What's the difference between a regular clean and a deep clean?

A regular clean maintains a tidy home — it covers everyday surfaces, floors, and fixtures. A deep clean goes much further: behind appliances, inside windows, skirting boards, limescale removal, and a thorough bathroom and kitchen scrub. Most clients start with a deep clean and then move to regular maintenance.

How often should I book a regular clean?

That depends on your household. Families with children or pets often prefer weekly visits. Couples or single occupants typically find fortnightly or monthly works well. We're flexible and will work around whatever suits you best.

Does your end of tenancy clean guarantee my deposit back?

We are confident in our standards and clean to a professional level that satisfies landlord and letting agent expectations across Ayrshire and South Glasgow. If your landlord raises a cleaning issue after our visit, we will return and re-clean the relevant areas free of charge.

Do you bring your own equipment and products?

Yes — we bring everything. All our products are eco-friendly and safe for children and pets. You don't need to provide anything.

Are your staff vetted and insured?

Absolutely. All Couthy Clean staff are PVG checked and we carry full Public and Employers' Liability insurance. You can open your door with complete confidence.

Do you serve areas outside Ayrshire?

Yes. We also cover East Renfrewshire (Newton Mearns, Giffnock, Clarkston) and South Glasgow (Busby, Eaglesham and surrounding areas). Not sure if we cover your postcode? Just get in touch and we'll let you know.

Do you offer move in and move out cleaning?

Yes. Our end of tenancy cleaning service covers both move out cleans for tenants and move in cleans for those starting fresh in a new property. We clean everything top to bottom including oven, fridge, inside cabinets and walls.

How Much Does End of Tenancy Cleaning Cost in 2026?

If you’ve started getting quotes for an end of tenancy clean, you’ve probably noticed prices vary a lot between companies. That’s because the price genuinely does depend on several specific factors — not just the number of bedrooms.

Here’s what actually drives the cost, and realistic price ranges so you’re not caught out.

Typical UK Price Ranges by Property Size

Property Size	Typical Price Range
Studio flat	£120 – £200
1 bedroom flat	£150 – £230
2 bedroom flat/house	£180 – £280
3 bedroom house	£220 – £340
4 bedroom house	£280 – £420
5+ bedroom house	£400+

These are general UK indicative ranges — get an exact figure for your property with our free quote tool, which factors in your specific rooms, condition and any extras.

What Actually Affects the Price

1. Number of Bedrooms and Bathrooms

The main driver of price, since it dictates how many rooms need attention and how long the job takes.

2. Condition of the Property

A property that’s been kept reasonably clean throughout the tenancy costs less to bring up to standard than one with months of built-up grime. Most quote forms (including ours) ask you to rate the property’s condition — this isn’t us fishing for extra money, it genuinely changes the labour required.

3. Appliances Included

Oven, fridge/freezer and washing machine cleaning are often quoted separately or as add-ons, since they take real time to do properly (especially a neglected oven).

4. Carpet Cleaning

If your tenancy agreement requires professional carpet cleaning specifically, this is usually priced per room and added on top of the standard clean.

5. Extras: Windows, Garden, Garage

Interior windows are usually included as standard; exterior windows, garden tidying, or garage clearance are typically extra.

6. Location

Prices in and around major cities tend to run 10–15% higher than more rural areas, reflecting local labour and travel costs.

Fixed Price vs Hourly Rate — Which Is Better?

Most reputable end of tenancy cleaners quote a fixed price based on your property details, not an hourly rate. This is worth insisting on: an hourly rate leaves you exposed if the job takes longer than expected, and there’s little incentive for the cleaner to work efficiently. A fixed quote (like the one you’ll get from us) means you know the exact cost before anyone sets foot in the property.

Is It Worth Paying More for a Guarantee?

Some companies offer a re-clean guarantee if your landlord or letting agent isn’t satisfied at check-out. Given that the whole point of the exercise is protecting your deposit, this is usually worth the small premium — the alternative is arguing with your landlord after the fact, which costs far more in time and stress than the difference in price.

FAQ

Is end of tenancy cleaning worth it, or should I just do it myself? If your time is limited or the property needs more than a light tidy, professional cleaning is usually cheaper than the deposit deductions you risk by cutting corners.

Can I get a fixed price without an in-person visit? Yes — most companies, including ours, can quote accurately from a short form covering bedrooms, bathrooms, condition, and any extras like ovens or carpets.

Do prices include VAT? This varies by company — always check whether the quoted price is inclusive before booking.

What’s the difference between end of tenancy cleaning and a regular deep clean? End of tenancy cleaning is built around what a letting agent’s check-out inventory specifically looks for (appliances, skirting, windows, limescale) rather than general household upkeep.

Should I book before or after I’ve moved my furniture out? Always after. Cleaners need clear access to skirting boards, floors and surfaces that furniture would otherwise cover.
