End of Tenancy Cleaning Prices 2026 (UK): Costs by Area + What Impacts Your Quote

If you’re searching for end-of-tenancy cleaning prices in 2026, you’ll notice quotes vary a lot across the UK. That’s normal: prices are driven by local labour costs, property size, condition, and what’s included (oven, fridge, internal windows, etc.). This guide gives practical 2026 price ranges by area, plus a simple checklist to compare quotes properly.

Quick answer: typical UK price ranges in 2026

Most professional end-of-tenancy cleans are priced per job (not per hour). Typical 2026 ranges:

·       Studio / 1-bed flat: £150–£250

·       2-bed property: £200–£350

·       3-bed property: £280–£450

·       4-bed property: £380–£650

·       5+ bed / large homes: £550–£1,000+

These ranges assume a professional clean covering the main end of tenancy scope (kitchen, bathrooms, floors, dusting, internal windows where accessible). Specialist add-ons (carpets, upholstery, heavy mould/limescale, exterior work) are usually priced separately.

UK end-of-tenancy cleaning prices by area (2026)

Below are realistic price bands you’ll commonly see for a standard 2–3 bedroom property in 2026. Exact quotes still depend on size, condition, and what’s included.

Why does London and the South East cost more

In 2026, the biggest driver is labour cost (plus travel/parking and higher operating costs). You’ll also see more fixed “packages” in London, while other regions are more often priced based on condition and scope.

What affects end-of-tenancy cleaning prices the most?

1) Property size and layout

A 3-bed house with two bathrooms and a utility room will cost more than a compact 3-bed flat — even if the bedroom count is the same.

2) Condition (this is the biggest swing)

Two properties of the same size can vary by £100–£300+, depending on:

·       Heavy limescale in bathrooms

·       Grease build-up in kitchen cupboards/extractor

·       Pet hair and odours

·       Mould, staining, or long-term neglect

3) What’s included in the quote

Always check whether the quote includes:

·       Inside oven cleaning

·       Inside fridge/freezer

·       Internal windows

·       Skirting boards, doors, frames

·       Inside cupboards/wardrobes

If it’s not listed, assume it’s not included.

4) Timing and access

Prices can increase when:

·       You need a short-notice booking

·       Keys must be collected/dropped off

·       Parking is difficult or paid

·       The property is on a high floor with limited lift access

Common add-ons (and typical 2026 costs)

Add-ons are often priced separately because they require specialist equipment or extra time.

·       Carpet cleaning: £40–£120 per room (or £150–£300 for a typical property)

·       Upholstery cleaning: £60–£180 per item

·       Mattress cleaning: £40–£90

·       Heavy limescale / mould treatment: £30–£150+ depending on severity

·       Patio / exterior jet wash: £100–£300+

How to compare quotes properly (and avoid surprises)

When comparing end-of-tenancy cleaning quotes, ask for:

·       A written checklist of what’s included

·       Confirmation of how many cleaners will attend

·       Whether they offer a re-clean / return visit if the letting agent flags issues

·       Clear exclusions (e.g., external windows, high-level areas)
