    A pre-tenancy clean gets a property spotless before new tenants move in, so the check-in inventory records a clean home and there’s a clear standard to hand back at the end of the tenancy.

    Landlords and letting agents book it between tenancies, and new tenants book a move-in clean when they want a fresh start. Covered by our 72-hour guarantee.

    Pre-Tenancy Cleaning is also known as new tenancy clean or check-in clean, and some people call it a clean before tenants move in.

    Frequently asked questions

    How much does a pre-tenancy clean cost in Canterbury?

    Prices start at £135 for a studio flat and £175 for a 1-bed, 1-bath property; use the cost calculator above to add extras. Across our 82 pre-tenancy cleans UK-wide, the typical final price has been £244 (middle half £206–£316).

    Is pre-tenancy cleaning the same as a move-in clean?

    Yes. A pre-tenancy clean, move-in clean or check-in clean is done before new tenants arrive, so the inventory records a clean property.

    When should the clean be booked?

    Before the check-in inventory, so the report records the property as professionally cleaned.

    Can the letting agent give the team access?

    Yes. Add access details when you book; key collection from an agent costs £20.

    Is it the same as an end of tenancy clean?

    The checklist is very similar. The difference is timing: it's done before a tenancy starts rather than when one ends.

    How far ahead should I book?

    Most customers book 3–7 days ahead; we can often fit in sooner. Our busiest months are May and June, so allow a little longer then.

    Which parts of Canterbury do you cover?

    All of Canterbury, including CT1 Westgate. We also cover nearby Herne Bay, Rochester, Tonbridge.
