If you are moving out of a rented home in Romiley, Bredbury, Hazel Grove or anywhere in Stockport, an end of tenancy clean usually costs £150 to £425. The biggest factors are the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the state of the oven and whether the carpets need cleaning.

Why does cleaning matter so much for your deposit?
Because it is the most common reason landlords make a claim. In 2025, cleaning accounted for about 29% of claims made through The Deposit Protection Service (DPS), ahead of damage (18%) and rent arrears (16%). It has been the top reason for five years running.
Inventory clerks compare the property against the check-in report. If the oven was spotless when you moved in, it needs to be spotless when you leave.
What is included in an end of tenancy clean?
A proper move-out clean is far more detailed than a normal weekly clean. Ours covers:
- Kitchen: inside every cupboard and drawer, fridge and freezer, microwave, extractor, tiles, sink and taps
- Oven: a full single-oven clean, racks and trays included
- Bathrooms: limescale removed from taps, showerheads, screens, tiles and grout
- Every room: skirting boards, doors, frames, handles, switches, sockets and radiators
- Windows: inside glass, frames and sills
- Floors: hoovered and mopped, including inside wardrobes
Carpets are the most common extra. A double bedroom is £45 and a lounge £50, and you save 15% on carpet cleaning when you book it with your end of tenancy clean.
What pushes the price up?
- Extra bathrooms or en-suites, which take longer than bedrooms
- A range cooker or double oven instead of a single oven
- Heavy limescale or grease, especially if the property has not been deep cleaned for a while
- Pets, which mean more hair in carpets, skirting and soft furnishings
- Furniture left behind, which we clean around and under where it can be moved safely
The easiest way to get an accurate price is to send a few photos of the oven, bathroom and carpets with your quote request.
When should I book the clean?
Book it for after your belongings have gone and before the check-out inspection. In Stockport the busiest weeks are the end of each month, when most tenancies finish, so book one to two weeks ahead if you can.
What if the agent still finds something?
Tell us within 48 hours of the clean and we come back and put it right free. That covers cleaning items only: damage, wear and tear or redecoration are outside any cleaner's control.
Quick checklist before the cleaners arrive
- Remove all your belongings, including from lofts, sheds and under the stairs.
- Leave the electricity and water on so we can use hot water and the oven light.
- Defrost the freezer the night before.
- Leave keys and any parking permit where we have agreed.
- Have your check-in inventory to hand so we can check anything unusual.
