This 2026 guide explains typical UK end of tenancy cleaning costs, Properly Services’ current prices, what affects the final quote, prices by property size and what to check when comparing cleaning companies.
There is no single fixed UK price for end of tenancy cleaning. Companies use different package definitions, and services such as ovens, appliance interiors, carpets, extra bathrooms and exterior windows may be included or charged separately.
For properties in average cleaning condition, Properly Services currently uses the following starting prices:
| Property size | Properly Services price from | Typical cleaning time |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | £150 | About 2 hours |
| 1 bedroom | £180 | About 3 hours |
| 2 bedrooms | £195 | About 3.5 hours |
| 3 bedrooms | £215 | About 4 hours |
| 4 bedrooms | £250 | About 4.5 hours |
| 5 bedrooms | £300 | About 5.5 hours |
These are starting prices for properties in average cleaning condition. Additional bathrooms or rooms, heavier cleaning requirements and optional services can increase the final booking price. Cleaning times are operating estimates rather than guaranteed appointment lengths.
Published UK price guides show a wide range of end of tenancy cleaning costs. The differences reflect property size, location, cleaning condition and what each provider includes in its standard package.
| Property size | Indicative published UK range | Properly Services from |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | About £100–£180 | £150 |
| 1 bedroom | About £120–£220 | £180 |
| 2 bedrooms | About £140–£260+ | £195 |
| 3 bedrooms | About £240–£470 | £215 |
| 4–5 bedrooms | About £280–£500+ | £250–£300 |
These market ranges are indicative rather than official UK averages. Cleaning companies use different package definitions, pricing methods and inclusions, so two quotes for the same property size may cover different work.
The main factors affecting end of tenancy cleaning cost are property size, number of bathrooms, cleaning condition, optional services, access and location.
For 1–5 bedroom properties, the standard Properly Services property-size package includes:
Internal oven cleaning is separately priced for 1–5 bedroom packages and does not count towards the three included appliance interiors. The studio package includes all appliance interiors, including the oven.
For the full room-by-room scope, see what end of tenancy cleaning includes.
Properly Services studio end of tenancy cleaning starts from £150. The package includes the living/sleeping area, kitchen, bathroom/toilet, interior windows, radiator exteriors and all appliance interiors, including the oven. A studio clean typically takes around 2 hours in average condition.
A 1-bedroom end of tenancy clean starts from £180 with Properly Services. An average-condition 1-bedroom property typically takes around 3 hours.
A 2-bedroom end of tenancy clean starts from £195 with Properly Services. An average-condition 2-bedroom property typically takes around 3.5 hours. Additional bathrooms, oven cleaning, professional carpet cleaning or heavier cleaning requirements can increase the final price.
A 3-bedroom end of tenancy clean starts from £215 with Properly Services. Typical cleaning time is around 4 hours for an average-condition property.
A 4-bedroom end of tenancy clean starts from £250 with Properly Services. Typical cleaning time is around 4.5 hours. Larger properties may also contain extra bathrooms, reception rooms or utility areas that need to be included in the quote.
A 5-bedroom end of tenancy clean starts from £300 with Properly Services. Typical cleaning time is around 5.5 hours, although layouts and additional rooms can vary significantly between larger properties.
Property condition, team size, access and additional services can change the time required. See our end of tenancy cleaning duration guide for more detail.
Optional services can increase the final booking price, so they should be considered when comparing quotes.
For current Properly Services packages and optional services, see our cleaning prices.
End of tenancy cleaning can be more expensive in London than in many other parts of the UK. Higher labour costs, paid parking, permits, congestion, travel time and controlled building access can all affect the cost of providing the service.
Location is not the only factor, however. A large or heavily soiled property outside London can still cost more than a smaller average-condition London flat.
For London-specific prices, local booking information and completed-job examples, see our London end of tenancy cleaning price guide.
Compare the final cleaning scope rather than the advertised starting price alone. A cheaper-looking quote may become more expensive if important services are added later.
Some cleaning companies quote according to the property and agreed cleaning scope, while others charge by the hour. An hourly rate alone does not show the final job cost because the total depends on the number of cleaners and how long the work takes.
Properly Services prices end of tenancy cleaning primarily according to the agreed property-size package and cleaning scope. Optional services and requirements outside the standard package are added where applicable before the booking is confirmed.
A re-clean guarantee can be useful if an eligible cleaning issue is identified after the appointment. Properly Services provides a 7-day re-clean guarantee for eligible cleaning issues, subject to the agreed cleaning scope and our guarantee terms.
The tenant is normally responsible for returning the property to the required standard of cleanliness, but that does not necessarily mean they must pay for a professional cleaning company. A tenant can clean the property themselves or arrange a cleaner of their choice.
For tenancies covered by the Tenant Fees Act 2019 in England, a landlord or letting agent cannot normally require a tenant to pay for a specific professional cleaning service simply because the tenancy is ending. If the property is returned less clean than required, a landlord may instead seek a reasonable cleaning deduction from the deposit where the condition and cost are supported by evidence.
See our guides to whether end of tenancy cleaning is mandatory and landlord cleaning charges and deposit deductions for more detail.
End of tenancy cleaning can start at around £100–£180 for smaller properties and rise to £300–£500 or more for larger homes, depending on the company, location, condition and services included. Properly Services currently starts from £150 for a studio and £300 for a 5-bedroom property.
Properly Services currently charges from £180 for a 1-bedroom property in average cleaning condition. Optional services or heavier cleaning requirements can increase the final booking price.
Properly Services currently charges from £195 for a 2-bedroom end of tenancy clean in average condition. Additional bathrooms, extra rooms, oven cleaning, professional carpet cleaning or heavier cleaning requirements can increase the final price.
It depends on the cleaning package. Properly Services includes oven cleaning in the studio package. For 1–5 bedroom packages, internal oven cleaning is separately priced and does not count as one of the three included appliance interiors.
Standard vacuuming is included as part of the normal Properly Services clean, but professional carpet extraction is a separate specialist service.
End of tenancy cleaning is normally more detailed than routine domestic cleaning and can involve cupboards, appliance interiors, bathrooms, limescale, windows, radiators, skirting boards and floors throughout the property. Property size, condition and specialist services can all increase the amount of work required.
No. A tenant can normally clean the property themselves if they can return it to the required standard. In England, professional cleaning cannot normally be imposed simply as a mandatory end-of-tenancy service.
No. Cleaning is only one part of the property’s final condition. Damage, missing items and other tenancy issues can also affect a deposit. Check-in inventories, check-out reports and photographs can be important evidence.

Properly Services’ typical operating estimates range from around 2 hours for a studio to around 5.5 hours for a 5-bedroom property. Property condition, team size, access and additional services can change the time required.
