Cleaners Shepherds Bush is a locally based company with teams working daily in W12 and nearby areas.

- Landlords – turning a property around quickly and presenting it in excellent condition for new tenants.

Our Step-by-Step End of Tenancy Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact our office with basic details: property size, number of rooms and bathrooms, type of flooring, and any particular issues or add-ons required. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give us, outlining exactly what is included and any optional extras such as carpet cleaning or deep oven cleaning.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most properties, we carry out a virtual survey using photos or video to confirm the condition and any specific requirements. For larger homes or commercial spaces, we may recommend an onsite visit. This step ensures your price is accurate, the correct team size is booked, and we allow enough time for a proper, detailed clean.
3. Preparation
We agree a date and time that fits your move-out schedule. Before we arrive, you should remove personal belongings and rubbish, defrost and empty freezers if they are to be cleaned, and arrange access (keys or meeting us onsite). Our professional team arrives with all products and equipment needed, carries out the work to our detailed checklist, and then walks through the property to check everything before leaving.
Transparent Pricing Explained
Our pricing is based mainly on the size and condition of the property, rather than a simple hourly rate. This allows us to allocate adequate time and the right number of cleaners to achieve a thorough result, rather than rushing.
- Studio and one-bedroom flats: fixed guide prices, adjusted for condition
- Larger homes: price determined by number of rooms and bathrooms
- Add-ons: separate, clearly itemised costs for carpets, upholstery and ovens
All quotes are fully itemised, with no hidden extras. Parking and congestion charges are discussed in advance where applicable. We can usually provide a firm price from your description and photos so you know exactly what you will pay.
Why Choose Professional End of Tenancy Cleaning Over DIY
Attempting to clean a property thoroughly at the end of a tenancy is time-consuming and often stressful, especially around moving dates. Professional cleaners bring training, experience and industry-grade products that remove built-up grease, limescale and general wear more effectively than standard household methods.
Our teams follow a structured checklist aligned with common inventory requirements, reducing the likelihood of disputes over cleanliness. Many tenants also find that by the time they purchase all the products and spend the hours required, the cost difference to using a professional team is relatively small, while the risk of missing key areas is far higher.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Cleaners Shepherds Bush operates to high professional standards, with robust insurance and safety procedures in place.
- Public liability cover – protects you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage during the clean.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers equipment and materials we bring into your property, so you are never liable for our tools.
- Trained cleaning teams – our staff receive ongoing training in safe product use, correct cleaning methods and property care.
We also work to clear reporting lines: if our team notice pre-existing damage or issues, they will photograph and report them so you have an accurate record before check-out.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property as if it were our own. Our cleaners use suitable protective materials where needed, such as placing cloths under buckets and ensuring no product is left on delicate surfaces. We take care around fixtures, fittings and appliances, avoiding abrasive techniques where they might cause damage.
Where possible, we choose effective but lower-impact cleaning products and dosages that protect both surfaces and the environment, without compromising standards. Microfibre systems help us reduce chemical usage while still achieving strong results. We also plan routes within Shepherds Bush sensibly to minimise unnecessary travel and reduce our overall footprint.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size and condition of the property, as well as any optional extras you choose. Smaller studio and one-bedroom flats in Shepherds Bush are usually priced at a fixed rate, while larger homes are priced according to the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and the general state of cleanliness. Additional services such as carpet cleaning or deep oven cleaning are itemised separately. Once we have your property details and, ideally, a few photos, we will provide a clear, fixed quote before any work is booked.
Can you provide same-day or urgent end of tenancy cleaning?
We can often accommodate same-day or urgent bookings in Shepherds Bush, especially outside peak moving periods. Availability depends on team capacity and the size of your property, so it is always best to call us as soon as you know your move-out date. Where we can, we will rearrange schedules to help with last-minute cleans, but we will never over-book in a way that compromises the quality of service. If a same-day slot is not possible, we will offer the closest alternative time.
Are you insured while working in my property?
Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover and goods in transit insurance for the equipment and products we bring. This means that in the unlikely event of accidental damage caused by our team, you are protected. Our cleaners are also trained in the correct use of chemicals and equipment to minimise risks. Full details of our insurance arrangements can be provided on request, and they apply whether we are cleaning a small flat, a family home or a commercial space in Shepherds Bush.
What exactly is included in an end of tenancy clean?
An end of tenancy clean is a detailed deep clean of the whole property, focusing on kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, surfaces and high-contact areas. We clean internal windows, skirting boards, switches, handles, appliances exteriors and, where requested, inside cupboards and white goods. Floors are vacuumed and mopped throughout. It does not include removal of rubbish or furniture, external windows at height, major mould treatment or repairs. Optional extras like professional carpet cleaning and deep oven cleaning can be added to create a more complete package if required by your landlord or agent.
How far in advance should I book my end of tenancy clean?
Ideally, you should book your clean at least one to two weeks before your move-out date, particularly if you are leaving a larger property or need weekend or evening slots. This gives us time to complete a survey, confirm your quote and secure your preferred appointment. However, we understand that tenancy dates can change or be confirmed late, so we also keep some flexibility for short-notice bookings in Shepherds Bush. The more notice you give us, the easier it is to align the cleaning with your check-out inspection.
Do I need to be present during the clean?
You do not have to be present as long as we can gain access and there are clear instructions about keys and alarm systems. Many clients prefer to meet us at the property at the start, hand over keys and then return at the end for a walk-through. Others ask their letting agent or landlord to provide access on their behalf. We will agree the access arrangements in advance and can update you by phone or message once the clean is completed and the property is locked and secured.
