End of Tenancy Cleaning in Balham, room by room

Kitchen

The kitchen is where most deposit deductions start, so it gets the most time. We degrease the oven inside and out, soak the racks and trays, clean the hob, splashback and extractor filter, then empty-clean every cupboard, drawer and shelf. The fridge and freezer are cleaned inside, seals included, and the sink and taps are descaled until they shine. Our teams working in Balham allow extra time here for period skirting, sash windows and original tiled floors.

Bathrooms

Limescale is the second most common note on a check-out report. We descale taps, shower heads, screens and tiles, clean grout lines, wash the bath panel and the toilet from the base upwards, and polish mirrors and chrome. Extractor fan covers, window sills and the floor behind the toilet are included.

Bedrooms

Wardrobes and drawers are cleaned inside and out, skirting boards and door frames are wiped, radiators are dusted front and back where reachable, and light switches and sockets are cleaned. Carpets are vacuumed edge to edge, including under the bed space once furniture is empty.

Living areas and hallways

We work from high to low: tops of doors and frames, picture rails, light fittings and window frames first, then surfaces, skirting and floors. Hallway cupboards, meter cupboards and stair rails are cleaned, and hard floors are vacuumed and mopped. Across Wandsworth this is the area letting agents and hosts check first.

Windows and final check

Interior glass, frames and sills are cleaned throughout. Before we leave, the team lead walks the property against our checklist, photographing key rooms so you have a record of the finish for your letting agent.

What affects the price in Balham?

If a property is much larger or in a very different condition from the description, we will always talk to you before changing anything.

How to prepare for your clean

Remove all your belongings and furniture you are taking before we arrive.
Make sure electricity and hot water are on, as we need both.
Defrost the freezer the day before if possible.
Tell us about parking permits or restrictions on your street.
Keep your check-in inventory handy to compare with the finished property.
Book the clean for the day before your check-out, so any feedback can be fixed in time.

When to book end of tenancy cleaning in Balham

Book your end of tenancy cleaning for the day before your check-out inspection. That leaves time for any agent feedback to be fixed under our 72-hour guarantee, and means the property is empty so every cupboard and floor can be reached. The end and start of each month are the busiest times in Balham, as most tenancies change over then — booking a week or two ahead secures your preferred date.

Getting your deposit back in Balham

In England your deposit must be protected in a government-approved scheme (DPS, TDS or mydeposits), and any deduction has to be justified against your check-in inventory. Landlords can expect the property back in the same condition, allowing for fair wear and tear — not in better condition than when you moved in.

Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, a landlord cannot require you to pay for a professional clean as a condition of the tenancy. What they can require is that the property is returned as clean as it was at the start. A professional end of tenancy clean is often the simplest way to meet that standard, and our 72-hour re-clean guarantee means any agent feedback is handled quickly.

Tip: photograph each room after the clean and keep your receipt. If a dispute arises, the deposit scheme's free resolution service will look at this evidence.

Do you cover all of Balham?

Yes. We cover SW12 and the surrounding areas including Tooting Bec, Tooting and Streatham. If you are unsure, enter your postcode on the booking page.

Will I get my deposit back?

Our checklist is built around what letting agents inspect, and if your agent raises a cleaning issue within 72 hours we return and fix it free. We cannot control decisions about damage or wear and tear, but a clean property removes the most common deduction.

Do I need to be at the property?

No. Most customers leave keys with the agent, a concierge or a key safe. Add key collection at checkout and we will arrange it.

Is the property meant to be empty?

Yes, for the best result it should be empty of furniture and belongings. If items remain, let us know in the notes.

Can you clean at weekends in Balham?

Yes. We clean seven days a week across Balham and Wandsworth, including Saturdays and Sundays, with morning, midday and afternoon arrival windows.

How quickly can you come to Balham?

Bookings in Balham are usually available from the next day. Busy periods such as the end of the month fill up first, so book as early as you can.

Do I need to arrange parking?

It helps. Much of Balham has controlled parking zones and shared entrances, so please tell us about permits, visitor bays or building rules in your booking notes.

Are your products safe for children and pets?

We use professional products chosen to be safe once dry. Let us know about allergies or sensitivities and we will adapt what we use.

Is your team insured?

Yes. Every job is covered by public liability insurance, and every cleaner is interviewed, reference-checked and has their right to work verified.

How long does end of tenancy cleaning take?

A studio or one-bedroom flat usually takes 3 to 5 hours with a team of two; a three-bedroom house can take most of the day. We send a larger team for bigger homes so the job finishes on the day.

Do you bring your own equipment?

Yes. Our teams bring professional products, microfibre cloths, vacuums and specialist tools for end of tenancy cleaning. For regular domestic cleaning you can choose to use your own products instead.

What happens if something is missed?
