THE HANDOVER, HANDLED WITH CARE.
A clean handover starts here
More than tidy.
Ready for the next move.
End of tenancy cleaning is a detailed clean of a rental home when someone moves out or before a new tenant moves in. It reaches beyond the weekly routine: empty cupboards, appliance interiors, bathroom fittings, internal glass and the dust that collects along skirting boards all need attention.
Bob’s tenancy cleaning services cover London and the M25. Tell us about the property, its condition and your handover date, and agree the work before the visit. Whether you are leaving a studio or preparing a family home for new occupants, the aim is the same: a clean property and a clear understanding of what has been done.
Choose the clean
that fits the situation.
A regular domestic clean helps maintain an occupied home. Professional end of tenancy cleaning is planned around a move and the condition of the whole property, including areas that become accessible once cupboards and rooms are empty. The distinction is the agreed scope, not a promise about a deposit.
| Task or purpose | Regular domestic cleaning | End of tenancy cleaning |
|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Maintain the home between visits | Prepare the rental property for handover |
| Storage interiors | Often left occupied or excluded | Empty cupboards and wardrobes discussed in scope |
| Kitchen appliances | Usually surface cleaning or separate work | Interior cleaning agreed for the relevant appliances |
| Detail work | Prioritised around the regular routine | Room-by-room attention to edges, fittings and glass |
| Specialist fabrics | Not usually part of a routine visit | Carpets and upholstery booked as optional services |
THE PARTS YOU DON’T SEE EVERY DAY.
Where the work begins
A kitchen clean,
beyond the worktop.
Cooking leaves more than visible crumbs. Grease settles on cupboard fronts, around the hob and beneath the extractor; food can remain inside drawers and along fridge seals. Empty storage makes these areas easier to clean properly. Our kitchen checklist brings the work surfaces, sink, splashbacks, cupboards and cooking area into one agreed scope.
Include your oven type and other appliances when describing the property. A single built-in oven, a double oven and a range cooker need different amounts of work. Confirm the oven interior, racks, trays, door glass and extractor requirements in your quote rather than assuming every appliance is the same.
For fridge and freezer interiors, remove food in advance and ask about defrosting arrangements. Do not leave a freezer full of ice for the cleaning appointment. Heavy appliances, integrated units and inaccessible gaps also need discussion: cleaning accessible surfaces does not mean disconnecting or moving fitted equipment.
Empty cupboards. Clear surfaces. The right access makes a difference.
Glass, chrome, ceramic
Bathrooms deserve
the close-up.
A bathroom can look presentable while still holding soap residue on shower glass and limescale around taps. The cleaning scope should cover the basin, bath or shower, toilet, mirrors, accessible tiles and hard floor, with particular attention to handles, edges and fittings that are touched every day.
Tell us about natural stone, delicate finishes, damaged grout or existing staining before the visit. The material and condition matter when choosing a suitable approach. Cleaning can improve removable deposits; it cannot renew worn plating, repair failed silicone or reverse permanent surface damage.
Persistent mould needs a separate conversation. If it is present, describe the location and extent when booking so the team can advise on the appropriate service. A routine tenancy clean is not a substitute for fixing a leak, damp problem or ventilation fault.
A CLEARER FINISH, WITHOUT THE BIG CLAIMS.
Agree the details
One property.
A room-by-room checklist.
Use this checklist to compare the property with the work you need. It is a planning guide; your booking confirmation should set out the included rooms, appliance work and any specialist extras. Flag an unusual layout, additional bathroom or furnished room before the team arrives.
| Room | Cleaning tasks | Special attention | Check before booking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kitchen | Cupboards, drawers, worktops, sink, hob and agreed appliances | Grease around cooking surfaces and appliance seals | Empty storage; confirm oven type and appliance interiors |
| Bathrooms | Toilet, basin, bath or shower, mirrors, tiles and floor | Limescale, soap residue and accessible fittings | Mention delicate stone, damaged finishes or mould |
| Bedrooms | Empty wardrobes, reachable surfaces, doors, sills and floor | Dust along skirting boards and around handles | Remove personal items; identify furniture that remains |
| Living areas | Shelves, accessible fixtures, internal glass and floor | Edges, switches and dust on accessible surfaces | Carpet extraction and upholstery treatment are optional |
| Hallways & stairs | Accessible rails, doors, skirting boards and floor | Entrance marks, corners and stair edges | Confirm stair carpets, access and any extra floors |
External windows, waste clearance, repairs and moving heavy fitted items should not be assumed to be included. Ask for a specific service where needed.
