Why are the end of tenancy cleaning prices so high?

If you’ve been looking for move out cleaning for a while, you may have noticed that the end of tenancy cleaning prices can be a lot more than for regular domestic cleaning services. Why is this? Why are end of tenancy cleaning hourly rates so much higher than a standard domestic cleaning service? Well, there is a good reason, and today, we’re finding out why.

Regular domestic cleaning prices in London

Regular domestic cleaning services in London will charge anywhere from £13-£18 per hour. A typical cleaning slot is two hours once a week or fortnightly. So, for regular domestic cleaning services, you can expect to pay £26-£36 per session either weekly or fortnightly.

During these regular cleaning sessions, a cleaner will come in and do all the weekly cleaning chores for which you don’t have time: hoovering, mopping, dusting, cleaning the kitchen, changing the beds, etc.

End of tenancy cleaning prices in London

The price for end of tenancy cleaning in London, though, is between £28 and £40 per hour. Depending on the property’s size, this cleaning can take anywhere from 4 to 8 plus hours. So, the average price for domestic end-of-tenancy cleaning in the UK is £297.50 according to Checkatrade, while for this type of cleaning service in London, you can expect to pay even more. Cleaning Express offers very competitive prices for this type of service, which you can check in our Instant Quote section.

Why the difference?

End of tenancy cleaning services aren’t the same as regular cleaning sessions. End of tenancy cleaning is a much more involved operation, often including a team of cleaners, not just one person. They are also professionally trained cleaners using professional cleaning equipment, like carpet cleaning machines. The cleaning team also needs to be very flexible. Usually, end of tenancy cleaning is booked in without a lot of notice, and the cleaners must adapt to meet the needs of the customer and the landlord.

A lot of landlords and estate agents in London also use end of tenancy cleaning checklists. They are to confirm that the tenant has cleaned every square inch of the property. Because if they have missed anything, the landlord will need to hire professional cleaners to put things right. Estate agents and landlords have raised the standards and expect even neglected properties to look fantastic so that they avoid refurbishing the place. Unfortunately, this results in more disputes with cleaning companies, which has pushed the prices up.

That is why most professional cleaning service companies (including Cleaning Express) offer guarantees for their cleaning work during the end of tenancy cleans. So, if your landlord notices something your tenancy cleaners missed, you can phone them and get it put right, with no additional cost.

End of tenancy cleaning takes much longer than regular domestic cleaning because it is much more involved. Think of a regular cleaning service as keeping your home look brilliant, neat and tidy. And an end of tenancy clean, ensuring no signs of someone living on the property anymore. It wipes the slate clean and allows new tenants to move in the same day.

Can I use regular domestic cleaning services instead of the end of tenancy cleaning services?

Regular cleaning sessions do a fantastic job at keeping your home looking fabulous while you live there. A two-hour cleaning session once a week ensures your home looks spotless and feels welcoming.

However, a regular cleaner doesn’t have time to do every single cleaning task that is needed. For example, if you ask a cleaner to hoover, they will, but don’t have time to move the sofa and other furniture. So, there is likely some dust underneath your sofa while your house looks immaculate.

With an end of tenancy clean, though, every single area of every single room is cleaned to perfection. That includes kitchen cabinets, behind the toilet, the wardrobes and everything else most of us don’t clean weekly. That takes a team of cleaners a lot of hours to do. Our cleaner’s work is then tested with a checklist to ensure everything has been taken care of for you.

Regular domestic cleaning is an excellent service and keeps your home looking great week in and week out. However, the end of tenancy cleaning services hit the reset button. They are designed to make it appear that no one has ever lived in the house. That takes time, experience, a team of cleaners and a lot of hard work. And that is why end of tenancy cleaning services in London cost the prices they do.

Benefits of carpet cleaning in offices

With more and more businesses offering an open plan, cool and exciting environment to work in, being an office worker is pretty awesome right now. However, offices need to look good to ensure everyone who visits and works in them feels good too.

