End of Tenancy Cleaning in Pilgrims Hatch

End of Tenancy Cleaning in Pilgrims Hatch

What will a Brentwood letting agent check when you leave a Pilgrims Hatch rental?

The agent compares the property with the check in inventory. They open kitchen cupboards and drawers, look inside the fridge, freezer and oven, check taps and shower screens for limescale, run a finger along skirting boards and door frames, and look at switches and the inside of the windows. Anything less clean than at check in, beyond fair wear and tear, can be deducted.

In the post war semis that make up much of Pilgrims Hatch, the kitchen and bathroom usually take the most time. Grease collects on the extractor, the hob and the tops of the wall cupboards, and limescale builds up on taps, screens and around the bath. Our end of tenancy cleaners descale with professional products, including our own Limescale Remover, and work through every room against a written checklist so nothing the agent looks at is left out.

Since the Tenant Fees Act 2019, a landlord in England cannot make a tenant pay for a professional clean, but you are responsible for leaving the property as clean as it was at the start, so check your contract for any cleaning clause. If a deduction is disputed, it goes to the scheme protecting the deposit: DPS, mydeposits or TDS.

How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost in Pilgrims Hatch?

End of tenancy cleaning in Pilgrims Hatch starts from £179. The exact price depends on the property size, meaning the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and on anything you add, so a four bedroom detached house off Doddinghurst Road costs more than a one bedroom flat. Fill in Get a quote and you'll see the price for your property before you book.

It is a price for the whole job, not an hourly rate. The oven is not included: if your agent expects it cleaned, add professional internal kitchen appliance cleaning (oven cleaning) when you book, priced by the size of the oven. Carpets are vacuumed as standard, and if your tenancy agreement asks for a professional carpet clean you can add our carpet cleaning service from £49, or upholstery cleaning from £69 for a furnished let. Our standard end of tenancy clean includes the inside of the windows, but not outside window cleaning or washing whole walls.

You add your card details when you book. The amount is authorised on the card 48 hours before the clean and only charged once the job is finished.

How long does a move out clean take for a Pilgrims Hatch family house?

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

You don't need to be there, we just need access once you leave the property. Before we arrive, check the electricity is on, the boiler is working for hot water, the fridge and freezer are switched off and your belongings have gone. Let us know where the team can park.

Every booking carries 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 at no cost.

Is an end of tenancy clean the same as a deep clean?

No. An end of tenancy clean is for an empty property at the end of a let, done to the agent's checklist and priced by the size of the property from £179. Deep cleaning, by contrast, is for the home you're living in now, charged hourly from £27.

Some landlords book both: a move out clean when one tenant leaves, then a quick clean again before the new tenants move in if the house has sat empty, had work done or been through several viewings. If you're staying put and just want regular domestic help, our domestic cleaning service is the better fit.
