    Overview

    A new tenancy clean for landlords and agents

    We’ve completed 3 pre-tenancy cleans in Reading so far, in RG1 Abbey and RG6 Hawkedon, and our teams work across the rest of Berkshire. UK-wide customers have typically paid £244 for a pre-tenancy clean, including extras; most paid between £206 and £316. Reading customers have also booked us for 130 end of tenancy cleaning and 89 carpet cleaning jobs.

    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.

    “Cleaning completed to an excellent standard, but the appointment was changed at the last minute to an inconvenient time and I hadn't had the terms explained to me clearly enough. Had I known the property needed to be empty on cleaning, I would have scheduled the clean for the day after my move so this could be achieved. Also various personal items were removed from my property and placed in the bin without my consent and I am unsure why this was done.”

    When should the clean be booked?
