Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Derby
Licensed Waste Carrier CBDU538050
Fully insured on every job
20 years serving Derbyshire
Tenants often leave more behind than a landlord expects - old furniture, a broken washing machine, bin bags of odds and ends that didn't fit in the removal van. None of that can be cleaned around: a mop and vacuum aren't much use with a mattress propped against the wall or a cupboard that's still full of someone else's bags. This service fills that gap - everything left behind gets sorted, removed and disposed of properly, the rooms get swept through afterwards, and the property is left empty and ready, whether that's for your own final inspection or to hand straight over to whoever's doing the actual clean.

Fitting the Clearance Into a Tight Move-Out Window
- Get in touch: Tell us the address, the move-out date and roughly what's being left behind - furniture, appliances, rubbish, a garage full of odds and ends. We'll talk you through what's realistic to clear before the handover.
- Free, fixed-price quote: Most quotes are worked out from photos or a short video sent by WhatsApp or email; larger or fuller properties get a quick site visit instead. The price you're given is the price you pay - nothing extra added on the day.
- Clearance day: We arrive at the time agreed, clear everything that's been left, and sweep through room by room. If you can't be there yourself, keys can be collected from a solicitor or letting agent, and photos are sent once it's done.
- Handover: The property is left empty and tidy, ready for your final inspection, the incoming tenant, or a cleaning team if one's booked separately. Payment is only taken once you're happy with the work.
Pricing When You're Working to a Move-Out Deadline
Cost depends far more on how much has been left behind than on the size of the property alone - a two-bed flat with a few bin bags costs a lot less to clear than one left with old furniture, a broken washing machine and a shed full of junk. Rather than charging by the hour, quotes are fixed once what needs clearing has been confirmed, worked out from photos, a short video, or a site visit for larger jobs, so there's nothing extra to pay once the day's booked.
Furniture or appliances with resale value are factored in to bring the price down. A full, accurate quote does need to see the property or clear photos of what's left - call and describe what needs clearing and you'll get a straight answer on cost before anything's booked.
Clearance-First vs a Cleaning-Only Company
| Category | Clearance-first service | Cleaning-only company |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Fixed quote agreed before the job starts | Usually charged by the hour or square footage |
| Leftover furniture & appliances | Removed, sorted and disposed of as part of the job | Tenant or landlord has to arrange removal separately |
| Waste disposal | Licensed Waste Carrier (ref. CBDU538050), disposed of legally | Not always licensed to remove bulky waste |
| Payment | Taken once you're satisfied with the work | Often requires payment or a deposit upfront |
| Access on the day | Keys can be collected from a solicitor or agent if you can't attend | Usually needs someone present throughout |
Twenty Years of Turning Up When It's Booked
A rental handover carries pressure a normal house clearance doesn't - there's a fixed date, a deposit riding on the state of the property, and often a letting agent or landlord waiting to see it empty. That's the yardstick this work is measured against: turning up when arranged and leaving the place properly swept through matters more here than almost anywhere else the job happens. S. Peters, who booked a clearance for a late relative's house, garage and outbuildings, described the team working hard and leaving everything clean and empty, with nothing too much trouble.
That's the same standard a rental needs to pass a check-out inspection or go straight to a cleaning team without anyone having to go back in. Furniture and appliances left behind are sorted for resale value rather than binned outright, which helps keep the bill down for whoever's paying, tenant or landlord, and whatever can't be reused goes to licensed recycling centres rather than landfill. The business is family-run, founded by Michael and Derbyshire-born, with 20 years behind it clearing houses, garages and estates across the county - fully insured and operating as a Licensed Waste Carrier, with most bookings still coming from tenants, landlords and agents who've used the service before or been told about it by someone who has.
Where Around Derby a Clearance Team Can Reach You
Most end of tenancy clearance jobs are in Derby itself - city-centre flats and terraced streets where access can be tight and parking limited, so timing the clearance van properly matters. The same service covers the wider area within roughly 15-25 miles, including Long Eaton and Ilkeston, where dense terraced housing means quick turnarounds between tenants are common, and Alfreton and Burton on Trent, both of which see a steady stream of landlord end-of-tenancy work alongside general household clearances.
Coverage also extends over the county border into Nottingham, where student lets and city-centre rental turnovers bring the same kind of job - clearing what's left behind quickly so a property can be re-let or handed to cleaners without delay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only clean, or can you clear rubbish and furniture too?
Clearing is where we start - rubbish, unwanted furniture, appliances and anything else left behind gets removed and sorted first, then the property is swept through so it's left empty and tidy. That's the groundwork most cleaning teams need done before a deep clean can even begin.
How much notice do you need before the tenancy ends?
A few days' notice is usually enough for a straightforward clearance, though it helps to call as soon as you know the move-out date, especially near the end of the month when a lot of tenancies change hands at once. If there's a garage or shed to clear as well, earlier is better.
What happens to anything left behind that looks valuable, like furniture or an antique?
Anything with resale value is factored into the price rather than thrown away, so it works in your favour rather than adding to the bill. If there's something specifically valuable, mention it when you call so it can be looked at properly rather than cleared with everything else.
Can you deal with the letting agent or landlord directly, or does it have to be the tenant?
Either way works. We regularly deal directly with landlords and letting agents booking a clearance between tenancies, as well as tenants clearing out before they hand the keys back - just let us know who to liaise with when you call.
I won't be at the property on the day - can the job still go ahead?
Yes. Keys can be collected from a solicitor, letting agent, or wherever's convenient, and photos are sent once the clearance is finished so you can see it's been done before the keys go back.
What happens to any personal paperwork or post left in the property?
It's treated carefully rather than thrown out with everything else - personal paperwork is destroyed securely rather than left for whoever moves in next to find.
Book Your Clearance Before the Keys Are Due Back
Deposits are often withheld over exactly this kind of thing - furniture or rubbish left behind that stops a proper clean happening in time. Get a free, fixed-price quote booked in before your handover date so there's no last-minute rush, no payment until you're happy with the work, and nothing left for the next tenant to deal with.
