What end of lease cleaning in Kew involves
A detailed clean
In a larger Kew house, the work goes well beyond the kitchen and bathrooms: living areas, built-in robes, stairs and window tracks all need attention once the furniture is gone. The Vacate Clean covers them, with cupboards cleaned inside when the property is empty.
The right scope
Tell us about the number of levels, bathrooms and living areas, along with stone, timber or other finishes that need care. For an apartment near Kew Junction, share building access and parking so the visit can be planned properly.
A clearer handover
A checklist for a Kew house might cover the garage, garden beds or a pool area as well as the interior. Send it with your enquiry and we'll confirm which items the Vacate Clean takes in and which sit outside it.
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 Kew?
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 you clean a larger Kew house with several living areas?
Yes. Tell us how many bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas and levels there are. We look at bigger homes in more detail before confirming the quote, so the team and scope match the work.
Do you clean apartments near Kew Junction?
Yes. Kew has a good number of apartments and townhouses alongside its houses. Let us know about lift bookings, building entry and parking when you get in touch so the team arrives with a plan.
