How Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us with basic details: property type, number of rooms, location in Merton, and your move-out date. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate. For straightforward jobs we can usually quote from your description; for more complex or heavily soiled properties, we may suggest a survey.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

Where needed, we carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess the condition of the property, discuss any add-on services such as carpet cleaning, and confirm access arrangements and parking. The survey helps us give a realistic fixed price and ensure we allocate the right number of cleaners for the job.

3. Preparation and Cleaning Day

Before we arrive, we ask that the property be mostly empty and free of personal belongings. On the day, our trained team arrives with all equipment and products. We work methodically through our checklist, focusing on the areas that most often lead to deposit disputes – kitchens, bathrooms and flooring. At the end, we carry out a final walkthrough and can provide an invoice or work completion note for your records.

Transparent Pricing for End of Tenancy Cleaning

We price end of tenancy cleans based on:

• Size and layout of the property
• Number of bathrooms and additional spaces
• Current condition and level of soiling
• Any add-on services (e.g. carpet or upholstery cleaning)
• Parking and access considerations

We don’t use misleading headline prices. Instead, we provide a clear written quote that sets out exactly what’s included. Where possible, prices are fixed rather than hourly so you know the cost in advance. If we believe extra work may be needed beyond our standard service, we will discuss it with you before starting.

Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Over DIY?

Doing it yourself can seem cheaper, but in practice many tenants and landlords find it costs more in time, stress and products – and can still lead to disputes. Our professional service offers:

• Experienced cleaners who know what agents look for during checkout
• Commercial-grade equipment and suitable cleaning solutions
• A systematic approach that covers tricky and easily missed areas
• Reduced risk of deductions from your deposit or re-cleans requested by landlords
• Time saved during an already busy move

For landlords and agents, using a professional service helps protect your asset, maintain standards across your portfolio and minimise void periods.

Merton Cleaner operates to strict professional standards. We are:

• Fully covered with public liability insurance for your peace of mind
• Protected by appropriate goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Cleaning to a high standard should not come at the expense of your property or the environment. We focus on:

• Using products that are effective yet as gentle as possible on surfaces
• Protecting delicate finishes and materials by selecting the right methods
• Reducing waste by using refillable containers where practical
• Using microfibre systems to cut down on chemical use
• Planning routes sensibly within Merton to minimise unnecessary travel

Where clients have particular environmental preferences, we can adapt our approach and discuss product options in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Merton cost?

Costs depend mainly on the size, layout and condition of the property, plus any extras you choose such as carpet or upholstery cleaning. A small one-bedroom flat that’s been well maintained will usually be at the lower end of our pricing, while larger or heavily soiled homes require more time and a larger team. We provide a clear written quote before any work starts, with no hidden charges. If anything could affect the final price, we explain it during the enquiry or survey stage.

Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?

We understand that moves don’t always go to plan. Where our schedule allows, we do accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings in Merton, especially outside the busiest changeover periods. The more flexible you can be with arrival times, the easier it is for us to help. For very urgent requests, it’s helpful if you can share photos or a brief video so we can assess the work quickly. Contact us by phone for the fastest response on last-minute cleans.

Are you insured in case something gets damaged?

Yes. We carry public liability cover and appropriate goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials. While damage during cleaning is uncommon, insurance is there for your protection and ours. Our trained cleaners follow careful procedures to minimise risk, including testing products on small areas where needed. If an issue ever arises, we ask that you notify us promptly so we can investigate and work towards a fair resolution in line with our terms and insurance requirements.

What exactly is included in your end of tenancy cleaning service?

Our standard service is a full deep clean of all main rooms, bathrooms, kitchen and internal storage areas. It includes thorough dusting, internal window cleaning where safely reachable, descale and sanitise of bathroom fixtures, degrease of kitchen areas, inside cupboard cleaning, standard oven cleaning, and complete vacuuming and mopping of floors. We focus on the areas most often highlighted in inventory reports. Certain tasks, such as carpet steam cleaning or external window cleaning above ground floor, are classed as extras and can be added to your booking if required.

How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy clean?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you know your move-out date, particularly if you’re leaving at the end of the month or during peak moving seasons. One to two weeks’ notice usually gives the best choice of dates and times. That said, we do our best to accommodate late bookings in Merton whenever we can. If you’re unsure of your exact checkout time, we can often hold a provisional slot and confirm closer to the day, subject to availability.
