What moves the price
- Number of bedrooms — end of tenancy cleaning is priced by size, from a studio flat to a four-bed house
- The state of the kitchen — landlords and agents rate it the worst room at check-out, and it takes the longest
- Oven and carpets — both are common add-ons to an end of tenancy clean and priced on top
- London and the South East — end of tenancy cleans there cost noticeably more than in the rest of the UK
- Furnished or empty — cleaning around a landlord's furniture adds time to the job
- A re-clean guarantee — some cleaning firms return free if the check-out report finds a missed area
Domestic cleaning prices in the UK are up 24% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Domestic services and household services, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical end of tenancy cleaning would have cost about £155 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 D7E6 →

How to pay less
- Compare your end of tenancy cleaning quote with your check-in inventory — you only need to match the move-in standard
- Clean as you pack and leave the kitchen and bathroom for the professional end of tenancy clean
- Book the end of tenancy clean midweek or mid-month if your move allows, when cleaning firms are quieter and may charge less
Before you book
- Under the Tenant Fees Act a landlord in England cannot make you pay for a professional clean, only for cleaning back to standard
- Read the check-in report or inventory so the end of tenancy clean targets what the agent will check
- Keep the cleaning receipt and take dated photos, since cleaning is the commonest reason for a deposit deduction
- If a deduction is disputed, your tenancy deposit protection scheme offers a free dispute service
End of Tenancy Cleaning cost: questions people ask
£90–£350 per visit, about £190 on average. A studio left in good order is the cheapest; a three- or four-bed house with the oven and carpets added, especially in London, is the dearest.
Usually four to eight hours. A larger or heavily used property may be done by two cleaners so it is finished before the check-out.
Not in England. Under the Tenant Fees Act your tenancy can require the property back at a professional standard, but you cannot be made to pay a professional cleaner for it.
Your deposit sits in a government-backed protection scheme, which offers free dispute resolution. The landlord has to show the property was left dirtier than the move-in inventory.
Carpet shampooing, oven cleaning and outside windows are often extras, so check what the price covers before you book.
