    Your Lewisham Checkout Clean, Done Properly

    A checkout clean isn't regular upkeep. It covers all surfaces, cupboards, and appliances to meet the inventory clerk’s standards. All our jobs in Lewisham are this way—we clean room by room to the inventory; we don’t do a quick sweep.

    Every team has £5M public liability insurance, DBS checks, and SafeContractor approval. Should any issues arise within 7days of the clean, we’ll return and fix them for free. Once we’re done, you’re all covered.

    Lewisham has a diverse rental market. Every summer, Goldsmiths students in New Cross move out, while young creatives vacate Deptford flats and Brockley terraces. In Hither Green, commuter families rent 1930s semis. We clean them all every week, so we know how inventory checks go across all these home types.

    Rentals We Clean Across Lewisham

    Most of our cleaning jobs come next. The end of let cleaning brief covers everything from Victorian terraces to new riverside flats. However, the tenancy cleaning standard doesn’t change across all jobs.

    Victorian terraces
    in Catford, New Cross, and Forest Hill – at checkout, bay windows, original tile floors, and period features require careful attention.
    1930s semi-detached homes
    in Hither Green and Grove Park - older kitchens and bathrooms in places, bigger gardens, and more surface area than a modern flat.
    Georgian villas
    in Blackheath - grand period homes in a conservation area, with ornate interiors that need the right cleaning products and attentive handling.
    New-build riverside flats
    in Deptford - modern finishes near Convoys Wharf, post-construction dust still travelling inside newer blocks, and big windows that need a clean at handover.

    For Tenants, Landlords and Letting Agents in Lewisham

    For Tenants, Get Your Deposit Back

    Get your deposit back in full and pass the inventory check the first time. Whether you call it end of let cleaning, post tenancy cleaning, or after tenancy cleaning, it’s not important. The standard stays the same. We follow the inventory so that the clerk approves the cleaning and you get your deposit back.

    And this is true, whether you vacate a new flat near Convoys Wharf in Deptford, a student house in New Cross, or a Victorian terrace in Catford.

    Tenants in Lewisham get a signed cleaning checklist, invoice, and before-and-after photos. Should you get into a cleaning dispute with your landlord or the deposit protection scheme, that’s the paperwork to show.

    Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, your landlord cannot charge you for professional cleaning unless it was agreed in your tenancy contract. If you do arrange professional cleaning, our documented process - signed checklist, timestamped photos, and invoice - provides the evidence that the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS), Deposit Protection Service (DPS), or mydeposits may request in a Lewisham cleaning dispute.

    For Landlords and Letting Agents

    Empty rentals bleed money to landlords. The next rental won’t start if the current one is disputed. With our end of tenancy cleaning services in Lewisham, rentals are quickly ready for move-in. Inventory clerks receive, with our move-out cleaning service, a signed checklist, dated photos, and a written invoice. Across the SE postcodes, we provide same-week jobs, whether it’s a flat or several homes at once.

    Quote

    There are no forms to fill in. After you get your free online quote, you book the slot. Put in the home’s size, postcode, and any add-ons. Within a few hours, we’ll return with a fixed price.

    On the Day

    Our team leader examines the place. Because Thames Water is very hard across every Lewisham postcode, we start by descaling taps, shower screens, and kettle elements. Working top to bottom, we clean each room, covering every cupboard and machine to meet the inventory standard. In Victorian terraces in Catford and Brockley, we carefully handle bay window frames and original tile floors.
    3

    Quality Check

    Before the team leaves, our team leader inspects the place once again, using the cleaning checklist as a reference. If they notice issues, we fix them then. You get before-and-after photos and a detailed invoice. Should anything fall short within 7 days, we will return to re-clean for free.
    4

    Payment

    You don’t pay anything in advance. We charge you for a job completed and checked. We don’t do upfront payments or booking fees. On the day, you get an invoice. If you end up in cleaning talks with your landlord or agent, you can use it as evidence.

