Planning the clean

Agree the rooms, access and timing before the visit

Clarify the flat inside a converted building

A Brixton property may share its entrance or staircase with other homes. Confirm the private doorway, floor and authorised rooms; communal surfaces need separate permission.

Coordinate with anyone still living there

If one tenant remains, agree when shared kitchens and bathrooms are available. The tenancy clean should not disturb possessions outside the departing person’s area.

Prepare storage and appliances

Clear cupboards that need internal cleaning and leave utilities connected. Add oven cleaning only when the interior has been selected and cooled.

Preparing for handover

Keep extras, keys and the final check straightforward

Protect the final route

Finish removals before cleaners start, then avoid carrying boxes across completed floors. Review the rooms before returning keys.

Choose one-off work for a different need

Where no tenant is leaving, one-off cleaning can provide a deep reset without a handover schedule.

Room-by-room handover plan · Brixton

A practical end of tenancy checklist for Brixton

Plan the cleaning after removals and before the inspection, leaving enough time for wet surfaces to dry. In Brixton, tell the booking team whether cleaners will work in an empty, partly furnished or still-occupied property. Confirm the written scope before attendance: the checklist guides the inspection, while the accepted quotation controls what the team will complete.

Kitchen

  • Degrease suitable worktops, splashbacks, hob parts, the sink and taps without treating damaged finishes as cleanable soil.
  • Remove crumbs from plinths and accessible appliance edges, then vacuum before damp-mopping a compatible floor.
  • Clean listed appliance exteriors and confirm oven, fridge, freezer or dishwasher interiors as named additions.
  • Finish high ledges and extractor surfaces before lower cabinets so loosened dust is not left on completed worktops.

Bathroom

  • Work around sanitary bases and door edges without dismantling fixed fittings or disturbing failed sealant.
  • Use finish-appropriate products; natural stone, acrylic, chrome and painted surfaces require different handling.
  • Leave blocked drains, broken fittings and mould embedded in damaged silicone for maintenance rather than cleaning.
  • Ventilate the room and inspect grout, screens and mirrors after droplets have cleared.

Bedrooms

  • Clean storage interiors only when completely empty; cleaners should not decide which belongings to discard.
  • Work around retained furniture and move only light items that can be handled safely and returned correctly.
  • Treat rugs, upholstery and stain removal as separate services with their own material assessment.
  • Dust accessible ledges, wardrobes, frames, radiators externally and skirting before floor work begins.

Living rooms

  • Check skirting, window ledges and the edges behind open doors, which are easily missed during a quick centre-room pass.
  • List sofa, armchair, rug or curtain treatment separately because ordinary surface cleaning does not include extraction.
  • Dust reachable shelving, picture rails, lamp surfaces and the outside of radiators before cleaning the floor.
  • Wipe tables, suitable cabinet fronts, doors and handles while leaving fragile display items for the customer to remove.

Hallway

  • Keep the final exit route usable while hard floors dry and agree where keys will be returned.
  • Dust bannisters, reachable corners, frames and skirting, then clean the route towards the exit last.
  • Wipe the internal entrance door, intercom surface, handles and switches where these can be cleaned safely.
  • Vacuum stairs and landings from the upper level down, keeping keys and fobs away from liquids.

Extras and boundaries for this handover

No cleaner should improvise electrical, plumbing or maintenance work during a tenancy-cleaning appointment. Cleaning can improve presentation but cannot reverse worn coatings, chipped surfaces or permanent discolouration. If required, name oven cleaning, carpet cleaning, upholstery treatment, external windows or waste removal as separate lines rather than assuming they are included.

For the Brixton address, record what stays furnished, which cupboards are empty and who will provide access. Cupboard and drawer interiors are workable only after they have been emptied, and a cleaner cannot judge whether an unlabelled possession should be kept or discarded.

A final check before the keys leave

Complete removals first and keep contractors out of finished rooms, especially after carpets or hard floors have been treated. Raise blinds, open empty cupboards and use safe lighting during the final check, while recording existing damage separately.

Starting prices and labour guide · Brixton

End of tenancy cleaning prices and time guidance in Brixton

A fair estimate separates routine room cleaning from appliance interiors, extraction work and unusual access arrangements. For Brixton, the current Alesta guide starts at £195 for a studio or one bedroom, £265 for two or three bedrooms, and £345 for four bedrooms or an extended layout.

Property sizeGuide priceSuggested cleaning team
StudioFrom £1951 cleaner
1 bedroomFrom £1951 or 2 cleaners
2 bedroomsFrom £2652 cleaners
3 bedroomsFrom £2652 or 3 cleaners
4+ bedrooms / extended layoutFrom £345At least 3 cleaners recommended

What shapes the confirmed price

  • Empty appliance interiors can be assessed; stocked fridges and freezers cannot be cleared by assumption.
  • After-builders dust or hazardous residue belongs to a different scope from a normal tenancy handover.
  • Photographs of kitchens and bathrooms help the booking team identify unusually heavy soil before arrival.

Local planning note · Brixton

Estate blocks, mansion flats and terraces each need a distinct access note. Check lift or stair use, entry systems and whether common hallways fall outside the tenancy.

Planning estimate only. The confirmed quote and duration follow the actual rooms, condition, access and extras.

Planning a realistic working window

One cleaner · 2 hoursAs a Brixton planning example, a compact priority zone may be completed when possessions are removed and no specialist treatment is included.
One cleaner · 3 hoursWithin a prepared Brixton property, several prepared rooms at routine condition may be covered; only a genuinely small, light-soil flat could be finished.
One cleaner · 4–5 hoursFor this Brixton time band, a prepared studio or one-bedroom may fit, but appliances, scale, furnishings and filled storage extend the work.
One cleaner · 6–8 hoursWhen estimating the Brixton visit, a detailed one-bedroom or compact two-bedroom layout may be possible with clear access and ordinary condition.
Beyond 8 hoursOn the Brixton booking plan, larger or heavily soiled homes need a longer visit or more cleaners; two cleaners for four hours equal eight labour-hours.
One cleaner · 1 hourFor the Brixton schedule, one clear bathroom, selected kitchen surfaces or a short touch-up list may be realistic—not a whole-property handover.

Questions before booking

End of tenancy cleaning questions from Brixton customers

Does the service follow a room-by-room checklist?

The core work can cover the home’s agreed internal areas, while specialist treatments and inaccessible items are identified separately. Empty storage and clear surfaces make the agreed checklist easier to complete.

Can I get a property-specific quote for Brixton?

Starting rates are £195 for a studio or one bedroom, £265 for two or three bedrooms, and £345 for the largest listed band. Bathrooms, condition, furnishings, access and selected extras determine the confirmed quotation.

Is professional carpet extraction available as an extra?

Professional carpet extraction can be requested separately when the fibre and condition are suitable. Do not assume every permanent mark can be removed safely.

What is the best order for removals, cleaning and inspection?

Arrange the appointment early enough for agreed surfaces and flooring to dry before the clerk attends. Keep one authorised contact available until completion.

What information is needed to check a short-notice slot?

An urgent enquiry needs the full address, room and bathroom count, condition, access details and required extras. Mention any non-negotiable key-return deadline at the start.

Can tenants, landlords and letting agents all book the service?

An agent can coordinate the visit when the property details, keys and decision-making contact are clear. Any addition must be approved through the booking contact.

Tell us the address, room count, condition, access arrangement and handover date.