The rooms you leave behind
A fresh start.
Right down to the edges.
In bedrooms and living areas, attention moves from the obvious surfaces to the easily missed ones. Door frames, handles, switches, window sills and skirting boards collect dust and marks through everyday use. Empty wardrobes and shelves allow their interiors to be included; belongings left in place can limit access.
Floors are vacuumed or mopped as appropriate to the surface. Professional carpet extraction and upholstery treatment are separate services, so mention stains, odours and fabric furniture when arranging the clean. No treatment can promise to remove every mark: the fibre, stain and previous cleaning attempts all affect what is achievable.
Start with the numbers
Published starting prices.
A quote for your property.
These are Bob’s published standard starting rates. They give a useful starting point for budgeting, rather than a final price for every property of that size. Confirm the current total, the rooms covered and any applicable charges before you book.
| Property | Standard clean | Scope to confirm | Important note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Room in a flatshare | From £99 | Bedroom and any shared areas requested | Explain which communal rooms need cleaning |
| Studio flat | From £140 | Living space, kitchen and bathroom | Specialist fabric cleaning is separate |
| 1 bedroom | From £238 | Bedroom, living areas, kitchen and bathroom | Confirm the actual layout and appliances |
| 2 bedrooms | From £275 | Rooms and fixtures in the agreed checklist | Tell us about additional bathrooms |
| 3 bedrooms | From £337 | The whole agreed property scope | Mention extra floors and furnishing level |
| 4 bedrooms | From £472 | A property-specific cleaning plan | Discuss size, condition and access |
| 5+ bedrooms | Individual quote | A property-specific cleaning plan | Discuss the full property before booking |
What changes the final price?
Bedroom count is only the beginning. A second bathroom, a larger kitchen or several floors can add work without changing the number of bedrooms. Describe the layout rather than relying on a single property label.
Condition also matters. Heavy cooking residue, substantial limescale or a property that has been unoccupied for some time may need more work than a regularly maintained home. Share those details early so the scope is realistic.
Optional fabric treatments, access restrictions, parking and any applicable travel or congestion charges should be discussed alongside the cleaning. Ask whether the quoted total includes all applicable taxes and charges, and keep the confirmation with your moving arrangements.
A quote that fits the property
Let’s talk
about your clean.
Postcode. Rooms. Condition. Moving date. A few practical details make a useful quote.
Add what the property needs
Specialist care.
Chosen room by room.
Not every property needs every extra. Compare the check-in record with the current condition, then choose the specialist work that is relevant. This keeps your move out cleaning in London focused on the actual property rather than an oversized package.
| Optional service | When to consider it | Pricing basis |
|---|---|---|
| Professional carpet cleaning | Soiled fitted carpets, stair carpets or specific fabric requirements | Rooms, size, material and condition; confirm the add-on total |
| Upholstery cleaning | A furnished rental with sofas or chairs needing treatment | Item type, seating capacity, fabric and condition |
| Separate oven cleaning | The oven needs attention without a whole-property clean | Oven type, size, condition and any additional appliances |
| Mould removal assessment | Visible mould needing attention beyond routine cleaning | Location, extent and the appropriate service; quote separately |
A little preparation helps
Make space
for a proper clean.
Aim to book after removals and before the keys are handed back. Cleaning around packing boxes makes some surfaces harder to reach, while moving furniture through a freshly cleaned room can leave new marks. If that sequence is not possible, explain the situation when you call.
You do not need to pre-clean the property, but you do need to make the agreed work accessible. Keep any written instructions from the team with your booking details, particularly where appliances, keys or building access are involved.
| Before the visit | What to arrange | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Clear belongings | Remove personal items and empty agreed storage | Allows cleaning inside cupboards and around surfaces |
| Prepare appliances | Remove food; confirm freezer defrosting and oven access | Avoids arriving to an appliance that cannot be cleaned |
| Keep utilities available | Arrange working electricity, water and lighting | The team needs usable facilities to complete the work |
| Plan the entrance | Confirm keys, concierge instructions, lifts and parking | Reduces delays getting equipment into the property |
| Share requirements | Send relevant inventory notes and identify existing damage | Helps distinguish cleaning work from repairs or wear |
The handover, considered
Cleanliness is visible.
