End of Tenancy Cleaning in Wickford

End of Tenancy Cleaning in Wickford

What do Wickford letting agents check at move out?

Letting agents and inventory clerks compare the property with the check in report, room by room. They open kitchen cupboards and drawers, look inside the fridge, freezer, oven and microwave, run a finger along the extractor and the tops of door frames, and check taps, shower screens and tiles for limescale. Skirting boards, light switches, radiators and the inside of the windows are on the list too, along with the condition of carpets and hard floors.

Our end of tenancy clean covers all of these. We clean inside every cupboard and drawer, the fridge, freezer, hob, extractor and microwave, descale the bathrooms, wipe doors, frames, switches and radiators, clean internal glass, vacuum carpets and wash hard floors. Oven cleaning isn't in the standard price, but you can add professional internal kitchen appliance cleaning when you book.

Is end of tenancy cleaning a legal requirement?

No. Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, your landlord can't require you to pay for a professional clean. What you do have to do is return the property as clean as it was when you moved in, allowing for fair wear and tear. If it isn't, the landlord can deduct the cost of cleaning from your deposit, and any dispute goes to the scheme protecting it: DPS, mydeposits or TDS.

Booking a professional clean is the most reliable way to avoid that argument. Our deposit back guarantee covers everything related to the cleaning you booked: if the agent says an area isn't clean enough, report it within 72 hours and we'll return and clean it again for free. It can't cover services you didn't book; for example, our standard clean vacuums carpets, so if the agent wants them professionally cleaned, add carpet cleaning from £49.

How long will the clean take in my Wickford home?

Usually between 3 and 6 hours for the team, depending on the size of the property and whether it's furnished. A one bedroom flat near the station typically takes 3 to 4 hours. We send one cleaner for some studios and one bedroom flats, two for most two and three bedroom homes, sometimes three for a larger three bedroom house, and usually three for four bedrooms or more.

Please have your belongings out, the electricity on, the boiler working for hot water, and the fridge and freezer switched off and defrosted. You don't need to be there. Our show up guarantee means we clean on the day you booked; if something outside our control happens, it's done within 12 hours or it's free, and an afternoon booking moves to first thing the next morning.
