Real 2026 prices for end of tenancy cleaning across the UK — by property size, what's included as standard and where add-ons creep in.

End of tenancy cleaning prices look simple online but quotes vary wildly. Here's what UK tenants and landlords typically pay in 2026, what should always be included, and the add-ons cleaning companies often quote separately.

Typical end of tenancy cleaning prices (UK, 2026)

  • Studio flat: £110 – £160
  • 1-bed flat: £140 – £210
  • 2-bed flat / house: £180 – £280
  • 3-bed house: £230 – £360
  • 4-bed house: £300 – £480
  • 5+ bed / large house: £450 – £700+

What should always be included

  • Oven deep clean (inside and out)
  • Fridge / freezer (defrosted in advance)
  • All windows from the inside, including frames and sills
  • Limescale removal in bathrooms and kitchen
  • Re-clean guarantee (48–72 hours)

Common add-ons that aren't always in the price

  • Carpet cleaning — £25–£45 per room
  • External window cleaning
  • Upholstery and curtain cleaning
  • Garden / patio jet-wash
  • Wall mark removal (above 'fair wear and tear')

Why London and the South East cost more

Labour rates in London, Reading, Oxford and the Home Counties run 15–30% above the UK average. Add congestion charges and parking — for a 3-bed house inside the M25, expect to be at the top end of the bracket.
