End of Tenancy Cleaning in Greenwich
At Greenwich Carpet Cleaners, we provide detailed, reliable end of tenancy cleaning across Greenwich and the surrounding areas. As long-standing local cleaning professionals, we understand exactly what landlords, letting agents and inventory clerks expect during a final checkout.
Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Explained
End of tenancy cleaning is a deep, top-to-bottom clean aimed at bringing the property back to a presentable, hygienic standard, ready for new occupants or a checkout inspection. We follow detailed checklists aligned with common UK tenancy requirements, focusing on:
- Thorough kitchen and appliance cleaning
- Bathroom descaling and sanitising
- Full dusting, wiping and polishing of all surfaces
- Deep vacuuming and hard-floor cleaning
- Spot treatment of carpets and soft furnishings (where agreed)
Our team uses professional-grade equipment and products chosen for both effectiveness and safety. We work methodically through each room so nothing is missed.
Local Greenwich Expertise
We are a locally based company, regularly cleaning properties in Greenwich, Blackheath, Charlton, Deptford, Woolwich and nearby areas. Because we work with a number of local landlords and agents, we are familiar with the standards required in this part of London and the typical issues that lead to deposit deductions, such as:
- Limescale build-up in bathrooms and on taps
- Grease on extractor fans and oven interiors
- Stained carpets in high-traffic areas
- Dust on skirting boards, door frames and light fittings
Our local experience means we know where to focus, and we can often work to tight London moving schedules, including same-day or short-notice appointments when our availability allows.
Who Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling your home in Greenwich, a professional clean helps present the property at its best for viewings, surveys and handover. We can work around removal teams and key exchange times, ensuring the property is left clean and fresh for the new owners.
Renters & Students
Tenants and students rely on our cleaning to help protect their deposits. We focus on the main areas that agents flag during checkout and provide a detailed clean that is usually far more thorough than a standard domestic clean. We can work from your check-in inventory if you have one.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We support landlords and managing agents with reliable, repeatable move-out and pre-let cleaning. Whether you manage a single flat or a portfolio of properties, we can tailor a cleaning plan to your requirements and provide consistent standards, before and between tenancies.
Businesses & Commercial Clients
For offices, studios, and commercial spaces in Greenwich, we offer end of lease cleaning to prepare for dilapidation checks or handover to landlords. This can include carpet cleaning, hard floor care and detailed kitchen and washroom cleaning, scheduled to minimise disruption.

Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or via our website. We will ask a few simple questions about the property: size, number of rooms, flooring types, and any specific concerns. Using this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually on the same day.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most standard properties, a detailed virtual survey (photos or video) is sufficient. For larger or more complex jobs, we may recommend an onsite visit. This allows us to assess the condition of carpets, bathrooms and kitchen appliances, and to confirm any extra services you may need. The survey ensures accurate pricing and realistic time estimates.
3. Preparation
We agree a date and time that fits around your move. Ideally, the property should be empty or nearly empty. On arrival, our trained, professional cleaners walk through the property, confirm your priorities and then protect any delicate surfaces as needed. We then work systematically room by room until the entire clean is completed and checked.
Transparent Pricing
Our pricing is based on property size, current condition and any additional services required (such as carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning). We provide:
- Fixed quotes for standard properties, not hourly estimates
- Clear breakdown of what is included
- No hidden charges for basic materials and equipment
Larger or heavily soiled properties may require more time and resources, which we will always explain before booking. Our aim is to offer fair, competitive rates while maintaining a thorough, professional standard of work.
Why Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Beats DIY
Many tenants start by trying to clean the property themselves, only to find it takes far longer and more effort than expected. Professional cleaning offers several advantages:
- We use commercial-grade products and equipment for better results
- Our cleaners follow structured checklists so nothing is overlooked
- We understand common checkout issues and focus on those areas
- You save time and energy at an already stressful point in your move
While DIY cleaning can work for lightly used properties, most tenancies benefit from a thorough, professional approach to minimise disputes over cleanliness and deposits.
Insurance and Professional Standards
For your peace of mind, Greenwich Carpet Cleaners is fully insured and committed to professional working practices.
Goods in Transit Insurance
Where we transport any of our own equipment or temporarily move light furnishings to access areas for cleaning, this is covered under appropriate goods in transit insurance, ensuring your property and our equipment are protected while on the move.
Public Liability Cover
We carry comprehensive public liability cover, protecting you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury linked to our work. Details of our policy can be provided on request, and we are happy to share proof of cover with landlords, agents or building managers if required.
Trained Cleaning Teams
All our cleaners are trained in safe use of chemicals, correct handling of equipment and careful working in tenanted and managed properties. New team members work under supervision until they meet our internal standards. We also keep up to date with best practice in hygiene, stain treatment and surface care.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care to protect the property while we work. That means:
- Using appropriate products for each surface to avoid damage
- Working carefully around fixtures, fittings and remaining belongings
- Ventilating rooms where stronger cleaning agents are needed
Where possible, we choose low-VOC, effective products and avoid unnecessary chemical use. We aim to minimise waste, use microfibre cloths and maintain our equipment to operate efficiently. This approach helps us deliver a high standard of cleanliness while reducing environmental impact.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Greenwich cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size and condition of the property and whether you add extras such as carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning. We usually quote a fixed price once we know the number of rooms, bathrooms and flooring types, and have seen photos or carried out a short survey. Smaller flats are typically at the lower end of the scale, while larger or heavily used properties may cost more due to the time involved. All quotes are free and come with a full breakdown of what is included.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?
We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings in Greenwich, especially outside the very busiest moving periods. Availability will depend on existing commitments and the size of your property. If you require urgent cleaning, contact us as early as possible and let us know your checkout deadline. We will be honest about what we can realistically achieve and may suggest a focused clean on the most critical areas if time is very limited. Wherever possible, we prioritise urgent move-out cleans to help meet inspection dates.
Are you insured in case something gets damaged?
Yes. We are fully insured with both public liability cover and relevant goods in transit insurance for our equipment and any light items we may need to move. While incidents are rare, insurance is there for everyone’s peace of mind. Our team works carefully and follows clear procedures to reduce risk, including using suitable products for each surface and reporting any existing damage before we start. If you or your landlord need proof of insurance, we are happy to provide documentation in advance of the clean.
What exactly is included in your end of tenancy cleaning service?
Our standard service is a full deep clean of the property’s interior: kitchen, bathrooms, living areas, bedrooms, internal windows, skirting boards, doors and floors. We degrease worktops and appliances (external as standard), descale bathrooms, dust and wipe all reachable surfaces, and vacuum or mop throughout. Additional services like carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, oven deep cleaning and internal fridge/freezer cleaning can be added on request. Outdoor areas, garages and significant rubbish removal are not included unless specifically arranged during the quotation.
How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy clean?
To secure your preferred date and time, particularly at the end of the month or during peak moving periods, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. This gives us time to arrange any survey, confirm access details and coordinate our team with your moving schedule. However, we understand that moves do not always go to plan. If you are working to a tight deadline or a last-minute date from your landlord or agent, contact us and we will do our best to fit you in, even at short notice.
