What end of lease cleaning in Brighton involves
A detailed clean
A strong vacate clean reaches beyond the obvious surfaces. ELM works through kitchens, bathrooms, storage, fixtures, floors, and the smaller details that become visible once an apartment, townhouse, or larger home is empty.
The right scope
Layout, condition, wet areas, built-in storage, delicate finishes, parking, keys, and access help us plan the work properly. Larger or more complex properties can be assessed before the timing and total are confirmed.
A clearer handover
If your property manager has supplied priorities or a checklist, send it with the enquiry. We use it alongside ELM's detailed Vacate Clean inclusions to prepare a quote you can understand before cleaning day.
What the Vacate Clean covers
Moving out is busy enough. We clean the whole place so it's ready for the final inspection.
- The oven, rangehood and window tracks, every time.
- Cupboards and wardrobes cleaned inside once you've moved out.
- Skirting boards, light switches and floors throughout.

Questions renters ask
How much does end of lease cleaning cost in Brighton?
It depends on the size and condition of the property, and any extras like carpet steam cleaning or window glass. We give you a fixed quote before you book, so you'll know the full price up front.
How clean does my rental need to be when I move out?
Reasonably clean, and in the same condition as when you moved in, allowing for fair wear and tear. Your entry condition report is the reference point, so it's worth keeping it handy for the final inspection.
Do my carpets need to be professionally cleaned?
Not always. For leases that started on or after 29 March 2021, it's only needed if the carpets were professionally cleaned before you moved in or they're in a state that needs it. If you do need it, we can add carpet steam cleaning to your quote.
Do I need to be home for the clean?
No. You can leave the keys with your agent or in a key safe, and we'll agree access and lock-up details with you before the day.
Can ELM handle a larger Brighton property?
ELM accepts suitable end-of-lease enquiries for larger properties. The home is assessed in advance so the confirmed scope, access requirements, and quote reflect the work involved.
Do you clean Brighton townhouses and apartments?
Yes. Alongside houses, a large share of Brighton's homes are townhouses and apartments. Share the levels, bathrooms and any lift or parking arrangements when you request a quote so the scope fits the property.
Are pools, decks or entertaining areas part of a Brighton clean?
They sit outside the Vacate Clean. More than half of Brighton's homes are houses, so if the property manager's list includes outdoor areas, mention them when you enquire and we'll tell you what we can include.
