Move In Cleaning Merton | From £115

Tenancies across the London Borough of Merton turn over fast, and landlords around SW19, SW20, CR4, SM4 and KT3 expect a property handed back spotless. Our move in cleaning teams work to an inventory-grade checklist from top to bottom.

Local knowledge matters: Merton is 7.6 miles from central London and full of 1930s semis, terraced family homes and modern flats. That means planning for driveways, side gates and on-street parking and detailing through-lounges, conservatories and busy family kitchens.

Homes in Merton at a glance: Edwardian terraces around Wimbledon and 1930s semis towards Morden and Mitcham. Family houses usually mean more bathrooms and bigger kitchens, which is why our tenancy prices are set by bedroom count.

What affects the price in Merton?

We price move in cleaning in Merton by property size rather than by the hour, which keeps things simple and fair. Extras are shown with their own fixed price, and online bookings are confirmed instantly.

Because much of Merton is made up of 1930s semis, terraced family homes and modern flats, the details that affect time are usually through-lounges, conservatories and busy family kitchens and access — driveways, side gates and on-street parking. Add these to your booking notes and your team will plan for them.

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 move in cleaning in Merton

The best time for move in cleaning in Merton is after the removal van has gone and before your inspection, ideally the day before. Month-end dates book up fastest across Merton, so reserve your slot early and add key collection if you have already handed keys to the agent.

Getting your deposit back in Merton

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.