    What Makes a Lewisham Clean Different

    Checkout cleaning in Lewisham isn’t standard, and that’s due to three local factors. As inventory clerks examine each of them, we include them all in all jobs.
    01

    Hard water limescale

    Across every SE postcode, Thames Water is very hard. That’s why taps, shower screens, and kettle elements quickly show limescale. It’s the most typical problem clerks will flag. Therefore, every one of our jobs includes a more intensive descaling cycle.
    02

    Traffic dust from the A20, A2, and South Circular

    Homes on nearby streets, especially in Catford and New Cross, show fine grit and road soot. This dust deposits on window sills, sash frames, and ledges. Here, the main cleaning starts with a surface pass on those surfaces.
    03

    Heritage constraints in conservation areas

    Blackheath and historic Deptford are inside conservation areas, and cleaning methods are controlled. The original features in Georgian villas in Blackheath need specific products. We know the difference between safe cleaning and not touching surfaces at all.
    04

    New-build handover dust from Convoys Wharf

    The Deptford riverside site is large and still ongoing. In nearby flats, fine dust from the new phases travels inside through gaps and windows. It can linger after the handover. In newer blocks, clerks will look for it. In any flat on or near an ongoing phase, we run a dust pass.

    Additional Steps for Lewisham Properties

    • Thames Water is very hard across every Lewisham postcode, so we run a heavier descaling cycle on all kitchen and bathroom fittings.
    • In homes near the A20, A2, and South Circular corridors in Catford and New Cross, window ledges, sash frames, and sills get a targeted dust pass.
    • Across Blackheath and historic Deptford, in conservation-area homes, we carefully choose our products to clean original features and listed fabric.

    Lewisham Tenancy Cleaning Questions

    What does end of tenancy cleaning include?
    It includes every room, from ceilings down to floors. We clean ovens, hobs, fridge, freezer, washing machine, all bathroom fittings, windows, skirting boards, wardrobes inside and out, and floors. The name doesn’t matter-- end of lease cleaning or a checkout clean – the scope is the same. Because Thames Water is very hard throughout the SE postcodes, Lewisham jobs also include a heavier descaling pass on taps and shower screens. Take a look at the room-by-room checklist.
    How long does a checkout clean take?
    It takes 3 to 4 hours for a studio or one-bed, and 6 to 8 hours for a four-bed or larger. We clean a two- or three-bed in 4 to 6 hours. Cleaning a big Victorian terrace in Catford or a Georgian villa in Blackheath will take us the most time. Remember that this isn’t routine upkeep but a full move-out standard cleaning.
    When do I pay?
    After we finish the cleaning. We don’t do upfront payments or booking fees. Before the team leaves, we give you an invoice. Should you have any cleaning query with your landlord or agent, you can use it as evidence.
    What if it doesn't pass the check?
    Let us know. If your landlord or letting agent finds issues within 7 days of the clean, we’ll return and fix them without charging. That’s what our 7-day re-clean means.
    Do I have to be home?
    No. Typically, tenants in Lewisham give us the key or provide access through their letting agent. After we finish, you’re more than welcome to come for a walk-through.
    Do you do carpets too?
    Yes. After tenancies, carpets in Lewisham student houses in New Cross and Victorian terraces need cleaning. Add carpet cleaning to your checkout clean, and you'll save 60%. The price includes hot-water extraction, stain treatment, and deodorising. Booking them together is money well spent—just let us know when you ask for the quote.
    Do you cover New Cross and Deptford?
    Yes. We cover New Cross (SE14) and Deptford (SE8)—every postcode in Lewisham. We’re the team to hire when you're searching for end of tenancy cleaning near me in those areas. We know how to clean both student houses around Goldsmiths and the new riverside flats near Convoys Wharf.
    Are you free for a last-minute booking before a tenancy ends?
    Yes. We try to fit in short-notice moving out cleaning across Lewisham whenever we have space. And same-week and next-day slots are usually open outside peak moving seasons.
