"£120 for a 2-bed" is a common flat-rate quote in end of tenancy cleaning — right up until that 2-bed turns out to have a filthy oven, mould in the bathroom sealant, and a tenant who hasn't cleaned behind the fridge in three years. Room count is a starting point for a quote, not the whole quote.
A structured, room-by-room price is more accurate and easier to defend than a flat "per property" number:
| Room / task | Typical price range | What drives the range |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen (standard) | £35–£55 | Cupboard interiors, appliance exteriors, surfaces |
| Oven deep clean | £25–£45 | Baked-on grease level, whether it's a add-on or included |
| Bathroom / en-suite | £25–£40 each | Limescale, mould in sealant, grouting condition |
| Bedroom (standard) | £15–£25 each | Carpet vs hard floor, wardrobe interiors |
| Living/dining room | £20–£35 | Size, upholstery, windows internal |
| Carpet cleaning (per room, add-on) | £25–£45 | Stain level, whether professional machine cleaning is included |
Pricing this way means a filthy oven or a mould-heavy bathroom adds cost transparently rather than being absorbed silently into a flat quote that then runs over on time and profit.
Many end of tenancy cleaners offer a "guarantee" — if the letting agent or landlord isn't satisfied, the cleaner returns to re-clean specific areas free of charge. This is genuinely valuable to tenants worried about their deposit, and commands a premium price — but it's also a real cost to the business (unpaid return visits) that needs to be priced into the base rate, not offered as a free add-on. A rough allowance of 5–10% built into the quote for the statistical chance of a return visit is more sustainable than absorbing it as pure loss when it happens.
A detailed, room-by-room checklist — inside of oven, inside of fridge/freezer, extractor fan filters, skirting boards, light fittings, inside kitchen cupboards, window sills — does two things: it makes pricing consistent from job to job, and it gives you (and the client) documented proof of exactly what was covered, which matters if a letting agent disputes the standard of clean afterwards.
