Two cleaners can reduce the elapsed time, but billing is based on total cleaner-hours. For example, two cleaners working for four hours equal eight cleaner-hours.
What changes the number of hours?
Condition has more impact than floor area alone. Built-up oven grease, bathroom limescale, crowded cupboards, pet hair and fine renovation dust all add time. Clear access, an empty fridge and freezer, and removal of personal belongings help the team work through the checklist without pauses.
Photos taken before booking help Hausio estimate the work. The estimate should show the likely hours, optional products, extra tasks and any Central London access charge.
What an end-of-tenancy clean covers
Kitchen
Oven, hob, extractor, fridge and freezer interiors, accessible cupboards and drawers, worktops, sink, taps, splashbacks and floor.
Bathrooms
Bath or shower, screens, accessible grout and silicone, taps, toilet, basin, mirrors, fittings and floor.
Living rooms and bedrooms
Accessible surfaces, skirting, doors, switches, sockets, wardrobes, interior window glass and floors or carpets.
Hallways and stairs
Dusting, vacuuming or mopping, skirting, doors, handrails and reachable fittings.
Balconies, exterior windows, carpet extraction, upholstery and specialist stain treatment should be agreed separately where needed.
How long should you allow?
A well-kept one-bedroom flat may fit into five to seven cleaner-hours. A larger property or a home with heavy kitchen and bathroom build-up can require substantially longer. Send current photographs instead of relying only on bedroom count.
Professional cleaning and tenancy deposits
In England, a landlord or agent cannot require a tenant to pay a separate prohibited fee for a third-party cleaning service. The tenant may still need to return the property to the cleanliness recorded at check-in, allowing for fair wear and tear. The government's Tenant Fees Act guidance explains the permitted-payment framework.
For a deposit deduction, records matter: retain the check-in inventory, dated before-and-after photographs, the cleaner's invoice and the check-out report. The future Private Rented Sector Landlord Ombudsman is part of the Renters' Rights Act programme, but the government's current roadmap expects mandatory landlord membership in 2028. It should not be presented as a live shortcut for cleaning-deposit disputes in 2026.
Before the cleaners arrive
- Remove belongings and rubbish unless removal is part of the booking.
- Defrost and empty the freezer if it must be cleaned inside.
- Provide access to cupboards, appliances and utility areas.
- Share the agent or inventory checklist before the visit.
- Identify fragile finishes, existing damage and areas requiring specialist products.
