End of Tenancy Cleaning in Great Baddow

End of Tenancy Cleaning in Great Baddow

What does a Great Baddow letting agent check when you move out?

Agents compare the home today with the check in inventory and its photos. Our end of tenancy clean follows the same checklist: inside kitchen cupboards and drawers, fridge, freezer, hob, extractor and microwave, bathrooms descaled, internal glass, skirting boards, doors, switches and radiators, carpets vacuumed and hard floors washed.

In the older terraces off Baddow Road and New Road, agents tend to look closely at window sills, picture rails and the narrow gaps behind old radiators. On the 1950s and 1960s estates it is usually the kitchen: worktop joints, cooker hood filters and the tops of wall units, which collect a sticky film that a quick wipe never shifts.

The oven is not part of the standard clean. If your agent lists oven cleaning, add professional internal kitchen appliance cleaning when you book; it is priced by oven size. We clean inside windows only, and we remove marks on walls where we can, but washing whole walls is not included.

How much is an end of tenancy clean for a Great Baddow flat or house?

End of tenancy cleaning in Great Baddow starts from £179. The final figure depends on how many bedrooms and bathrooms the property has and any extras you add, such as carpet cleaning or the oven. The online booking form shows the exact price for your home before you confirm anything. Unlike a regular domestic cleaning service with an hourly rate, an end of tenancy cleaning service is priced on the size of the property.

A studio at Meadgate is a very different job from a five bedroom house on Apple Way, so we never guess. A one bedroom flat usually takes three to four hours and most homes are finished in three to six. A studio or one bed may have one cleaner, two or three bedrooms usually two, and four bedrooms or more usually three.

Card details are taken at booking, authorised 48 hours before the clean and charged only when the job is complete. Professional carpet cleaning, from £49, is a separate service you can add if the tenancy agreement asks for it, because the deposit back guarantee covers only what you have booked.

Who pays for the move out clean when you rent in Great Baddow?

Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019 a landlord in England cannot make you pay for a professional clean. You do have to return the home as clean as it was at check in, allowing for fair wear and tear. Light scuffs and a worn carpet are wear and tear; grease, limescale and dirt are not.

If your deposit is held by the DPS, mydeposits or TDS, any deduction for cleaning has to be backed by evidence, usually the check in and check out reports. That is why we give you a receipt or cleaning certificate to pass on, and why any issue is reported through your customer account with photos.

Plenty of landlords book us themselves between tenants, particularly for flats near the Vineyards and the newer closes where one let ends and the next begins within days. The checklist is the same either way, and the 7 day re clean guarantee covers the empty property at no extra cost. Because an end of tenancy clean is a deep clean of the empty home, years of grease or limescale are part of the job rather than an extra.

How should you get a Great Baddow rental ready before the cleaners arrive?

The property needs to be empty of belongings, with the electricity on and the boiler working so there is hot water. Switch the fridge and freezer off beforehand so they can defrost. The team brings professional products and equipment, including our own Limescale Remover for taps and shower screens.

Parking can be tight in the conservation area around the High Street and Maldon Road, and in some of the newer high density closes. A note in the booking form about where to park helps the team arrive on time with their equipment.

Pets are fine and you don't need to stay. You can book up to around six months ahead, and same day and weekend cleans are possible. Our show up guarantee means the clean happens on the day you booked; if something outside our control gets in the way, it is done within 12 hours or it is free.
