The Difference Between End of Tenancy Cleaning and “Normal” Cleaning

Normal “regular” cleaning includes wiping, dusting and hoovering the visible and accessible parts of a home.

End of tenancy cleaning goes much further and is also known as “deep cleaning”. The main difference is that the carpets are usually cleaned, and white goods, ovens and windows are also cleaned.

While every cleaning company will have differing criteria for an end of tenancy clean, most will include the following:

Optional Extras

Optional extras usually include; cleaning the exterior of windows and sills, gutter unblocking and cleaning, patio and driveway cleaning, curtain and upholstery steam cleaning.

Carpet cleaning is sometimes advertised as a separate item but most tenants will need to have the carpets cleaned upon completion of the tenancy, hence why we included this in our price guide.

We’ve also included the cost of oven cleaning, although some of the cleaning firms we contacted only included this as an optional extra to their published price lists.

Average End of Tenancy Cleaning Cost

Here are the results of our research into end of tenancy cleaning prices being charged by companies and businesses in the UK:

The prices above are an average of the figures given to us. Cleaners in London will charge a fee above average and those in the north of the UK will charge below the national average.

Comparing Price in 2022 to 2019

The last time we checked the cost of an end of tenancy clean was in 2019 when the average cost for a two-bed property was £238.

This represents an increase of 9.3% over three years, which is roughly in line with inflation for labour-intensive projects such as cleaning.

How Long Does an End-Of-Tenancy Clean Take?

Most cleaners work in teams of two and living rooms and bedrooms can be cleaned quickly, while the bathroom and kitchens take the most amount of time.

Here’s a timetable, which is based on the feedback we received from the 12 cleaning forms we contacted in 2022:
