Pricing & Quotes for Tenancy Cleans
Transparent pricing is at the heart of our tenancy cleans policy. We work to remove surprises so landlords, tenants and property managers can plan budgets with confidence. Our approach explains how we price tenancy cleaning and end of tenancy services, from single-room flats above busy high streets to large terraced homes near student areas. We describe both per-load and cubic-yard (or volume) models, list typical job types, and clarify our free quote policy. Clear terms mean you know what you will pay before we arrive.
Below you will find a concise breakdown of the two main rate structures we use: a load-based rate for straightforward cleans and a cubic-yard or volume-based model for large disposals and hoarded or heavily furnished properties. We also include sample estimates for common property styles—studio apartments, two-bedroom flats, Victorian terraces—to help you match your situation to a likely price band. This section is designed to make comparison quick and practical.
Why we offer multiple pricing options: not all tenancy clean jobs are the same. A fast turn-around for a one-bedroom flat near the city centre is usually a load-based job; a vacated family home requiring extensive rubbish removal or bulky furniture disposal may be easier and fairer to estimate using a cubic-yard rate. We aim for fairness—you shouldn’t pay extra because the property layout is awkward or because you live in a busy zone.
Load-based rates (per load)
Our load-based pricing is best for routine end of tenancy cleaning when the main work is cleaning rather than large-scale removal. A ‘load’ typically equates to a standard van or single crew load of equipment and waste. This model simplifies budgeting for smaller properties: studios, one-bed flats above shops, or mid-terrace homes with light clearance needs. Typical inclusions at this rate are kitchen deep clean, bathroom sanitisation, vacuuming and mopping, inside-window cleaning, and cupboard wipe-downs.
Cubic-yard (volume) rates
For vacated properties with multiple rooms of discarded items, mattresses, or accumulated rubbish, we use a cubic-yard or cubic-metre approach. This is a transparent volumetric system: you pay for the amount of space the waste occupies once loaded. It is fairer for large disposals—detached houses near transport hubs, multi-room student lets, or properties with garden clear-outs. Prices are quoted per cubic yard (or per cubic metre where preferred) and include haulage and certified disposal.How we measure volume: our team will review the property and estimate the number of cubic yards required; we can show you the calculation. The volume-based model prevents under-quoting on jobs that look small but contain bulky furniture or dense waste. It’s especially useful for clearance-heavy end of tenancy cleans in suburban houses.
Example jobs and sample budgets
To make pricing tangible, here are representative job types and common locations where we work. These examples are illustrative and actual quotes are free and tailored to each property.Examples (typical scope and likely pricing model):
- Studio flat near the city centre: quick turn, oven and bathroom deep clean—usually load-based.
- Two-bedroom flat above retail strip: standard end of tenancy clean with window and carpet spot cleaning—load-based or small volume.
- Victorian three-bed terrace: vacate clean with garden tidy and bulky item removal—likely cubic-yard pricing.
- Student house in busy neighbourhood: multiple bedrooms, heavy cleaning + waste removal—volume-based or combined model.
For a practical illustration: a two-bedroom flat on a high street, including oven, bathroom, and two carpets, often fits a single load estimate and can range in price depending on location and timing. A four-bed family house with three carloads of waste will be priced by volume. We always explain what drives the cost—travel time, access restrictions, the number of cleaners required and any specialist treatments like stain removal.
Free quote policy: we provide no-obligation quotes at no charge. Our survey options include photos provided by you, an over-the-phone assessment, or an on-site inspection for larger properties. Free quotes detail the proposed rate model (load or cubic-yard), estimated hours, and a clear list of what is included so there are no hidden extras. If additional issues are discovered on arrival, we will pause work and agree any variations before proceeding.
What our free quote covers: a full scope of the tenancy clean, whether it is an end of tenancy clean, move-out spruce, or full vacated property clearance. We include any recommended extra services—carpet shampoo, deep oven sanitisation, or dryer vent cleaning—as optional line items. This keeps the base price transparent while allowing you to choose add-ons if required.
Final notes: choosing between load-based and cubic-yard rates is about selecting the fairest way to match the job. Tenancy cleans in busy urban apartment clusters generally favour load pricing for speed and predictability, while suburban or fully vacated homes with substantial waste often require volume pricing. We prioritise clarity—you'll receive a written quote that explains the model, the scope and any potential extra charges before any work starts.
