How Much Does Cleaning Cost in Edinburgh? 2026 Price Guide

Airbnb turnover cleaning in Edinburgh typically costs:

• Studio or one-bedroom flat: £55 to £75
• Two-bedroom flat: £75 to £100
• Three-bedroom property: £100 to £140
• Four-bedroom or larger: £140+

Prices include surface cleaning, bathroom and kitchen reset, linen change (if you supply fresh linen), restocking basics and a photo completion report. Linen laundry service is typically an additional £15 to £25 per set. During the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August, some providers apply a surge premium of 10 to 20 per cent due to demand — our Edinburgh Airbnb cleaning service maintains consistent pricing year-round for regular clients.

End of tenancy cleaning in Edinburgh typically costs:

• One-bedroom flat: £150 to £200
• Two-bedroom flat: £200 to £280
• Three-bedroom flat or house: £250 to £350
• Four-bedroom house: £350 to £450

This includes the oven interior, all appliance interiors, inside all cupboards, bathroom descaling, window tracks, skirting boards and a full floor clean. Our Edinburgh end of tenancy cleaning includes a re-clean guarantee — if the letting agent flags anything, we return and fix it at no extra cost. This guarantee alone can save you hundreds in potential deposit deductions.

One-off deep cleans in Edinburgh typically cost:

• One-bedroom flat: £120 to £160
• Two-bedroom flat: £160 to £220
• Three-bedroom property: £220 to £300

Deep cleans cover all rooms at an intensive level — limescale removal, grease removal, dust in hard-to-reach areas, inside appliances on request. They are ideal before a property goes on the market, after renovations, or for a seasonal refresh. Edinburgh's hard water means limescale removal adds time compared to softer-water areas.

Several Edinburgh-specific factors influence pricing. Property condition is the biggest variable — a well-maintained property costs less than a neglected one. Edinburgh tenement flats with sash windows take longer to clean than modern-build apartments because the window runners accumulate more dust and the period features (cornicing, picture rails, column radiators) need individual attention.

Access and parking also matter. Old Town and New Town properties often require permit parking or metered street parking for the cleaning team. If your building has restricted access hours or requires a concierge check-in, this adds logistics time. Properties above the second floor in buildings without lifts (common in Edinburgh tenements) may carry a small supplement for carrying equipment.

Regular bookings cost less per clean than one-offs. If you manage multiple Airbnb properties in Edinburgh, a contract rate with a single provider saves money and ensures consistent quality. Group bookings for student HMO flats (common in Marchmont and Newington) get volume rates when all flatmates split the cost.

Book in advance during peak periods — month-end for tenancy cleans, August for Airbnb turnovers, June and September for student changeovers. Last-minute bookings during these peaks cost more because supply is limited. For a transparent quote based on your specific property, get in touch with our Edinburgh team.
