What affects the price in Royal Docks?

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 Royal Docks

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

Getting your deposit back in Royal Docks

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.
