End of Tenancy Cleaning in Southwark

Leaving a Peckham conversion or a riverside flat in Rotherhithe? Most deposit disputes come down to cleaning, and the inventory clerk will spot a greasy oven or limescale on the taps straight away. Our fixed-price clean follows the clerk’s checklist line by line. It’s carried out by insured, DBS-checked teams, so you hand back the keys knowing the report has nothing to flag.

The Inventory Clerks Don’t Ask If It Looks Clean. They Check.

Cleaning is the most common reason for deposit disputes. At check-out, the inventory clerk compares each room with the check-in report and goes straight to the places tenants miss.

Those places are where our checklist starts.

What the clerk checks

  1. Tops of doors – above eye level for tenants, right at eye level for a clerk’s fingertip.
  2. Extractor filters – lifted out and checked for grease.
  3. Window runners and sash channels – grit, dust and dead insects in the tracks.
  4. Grout – grey lines in showers and behind taps.
  5. Inside the oven fan housing – behind the back panel, where burnt grease hides.
  6. Behind the fridge – dust and crumbs once it’s pulled out.
  7. Skirting boards – dust and scuffs along every edge of every room.

Move-out Cleaning Across Southwark

Deposits are rarely lost over big things. More often it’s grease on the extractor hood, scale on a shower screen, or dust along the skirting. Inventory clerks know exactly where to look, and they compare every room against the photos taken at check-in. Southwark’s housing ranges from Georgian and Victorian terraces with tall sashes and picture rails to new-build flats where glossy kitchens and full-height glazing show every mark. Our teams clean to that standard in every type of home. We read your check-in inventory before we start, because that’s the document the property will be judged against.

Most moves happen at the end of the month, with removal vans, key handovers and check-out appointments all in the same few days. We take the cleaning off your list. We collect and hold keys if you’ve already moved out, work evenings and weekends to fit tight handovers, and give you a fixed price before we start. Whether you’re leaving an estate flat in Walworth or a family house in Dulwich, the result is the same: a property that’s ready for inspection and a clerk’s report with nothing to dispute.

Access and parking

Controlled parking zones cover most of north and central Southwark, and parts of SE1 are inside the Congestion Charge zone. Old Kent Road, Jamaica Road, Tower Bridge Road and the South Circular through Dulwich are red routes, so we can’t stop outside even briefly.

When you book, we’ll check permits and arrange a visitor permit or bay suspension where needed. We time our arrival around your removal van, and for upper-floor flats we bring compact kit that’s easy to carry upstairs.

Bermondsey

Warehouse lofts have exposed brick, metal-framed windows and open-plan kitchens, and clerks check all of them closely. We clean high ledges, glazing and stainless steel properly, so the property looks as good as it did in the original listing photos.

Rotherhithe

Riverside apartments come with concierge desks, lift bookings and balconies that face the weather. We arrange building access in advance, and leave the frameless showers and glass balustrades free of hard-water marks.

Peckham

Victorian terraces and conversion flats with busy kitchens and small bathrooms. Grease, limescale and mould in the silicone are the most common reasons for deductions here, and that’s where our teams spend the most time.

Camberwell

Georgian and Victorian houses with deep skirting, panelled doors and tall sash windows. Clerks check every ledge and runner, so we leave extra time for the period features a standard clean tends to miss.

End of tenancy cleaning in Camberwell

East Dulwich

Large family houses with several bathrooms, gardens and, often, pets. We deal with hair, muddy floors, scuffed doors and busy kitchens, and can add a carpet clean on the same visit, so you can hand back the house in one go.

Walworth

Estate flats, period terraces and new-builds around Elephant Park. Many have narrow stairwells and very little parking. We plan access carefully and finish within your handover window.

What Southwark Tenants and Landlords Say

★★★★★ Trustpilot 5.0 from 452 reviews · Google 4.7 from 361 reviews

End of tenancy clean
“We’d been in the flat for five years and the bathroom grout had gone grey. I honestly expected to lose a chunk of the deposit. The check-out report came back without a single cleaning note, and the full deposit was in my account within a fortnight.”

Amelia S. · Bournemouth Road, SE15

Landlord turnaround clean
“I live outside London, so the key holding was what sold it for me. They collected the keys from the outgoing tenant, cleaned the house the next day and sent me photos that evening. The agent had it re-let before the end of the week.”

Patrick N. · Benhill Road, SE5

Apartment move-out
“My building has a concierge, lift slots and strict contractor rules, and my removal van was booked for the same morning. They fitted around all of it, came back in the evening to finish once the flat was empty, and the clerk had nothing to add.”

End of Tenancy Cleaning in Southwark: Your Questions Answered

Practical answers about moving out of a Southwark rental, handing back the keys and getting your deposit back.

Can you clean a Southwark Council or housing association flat before I hand it back?

Yes. Southwark Council is London’s largest council landlord, and many of the move-outs we handle are in estate blocks and housing association flats across the borough. These homes usually have hard-working kitchens, shared lifts or stairwells, and very little parking nearby. If your housing officer has given you a move-out checklist or a list of conditions, send it to us when you book. We’ll clean to it, and we’ll protect the shared areas on the way in and out.

How do you handle parking and loading when I’m moving out in Southwark?

We plan it with you before the day. Controlled parking zones cover most of north and central Southwark, parts of SE1 are inside the Congestion Charge zone, and roads like Old Kent Road and Jamaica Road are red routes. Tell us your street and your removal times, and we’ll arrange a visitor permit or bay suspension if one is needed. We’ll time our arrival so our van and your removal van aren’t fighting for the same space.

What happens if the check-out report mentions a cleaning issue?

Send us the relevant part of the report. If it covers something within the clean we did, we’ll come back and put it right at no extra charge, ideally before the landlord or agent signs off the deposit. That’s why we clean against your check-in inventory from the start, so problems are dealt with before the clerk arrives.

Can you collect the keys and do the clean after I’ve moved out?

Yes. Many tenants hand over the keys on moving day and leave the rest to us. We hold the keys securely, clean the empty property, lock up, and then pass the keys to your agent or landlord or return them to you. You’ll get confirmation and photos when the job is done, so you can concentrate on your new home.

My tenancy agreement says I must use professional cleaners. Is that allowed?

Since the Tenant Fees Act 2019, landlords in England generally can’t require you to pay for professional cleaning. What you must do is return the property as clean as it was at check-in, allowing for fair wear and tear. A professional clean with an itemised invoice is still the easiest way to show you’ve met that standard if the deposit is ever disputed.

Can you add carpet cleaning and interior windows to the same visit?

Yes. Carpets and windows are two of the things clerks check most closely, so most customers add them. Carpet cleaning is carried out by our trained technicians, and interior windows, frames and sills are cleaned at the same time. Everything goes into one fixed price and one appointment, so you only have one booking to manage.
