End-of-tenancy cleaning across London and the M25 to a deposit-back, agent-ready standard, checklist-driven, with a re-clean if the agent flags anything.
End of tenancy cleaning is the regulated-by-convention deep clean carried out at the end of a rental tenancy to return the property to the standard listed in the move-in inventory. It is significantly more thorough than a regular domestic clean, covering inside ovens, behind appliances, descaled fixtures, sanitised touchpoints, skirting-level dust, window tracks, and the surfaces only inspected at check-out. The scope is set by what the inventory clerk will actually photograph and tick off; getting any of those items wrong is the most common cause of deposit deductions.
Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) and DPS data shows that "cleaning" is consistently the single largest category of contested deposit claims in the UK rental sector. A thorough EOT clean removes the single biggest reason tenants lose part of their deposit. The re-clean guarantee model exists precisely because the scope is inspector-driven; if the clerk identifies missed areas, the cleaner returns and puts it right rather than the tenant losing the dispute.
Six clean zones cover the full property.
Oven, hob, and extractor fan inside and out, degreased to bare-metal where possible. Fridge and freezer defrosted and cleaned inside and out. All cupboards and drawers wiped inside and out. Worktops, splashbacks, and sink descaled and sanitised. Washing machine, dishwasher, and microwave detail-cleaned.
Toilet, bath, and shower descaled and sanitised. Tiles and grout scrubbed and treated for mould. Mirror, glass, and chrome fittings polished streak-free. Extractor fan cleaned and dust removed. Sealant inspected and reported if regrouting needed.
Skirting boards, door frames, and light switches wiped down. Windows cleaned inside with sills and frames. Floors vacuumed and mopped. Cobwebs removed from ceilings and corners. Radiators dusted and wiped. Wardrobes and built-in storage cleaned inside.
Stairs, hallways, and entrance areas cleaned including bannisters, light fittings, and door handles. Doormats lifted and floor cleaned underneath. Storage cupboards and meter boxes wiped if accessible.
Every glass surface (windows inside, mirrors, shower screens, internal glass doors) polished streak-free with commercial-grade glass cleaner. All hard surfaces sanitised including handles, switches, and frequently-touched points.
Carpets vacuumed thoroughly with HEPA-filter equipment. Hard floors mopped with appropriate cleaners. Carpet stain treatment included where stains are spot-treatable; deep extraction available as an add-on for heavy stains.
If the letting agent or inventory clerk raises any cleaning issue from the check-out inspection, we return within 7 days and address it at no additional cost. The deposit-protection model that makes EOT cleaning actually worth booking.
We clean to what the clerk inspects, not what looks tidy. Every cleaner on our team has worked through dozens of London inventory check-outs and knows the items most commonly flagged.
Commercial-grade degreasers, descalers, sanitisers, and HEPA-filter hoovers. You provide nothing, we arrive with everything needed including bin bags and microfibre cloths.
Every clean is carried out by a vetted, insured cleaner, and the same team member returns for any repeat booking, so you get consistency as well as cover.
Phone 020 8068 2295, email, or fill the form. Tell us the bedroom count, move-out date, and access arrangement (key with letting agent, key under mat, you present, etc.).
Within 24 hours we confirm your slot and what's included. End-of-month dates fill up fast, so book at least 7 days ahead where you can.
Commercial-grade products, HEPA-filter hoovers, microfibre cloths, and the experience to clean to inventory-clerk standard. Vans signed if you need ID for the letting agent.
3–8 hours depending on bedroom count. We work systematically through every room, every surface, every detail an inventory clerk will photograph.
Photo-documented for your records if requested. 7-day re-clean guarantee on every job. If the clerk flags anything, we come back at our cost.
According to the Tenancy Deposit Scheme annual statistical report, "cleaning" is consistently the single largest category of disputed UK deposit claims, with hundreds of millions in tenant deposits at stake each year. The 2023–24 TDS data showed cleaning claims accounting for over 50% of all dispute cases the scheme adjudicates. The case for booking an EOT clean is built directly on this data: it removes the single biggest reason UK tenants lose part of their deposit.
Our cleaners are vetted, public liability insured, and highly rated on Google and Checkatrade. Re-clean guarantee on every EOT job.
ARI Maintenance is led by Arianne ‘Ari’ Raofi, founder. End of tenancy cleaning is carried out by a consistent team of vetted, experienced cleaners who specialise in inventory-standard work.
“The biggest deposit deductions come from items the tenant didn’t even know would be inspected: behind the fridge, inside the extractor, the window tracks, the sealant in the shower. Our job is to clean to what the clerk actually photographs, not what looks tidy.”
Every clean is carried out by a vetted, insured cleaner working to inventory-clerk standard, backed by a 7-day re-clean guarantee if anything is flagged at check-out. If the property needs more time than expected, we stay and finish it properly rather than rush the job.
