If it's all sounding good so far, then here's what you need to do to have our tenancy cleaners arrive at your Castleford property, armed with all the cleaning materials and professional equipment they need to do a fantastic job!
The very first thing you need to do is contact us. Every end of tenancy (or EOT) cleaning service is different, and we want to make sure we deliver exactly what you need, when you need it.
We have a range of services on offer, some with an additional cost, some already included in a standard end of tenancy professional cleaning service (more on that below) - so we would love to know what you need so we can work out how to meet your needs best.
By contacting us and providing us with information about:
We'll be able to give you a free quote and an idea of your end of tenancy cleaning cost. So if you want to learn more, contact us today.
If, after our quote, you decide to schedule our end of tenancy cleaning, then there are just a few things you need to do.
Whilst booking your appointment with us, you must ensure you schedule the cleaning to take place at the very end of your tenancy. Otherwise, we won't be able to guarantee that you'll get your deposit back.
Next, you'll need to make sure that all of your personal belongings are out of the property before we clean. That way, we'll be able to do a thorough job. We won't be able to carry out effective carpet cleaning, for example, if all of your furniture is still in the property. It's important that everything you own is out of the property before we begin. Everything that's left should have been in the property when you first arrived. And if it's there, we can clean it!
Once your property is empty, our tenancy cleaners will be ready to come in and carry out the cleaning services.
On the day of your end of tenancy cleaning, you'll need to be available to let our team in. It's also a great opportunity for you to ask any questions or point out any particular problem areas you would like us to tackle.
If you're not available at the time of your appointment, then you can always send a trusted someone along to open up the property to give us access. However, we find our clients are almost always happier when they're there to greet us themselves. That way, you can see the finished result for yourself too.
By all means, feel free to leave whilst we complete our deep clean of your property. Whilst we're at work, you can put your feet up and relax, knowing that everything that needs to be done will be. We never miss a beat when it comes to cleaning our clients' properties, because we know how important getting your deposit back is!
Once you've got your property professionally cleaned, you can be confident that all of the standards have been met. However, if something goes wrong, you can notify us immediately with your letting agent/landlord's inspection report with the issue, and we'll come back and do a free re clean, meaning you won't need to pay out any more. We'll discuss more about our re clean policy below.
To be clear, some of the Castleford cleaning services we offer below aren't included in our standard end of tenancy cleaning package. However, we're listing everything we offer below so you can start thinking about what your property needs. No hard sell here, we'll simply talk you through what we can do, so you can decide what we should do...
Professional carpet cleaning is a key cleaning service when carrying out a tenancy clean. Carpet cleaning will ensure that the property is ready for new tenants and it will help remove the old dirt and grime. When deep cleaning your carpets, we can also ensure that the dirt you can't see is removed too, leaving the old carpets as good as new.
Clean carpets is one of the first things a letting agency or landlord will look for when carrying out their inspection to determine how much of your deposit will be returned to you. Only with professional carpet cleaning can you be certain that it will meet their high standards.
By using a technique called hot water extraction, we can perform a deep carpet clean like no other. It requires professional equipment to get the job done, but our cleaning technicians are all trained to use it effectively and it will guarantee great results during the tenancy clean.
Another really important part of the inspection your letting agency or landlord will carry out is looking at the state of the built in goods that came with the house when you first started renting. And the biggest problem area by far is bound to be your oven.
Think about it, you've been using this same oven for as long as you've been in the property, so that's going to build up a lot of grease, oil, and burnt scraps of food. Sure, you might clean your oven during spring cleaning, but the likelihood is, you won't have tried professional oven cleaning, right?
Our oven cleaning regime is thorough. We'll clean and degrease the entire oven, the hobs, the grill, and all of the shelving inside. We'll wipe down the rubber seal and doors and make sure the whole thing is sanitised and looking like new.
Our oven cleaning will likely fall under 'additional services', but it's a really important task for our move out cleaners to carry out, because it's almost always a problem area during the inspection. With our oven cleaning skills, that problem is wiped away!
Upholstery cleaning is one of those cleaning services renters overlook, but it's one that can make the world of difference when it comes to inspection time when a lot of upholstered goods came with the property to start with.
End of tenancy cleaning is about more than just a one off cleaning blitz of your home, tackling the obvious areas and then leaving the rest to chance. It's about the small details. The things we might overlook in our homes every day, because we're used to living there, but when done, will make a huge difference to the cleanliness of a rental property. The upholstery is just one example of this.
Our cleaning services will tackle all the upholstery in the property to ensure that everything looks great, smells amazing, and is spotlessly clean.
Exterior window cleaning will come at an extra charge, but again, it's something that's worth doing. When booking additional services with us after booking an end of tenancy cleaning service, we're able to offer much better discounts and package deals. That means that if we clean the exterior of your windows, it'll be much cheaper than if your landlord or letting agency had to pay someone to come out and clean just this area.
Why are we making that point? It's not to force you to add more work you don't need. If the exterior of your windows are clean, then don't add the service. But if you think it will need doing anyway, then you might as well add it with us, so we can give you the best possible deal, right?
That just makes sense.
You might not think that external window cleaning is a big part of the inspection, but of course, it has to be. When the property is let back out on the rental market, it'll be important that everything is looking shipshape, including the exterior of the property. Rather than being charged for it out of your deposit, we can handle it for you, making sure the outside of the property looks just as fantastic as the inside.
Wall cleaning - again - it's another one of those tasks that people forget. Walls rarely get dirty, after all... or so people believe. In actual fact, you would be surprised by how many times people assume their walls need painting, when all they really need is a thorough clean.