Regular office cleaning services can go a long way in making an office look clean and tidy. But sometimes, you need to pull out the big cleaning guns. And today, we’re talking about one of the biggest guns in our cleaning arsenal: carpet cleaning. Carpet cleaning is an extremely valuable tool in offices. Before we tell you why, let’s first look at exactly what carpet cleaning is, shall we?

What is carpet cleaning?

We’re sure your regular cleaner vacuums the office carpet regularly, right? Well, carpet cleaning is a whole other level of cleaning. This service shampoos the carpet and draws loads more dirt, dust and grime out of the carpet than hoovering alone. Even when it comes to short pile carpets, like most found in offices, hoovering can only do so much. There will be a layer of dust, dirt and grime that a regular vacuum can’t reach.

A carpet cleaning machine forces cleaning products deep into the carpet and uses powerful suction to draw it back out. This process makes your carpet look brand new again. Now, you may be thinking that regular hoovering is doing a good job at keeping your carpet looking fresh and new. Well, take a look under any piece of furniture in your office that has been there for a while. You may be pretty shocked at how different the high-traffic areas look compared to the fresh carpet.

By using carpet cleaning services in your office, you can ensure that the carpet throughout the office looks as good as the day it was laid. This has many advantages, here are just a few!

The benefits of carpet cleaning in offices

It keeps high-traffic areas looking great

We mentioned this benefit above, but it’s worth repeating. Carpets in high-traffic areas in offices can quickly fade and look older than they are. Carpet cleaning massages the fibres in the carpet, gets rid of any dirt and dust within the carpet and can bring it back to life. Remember, these high-traffic areas are often the first place important clients and customers see when they enter your office. You need these spaces to look as good as the rest of your office to set the tone straight away.

Give a wonderful first impression of your business

Having a clean and tidy office is excellent. Every office should be lovely and tidy. However, when you have important clients coming to the office to make a business deal that is really important for everyone involved, it is best to go above and beyond with the regular office cleaning.

Having your carpet cleaned shows your clients that your business pays attention to the small details. It shows them that you’re serious about everything you do, including keeping your office looking great. It offers an inviting space to walk into, rather than the faded, jaded, old carpet that your competitor has.

Adds to a nice environment for your employees

We all know the reason your office looks the way it does. Yes, it is partly for offering wonderful impressions to your clients. But the other reason is for your employees. Your employees deserve a b

rilliant place to work hard for you. Well, if you’ve spent a lot of money kitting out the office into a cool space for your employees to work in, it is well worth keeping the investment going. Even after a few months, office carpets can fade. Still, carpet cleaning services can bring them back to life and keep your staff’s space looking and feeling amazing.

Reduces allergies

Carpets hold a lot of dust and grime, more than we feel comfortable sharing with you here. Regular carpet cleaning sessions in offices can greatly reduce the risk of your employees getting al

lergies. When the pollen count is high, your employees can track pollen into the office and set off everyone’s allergies. By cleaning the carpet regularly during periods where allergies are high, you greatly reduce the number of employees affected. This means your staff will be very happy, less snotty and teary, and you may even reduce sick days as a result.

If you’d like to have your office carpet professionally cleaned by NCCA certified professionals and you are in London, Cleaning Express can help. We offer carpet cleaning services across the city and can get your office’s carpet looking fresh and new in no time.

What tasks can domestic cleaners do?

Domestic cleaners can help you massively with the daily cleaning tasks that you don’t have time to do. A lot of people aren’t too sure what actually a person carrying out domestic cleaning can do, though. Some people are surprised when cleaners inform them that they can’t do certain tasks during their visit. So, today, we’re looking at what domestic cleaners can do for you. Don’t worry, though, if a cleaning task you need doing isn’t mentioned below, Cleaning Express likely has a cleaning service perfect for your needs.

What is a domestic cleaner?

A domestic cleaner is someone that can come round to your home and help with daily chores that you don’t have time to do. Things like dusting, or cleaning up the kitchen after breakfast, for example. When you book a cleaner through Cleaning Express, you are given an instruction sheet with loads of cleaning tasks on it. Filling out this form lets the cleaner know what cleaning tasks you need them to do during that visit. So, for example, you may need them to vacuum, wash up and change the beds. If a task changes (you have time to do the washing up, but not put the washing on, for example), you can let the cleaner know, and they can do the other task instead. A domestic cleaner is there is help you do the daily stuff; they can’t offer anything other than daily chores, though.

