Handing back a rented property in Derby means the kitchen, bathroom, carpets and garden all need to meet the standard set out in the tenancy agreement, not just look presentable on the day. This page sets out what our end of tenancy clean covers room by room, current price bands, and what actually happens from booking to handover, whether you're a tenant chasing a deposit back or a landlord getting a property ready to re-let.
If there's also furniture, appliances or general clutter left behind that needs clearing before or after the clean, our end of tenancy clearance team can handle that as part of the same visit, and current price bands are set out on our end of tenancy cleaning prices page.
At a Glance
- Fixed price agreed before we start, no surprises on the day

- Family-run in Derby for 20 years, with most new landlord bookings coming from repeat instructions
The Room-by-Room Checklist This Clean Works Through
- Oven interior, trays and racks degreased and left to oven-clean standard, not just wiped over
- Extractor fan and filter over the hob cleared of grease build-up
- Skirting boards, door frames and light switches wiped down throughout, including low-traffic rooms
- Fridge and freezer defrosted and cleaned inside and out, left with the door propped for the final walk-round
- Washing machine and dishwasher seals, filters and detergent drawers cleaned out
- Bathroom limescale removed from taps, showerhead, tiles and grout lines
- Carpets vacuumed and spot-treated, or steam cleaned where the tenancy agreement requires it
- Windows cleaned inside, including sills and frames, with cobwebs cleared from corners and ceilings
How the Clean Gets Booked Against Your Check-Out Date
- Tell us about the property: Let us know the property type and size, your move-out date, and anything beyond the standard clean - carpets, an outbuilding, or items left behind - so we can plan the right size of team.
- Get a fixed price: We price the job either from a look at the property or from a description and photos over the phone, so the figure you're quoted is the figure you pay rather than an estimate that changes once the cleaners arrive.
- Cleaning day: One or two trained cleaners work through the property in the order set out in our checklist - kitchen and appliances first, then bathrooms, then the rest of the rooms - typically taking three to five hours depending on the size and condition of the property.
- Final check and sign-off: We call you before leaving to confirm you're happy with the result, and can provide photographs of the finished property to support a check-out report or deposit return.
End of Tenancy Clean vs a Standard Domestic Clean
| What's covered | Regular domestic clean | Our end of tenancy clean |
|---|---|---|
| Inside of oven, extractor and cupboards | Not usually included | Included as standard |
| Skirting boards, doors and window sills | Surface dusting only | Cleaned and wiped down throughout |
| Garden, driveway and outbuildings | Not covered | Available as part of the same visit |
| Furniture or rubbish left behind | Not handled | Can be cleared by our own licensed waste team |
| Pricing | Hourly rate, can run over | Fixed price agreed before work starts |
The Standard Agents Check For at Check-Out
A check-out inspection doesn't stop at whether the flat looks tidy from the door - the agent works down the same inventory that was signed at move-in, checking inside the oven, along skirting boards and inside cupboards rather than just glancing round a room. The clean is planned around that same list rather than a general tidy-round, which is why the oven, extractor and bathroom get properly worked on instead of being squeezed in at the end once the visible surfaces are done.
It's the same finish the team is known for on clearance jobs too - one recent customer, K. Lance, said the crew “arrived on time… and even swept the place out afterwards, left spotlessly clean” - and that standard is what gets applied to every tenancy clean, not just the rooms an agent is likely to glance at. Nothing is charged upfront: the price agreed at booking is what's paid once you've confirmed the result yourself, so there's no reason to rush a job that only gets judged after the crew has already left.
Derby Postcodes and Surrounding Towns This Clean Covers
Most of our end of tenancy work is in Derby itself, including city-centre flats around the Cathedral Quarter and DE1 postcodes, where properties are let and re-let quickly and parking or lift access for equipment can be tight. We also cover landlord turnarounds further out - terraced rental streets in Long Eaton (NG10), post-war housing and modern semis around Alfreton (DE55), and student and family lets across Nottingham - plus Belper, Ilkeston, Heanor, Ripley and Burton on Trent. If a property sits outside this list, it's worth a call to check, as we can often still help.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be at the property while it's cleaned?
No. Many tenants and landlords aren't available on the day, so it's fine to arrange access another way - through a letting agent, keys left with a neighbour, or however works for you - and we'll call you once the clean is finished to confirm everything's done.
Is carpet cleaning included in your standard price?
It's available on request but isn't part of the standard room-by-room price bands - it's charged as an add-on, so mention it when you book if the carpets need treating and we'll include it in the quote.
Will an end of tenancy clean guarantee I get my full deposit back?
We can't make that promise on your landlord's behalf - the final decision on deposit deductions is theirs, and some disputes are about wear and tear rather than cleanliness. What we can do is clean to the standard a letting agent would expect and give you photos of the finished property as evidence if there's ever a dispute.
Can you also remove furniture or rubbish left in the property?
Yes - it's a common request, particularly with student lets and repossessions. We run our own rubbish removal and clearance service and, as a Licensed Waste Carrier, can take items away and dispose of them properly rather than you needing to book a separate skip or removal firm.
How much notice do you need to book a clean?
As little as a day or two where our schedule allows, though earlier is better if you need a specific date to line up with a check-out inspection or a new tenant moving in. Last-minute bookings aren't charged a premium - the price is based on the property, not how soon you need it done.
Do you clean ovens, fridges and other appliances as standard?
Yes - the oven, hob, extractor, and any appliances left in the property (fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine) are cleaned inside and out as part of the standard service, not charged as extras.
Are your cleaners insured?
Yes, the team working in your property is fully insured, and every cleaner is trained specifically for end of tenancy work rather than general domestic cleaning, so they know the standard a letting agent or landlord will be checking against.
Get a Fixed Price Before Your Move-Out Date Arrives
Move-out dates don't move, and a clean that's rushed or missed off the calendar can hold up a deposit return or delay a new tenant moving in. Get in touch with your move-out date and property size, and we'll confirm a fixed price and a slot before it's needed.
