Who Our End of Tenancy Cleaning Is For

Soho and central London see a high turnover of tenants and short lets. Our service is tailored to:

Renters and Students

If you are ending your tenancy, you want to leave the property in a condition that helps protect your deposit. We work to common London letting standards, focusing on the areas agents look at most closely: kitchens, bathrooms, skirtings, flooring and internal glass.

Homeowners

When selling or moving out of your home, a professional clean makes the property more presentable for viewings and handover. We provide detailed cleaning that supports smooth completion and reduces disputes at exchange.

Landlords and Letting Agents

We support landlords and property managers by preparing properties quickly and consistently between tenancies. Our team understands inventory reports, wear and tear expectations and the standard of finish typically required in Soho’s competitive rental market.

Businesses and Serviced Accommodation

For office lets, serviced apartments, Airbnb hosts and short-term rentals, we offer reliable turnaround cleaning between occupants. We can work to your check-out times and building rules to minimise disruption.

Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us with the property size, location in Soho, number of bathrooms, flooring types and any add-ons required. Based on this information, we provide a clear, fixed quotation for the agreed scope of work. There are no hidden extras, provided the information supplied is accurate and the property is in a standard condition.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most flats and smaller homes, a detailed virtual survey via photos or video call is sufficient. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend an onsite visit. This helps us confirm access, parking, security and any particular areas of concern, and ensures that the quote and cleaning plan are accurate.

3. Preparation and Cleaning Day

We ask that the property is fully vacated, with personal belongings and rubbish removed before we arrive. Our trained team brings all cleaning equipment, products and protective materials. On arrival, we walk through the property, agree priorities with you if you are present, and then work systematically room by room until the checklist is fully completed.

Local Expertise in Soho

Based in central London, we work in Soho every day. We understand:

• The expectations of local letting agents and property managers
• Access and parking challenges, including restricted loading
• Older building layouts, shared entrances and security arrangements
• Typical finishes in Soho flats – wooden floors, carpets, tiles and high-use kitchens

Being local means we can respond quickly, offer flexible start times, and coordinate keys or concierge access to suit busy schedules.

Transparent Pricing

Our end of tenancy cleaning is priced mainly by property size, number of bathrooms and the level of soiling. We provide fixed quotes in advance, so you know exactly what you will pay. Add-ons such as carpet cleaning or oven cleaning are itemised separately.

There is no charge for quotations. Any potential additional cost – for example, for heavily soiled properties or extended parking – is discussed and agreed before we start work, not after. We can usually offer different options to suit your budget and requirements.

Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Instead of DIY

End of tenancy cleaning is more detailed than routine domestic cleaning. Check-out inspections are often strict, and minor issues can lead to deductions from deposits or delays in re-letting.

• We use commercial-grade equipment and professional products that are more effective than typical household supplies.
• Our experienced cleaners know exactly where landlords and inventory clerks focus their attention.
• We follow a consistent checklist so important areas are not missed under time pressure.
• A professional invoice and clear scope of work can help resolve potential disputes.

By using a professional service, you save time, reduce stress and increase the likelihood of a smooth handover.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Soho Carpet Cleaning operates to recognised industry standards and takes care of your property throughout the process.

• Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury while we are working on site.
• Goods in transit insurance – For equipment and any items we may need to move within the property while cleaning.
• Fully insured operations – Documents are available on request for landlords or managing agents.
• Trained cleaning teams – Our cleaners are trained in the correct use of chemicals, colour-coding, health and safety and safe systems of work.

We work carefully, respect building rules and always aim to leave the property secure, clean and ready for inspection.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every property as if it were our own. That means:

• Using appropriate floor and surface protection where needed
• Testing products on small, inconspicuous areas before full use
• Working methodically to prevent cross-contamination between rooms
• Ventilating spaces properly while we clean

Where practical, we use low-VOC and biodegradable cleaning solutions, and we avoid unnecessary waste. Our equipment is chosen for efficiency and durability, helping to lower energy use and extend service life. We continuously review products and methods to balance high standards of cleanliness with a responsible approach to the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Soho cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size of the property, the number of bathrooms and the condition it is left in. Studios and one-bedroom flats are naturally at the lower end, while larger or heavily used properties require more time and resources. We provide a clear, fixed quote once we know your exact requirements and property details. Carpet or upholstery cleaning, oven deep cleaning and appliance cleaning are priced separately. There are no hidden charges, and we are happy to itemise everything in writing for you or your landlord.

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

In many cases, yes. Because we work locally in Soho and central London, we can often accommodate same-day or next-day bookings, especially outside peak weekends and month ends. Availability will depend on the size of the property and the time you contact us. If you need an urgent clean, it helps to have key details ready – property size, address, parking and preferred time window. We will always be honest about what we can achieve within your timescale and never overpromise.

Are you insured while working in my property?

Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover and goods in transit insurance, as well as cover for our equipment and staff. This protects you, your landlord and us in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during the cleaning process. We can provide copies of our insurance documents for managing agents or building managers who require them. Our team members are also trained in safe working practices, including chemical handling and care around delicate surfaces and fixtures.

What exactly is included in an end of tenancy clean?

An end of tenancy clean is a detailed, move-out clean of the entire property, including all rooms, internal windows, skirting boards, doors, surfaces, kitchen units and bathrooms. We empty and wipe cupboards, clean appliances externally, descale bathrooms, vacuum and mop all floors, and remove light dust and marks where possible. Specialist services such as carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning or full oven and appliance deep cleaning can be added if required. Before you book, we will outline exactly what is included so everyone has the same expectations.

How far in advance should I book?

To secure your preferred date and time, we recommend booking as soon as you know your move-out date, ideally one to two weeks in advance. This is particularly important towards the end of the month, during student changeovers and at weekends, when demand in Soho is highest. However, we understand that moves do not always go to plan, so we keep some flexibility for shorter-notice requests. Even if your cleaning is urgent, it is worth calling – if we can help, we will.