The tasks that domestic cleaners do include:

Dusting
Hoovering
Changing beds
Ironing
Tidy the kitchen
Mop floors
Tidy and clean the bathroom
Folding clothes
Washing clothes
Stacking and emptying dishwashers or washing up
Emptying bins
Watering flowers

Cleaning Express and our cleaners are generally pretty flexible when it comes to cleaning tasks. The cleaner you get each week from Cleaning Express doesn’t need to do the same cleaning duties every week. They can do the cleaning that you don’t have time to do. When you book your cleaning appointment, you can request additional cleaning tasks, and if the cleaner has time, they will do them. Our cleaners are here to help you and will do so within reason.

What can’t a domestic cleaner do?

Domestic cleaners don’t offer carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning services. They also can’t do end of tenancy or deep cleaning services. This is because their time with each customer is limited. However, Cleaning Express can offer all of these cleaning services and more. So, if there’s a party coming up, for example, and would like a deep clean before or after the party, get in touch. Cleaning Express offers every cleaning service you can imagine. So just because your domestic cleaner can’t offer those services during their visit doesn’t mean Cleaning Express can’t.

If you have any questions about domestic cleaning, please explore the Cleaning Express blog further, or get in touch with our lovely Cleaning Express call centre. You can also view our cleaning reviews on Checkatrade.

How to prepare for end of tenancy cleaning

When you are moving out of a property, it must be in the same condition as when you first moved in. Before you moved into your property, your landlord would have had it professionally cleaned. And the easiest and most stress-free way of getting it ready when moving out is to have it professionally cleaned again. Cleaning Express offers the best end of tenancy cleaning services in London. We take the stress out of moving out of rented accommodation. Many people aren’t too sure what to do before our cleaners arrive, though. So, if you’re having end of tenancy cleaning services, here is everything you need to do to prepare for them.

How to prepare for end of tenancy cleaning?

Remove all of your belongings

Follow the moving guide below on advice on packing and preparing your belongings.

USEFUL READ: The Ultimate Moving 101 Guide – Everything You Need to Know

Removing all of your belongings really helps speed up the end of tenancy cleaning as it allows our cleaners to focus on the task and not have to move your furniture and things out of the way. If there are belongings in the property when our cleaners arrive, it makes their job a lot more difficult and can add time and money to the service.

Turn off the fridge and freezer

We’ll happily clean your fridge and freezer if it’s staying at the property. Please make sure both are turned off at least 24 hours before your cleaning appointment, and remove the food. Our cleaners will not clean the fridge or freezer if there is still food present.

Check for repairs

Repairs need to be made before our cleaners arrive. Repairs can often leave a mess that needs to be cleaned up, and so it makes sense to get all of this out of the way before we arrive.

Check your rental agreement

Your rental agreement may include the cleaning of something that isn’t typically covered in a usual end of tenancy clean. This could be cleaning the carpets or upholstery, for example. It is very important that you check your rental agreement, so you can notify the end of tenancy cleaning service you are using. We do offer carpet and upholstery cleaning services in conjunction with our end of tenancy cleaning, but they do cost extra and should be booked alongside your end of tenancy cleaning.

Booking your end of tenancy clean

Booking your end of tenancy clean is as simple as going on the Cleaning Express website and sending us a message. You can also call the Cleaning Express call centre and chat with one of our lovely call centre staff. They can provide a detailed price for the end of tenancy clean and book you in. While our end of tenancy cleaners can be with you as soon as tomorrow, it is also worth booking ahead, so you aren’t stressed leading up to the move.

So, that’s what you need to know about end of tenancy cleaning and how to prepare for it. End of tenancy cleaning takes a lot of stress off of your shoulders. Preparing for the clean is nice and simple too; just be prepared, and everything will go smoothly, and your property will be clean ready for the handover.

