End of Tenancy Cleaning Prices 2026 (UK): Costs by Area + What Impacts Your Quote
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.
Area | Typical 2–3 bed end of tenancy clean (2026) |
London (Zones 1–3) | £350–£650 |
London (Zones 4–6) | £300–£550 |
South East (e.g., Surrey, Berkshire, Bucks) | £280–£500 |
South West (e.g., Bristol, Bath, Exeter) | £260–£480 |
East of England (e.g., Cambridge, Norwich) | £250–£450 |
West Midlands (e.g., Birmingham, Coventry) | £230–£420 |
East Midlands (e.g., Nottingham, Leicester) | £220–£400 |

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)