Paint is made to last, and the paint most letting agents and landlords use in rental properties are especially so. They need paint that's durable, and won't fade easily. And thankfully for you, this type of paint is also able to be cleaned.
During our end of tenancy cleaning service, we'll be able to spot clean every wall in your property, making sure that the paint beneath is able to stand out. Grubby hand prints, dirt, dust, and natural grime can all make your paint look worse than it actually is. With a thorough clean from us, the paint will be as good as new, and your landlord/letting agency will be happy that they don't need to repaint the property to bring it up to standards too, so everybody wins.
Washing machine cleaning is a service we carry out a lot as an end of tenancy cleaning company, and it's one that ought to sit near the top of the cleaning checklist because it's such an important part of the inspection, and so many people neglect it.
Your washing machine needs a thorough clean during your end of tenancy cleaning to get it ready for the next tenants that will move in after you. If you don't take care of it, then some of the money from your deposit will have to.
We will thoroughly clean your washing machine and tumble dryer so it's like new, paying special attention to the dust and lint filters, the rubber seal, and making sure that the inside of the machines shine and smell great.
Our professional end of tenancy cleaning really focuses on jobs like these that are easy to forget, making sure you get every penny of your deposit back.
Another appliance that will need cleaning is the fridge in the property. Our end of tenancy cleaning service includes this as standard, because our tenancy cleaners know how important it is to sanitise a fridge before the next tenants move in.
We'll make sure every shelf, the door frames, the back of the fridge and the freezer are taken care of, ready for the inspection. In order to do this, though, we ask that the fridge and freezer are fully defrosted for our arrival.
Only if they are defrosted can we make sure that every inch of the appliance is thoroughly clean. If you forget to defrost them ahead of time, then we can still clean them, but they won't be as thorough and any faults found with these areas at the time of inspection will mean that we're not liable, and thus a free re clean wouldn't be offered in this case.
If it's defrosted and ready to be cleaned, though, then we'll take care of it!
And finally, we'll carry out all of the usual domestic cleaning jobs people typically forget:
The list really does go on. The point is, as part of our end of tenancy cleaning service, we leave no stone unturned.
Of course, as we've already mentioned, not all of the services listed above are included in a standard end of tenancy cleaning package - so it's your responsibility to decide what you need help with, and what you can handle yourself.
That's why it's always a good idea to contact us and discuss the size of your property and the work you would like us to do before we give you a quote for how much it will cost, because we can't say for certain because no two cleaning tenancy services are ever the same.
Take a look at your property, decide what needs to be done, and then reach out today so we can tailor our end of tenancy cleaning to you!
Do you want to see how thorough we are during our professional end of tenancy cleaning? Well, here's a snippet of the end of tenancy cleaning checklist we use whenever we clean a property to make sure that everything is as it should be.
To help you understand just some of what we do, here are the areas we target in a few example rooms:
There's plenty more where these examples came from too. The point is, we're thorough when we carry out a professional end of tenancy service. An end of tenancy clean should leave no stone unturned, and we don't!
Honest answer? We don't know. Or rather, we don't know until we know more about you, your property, and what you actually need to have done to the property. We have covered this though in an article about “how much is an end of tenancy clean” to give you some rough ideas of prices. We can, however, give you an idea about the costs involved:
Call our Castleford team today and we can discuss your specific circumstances and needs, and give you a free, no obligation quote too!
If you're wondering how many cleaners will attend on the day of your tenancy clean, the answer is simple: as many as it takes. Our team is very well organised, so we can decide which members of our team need to be where on any given day that we're operating.
But don't worry. If it's a big job, we'll make sure the cleaners we send out are enough to get the job done to a high standard as quickly as possible. And all of our cleaners receive the same training, so there is no lottery when it comes to the results we deliver. If we promise an excellent finish, an excellent finish is what you'll get, no matter who is on site on the day of the clean!
By the tenancy cleaning end, you should notice a HUGE difference. But more than that, your landlord and/or letting agency should too. And if they're not satisfied, then simply show us their inspection report and we'll come back and fix the issue for free, meaning you don't have to give up any of your deposit.
With that said, when we're on site, we may have to pick out some areas that we won't be responsible for. For example, if you didn't defrost your freezer and we couldn't clean it as thoroughly as we would have liked, if there is a problem with the freezer, we wouldn't be responsible for it.
Still, our results are guaranteed so long as you have the inspection carried out quickly after the cleaning has taken place (preferably the same day, and even better if our team is still on site when the inspection takes place so we can fix any issues immediately).
With that in mind, you should try to book an appointment with us on the same day that the inspection is due to take place. That way, there will be no issues. Just make sure you book everything on the same day (being mindful of a bank holiday or the weekend if your landlord is unavailable etc), and you'll get the results you're hoping for!

End of tenancy cleaning costs vary depending on the size of your home but we have written an article about this entitled “how much is an end of tenancy clean?” to give you a rough idea.
Yes they are well within their rights to take the cost of an end of tenancy clean out of your deposit as the tenant is expected to leave the property at the same standard of cleanliness as when they moved in. If an independent viewer like an estate agent deems the property not clean then yes a landlord can charge you for an end of tenancy clean.
The house needs to be the same standard of cleanliness as when you moved in. Some tenancy agreements state that you must have a professional clean done before you move out.
Worn carpets as opposed to dirty carpets would fall under wear and tear as would any other signs of wear around the home. If something is dirty that is more under the label of not professionally cleaned. If something is damaged then that would fall under damage.
