Not all cleaners — and not all cleans — are equal. A cheap quote is rarely a bargain; it's usually a shortcut. Here's what the gap between cheap and fair actually buys.
The whole point of an end of tenancy clean is to pass the inventory check-out and protect your deposit. A quote that undercuts the market by half isn't doing more for less — it's doing less, faster, with cheaper products, and no comeback. The deposit you were trying to save is the one most at risk.
Fair pricing reflects the time, the team, the professional products and the standard needed to actually hand a property back deposit-ready. That's what we charge — and nothing more.
A genuine end of tenancy clean on a two-bed takes a team most of a day. A £70 quote buys you roughly an hour and a half — there is no version of physics where that leaves a property deposit-ready.
Professional degreasers, descalers and non-caustic oven cleaners cost money. The bottom of the market dilutes them, substitutes them, or simply doesn't use them — so the grease and limescale are still there at check-out.
Skirting board tops, door frames, window tracks, extractor fans, behind the fridge. These are exactly where an inventory clerk looks — and exactly what a rushed clean misses.
A cheap clean has no promise behind it. When the landlord flags a miss, you're left paying someone else to put it right — or losing the deposit you were trying to protect.
