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

“great cleaning standards. would be 10 if the communication was slightly smoother, I've received lots of unnecessarily emails with invoice to pay and info that the due date passed which wasn't correct as I opted for cash payment and made me a bit worry if they won't cancel my booking. other than that everything great. not a single moan from landlord ;-)”

“Your service is good,reliable but just keep time to avoid incovinience”
Phasika · CB22 · August 2026
“Good job…missed a bit of hoovering but great job on the oven”
Neil · CB21 · May 2026
“Overall a very good clean and the cleaners were efficient. I think the communication around arrival on the day could have been better as it felt a bit confusing who it was that was coming and how many people.”
Sophie · CB4 · April 2026
“Extremely lovely lady’s, done an absolute spot on job, left the place spotless, cleaned carpets with ease, always kept me updated on their job ( as I wasn’t present). Very determined lady’s. Will always recommend this service! Well done to them team! :)”
Catarina · CB4 · March 2026
“They were quick but still cleaned the flat at perfection and it was not an easy job at all. I would definitely call them again if I need.”
Francesca · CB25 · March 2026
“Very efficient. The flat was immaculately clean.”
Sean · CB2 · February 2026
“The cleaning was very good and thorough – I only had time to make a quick check. My only criticism was the lack of communication. I originally booked a 9am start. The appointment was then registered as a 9-9:30am start. The cleaners arrived at 10am, so we had got up early, driven to the house and waited in it for an hour. Neither cleaner seemed confident communicating in English, which was a little frustrating in terms of punctuality and letting us know when it was completed. The cleaners themselves though were clearly lovely people doing their best and their cleaning was good.”
Lucy · CB1 · November 2025
“Excellent service. Georgia and her team was highly efficient. Communication was a breeze. Definitely recomend Tenancy Cleaning.”
Somak · CB4 · September 2025
“Carpet cleaning 8/10, kitchen 5/10, bathrooms 8/10, so altogether 7/10”
Shuang · CB2 · August 2025
“Talking to Mas over email was really easy and he was very responsive in helping ensure that the cleaning team would be able to access my property as I wouldn't be there. They also were very communicative about working out a good timeslot. My landlord expressed they were impressed with the level of cleaning and have confirmed I'll get my full deposit back!”
Harry · CB3 · August 2025
“Absolutely wonderful job. Thorough and very polite and professional. Thank you so much”

Alexander · CB24 · March 2025
“I am extremely satisfied with the cleaning service provided! The team was punctual, thorough, and professional. My home looks spotless.”
Aliza · CB23 · January 2025
“Amazing job! Very professional, highly recommend them!”
Dominique · CB5 · December 2024
“My sons house was beyond dirty and the girls did an amazing job.”
Valerie · CB23 · November 2024
“Good overall clean, especially oven and shower head”
Denise · CB1 · October 2024
“The only comment I would make is that the description of the service on the website states powerful, professional cleaning equipment used, but it was a Henry hoover and spray and cloth with a flat mop. I'm not dissatisfied but that's why it isn't a 9 or 10”
Andy · CB1 · September 2024
“I found that the cleaning carried out at the property to be of a good standard.”
Vince · CB2 · August 2024
“Very good service overall. Some scratches in the toilet bowl and a broken shower hose.”
George · CB5 · June 2024
“The cleaning team turned up on time – were super polite and keen to do a good job and get going. We were very happy with the standard of clean. When we asked about the clean on one of the carpets the team were very happy to repeat the carpet clean in that room until we were satisfied. There were a team of 4 and they finished about 4pm. They walked my husband round the hosue to ensure we were happy with all aspects of their work.”
Sutherland · CB24 · June 2024
“The guys did a fantastic job working above and beyond on a house that had sadly been neglected for some while. Can’t praise them highly enough”
Brian · CB4 · June 2024
“very nice helpful staff – tudorita m and her colleague were great”
Claudia · CB1 · May 2024
“Great result and hard work from the team!”
Pierre · CB4 · January 2024
“The team arrived early, got sorted and stuck in right away; they worked flat out and turned a begrimed and filthy house into a home we can move our stuff into. They asked questions that needed answers and got on with it. We would recommend them to anybody.”
John · CB2 · December 2023
“Very good work and friendly cleaners.”
Matthew · CB4 · October 2023
“Very easy to book. Guy who came was punctual, worked hard and really did a good job in most parts.”
Tanja · CB1 · September 2023
“Overall we were generally happy. However the tiles in the bathroom were not cleaned. We had only noticed after the staff had left. Especially the tiles around the shower looked like they were not touched.”
Mahmuda · CB1 · August 2023
“Some parts of the house were cleaned perfectly, some not or even skipped.”
Ivana · CB4 · August 2023
“Fabulous clean — on time and comprehensive. I am very grateful to the team!”
Sarah · CB1 · June 2023
“It was a quick and professional cleaning. I've got back my full deposit and there was no complain from the agency and landlord. I recommend.”
Andrea · June 2023
“Generally the work was very good but after the team left I noticed a few things missed such as some light switches and the underneath of one kitchen cupboard.”
Nora · CB1 · March 2023