Preparing your home for a professional deep clean

If you’ve just booked one of Cleaning Express’ deep cleaning services, this article will help you prepare your home for our professional cleaners. First, though, from everyone here at Cleaning Express, thank you. Our cleaners are looking forward to go to make sure your property is as clean as possible. To help our cleaners, though, there are a few things you can do before they arrive.

How do I prepare my house for deep cleaning?

Will our cleaners need equipment?

If you would like our cleaners to use their own cleaning equipment, please let us know before your appointment. Some of our deep clean customers prefer our cleaners to use the cleaning equipment already in the property. Still, others prefer us to bring our own. Either is fine with our cleaners, but just let us know before your appointment so we can make arrangements and ensure that the cleaner has all of the equipment they need.

Areas to focus on

Our deep cleaning services are totally customisable. This allows us to clean an entire home or focus on particular areas of a property. If you have any areas that you would like our cleaners to clean more than others, please let us know before our visit. If you don’t inform us of these areas, we will deep clean your entire property for you.

Pets

If there are pets at home, we ask that our customers make us aware of them before our cleaners visit. We do this to ensure the cleaners have no surprises on the day and so that they can focus on the job. We may ask you to keep the animals in a separate room while we do our cleaning tasks, so they don’t distract our cleaner.

Any speciality surfaces, decor or appliances

Some marble, natural stone, fabrics and wood can be very sensitive to certain chemicals. If you have any fabric, décor, art or wooden objects in your home that could react to our cleaning chemicals, please let us know. If you’d still like our cleaner to clean these things, they can bring a suitable cleaning product with them or use one that you have provided. We can also supply eco-friendly cleaning products to clean your entire home if you would prefer this. Many of our cleaning customers with pets and kids prefer us to use these natural cleaning products, and we are more than happy to do so.

High windows or cupboards

If you have any tall areas that you would like our cleaners to clean, please let us know beforehand. For things like high windows and cupboards, our cleaners may require a stepladder. Again, we are happy to provide a stepladder, or you can provide one if you have it.

Cupboard cleaning

If you need our cleaner to clean your cupboards, that is no problem at all. We do ask that you empty the cupboards before we arrive, though, as this saves everyone time. If you cannot empty the cupboards yourself, or you don’t have time, please make us aware, and we will ensure that the cleaner allocates some time to do so.

Need a deep clean after building work

If you’ve just had building or renovation work in your home, you may want a cleaner to come in and tidy up and make your home dust-free once more. In this case, our After Building Cleaning Services are the best choice. Our deep cleaning services are extremely thorough, but they are a more generalised cleaning service. Our After Building Cleaning Services are perfect for brick and wood dust and more.

Our deep cleaning services are a personal service that is tailored to suit every one of our cleaning customers. We aim to structure all cleaning tasks based on your instructions. So, the more instructions you provide our cleaners, the better the outcome of your deep clean will be for you. We hope this look at our deep cleaning services has been helpful and we were able to give an idea on how to prepare your home a professional deep clean. Book in for Cleaning Express’ fantastic deep clean services right now. We also provide the following services – end of tenancy cleaning, domestic cleaning or commercial cleaning.

Quality of the air in the office

Having good quality air flowing around your office is vital. Many office workers in London working in buildings that do not have windows that open. This means they are relying on air purification units and the office building’s ventilation system to provide fresh air. But is your ventilation system up to the task?

The quality of air in your office has never been more important. A good ventilation system and an air purification system means that viruses, dust and other airborne particles are filtered out of the workspace. Lastly, this will mean the fresh air is brought in.

Why is fresh air so important in an office?

Fresh air is vital in an office for various reasons and not just the reasons you may think. The fresh air being filtered through a good quality air purification unit means that rates of infections with colds and even COVID are reduced. However, fresh air also allows your employees to work harder. For example, if you have 3 people sat in a meeting (in a medium-sized room). It takes about 45 minutes for the CO2 levels in that room to reach a level that begins to impair the brain. This is without proper ventilation. This means by the end of a one-hour meeting, those three people may be making decisions that affect your business with impaired brains.

