Who Our Service Is For
Renters and Homeowners Moving Out
If you are moving out of a flat or house in Islington, our service is designed to help you meet your tenancy agreement requirements. We focus on the details that often lead to deposit deductions: limescale, grease, dust on skirting and fittings, and marks on doors or light switches.
Landlords and Letting Agents
We work closely with local landlords, estate agents and property managers who need a reliable, professional partner to reset properties between tenancies. Our cleans help minimise void periods and present your property at its absolute best for viewings and new move-ins.
Businesses and Office Tenants
For commercial tenants leaving offices or studios, we provide tailored end of tenancy style cleans: kitchens, toilets, communal areas and workspaces. We can work to building management checklists and coordinate with your facilities team for access and security.
Students in Shared Accommodation

Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or our online form with basic details: property size, number of bathrooms, flooring type and whether you need carpets or oven cleaning. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with a breakdown of what is included. Prices are fixed for the agreed scope, so you know exactly what you will pay.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most properties we can quote accurately from photos or videos, which we review to understand the condition of the kitchen, bathrooms and flooring. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend a short onsite survey. This helps us allocate the right size team and time, and flag any special requirements in advance.
3. Preparation Before Cleaning Day
We ask that the property is emptied of personal belongings and rubbish before we arrive, and that any ongoing maintenance work is completed. If appliances such as fridges and freezers need to be cleaned inside, they should be defrosted and switched off in advance. Our team then arrives at the agreed time with all equipment, products and protective materials needed.
Local Expertise in Islington
Cleaners Islington is a locally based company with years of experience working in period conversions, mansion blocks and modern developments across N1 and the surrounding areas. We understand the quirks of local housing stock: high ceilings, original floorboards, sash windows and compact kitchens. Our teams are used to working within building rules, concierge systems and parking restrictions common in Islington.
Many of our regular clients come through recommendations from local landlords and agents who value our punctuality, consistent standards and clear communication.
Transparent Pricing and How We Charge
Our end of tenancy cleaning is priced primarily by property size, number of bathrooms and the optional extras you choose. We provide:
- Fixed quotations for typical one to four bedroom properties
- Itemised pricing for add-ons such as carpet and oven cleaning
- No hidden charges for standard equipment or cleaning products
Heavily soiled properties or those requiring additional time will be discussed openly before the booking is confirmed. We do not adjust agreed prices on the day without speaking to you first. Payment can be made by bank transfer, card or cash, with invoices available for tenants, landlords or businesses.
Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Over DIY
Attempting a full move-out clean yourself, especially on top of packing and moving, is demanding and time-consuming. Professional cleaners bring:
- The right products and equipment to tackle limescale, grease and ingrained dirt effectively
- Experience with inventory standards and the key areas agents check closely
- A structured approach that covers every room methodically
- Time savings during an already stressful moving period
While DIY cleaning can seem cheaper, missed areas often lead to recall cleans or deposit deductions. Our trained teams focus on the details so you do not have to re-clean at short notice.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Cleaners Islington operates with full, up-to-date insurance and well-trained teams for your peace of mind:
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to the property while we work
- Goods in transit insurance – covers our equipment and materials during transport to and from your property
- Trained cleaning teams – our cleaners are instructed in product use, surface care and safe working practices
We use appropriate, well-maintained equipment and professional-grade cleaning solutions. Health and safety procedures are followed at all times, and we respect building rules and neighbours.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat each property as if it were our own. Our teams use corner protectors, dust sheets where suitable and take care around delicate surfaces and fixtures. Materials and products are chosen to be effective while minimising unnecessary harsh chemicals where possible.
We aim to reduce waste by using concentrated solutions, re-usable microfibres and well-maintained equipment. When clients request it, we can prioritise lower-impact products for a more environmentally conscious clean, while still meeting tenancy standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning in Islington cost?
Pricing depends on the size and condition of the property, plus any extras such as carpet or oven cleaning. As a guide, smaller studio and one-bedroom flats cost less than larger family houses with multiple bathrooms. We provide a fixed quotation once we know the number of rooms, bathrooms and specific requirements. There are no hidden charges for standard products or equipment. If a property is unusually soiled, we will discuss this honestly in advance so you can decide how you wish to proceed.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?
We understand that moves do not always go to plan, and last-minute cleaning is sometimes needed. Where our schedule allows, we can arrange same-day or next-day end of tenancy cleans in Islington, particularly outside the busiest weekends. The more notice you can give, the better the chance of securing your preferred time. For urgent bookings, calling us is usually faster than emailing. We will always be clear about availability and realistic start times before confirming any last-minute appointment.
Are you insured if something is damaged during cleaning?
Yes. We hold comprehensive public liability cover, which protects against accidental damage to the property while our team is working. We also maintain goods in transit insurance for our own equipment and materials as we travel to and from your address. Our cleaners are trained to treat your home and contents with care, and incidents are rare. In the unlikely event that something does go wrong, we follow a clear reporting and resolution process so issues are dealt with promptly and professionally.
What exactly is included in your end of tenancy cleaning service?
Our standard service covers a full deep clean of all rooms: kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, hallways and stairs. This includes surfaces, cupboards, skirting boards, doors, internal windows and floors. We focus on key areas that agents scrutinise, such as limescale in bathrooms and grease in kitchens. Interior oven, carpet and upholstery cleaning are not automatically included but can be added as extras. We will always confirm in writing what is and is not included in your particular booking before the date of the clean.
How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy clean?
Where possible, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks before your tenancy end date, especially if you are moving at the end of a month or during peak moving periods. This gives you the best choice of time slots and allows us to plan for any extras you may need, such as carpet or oven cleaning. That said, we do our best to accommodate shorter notice. Once you know your check-out or inventory date, it is wise to reserve your cleaning slot so everything is ready in good time.