A clear record helps, too.
An inventory inspection records the condition of the property. Share any cleaning requirements from your letting agent or landlord when booking, particularly appliance interiors, internal windows and any furnished items. A checklist is most useful when it describes the actual rooms, not a generic property you do not have.
Cleaning and repairs are different jobs. Worn carpet, scratched flooring, failed sealant and broken fittings cannot be put right simply by cleaning them. Flag known damage beforehand and keep a record of the property condition so everyone has the same starting point.
After the visit, review the agreed areas before the handover where possible. If something appears to have been missed, contact Bob’s promptly with the location and photographs. Read the published re-clean policy for its conditions. Cleaning helps prepare the home; it does not guarantee an inspection outcome or the return of a deposit.
EMPTY SPACE. A LITTLE LESS TO THINK ABOUT.
Why choose Bob’s?
A practical approach
to a busy moving day.
Arranging landlord cleaning services between occupants? Explain whether the home is empty, furnished or undergoing other work so the visit can be planned sensibly.
Scope before the visit
A useful booking starts with your rooms, appliance details, optional services and access arrangements. Discussing them together makes the cleaning plan easier to understand.
Equipment and products supplied
The current service includes the team’s cleaning equipment and products. Tell us about delicate materials or specific surface concerns when arranging the appointment.
A date that works with the move
Ask about available weekday, evening and weekend appointments. Arrange the clean around removals and the inspection, with enough room to review the property afterwards.
Across London & the M25
Different postcodes.
The same attention to detail.
From a compact central flat to a suburban family home, the postcode helps establish availability and the practicalities of access. Bob’s serves London and the M25; call with the full address and preferred date to check the appointment options for your property.
In blocks of flats, let us know about a concierge, booking requirements for a lift, loading restrictions or a long walk from parking to the front door. These details are more useful than a neighbourhood name alone. Use the area finder to choose the guide for your address, or explore a few local pages below.
What you need to know
Before
you book.
A few practical answers for planning the clean around your move.
What is included in an end of tenancy clean?
The agreed service covers the relevant kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas and circulation spaces, with detailed attention to storage, accessible fittings and floors. Confirm appliances, internal glass and any property-specific requirements in the quote. Specialist carpet and upholstery treatments are separate.
How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost in London?
Bob’s published standard rates start at £140 for a studio and £238 for a one-bedroom property. A room in a flatshare starts at £99. Layout, condition, additional bathrooms, optional services and access can affect the total, which should be confirmed before booking.
Is oven cleaning included?
Kitchen and appliance cleaning form part of the published tenancy-cleaning scope. Tell us the oven type and confirm the interior, racks, trays, door glass and any additional cooking appliances in your quote. A separate oven-cleaning visit is also available.
Do carpets need a separate booking?
Professional carpet cleaning is optional and should be requested with the rooms and carpet details. Vacuuming a carpet is different from a specialist fabric treatment. Ask about the method, any drying time and the final add-on price when arranging the work.
Does the property have to be empty?
An empty property gives access to floors, storage and surfaces. Remove personal belongings where possible and tell the team about furniture or boxes that will remain. If the property cannot be emptied before cleaning, discuss the access limits before confirming the appointment.
How long will the clean take?
There is no single duration that suits every home. Property size, layout, condition and the agreed services all matter. Ask the team for guidance for your property and allow time between the clean and your checkout rather than assuming a fixed number of hours.
Can I arrange an evening, weekend or urgent clean?
Ask about the available appointments for your full postcode and moving date. Evening and weekend options are advertised by Bob’s, but a particular slot or urgent visit depends on availability. Calling early gives you more scope to plan around removals and key collection.
Can I send a landlord’s checklist or inventory?
Yes, mention it when booking and share the relevant cleaning notes. Point out additional rooms, furnished items and any specific concerns. The team can then discuss the requested work alongside the property details, rather than discovering a different scope on arrival.
What happens if something has been missed?
Contact Bob’s promptly with the room, the area concerned and photographs if available. The existing re-clean policy sets out the reporting conditions and limits. A re-clean arrangement concerns the cleaning work; it cannot guarantee a landlord’s decision about a deposit.
