An end of tenancy clean gets checked against a much stricter standard than a normal weekly visit, because it’s usually assessed by a landlord or letting agent looking for a reason to withhold part of the deposit. The whole property gets covered: inside cupboards and drawers, behind and underneath appliances where they can be safely moved, limescale in the bathroom, and the oven, hob and extractor in the kitchen, which is where most deposit disputes actually start.
Skirting boards, light switches, door frames and window sills are all included, not just the surfaces that get noticed on a walk-through. If the property’s in Boston or nearby and the move-out date is known in advance, the visit gets booked in before keys are handed back, so there’s no last-minute scramble.
Pricing depends on the size of the property and how it’s been left. As a guide, a two-bedroom flat starts from around £120, and a call beforehand to talk through the specifics avoids a surprise on the day.
