Letting your property is a significant step, and with the busy task of finding the right tenant, it’s easy to overlook a critical element: preparing your property for viewings with a thorough clean.
A spotless property not only attracts more prospective tenants but can even increase the rental value in some cases. Most tenants expect their new home to be professionally cleaned before they move in, saving landlords the hassle of sourcing reliable cleaners at the last minute. At CleanGreat, we specialize in pre-tenancy cleans, ensuring your property meets the highest standards and is ready to impress.
While a regular house cleaning service is ideal for ongoing maintenance, a pre-tenancy cleaning service is tailored specifically for landlords or individuals preparing to let out their property. This intensive, one-time clean is perfect for refreshing your space before new tenants move in or view the property, sometimes even helping to boost your rental rate!
If you’re in need of pre-tenancy cleaning services, we’ve got you covered. CleanGreat serves properties of all sizes. For more information, drop us an email at hello@cleangreat.co.uk or give us a call 01134601363 (Yorkshire Area) / 02080504625 (London & South East).

Just like no two homes are alike, our service is tailored to meet the unique needs of your property. Not all cleaning items will be relevant every time, and our expert cleaners know exactly what to focus on based on your home’s current condition. This means we prioritise areas that need extra attention, providing a customised clean every visit.
Our team at CleanGreat have extensive experience with pre-tenancy cleaning, so here are a few tips to make the process smooth and stress-free:
1. Be Available or Arrange Key Access
With pre- and end-of-tenancy cleans, properties are often vacant. We recommend leaving a key with a neighbour or concierge if possible, sparing you the need to wait inside an empty home especially if the internet has been disconnected.
2. Keep Water and Electricity On
We understand the inclination to cut off water and electricity before moving out, but both are essential for a proper clean. Please ensure they are accessible until your cleaning is complete.
3. Schedule a Few Days Ahead
Try to schedule your end-of-tenancy clean a few days before your contract end date. This way, if a re-clean is needed, there’s time to address it without any rush.
4. Avoid Schedule Clashes with Other Services
If you’re coordinating with handymen, plumbers, or other services, avoid scheduling them for the same day. Cleaning while other repairs or maintenance are underway can be challenging for everyone involved.
5. Allow Extra Time for a Thorough Clean
Pre-tenancy cleans require more time than regular maintenance cleaning, so please consider this when planning to book. A little extra time ensures we achieve the best results.
