    Overview

    Check-in cleaning, room by room

    We’ve completed 3 pre-tenancy cleans in Hertfordshire so far, in HP3 Apsley and Corner Hall, WD3 Rickmansworth Town and SG5 Hitchin Priory, and our teams work across the rest of Hertfordshire. UK-wide customers have typically paid £244 for a pre-tenancy clean, including extras; most paid between £206 and £316. Hertfordshire customers have also booked us for 232 end of tenancy cleaning and 183 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 check-in clean or move-in cleaning, and some people call it a clean before tenants move in.

    Frequently asked questions

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

    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 Hertfordshire?

    3 pre-tenancy cleans from May 2023 to October 2026, mostly in HP3 Apsley and Corner Hall, WD3 Rickmansworth Town, SG5 Hitchin Priory.

    Which cleaning teams work in Hertfordshire?

    Jobs in Hertfordshire are done by our local teams: Max (MK41), AC&C (N16) and Zanko (HP12). 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 Hertfordshire?

    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 Hertfordshire do you cover?

    All of Hertfordshire, including HP3 Apsley and Corner Hall, WD3 Rickmansworth Town, SG5 Hitchin Priory. We also cover nearby Hemel Hempstead, Hitchin, Rickmansworth.
