End of Tenancy Cleaning in Doddinghurst

End of Tenancy Cleaning in Doddinghurst

What does a Brentwood letting agent check at the end of a Doddinghurst tenancy?

The agent walks round with the check in inventory and compares every room with how it looked when you moved in. They open the kitchen cupboards and drawers, look inside the fridge, freezer and oven, check the taps, shower screen and toilet for limescale, and look at skirting boards, door frames, switches and the inside of the windows. Anything dirtier than at check in, beyond fair wear and tear, can come out of your deposit.

In a Doddinghurst family house the kitchen and bathrooms take the longest. Grease builds up on the extractor and the tops of the wall units, and the water in this part of Essex is hard, so limescale collects on taps and screens quickly. Our end of tenancy cleaners descale with professional products, including our own Limescale Remover, and tick off a written checklist for every room so the agent finds nothing left undone.

A landlord in England can't make you pay for a professional end of tenancy clean under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, but you do have to return the property as clean as it was at the start. If a deduction is disputed, the scheme protecting your deposit (DPS, mydeposits or TDS) decides.

How much does an end of tenancy clean cost in Doddinghurst?

End of tenancy cleaning in Doddinghurst starts from £179. The price is worked out from the size of the property, meaning the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and from anything extra you choose, so a four bedroom detached house near the playing fields costs more than a two bedroom bungalow. Get a quote shows your exact price before you book, with no hourly rate to guess at.

The oven is not part of the standard price. If your tenancy agreement or agent expects it cleaned, add professional internal kitchen appliance cleaning when you book; it is priced by the size of the oven. Carpets are vacuumed as standard, and a professional carpet clean can be added from £49. Inside windows and all internal glass are included; outside windows and washing whole walls are not.

You add your card when booking, the amount is authorised 48 hours before the clean, and the card is only charged once the job is finished.

How long does a move out clean take, and do I need to be there?

Most end of tenancy cleans take our team three to six hours. A one bedroom property usually takes one cleaner three to four hours. For two or three bedrooms we normally send two cleaners, sometimes three for a larger three bedroom house, and for four bedrooms or more usually three, so the house is ready the same day.

You don't need to be home; we just need access. Before we arrive, check that the electricity is on, the boiler is working for hot water, the fridge and freezer are switched off and all your belongings have gone. Most Doddinghurst houses have a driveway, so let us know if the team can park there.

Every booking includes our show up guarantee: we clean on the day you booked, and if something outside our control happens it's done within 12 hours or it's free. Our deposit back guarantee covers everything related to the cleaning you booked, so if the agent says an area isn't clean enough, we come back and clean it again for free. You also get a receipt or cleaning certificate to pass to the agent.

What should you ask an end of tenancy cleaning company before booking in Doddinghurst?

Ask who will actually do the end of tenancy clean, how many cleaners will come and how long they'll stay, and whether there's a show up guarantee. With SN Cleaning Services the answer is our own fully insured, DBS checked end of tenancy cleaners, a team sized to your property, and a guarantee that the clean happens on the day you booked.

Ask what the end of tenancy cleaning prices include. Ours cover every room from top to bottom, inside kitchen cupboards, the fridge and freezer, hob and extractor, descaled bathrooms and internal glass. Oven cleaning, professional carpet cleaning from £49 and upholstery cleaning from £69 are extras you choose, so you only pay for what your tenancy needs. A move out clean is not a deep clean of a lived in home, so check the cleaning services you book match the agent's checklist.

Whether you're the tenant or the landlord, keep the receipt or cleaning certificate we give you. If the agent raises anything about the cleaning you booked, our deposit back guarantee means we come back and put it right.
