Our Step‑by‑Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with the property size, location in Rotherhithe, number of rooms and any specific requirements. We provide a clear, no‑obligation quote based on the information you give us, along with available dates and times that fit around your move.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most properties we can quote accurately from your description and, if helpful, photos or a short video. For larger or more complex jobs, we may recommend an onsite visit. This allows us to assess the condition of the property, carpets and appliances, and to confirm any extras such as carpet cleaning or oven cleaning. The aim is to agree the scope and price in advance.
3. Preparation and Cleaning Day
On the day, our professional, uniformed team arrive with all equipment, products and protective materials. We ask that the property is emptied of personal belongings and rubbish so we can work effectively. We then follow our agreed checklist room by room, paying particular attention to kitchens and bathrooms, and finally walk through to ensure everything has been completed to our standard.
Transparent Pricing
Our pricing is based on the size and condition of the property and the services you choose. We prefer to keep things straightforward, with fixed prices for typical property types (studio, one‑bed, two‑bed, etc.) and clearly listed costs for extras such as carpet cleaning or oven deep cleaning.
All quotes are itemised so you can see exactly what is included. There are no hidden charges for basic materials or equipment. If, during the survey, we believe additional time or work is required, we will tell you before confirming the booking so you can make an informed decision.
Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Over DIY?
DIY cleaning at the end of a tenancy can be time‑consuming and stressful, especially when you are balancing moving, work and other commitments. Our experienced teams know the areas that landlords and inventory clerks focus on – such as extractor fans, behind appliances and grout lines – and clean them thoroughly using the right products and equipment.
Professional cleaning can reduce the risk of disputes over cleanliness and help you avoid deductions from your deposit. It also saves you from purchasing a wide range of specialist cleaning products that you may only use once. For landlords and agents, it ensures a consistent standard across properties and speeds up the turnaround between tenancies.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Rotherhithe Carpet Cleaners operates with full public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to the property during cleaning. When we transport specialist equipment between jobs, it is covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance.
Our cleaning teams are fully trained in safe product use, stain treatment and working respectfully in other people’s homes. We follow clear health and safety procedures, carry out risk assessments where needed and aim to work quietly and efficiently so as not to disturb neighbours or building staff.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property as if it were our own. Floors and surfaces are protected where required, and we take care when moving light furniture or appliances to clean underneath and behind them. Particular attention is paid to delicate surfaces, worktops and fixtures to avoid scratching or damage.
Where practical, we use modern, low‑odour and biodegradable cleaning products that are effective yet kinder to the environment. Microfibre cloths and careful dosing of chemicals help us minimise waste. We are also happy to discuss any sensitivities or preferences you have regarding cleaning products before we start.
Local Expertise in Rotherhithe
Based in and around Rotherhithe, we know the local housing stock well – from riverside apartments and new‑build developments to older terraced properties and converted warehouses. This local knowledge allows us to anticipate common issues such as traffic marks on communal carpets, limescale build‑up from hard water and scuffing in high‑use areas.
We regularly work with letting agents and landlords in Rotherhithe, so we are familiar with their typical checkout expectations. Our aim is always to leave the property clean, fresh and ready for professional photography, viewings or immediate move‑in.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Rotherhithe cost?
The cost depends mainly on the size and condition of the property, plus any extras you choose such as carpet cleaning or oven deep cleaning. We usually work to fixed guide prices for studios and one‑, two‑ and three‑bed properties, with clear add‑on rates for additional rooms or services. Once we know your address, property type and requirements, we provide a written, no‑obligation quote so you can see exactly what is included before you book.
Can you do same‑day or urgent end of tenancy cleans?
We do our best to accommodate same‑day or short‑notice bookings in Rotherhithe, particularly during busy moving periods. Availability will depend on our schedule and the size of your property, but we will always be honest about what we can achieve within your timeframe. If we can attend the same day, we will confirm the estimated arrival window and scope of work; if not, we will offer the earliest suitable alternative and may suggest a partial service if that helps you meet your deadlines.
Are you insured if something is damaged during cleaning?
Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability insurance to cover accidental damage to fixtures and fittings during cleaning, and appropriate goods in transit insurance for the equipment we carry. While incidents are rare, having these policies in place gives peace of mind to tenants, landlords and agents. In the unlikely event that something does go wrong, we follow a clear reporting and resolution process and keep all parties informed at every stage.
What exactly is included in your end of tenancy clean?
Our standard service covers a thorough clean of all rooms, including dusting, vacuuming, mopping, internal windows, skirting boards, doors, kitchen units, worktops, sinks, hobs, bathrooms and WCs. Inside cupboards, wardrobes and drawers are cleaned once emptied, and we tackle limescale and general grease build‑up. Extras such as oven deep cleaning, carpet steam cleaning and upholstery cleaning can be added to match your tenancy requirements. Before booking, we provide a clear checklist so you know exactly what will be done.
How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy cleaning?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you know your move‑out date, especially at the end of the month or during peak moving seasons. One to two weeks’ notice usually gives us the best chance of offering your preferred day and time. That said, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we also hold some flexibility for last‑minute jobs in Rotherhithe. If your dates are not fixed, we can pencil in a provisional slot and confirm once your checkout is agreed.
