End of Tenancy Cleaning in Southend-on-Sea

End of tenancy cleaning prices in Southend (2026)

Expect £150–£200 for a studio or one-bed and £200–£280 for a 2-bed flat across Southend-on-Sea and the SS0–SS9 area, with larger houses quoted on size and condition.

Prices depend on the condition of the property, whether carpets and the oven are included, and how recently it was last cleaned properly. A flat that has been well kept sits at the bottom of the range; a shared house at the end of a three-year tenancy sits at the top. Most cleaners offer a re-clean guarantee if the landlord, agent or inventory clerk raises specific issues within 48–72 hours. Every price is set by the cleaner — we take no commission and add no booking fee. Add-ons commonly quoted alongside are oven cleaning and carpet cleaning.

Will an end of tenancy clean protect my deposit?

It significantly improves your odds. Cleaning is the single most common reason for deposit deductions reported by the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, so evidence of a professional clean removes the most likely dispute before it starts.

Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019 a landlord or agent cannot require you to use a particular cleaning company, and deposits are capped at five weeks' rent for annual rents under £50,000. What they can do is deduct for a property returned below the standard recorded at check-in. That standard is set by the inventory clerk, who photographs and grades every room at the start and end of the tenancy.

Keep the invoice and any before-and-after photographs. A dated receipt from a named local cleaner is exactly the sort of evidence an adjudicator weighs when a claim is disputed — and it gives the cleaner a reference point if a re-clean is requested.

What's the difference between a deep clean and an end of tenancy clean?

An end of tenancy clean is measured against the inventory: the goal is returning the property to move-in condition for the next tenant. A deep clean is a broader refresh, usually booked for a home that is still lived in.

End of tenancy work is the more forensic of the two — inside drawers and wardrobes, behind and beneath white goods, window tracks and frames, extractor filters and the full oven interior all get checked because a clerk will look there. A deep clean prioritises the surfaces you live with day to day and works around furniture and belongings.
