Location
Exeter, Devon
Full deep clean after you've moved out. Property left spotless for landlord inspection or handover to buyers. Ovens cleaned, floors scrubbed, bathrooms gleaming - everything that affects deposit returns or sale impressions.
That Deposit Isn't Coming Back Unless...
You've moved out but the property needs to be spotless for the landlord inspection or handover. There's marks on walls, the oven's been used for two years without a proper clean, bathroom grout's looking tired, and you're exhausted from the actual move.
Professional end-of-tenancy cleaning means the place is pristine for inspection. Removes one of the main reasons landlords withhold deposits.
💡 Pro tip: Book cleaning for the day after you move out. Property's empty so easier to clean thoroughly, and inspection usually happens within a few days.

What to Expect
Step 1: Quote & Book
You tell me property size and condition, I quote accurately. We book it for after you've moved out (easier when empty).
Step 2: Deep Clean
I work through the whole property systematically - kitchen appliances, bathrooms, floors, all the details that get checked on inventory.
Step 3: Final Walk-Through
I check everything's done properly, then secure property and return keys however you've arranged (agent, landlord, post through door).
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to do it yourself to save money? Here's the checklist:
🔧 You'll need:
- Oven cleaner (proper stuff, not surface spray)
- Bathroom cleaner with bleach
- All-purpose cleaner
- Glass cleaner
- Vacuum and mop
- Cloths, scourers, old toothbrush for grout
- Rubber gloves
📐 Room by room approach:
Kitchen (hardest, start here):
- Oven - use proper oven cleaner, leave it working while you do other things
- Hob - degrease thoroughly, including under burners
- Extractor fan - clean filters, wipe down
- Fridge/freezer - empty, defrost if needed, wipe inside and out
- Cupboards - wipe inside and out (landlords check inside)
- Worktops - deep clean, get into corners
- Sink - descale taps, clean drain
- Floor - sweep, mop, get into corners
Bathrooms (second priority): 9. Toilet - bleach, scrub, including under rim 10. Shower/bath - descale, clean tiles, scrub grout with old toothbrush 11. Sink - descale taps, clean around base 12. Mirrors - clean properly, no smears 13. Floor - clean behind toilet, around base
Throughout: 14. All floors - vacuum carpets thoroughly, mop hard floors 15. Skirting boards - wipe down (surprisingly dusty) 16. Light switches - wipe clean (get grubby fast) 17. Door frames - wipe down, get marks off 18. Windows - clean inside, outside ground floor 19. Windowsills - vacuum and wipe
⚠️ Common things that fail inspection:
- Oven not properly cleaned (most common)
- Bathroom grout still discolored
- Marks on walls not cleaned
- Carpets not vacuumed properly
- Behind/under appliances not cleaned
- Window tracks still dirty
💡 Pro trick: Take photos of everything once you've cleaned. If landlord claims it wasn't clean, you've got proof. Include oven interior, bathroom grout, floors - anything they might dispute.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🏠 Sold your house? Buyers appreciate a properly cleaned property on handover day. Makes a good final impression and starts them off on the right foot.
Rental deposit disputes: Cleaning is one of the top reasons landlords withhold deposits. Professional clean with receipt gives you evidence if you need to dispute.
Exeter rental market: Local letting agents know the standard expected - I'm familiar with what they check for, so I make sure it's done.
Combine with repairs: If you need any minor repairs doing before handover (filling holes, touching up paint), I can combine it with the clean - saves you multiple visits.
Timing: Book as soon as you know your moving date. Gets very busy at month-ends when lots of rentals turn over.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as end of tenancy cleaning?
Exactly the same thing - deep clean of the whole property after you've moved out, ready for landlord inspection or handover to buyers. Kitchen appliances, bathrooms, floors, windows, everything.
What's included in a move-out clean?
Full property clean: kitchen (inc oven, fridge, cupboards), bathrooms (tiles, grout, toilet, shower), all floors, skirting boards, windows, light switches, door frames. Basically anything the inventory or landlord will check.
Does this guarantee I'll get my deposit back?
Can't guarantee it (landlords can be fussy), but a professional clean gives you the best chance. Most deposit disputes include cleanliness - getting it done properly removes that argument.
Do I need to be there?
No - most people hand keys over to me, I clean while they're dealing with the new house, then post keys back through letterbox or drop them to agent. One less thing to coordinate on moving day.
How much does it cost?
Depends on property size and condition. 1-bed flat might be £120-150, 3-bed house £200-300. I'll quote accurately once I know what I'm dealing with. Call for specific quote.
