can help minimise disputes.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a responsible cleaning company, we operate with comprehensive cover and trained teams:

Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to the property or third‑party injury.
Goods in transit insurance – covering our equipment and any items we transport as part of the job.
Trained moving teams – staff are fully briefed on handling furniture, cleaning equipment and fragile surfaces safely.

Our cleaners are reference‑checked, trained to follow health and safety procedures, and supervised to maintain consistent standards. We are happy to confirm our insurance details and provide documentation on request.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every property as if it were our own. On arrival, we assess which areas require extra protection, for example:

Using corner protectors and care when moving equipment
Choosing appropriate cleaning products for stone, wood and delicate surfaces
Spot‑testing new solutions on hidden areas before full use

Where possible, we select low‑odour, environmentally responsible products that still deliver a thorough clean. We avoid unnecessary waste, dose chemicals correctly and rinse surfaces properly, helping to protect both the property and the people moving in.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Soho cost?

The cost depends on the size, layout and condition of the property, as well as which extras you choose, such as carpet cleaning or oven cleaning. For guidance, smaller studio or one‑bed flats are at the lower end of our price range, with larger multi‑bed properties costing more due to the extra time and labour involved. Once you provide basic details, we give a clear, fixed quote in writing, so you know exactly what to budget with no surprise charges on the day.

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

We understand that moves and check‑outs do not always go to plan, especially in central London. We keep some flexibility in our schedule for urgent or short notice bookings, including evenings and weekends where possible. Same‑day service will depend on the size of the property and team availability, but we will always do our best to help. Contact us as early as you can, and we will confirm realistically what we can offer and when.

Are you insured if something gets damaged during cleaning?

Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover and goods in transit insurance for our equipment and any items we transport. Our staff are trained to work carefully and methodically to minimise risk, but if something does go wrong, we have the appropriate cover to deal with it properly. We record and report any incidents immediately and work with you to agree a fair resolution. Insurance documentation is available on request for your peace of mind.

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

Our standard service includes a full deep clean of all rooms: dusting and wiping surfaces, skirting boards and sills; internal windows where accessible; thorough vacuuming; mopping hard floors; cleaning kitchen worktops, cupboards (inside and out), tiles and sinks; and descaling and sanitising bathrooms, including toilets, showers and baths. Extras such as oven cleaning, carpet cleaning, upholstery and appliance deep cleaning can be added to suit your tenancy agreement. Before booking, we provide a written checklist so you can see precisely what is covered.

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

Ideally, book as soon as you know your move‑out date, particularly during busy periods such as month‑end and summer. One to two weeks’ notice usually gives you the best choice of dates and times. That said, we regularly accommodate last‑minute bookings in Soho when our schedule allows. To avoid stress, we recommend arranging cleaning for the day after removal of your belongings and before the inventory, so we can work efficiently and you can hand back the property with confidence.
