Local Expertise in Greenwich
Our team works across Greenwich and the nearby areas every day. We are familiar with the expectations of local letting agents, build-to-rent developments and private landlords, and adjust our service to match. From period houses near Greenwich Park to modern riverside flats, we know how to handle different property types, access arrangements and parking restrictions in the area.

Who Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Is For
Renters
If you are moving out of a rented property, our service is designed to help protect your deposit. We follow a structured checklist and focus on the areas most commonly flagged by inventory clerks, giving you the best chance of a smooth checkout.
Homeowners
When selling or moving between homes, a professional clean ensures the property is presented at its best for viewings or handover. We can coordinate with your move date so the property is cleaned after your belongings are removed.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We work with landlords and letting agents to prepare properties between tenancies. Our team can collect keys from local offices, work from your preferred checklist and provide invoices and reports for your records.
Businesses
For offices, studios and commercial units, we offer end of lease cleaning tailored to your agreement – including carpets, kitchens, washrooms and meeting rooms. We can liaise with building management to comply with access and security procedures.
Students
Shared student houses and halls often have strict checkout standards. We provide cost-effective group cleans, dividing the invoice between tenants if required, to help reduce disputes over cleaning deductions.
Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your property details: size, number of rooms, flooring type, parking and your move-out date. Based on this information, we provide a clear quotation with no hidden charges. We confirm what is included, optional extras and any access or parking considerations. Once you are happy, we book a date and time that fits around your removal schedule and inventory appointment.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most properties, a short virtual survey using photos or video is sufficient. For larger or more complex jobs, we can arrange an onsite visit. This helps us assess the condition of carpets, bathrooms and kitchen appliances, and allows us to give accurate timings and recommend any professional carpet cleaning or stain treatment that may be needed to meet your tenancy agreement.
3. Preparation & Cleaning Day
On the day, our trained team arrives within the agreed time window with all necessary products and equipment. We ask that the property is free from personal belongings where possible so we can clean thoroughly. The team works systematically through each room, following the agreed checklist. Before leaving, we carry out a final walk-through to check standards and make sure all areas have been completed.
Transparent Pricing
Our pricing is based mainly on property size, layout and condition, not on how long it takes us. This means you know the cost in advance. Typical factors that affect price include:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Presence of carpets vs hard flooring
- Need for professional carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning
- Heavily soiled areas or properties left in poor condition
- Parking and access complexity
We will always provide a clear written quote before any work is agreed, explaining what is included and any optional extras. There are no weekend surcharges for pre-booked cleans, and we are happy to provide VAT invoices if required.
Why Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Beats DIY
Many tenants start out planning to clean the property themselves, only to find that the time and effort far exceed expectations. Professional cleaners bring:
- Experience of what landlords and agents actually look for
- Commercial-grade equipment and products for bathrooms, kitchens and carpets
- Systematic checklists that minimise missed areas
- Time efficiency – a team can complete what might take you days in a matter of hours
Using a professional company also gives you evidence that the property was cleaned properly, helping to reduce disputes and stress at an already busy time.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your property is in safe hands. Greenwich Carpet Cleaners is fully insured and works to strict professional standards:
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to fixtures, fittings and third-party property while we work.
- Goods in transit insurance – for any items we transport as part of related services, ensuring they are covered between locations.
- Trained cleaning teams – our staff receive ongoing training in product use, health and safety, and property protection.
We use appropriate PPE, comply with manufacturer guidelines for all chemicals and equipment, and follow clear risk assessments for each type of job.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property with care, protecting surfaces and fixtures while we work. That includes:
- Using colour-coded cloths and mops to avoid cross-contamination
- Choosing suitable products for delicate surfaces such as natural stone, wood or stainless steel
- Ventilating rooms properly while using stronger cleaning agents
Where practical, we favour lower-impact, professional-grade products that balance hygiene with environmental responsibility. We also plan routes and job scheduling sensibly around Greenwich to reduce unnecessary travel and emissions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Greenwich cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size and condition of the property, plus any extras such as carpet cleaning. As a guide, smaller studio or one-bedroom flats cost less than larger family homes with multiple bathrooms and carpets throughout. We always provide a clear, fixed quotation before confirming your booking, so you know exactly what you will pay. There are no hidden charges for standard products or equipment, and any additional work needed will be discussed and agreed with you in advance.
Can you do same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleans?
We understand that move-out dates can change at short notice, especially when linked to completion or new tenancy start dates. Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or next-day end of tenancy cleaning in Greenwich. Availability is better on weekdays and outside peak moving periods. If you need an urgent clean, contact us as early as possible with your preferred time, property size and access details. We will confirm quickly whether we can accommodate your request and provide a realistic arrival window.
Are you insured while working in my property?
Yes. We are fully insured for the work we carry out. Our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to your property while we are cleaning. Where we transport items or equipment as part of related services, we have goods in transit insurance in place. Our cleaners are trained to work carefully, use the right products on each surface and report any issues immediately. If you are a landlord or agent and require copies of our insurance documents, we are happy to provide them on request.
What exactly is included in an end of tenancy cleaning service?
An end of tenancy clean is a detailed top-to-bottom service designed to return the property to a clean, hygienic state ready for the next occupant. It covers all main rooms and includes dusting, wiping, descaling of bathrooms, degreasing of kitchen areas, internal window cleaning, skirting boards, doors, and floors vacuumed or mopped. Standard oven cleaning is included, along with cupboard interiors. Optional extras such as professional carpet cleaning or appliance deep cleans can be added if required. Before booking, we will confirm precisely what is and isn’t included for your property.
How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy clean?
Ideally, you should book as soon as your move-out date is confirmed, particularly if you need a specific day and time or are moving at the end of the month when demand is higher. One to two weeks’ notice usually gives the best choice of appointments. That said, we regularly accommodate last-minute bookings where our schedule allows. If you are unsure of your exact date, we can pencil in a provisional slot and finalise once your removal company or landlord confirms the checkout time.
