    Overview

    Check-in cleaning, room by room

    We’ve completed 1 pre-tenancy clean in Bedford so far, in MK40 Harpur, and our teams work across the rest of Bedfordshire. The typical final price for a pre-tenancy clean across the UK has been £244, extras included, with the middle half of customers paying £206–£316.

    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 move-in cleaning or new tenancy clean, and some people call it a clean before tenants move in.

    “Although everywhere has been cleaned and is a lot better than it was before we were slightly disappointed because the floor is still sticky and some dirty marks still remain on the floor. There ar still some cobwebs in the lights and at the top of the blinds”
