Has anyone recently had an end of tenancy clean done by an agency & how much did you pay?

We're moving in a couple of months and after the last time we moved house we vowed we would never do the cleaning again. Even though we had a couple of days between moving in to the new place and vacating the old one we were absolutely shattered. We have a deposit of £1400 riding on it being cleaned properly so I'm interested in knowing how much it is likely to cost. It is a 3 bed with through lounge, kitchen/diner & bathroom. Am happy to sort out the front/back gardens and the garage though would prefer windows to be included.

When you say done by an agency, do you mean you'd ask the letting agent to organise it? Personally I'd rather organise it myself so I was in control of £perhour and I'd expect to pay around £100, tops £150 inc windows, oven. Another £100 if cleaning carpets.

I had one for @120 fairly small cottage included carpets in 2 rooms

I just did almost exactly that. I charged £150 including carpets cleaned with a rug doctor and inside windows. I am a one man band though, expect to pay double for a national company.

Oh sorry no oven, that would have been an extra £20

I mean getting a cleaning agency in to do the clean, not the letting agency.

OK so roughly £100 for the cleaning, £50 for the carpets plus £20 for oven. So should be around the £200 mark. I think this is quite reasonable considering how long it would take us to do it. I thought it would be at least double this.

I think it is worth doing but shop around and make sure they will do everything. I followed an agency who wouldn't clean above head height because of health and safety once!

Yes I will get some quotes & make it clear what we want doing. Ridiculous not going above head height. What about tops of kitchen units & cobwebs on the ceiling?!

A good few years ago I paid about £200-£250 for a full clean - smallish 3 bedroom house - not my current home.
Then I found they hadn't doe the oven. I called the company, it was just missed, they came back and did it immediately.

I've just paid about £300 for a 2bed 2bath London flat including carpet cleaning, windows & upholstery.

If you do it, make sure the guarantee is at least 48 and preferably 36 hours ( gives time to get the end of tennacy check out report) and ask about it before booking cleaning & check out report.

Mine was London and all seemed to be about the same. And I had to pay for blinds to be cleaned.

I'm in North West England and recently paid £70 for an end of tenancy clean, would have been £40 more with the oven done. That was for a four bed, two bath house.
