How this calculator works
Every figure in this calculator is the one published in the cost table on our end of tenancy cleaning guide. Pick the option that matches your job and the calculator returns that published range, adjusted for your region - it does not model anything the guide does not already say.
That is deliberate. A calculator whose rates drift from the page it sits under is worse than no calculator, because two numbers on the same site disagree.
What it cannot know: access, the condition of what is already there, and anything structural. Those are what separate three real quotes from each other.

What changes an end of tenancy cleaning price
The ranges above are priced by property size for a reason – a clean is sold by the job, not the hour. What moves the figure inside each band is the state you’re handing the place back in. A flat that’s been kept on top of needs a couple of hours of finishing; one that hasn’t seen a mop since the last inventory takes a team most of a day.
Be clear about what you’re buying. A standard end-of-tenancy clean covers the whole property to check-out standard, but the oven, the carpets and the outsides of the windows are often quoted as separate line items. If the kitchen has done a few years of frying, the oven is usually where a deposit is won or lost, so price it in rather than hope.
Whether the place is empty matters more than most tenants realise. The quote assumes clear rooms – cleaning around a sofa and a stack of boxes takes longer, and the patch you couldn’t reach is exactly where the clerk runs a finger. Book the clean for after the van has gone, not before.
Extras are where the real spread lives. Carpet shampooing is the common one; limescale welded to a shower screen, or mould on a bathroom ceiling, is another – both sit on top of the base price, and a good firm will say so up front instead of springing it on you. Ask for the quote in writing with the extras listed, so you can see what’s in and what isn’t.
The question worth asking: does the clean come with a re-clean guarantee, and for how long? Most reputable firms will come back free of charge if the inventory clerk objects soon after – but usually only if you booked before the check-out and kept the receipt.
End of tenancy cleaning calculator โ FAQs
Since 2019 a tenancy in England cannot demand a professional clean as a blanket condition — that is a prohibited payment. You must return the property in the same cleanliness as at check-in, allowing for fair wear and tear. Many tenants still book a professional clean because it is the cheapest way to win the deposit argument.
It removes cleaning as a deduction ground, which is the single most common dispute. It cannot help with damage, missing items or rent arrears. Keep the receipt and the before/after photos — adjudicators look for evidence.
A one-bed flat takes 3–5 hours, a three-bed house 6–9 hours, usually with a team of two or three. The property should be empty of belongings first, or the price rises.
Yes — that is what the quote assumes. Cleaning around furniture and boxes takes longer, and areas that could not be reached are exactly where the check-out clerk will look.
