End of Tenancy Cleaning Greenwich

Tenants, landlords and agents often mean slightly different things by “end of tenancy cleaning”. We avoid that confusion by agreeing the rooms, appliances, furnishings and deadline for your Greenwich property in writing before the visit.

  • Property details reviewed before booking
  • Optional services shown separately
  • Access and key return agreed in advance
  • Clear quotation before the visit

Planning the clean

Agree the rooms, access and timing before the visit

The room list for the Greenwich address begins with one practical fact: the Greenwich booking reflects the condition after removals. It should also explain whether the Greenwich return recipient has been named in advance. From there we can confirm the everyday kitchen, bathroom and living-area work covered by the end of tenancy clean, without treating every property of the same size as identical.

Access to the Greenwich property should be confirmed before the cleaners set out. Check that the Greenwich return recipient has been named in advance and provide one named contact if keys come from an agent or concierge. The return instruction should also support the fact that the nominated contact understands the agreed exclusions at the Greenwich address.

Kitchen surfaces are easiest to finish once the Greenwich booking reflects the condition after removals. For the Greenwich quotation, explain whether carpet extraction is named for the relevant rooms for the Greenwich booking and leave appliances cool and safe to access. Our specialist oven cleaning is available when the interior, racks and removable parts need focused work.

For a furnished move-out in Greenwich, it is particularly important that the Greenwich return recipient has been named in advance. Drawers and wardrobes can be cleaned inside only when empty, and the Greenwich booking reflects the condition after removals. This protects possessions while keeping the room plan realistic.

Preparing for handover

Keep extras, keys and the final check straightforward

Two Greenwich homes with the same number of bedrooms can require different amounts of work. The quotation changes when the Greenwich booking reflects the condition after removals, when the Greenwich return recipient has been named in advance, or when carpet extraction is named for the relevant rooms for the Greenwich booking. We would rather price those facts clearly than offer a low headline figure that does not match the visit.

The clean should sit between removals and the final Greenwich handover. Because the nominated contact understands the agreed exclusions at the Greenwich address, choose a start time that leaves completed floors free from later traffic. The duration also depends on whether the Greenwich booking reflects the condition after removals and how the current condition compares with the photographs.

Related services are useful only when they match the Greenwich property. Because the nominated contact understands the agreed exclusions at the Greenwich address, the tenancy clean remains the main booking; general one-off cleaning is a different option for occupied homes that are not changing tenants.

A practical end of tenancy checklist for Greenwich

Walk through the cleared home in daylight and note grease, scale, carpet marks and inaccessible areas before booking. For this Greenwich clean, list areas that cannot be reached safely and do not assume heavy furniture will be moved. Confirm the written scope before attendance: the checklist guides the inspection, but the accepted quote defines the booked work.

Bathroom

  • 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.
  • Wash the basin, WC, bath and shower, then dry suitable taps and glass so remaining scale is visible.

Bedrooms

  • 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.
  • Wipe suitable doors, handles, switches and socket faces without attempting paint repair or electrical work.

Living rooms

  • 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.
  • Clean internal glass that can be reached safely and finish mirrors without leaving wet edges or smears.

Hallway

  • 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.
  • Protect the completed entrance from movers, luggage and repeated foot traffic before inspection.

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.

Optional work and practical limits

Heavy furniture, connected appliances and unsafe high-level areas remain in place unless a different method is agreed. No cleaner should improvise electrical, plumbing or maintenance work during a tenancy-cleaning appointment. If required, name oven cleaning, carpet cleaning, upholstery treatment, external windows or waste removal as separate lines rather than assuming they are included.

The Greenwich checklist should show the final condition after removals, not how the rooms looked during packing. 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

Photograph the oven, empty storage, bathrooms and each finished room in good light, keeping the images with the dated inventory. Give the authorised contact the room list and exclusions before keys change hands so late additions do not disrupt the booking.

Starting prices and labour guide · Greenwich

End of tenancy cleaning prices and time guidance in Greenwich

Layout matters alongside size: extra wet rooms, stairs and utility spaces add surfaces even when the bedroom count stays unchanged. For Greenwich, 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

Why a quotation can change

  • Accumulated oven grease or thick limescale requires a different allowance from routine dust and fingerprints.
  • Remaining furniture reduces access and increases careful work around edges without authorising heavy lifting.
  • Carpet extraction needs equipment setup, material checks and drying time beyond ordinary vacuuming.

What one cleaner may complete by time

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

Questions before booking

End of tenancy cleaning questions from Greenwich customers

What does an end of tenancy clean usually cover?

The service is based on a written room-by-room scope covering agreed, reachable surfaces in kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and living areas. Send recent photographs if any room has heavy soil or an unusual finish.

How will my Greenwich cleaning quotation be calculated?

The published figures are starting prices: £195 for a studio or one bedroom, £265 for two or three bedrooms, and £345 for four bedrooms or an extended scope. An extra bathroom, utility room or reception space can add work even when the bedroom count is unchanged.

Can stains be treated before the inventory check?

List every carpeted room and share details of visible marks when asking for the additional treatment. The written scope should identify exactly which rooms are included.

When is the clearest time for the final walkthrough?

Keep a practical gap between completion and key return so the finished scope can be reviewed. Confirm where keys must be left before the cleaners arrive.

How far ahead should I book the cleaning?

Do not rely on next-day or same-day availability without direct confirmation from the booking team. Do not omit extras merely to secure a time that may be unrealistic.

Do you accept bookings from property managers as well as tenants?

A landlord may book after the property is vacated, provided access and the inspection timetable are confirmed. Choose one contact who can answer questions during the appointment.

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