At Lewisham Carpet Cleaners, we provide thorough, professional end of tenancy cleaning across Lewisham and the surrounding areas. As local cleaning specialists with years on the job, we understand exactly what landlords, letting agents and inventory clerks expect when they inspect a property at the end of a tenancy.

We also offer optional add-ons such as professional carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning if required by your tenancy agreement.

- Outdoor areas such as gardens, patios, sheds and garages
- Lofts, cellars or unsafe/limited-access spaces

Local End of Tenancy Cleaning Experts in Lewisham
Being based in Lewisham means we know the local property stock, from Victorian terraces and council estates to modern apartment blocks. We regularly work with Lewisham-based letting agents, private landlords and housing associations, so we are familiar with their check-out standards and typical requirements.
Our local knowledge helps us plan access, parking and timing more effectively, reducing delays and keeping your move running smoothly.
Who Our Service Is For
Renters and Tenants
We help tenants protect their deposit by presenting the property in its best possible condition at check-out. We follow your inventory, focus on known problem areas and provide a clear invoice as proof of a professional clean.
Homeowners
If you are selling your home or moving out, a full clean makes handover easier and more pleasant for the new occupants. It can also support a smoother completion when estate agents and buyers see a well-cared-for property.
Landlords and Letting Agents
We work directly with landlords and agents to prepare properties between tenancies. Our aim is to minimise void periods by turning around a ready-to-let standard clean quickly and reliably.
Businesses and Offices
Commercial tenancies often require premises to be returned in a professionally cleaned condition. We provide end of lease cleans for small offices, shops and workspaces in and around Lewisham.
Students and Houseshare Tenants
Shared houses and student properties can be challenging at the end of term. We can clean the whole property in one visit, helping each tenant meet their responsibilities and avoid cleaning deductions.
Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details: property size, number of rooms and bathrooms, flooring type and your move-out date. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included and any optional extras you may wish to add.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most properties, a few photos or a short video call is enough for us to assess the work. For larger or more complex jobs, we may arrange an onsite visit. This helps us identify any heavily soiled areas, access issues or special requirements so there are no surprises on the day.
3. Preparation
We ask that the property is emptied of personal belongings and that any rubbish is removed before we arrive. On the day, our trained team brings all cleaning products, equipment and protection needed. We walk through the property, confirm the agreed scope with you (or your agent) and then begin work systematically, room by room.
Transparent Pricing and How Costs Are Calculated
We price our end of tenancy cleaning in Lewisham based on:
- Property size (number of bedrooms and bathrooms)
- Current condition and level of soiling
- Any add-on services (e.g. carpet cleaning, oven cleaning)
- Access, parking and timing (evening or weekend work if required)
Once we have your details, we provide a fixed price quote for the agreed scope of work. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional charges (for example, heavily stained carpets requiring extra treatment) are discussed and agreed in advance wherever possible.
Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Over DIY
DIY cleaning at the end of a tenancy can be time-consuming and stressful, especially around a move. Inventory reports are detailed and small oversights can lead to deposit deductions. As experienced professionals, we:
- Work to check-out standards used by local agents and landlords
- Use commercial-grade products and equipment for better results
- Know where inspectors typically look and what they expect
- Save you hours of labour at a point when you are already busy moving
- Provide a clear invoice to show that a professional clean has been carried out
In many cases, the cost of a professional clean is less than the potential deposit deductions from an unsatisfactory DIY job.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised industry standards:
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property should anything go wrong while we work on site.
- Goods in transit insurance – covering our equipment and any items we may move or handle as part of the clean.
- Trained cleaning teams – all staff are properly trained in safe product use, correct cleaning techniques and care of different surfaces.
We also follow clear health and safety procedures and risk assessments, especially in communal or commercial spaces.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property as if it were our own. That means:
- Using appropriate coverings and floor protection where needed
- Testing products in small, discreet areas before full use on delicate surfaces
- Avoiding harsh methods that may damage fixtures, fittings or finishes
Where possible, we choose products with lower environmental impact while still achieving a hygienic, high standard clean. We minimise waste, recycle where we can and aim to extend the life of carpets, flooring and furnishings through proper maintenance rather than replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Lewisham cost?
Prices depend mainly on the size and condition of the property, plus any extras you choose such as carpet or oven cleaning. As a guide, a small one-bedroom flat will usually cost less than a larger family home with multiple bathrooms. Once you give us a few details, we provide a clear, fixed price quote for the agreed scope of work. There are no hidden charges, and we always explain what is included so you can compare like-for-like with other quotes.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleans?
We understand that move dates and check-out inspections can change at short notice. Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate same-day or next-day bookings within Lewisham and nearby areas. Availability will depend on the size of the property and the time of your enquiry, so it is always best to contact us as soon as possible. Even when notice is short, we will give you an honest answer about what we can realistically achieve within your timescale.
Are you insured if something goes wrong during the clean?
Yes. We carry public liability cover to protect you and your property while we are working on site. We also have goods in transit insurance for our equipment and any items we may move as part of the clean. Our teams are trained to work carefully and methodically, but in the rare event of accidental damage, you have the reassurance that proper insurance is in place. We are always happy to provide proof of cover on request before you book.
What exactly is included in your end of tenancy cleaning service?
Our standard service covers all key areas agents and landlords commonly check. This includes a full deep clean of the kitchen, bathrooms, living areas, bedrooms, internal windows, skirting boards, doors, switches and sockets, plus vacuuming and mopping of all floors. We focus on limescale, grease, dust and general soiling. Optional extras, such as professional carpet cleaning, oven deep cleaning or upholstery cleaning, can be added if needed. We always confirm your specific inclusions in writing with your quote.
How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy clean?
Ideally, book as soon as you know your move-out date and check-out inspection time. One to two weeks’ notice usually gives the best choice of appointments, especially at busy times such as month-end and university term changes. That said, we know plans can change, so we also keep some flexibility for shorter-notice jobs. If your tenancy is ending very soon, contact us and we will do our best to find a suitable slot that still allows enough time for the property to dry and air before inspection.
Do you guarantee that my deposit will be returned?
No cleaning company can guarantee the return of a deposit, as landlords and agents may make deductions for issues unrelated to cleaning, such as damage or unpaid rent. What we can do is provide a thorough, professional clean aligned with typical check-out standards and supply an invoice as proof of service. If you or your agent feel we have missed a clearly listed area within our agreed scope, let us know promptly and we will discuss a sensible solution, which may include a revisit where appropriate.
