End of Tenancy Cleaning in London: What Landlords Actually Check
If you’re moving out in London, most deposit disputes come down to the same few areas. This guide shows what gets checked first, where people lose money, and how to avoid it.
The top areas checked first
- Oven and hob (grease, trays, door glass)
- Bathroom limescale (taps, shower screen, grout)
- Toilet base and behind the toilet
- Skirting boards and door frames
- Windowsills and internal window glass
- Floors at edges/corners
- Cupboards and drawers (crumbs/dust)
- Fridge/freezer interior (if included in tenancy terms)
What “professional standard” usually means
- No visible grease in kitchen areas
- No obvious limescale build-up
- No dust lines on skirting or frames
- No residue in sinks/toilets/bath
- Floors clean, including edges
- Property empty and ready for inspection
London-specific issues that cause deductions
- Hard-water limescale in bathrooms
- Oven condition in high-use rentals

- Time pressure on same-day move-outs
- Missed extras (fridge, inside windows, cupboards)