Of course, the biggest concerns at the moment are infection rates in offices. The ventilation and purification of air can massively help these as well. However, a lot of ventilation systems are designed to replace all of the air in a building every 20 or 30 minutes. New COVID recommendations state that the air should be replaced every 10 or 15 minutes. An air purification unit can certainly help with the quality of air in your office, but is it enough?

Is installing an air purifier enough?

Installing a good quality air purifier is a great step towards having good quality air in your office. Still, ventilation and cleaning are also vital components too. Cleaning Express is now offering Airsterial Air Purification Systems to our customers. They provide 24-hour protection against odours and bacteria. However, we are also offering Antiviral Disinfection services which kills Coronavirus and other bacteria too. Those are a must for any office in London when employees are returning to work.

While the Air Purification Systems do provide a lot of air in, it is also best to start with a clean slate. This means that your office building should be exceptionally clean and this is where Cleaning Express’ office deep clean and Antiviral Disinfection cleaning services come in. To find out more about Cleaning Express’ cleaning services, explore our website further. To get a quote for installing an air purification system into your office or home and to book in a cleaning service to ensure that you stand the best chance of a clean environment, please give Cleaning Express a call today or send us a message via website or Facebook.

How to choose the best cleaner for your home

Choosing the best cleaner for your home can be tricky. Of course, you want a cleaner that is reliable, trustworthy, and that does an excellent job at the cleaning tasks you don’t have time to do. And if that cleaner can fit their cleaning duties around your schedule and charge a competitive price, that is the dream, isn’t it? If you’re looking for a cleaner to clean your home in London, here are some things to consider and how to choose the best cleaner for you.

Ask for a recommendation

If your friends use a cleaner or a cleaning company, ask them about their experience. They will be able to provide a real-world perspective on how that cleaner performs their job. If your friend uses a self-employed cleaner, though, it is worth bearing in mind that many self-employed cleaners only operate over a small area. So, while that cleaner will be able to clean your friend’s home, they may not cover your area. However, asking a friend for a cleaning recommendation is always a good starting off point.

Look online

Most self-employed cleaners and cleaning companies have some form of online presence nowadays. This could be a Facebook page or a website. Take a look at the cleaning services they provide and the reviews that their customers have left on the site. You can also send the cleaner a message if you want to know more about their services and their availability. You can use local Facebook groups as well to ask for advice from people in your area about the best cleaners and cleaning companies in the area.

Use vetted and insured cleaners

A self-employed cleaner can only really be vetted by their previous clients and their reviews. Domestic cleaners that work for a cleaning company like Cleaning Express, for example, are vetted on much more than this. We fully-trained our cleaners and vet their performance throughout their time with us. This ensures that all of our cleaners are fully trained in all of our cleaning services.

A cleaner must have insurance too. This will typically be liability insurance and ensures that if they damage anything in your home while they are cleaning, they can replace or repair it. We have the best insurance that money can buy. We can ensure that if any of our cleaners do happen to damage any of our customer’s items. (It is extremely rare, but accidents do occur). Then our customers have peace of mind and a quick resolution to the issue.

Choosing between a self-employed cleaner or a cleaning company

Using a self-employed cleaner is a great way of ensuring that only one cleaner will enter your home. You will get to know that cleaner and form a trusting working relationship with them. However, if your cleaner goes on holiday or gets sick, they won’t be able to clean your property. At Cleaning Express, our cleaners have set areas that they work in. This means the cleaner that comes to your home is typically the same person. However, if they are ever on holiday or they get sick, cover can quickly be arranged, so your home or business still gets cleaned.

Of course, as a cleaning company ourselves, we are a bit bias, as to whether a self-employed cleaner or a cleaning company is best. But we provide cleaning services that offer the personal relationship you receive if you choose a self-employed cleaner, but with the backing of a family-run business to ensure that our customers always receive a superior clean from trustworthy, reliable cleaners at a competitive price.

Another factor for consideration is that every cleaner has its preferences and specialisation. Some cleaners are experienced only in domestic sector, some cleaners work in offices and commercial premises. Some cleaning operatives prefer deep cleaning work or carrying out end of tenancy cleaning or after-building cleaning.

To find our more about our cleaning services from Cleaning Express, give us a call or send us a message via our contact page or facebook.
