End of Tenancy
Landlord & Letting Agent Cleaning in Berkshire & Surrey
Between-tenancy cleans worked to the inventory standard your next check-in is measured against — fixed-priced by property size, ready for viewings.
Berkshire EcoClean cleans rental property for landlords, portfolio owners and managing agents across Berkshire and Surrey: void turnarounds between tenancies, pre-tenancy cleans before the check-in inventory and the marketing photographs, post-refurbishment cleans, carpet extraction, and communal areas in HMOs and small blocks. It is the same specification and the same vetted teams as our end of tenancy work — what changes is who it answers to and what it has to achieve.
The law puts that clean firmly on your side of the line. GOV.UK's Tenant Fees Act 2019 guidance for landlords and agents answers the question in one word: "No. You cannot require a tenant to pay for a professional clean when they check-out." What you may do, the same guidance says, is request that a property is cleaned to a professional standard, with the tenant responsible for returning it in the condition they found it, fair wear and tear aside. You set the standard; you cannot set the invoice. And because the standard applied at check-out is the condition recorded at check-in, the clean you commission before a tenancy starts is what makes the next one enforceable.
It is also the item most likely to cost you. Cleaning was the top reason for deposit claims in 2025 at 29.37% — ahead of damage on 18.42% and rent arrears on 16.45% — and has led that table for five years running, on figures the Deposit Protection Service published in June 2026. Meanwhile a void period in England costs a landlord around £1,135 in lost rent, on an average 24 days empty against £1,438 monthly rent (Rushbrook & Rathbone research, June 2026). A turnaround clean that has to be done twice takes a bite out of both numbers.
Void and between-tenancy cleans
- Full property clean to the inventory specification, room by room, on an empty property
- Kitchen — oven interior, hob, extractor, inside and behind appliances, inside every cupboard
- Bathrooms descaled and sanitised: tiles, grout, sanitaryware, screens, taps and extractor fans
- All rooms — dusting, skirtings, doors and frames, switches, sills and internal glass
- Floors vacuumed and mopped throughout; carpet and upholstery extraction as a priced add-on
- Fridge, freezer, washing machine and dishwasher cleaned inside where you want them included
- Cobwebs, limescale and mould spotting on sealant and grout dealt with as part of the clean
- Timed to finish before the check-in inventory and the marketing photographs, not after
Portfolio, block and refurbishment work
- Pre-tenancy refresh where a property has stood empty long enough to gather dust
- Post-refurbishment and after builders cleans before a property goes back on the market
- Communal areas in HMOs and small blocks, quoted as a recurring contract rather than a one-off
- Periodic carpet and upholstery extraction planned across several properties in one run
- One-off deep cleans mid-tenancy where an inspection or a tenancy agreement calls for one
- Several properties turned around on one agreed specification with a single point of contact
- Damp, mould with a maintenance cause and other defects reported to you, not cleaned over
How it works
Fixed quote by property size
Void and between-tenancy cleans are priced by bedrooms, bathrooms and condition rather than an open hourly clock, so a turnaround can be budgeted before the tenant has moved out.
Booked around the check-out
Give us the check-out date and we work the property empty — the only way to reach inventory standard inside cupboards, behind appliances and across floors.
Cleaned to the inventory specification
The same room-by-room checklist an inventory clerk works to, with a supervisor inspection against it before the keys go back.
72-hour re-clean guarantee
If your agent, clerk or incoming tenant raises a cleaning point within 72 hours, we return and put it right at no charge.
Who it's for
- Landlords turning a property around between tenancies with viewings already in the diary
- Portfolio landlords wanting one specification and one point of contact across several properties
- Letting and managing agents who need a turnaround they can promise a client and rely on
- HMO managers with a communal-area duty to meet and shared parts to keep presentable
- Overseas and accidental landlords who cannot walk the property themselves before a check-in
- Landlords re-letting after a refurbishment, while fine builders' dust is still settling
Eco-friendly products, as standard
Whoever moves in next breathes whatever you leave behind, and an empty property holds it — shut a flat up after a bleach-and-solvent clean and a Saturday viewing walks straight into the smell. Eco-friendly products and reusable microfibre are standard on landlord work at no premium and reach the same inventory standard without that, which counts for something on a property you are trying to let. We make no chemical-free or non-toxic claims about them; where a tenancy agreement, a managing agent's specification or an inventory clerk names a particular treatment, tell us at quote stage and we will meet it. Refillable concentrates also keep the packaging out of a property where nobody is there to put the bin out.
How long it takes
A void clean runs to the same clock as an end of tenancy clean, because it is the same specification: roughly 2–3 hours for a studio, 3–4 hours for a one-bed, 4–5 hours for a two-bed, 5–7 hours for a three-bed and 6–8 hours for a four-bed, with larger or heavily-soiled properties taking a full day or more. A two-person team cuts the elapsed time rather than the work. Carpet extraction adds around 20–40 minutes per room and carpets need 2–6 hours to dry, which matters when a check-in is booked for the same afternoon. Post-refurbishment turnarounds are staged across more than one visit, because fine dust keeps settling for days after the trades leave. The expected time is confirmed in writing with the quote.
Pricing
Void and between-tenancy cleans are fixed-priced by property size and condition, from the same published End of Tenancy / General Cleaning list our booking form uses — choose the property type and any add-ons (carpets, ovens, white goods, extra bathrooms) and the estimate is shown before you commit to anything. All prices are subject to viewing and property condition. Communal-area contracts, portfolio schedules and post-refurbishment cleans are quoted individually.
