What affects the price?
- Property size and condition. A heavily soiled property takes significantly longer to clean than one maintained regularly. Deep cleans on neglected spaces cost more.
- Frequency. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleans cost less per session than once-off bookings — the cleaner can maintain a standard rather than start from scratch each time.
- Inclusions. Clarify whether cleaning products and equipment are supplied or whether you need to provide them. Most professional services supply their own products.
- Location. London and the South East tend to have higher rates than the rest of the country. Rural areas may include a travel fee.
- Specialist services. Carpet steam cleaning, upholstery treatment, and post-construction cleans require specialist equipment and are priced separately from general domestic cleaning.
End-of-tenancy cleans explained
An end-of-tenancy clean is a thorough, once-off clean intended to restore a rental property to the condition it was in at the start of the tenancy. This includes oven and appliance cleaning, inside cupboards, window tracks, skirting boards, and bathroom descaling. It matters for getting your deposit back in full — most tenancy deposits are held under a government-backed scheme (such as the DPS, MyDeposits, or TDS), and a poor end-of-tenancy clean is one of the most common reasons landlords make a deduction. Confirm the arrangement with your agent or landlord in writing before booking.
Tips for getting a fair price
- Specify exactly what's included — a room-by-room checklist helps avoid misunderstandings about ovens, windows, and inside cupboards.
- For ongoing cleaning, agree on the scope in writing: which rooms, which tasks, and whether appliances (oven, microwave) are included.
- Check that the service is insured — accidental breakage cover matters for domestic cleaning in occupied homes. TruePro shows an "Insured" badge on a pro's profile and quote once we've verified their public liability cover.
- Avoid paying the full amount upfront. TruePro's payment protection holds your payment securely until you've confirmed the clean is complete.
