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.

Matt · CT6, Herne Bay · July 2024
“Absolutely amazing job and so friendly!! Went above and beyond to make our rented property look perfect before the end of the tenancy. Even wiped mirrors down and the kitchen surfaces/sink despite this not being part of the service I had paid for. Would 100% recommend to anyone interested in using this service.”

Frequently asked questions
How much does a pre-tenancy clean cost in Essex?
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.
How many pre-tenancy cleans have you done in Essex?
1 pre-tenancy clean from June 2024 to October 2026, mostly in CO1 Castle.
Which cleaning teams work in Essex?
Jobs in Essex are done by our local teams: Taiye (IP2), Sonia (SE27) and Teodora (BR1). Each team is based nearby, covers all our services and is matched to your booking by postcode.
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 a pre-tenancy clean in Essex?
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 Essex do you cover?
All of Essex, including CO1 Castle. We also cover nearby Colchester.
