End of Tenancy Cleaning in London — Letting-Checklist Ready
Leaving a rented property in London means meeting your letting agent's cleanliness standards — or risking deposit deductions. Our end-of-tenancy cleaning teams in London follow detailed letting-agent checklists covering every room, every surface and every appliance interior. We work across Westminster, Shoreditch, Camden, Kensington, Canary Wharf, Southwark and surrounding areas, handling properties from compact studios to multi-bedroom flats and houses.
Our satisfaction guarantee means that if your letting agent flags any item we missed, we return to address it before the inspection deadline at no extra cost. Congestion-zone logistics managed, concierge and porter handovers, ULEZ-compliant fleet vehicles.
Why End of Tenancy Cleaning Matters for Your Deposit
Letting agents in London use standardised checklists when inspecting properties at the end of a tenancy. Items like oven interiors, limescale on bathroom fittings, grease on extractor hoods and dust on skirting boards are checked individually. Failing any item can result in deductions from your deposit — sometimes hundreds of pounds for work that costs a fraction of that when done properly.
A professional end-of-tenancy clean eliminates this risk. We know exactly what agents look for because we clean to those standards every day across London. Our team brings all products and equipment, works methodically through every room and leaves the property ready for inspection.

Our Guarantee — Pass the Checklist or We Return Free
After we complete the clean, you receive a photo-verified completion report showing the condition of each area. If your letting agent inspects the property and identifies any item that does not meet their checklist, contact us within 48 hours. We will return to London and address it at no additional charge before the inspection deadline.
This guarantee gives you confidence when discussing your deposit with your landlord or letting agent. You can provide both our completion report (with photos) and a professional cleaning receipt as evidence.
What Letting Agents in London Typically Check
Letting agents in London have specific expectations shaped by local property stock and common issues. These are the items our team pays particular attention to during end-of-tenancy cleans in London because agents consistently flag them.
What Makes OCS Different in London
Most cleaning companies send a team and hope for the best. We built a quality-control system that removes guesswork from every end of tenancy clean — here is how it works.
Photo-Documented QA Process
Every end of tenancy clean follows a room-by-room checklist. The team photographs each area on completion — beds, bathrooms, kitchen, living spaces — and uploads them to a timestamped report sent to you within 30 minutes. Our city coordinators review a random sample of reports weekly and flag any inconsistencies before you ever see them.
Emergency Response Promise
We confirm availability within 10 minutes during business hours and aim to have a team on-site within 2 to 4 hours in London. Outside standard hours, we respond by the start of the next business day. You always know the timeline before committing — we never promise a window we cannot deliver.
Fully Insured, Vetted Teams
Every team member undergoes identity verification, reference checks and in-house training before attending any property. We carry full public liability insurance and can provide certificates on request. For commercial clients, we also supply method statements, risk assessments and COSHH documentation as standard.
What Happens If Something Is Missed
If you or your letting agent identifies any area that does not meet the expected standard, contact us within 48 hours. We return in London and address the specific issue at no additional charge. For Airbnb hosts, we resolve any flagged items before the next guest checks in. This is not a marketing promise — it is a standing operational policy applied to every booking.
How We Operate in London
Every city has its own access patterns, property types and operational challenges. Here is how our London team handles them.
Typical Properties We Clean in London
Our London portfolio is split roughly equally between studio flats (common in zones 1-2), period conversions with separate rooms in Islington and Hackney, and purpose-built serviced apartments near transport hubs. Studios require a different workflow from multi-room properties — we use a single-team rapid-turnover approach for studios and pair teams for larger conversions where bathroom and kitchen work runs in parallel.
Access Patterns in London
London access varies dramatically by borough. In Kensington and Canary Wharf, we work with concierge-managed buildings where entry requires advance booking and porter coordination. In Shoreditch and Camden, converted Victorian terraces use key safes or smart locks. Our teams carry Oyster cards and use public transport between back-to-back turnovers where driving is impractical due to congestion and parking costs.
Local Operational Knowledge
Congestion charge zone logistics mean we batch turnovers geographically to minimise entry fees. Our fleet vehicles are ULEZ-compliant across the expanded zone. In buildings with strict move-in/move-out windows, we coordinate linen drops separately from the cleaning team to avoid lobby congestion. London properties also tend to have smaller kitchens with more compact appliances — our teams carry slim-profile tools designed for tight spaces behind integrated units.
Transparent Pricing in London — What Affects Your Quote
End-of-tenancy pricing is based on property size, condition and whether optional extras are needed. We quote a fixed price per job — you know exactly what you will pay before we start.
What Affects the Price
Property size
Larger properties require more time and more team members. A one-bedroom flat may take one team of two; a four-bedroom house may need a team of four working a full day.
Property condition
A well-maintained property in generally good condition costs less than one with heavy limescale, grease build-up or neglected areas that need intensive work.
Carpet cleaning
Standard vacuuming is included. Professional carpet shampooing or steam cleaning is an optional add-on, recommended when agents are likely to flag visible staining.
Window cleaning
Internal windows are included as standard. External window cleaning can be added if required by the letting agent.
Guide Prices
Prices assume standard condition. Heavily soiled properties receive an adjusted quote after we assess the situation. No work begins until you approve the price.
