End of Tenancy Cleaning South Kensington

Yes — Thames Water's RBKC supply across SW7 deposits calcium carbonate on bathroom tiles, shower screens and chrome fittings at a rate that standard bathroom spray cannot address at inspection standard. Savills and Knight Frank check bathroom surfaces for limescale residue directly on SW7 handovers. We apply specialist descalers with appropriate dwell time as standard on every South Kensington clean. Our guide on removing limescale before moving out explains what agents look for.

Costs vary considerably across SW7's property range — a large multi-room stucco townhouse maisonette takes considerably longer than a compact one-bedroom conversion flat, and mews houses require adapted technique for their multi-level layouts. See our London tenancy cleaning price guide for a full breakdown by property type, or contact us for a fixed SW7 quote.

Yes — mews houses are a specialism throughout SW7. Original stable-conversion timber joinery, compact multi-level layouts, low eaves in upper rooms and period kitchen and bathroom fittings all require technique adapted to the property type. Cluttons and Winkworth inspect mews courtyard condition and internal joinery directly at handover. Confirm the property is a mews at booking so we size the team and allocate time correctly.

Many SW7 tenancy agreements — particularly those on the larger period stock managed by Knight Frank, Savills and Winkworth — include a professional cleaning clause. If yours does, it is enforceable. Even without one, you must return the property to its move-in condition to recover your deposit. Our article on whether your landlord can insist on professional cleaning explains your legal position clearly.

Yes — oven, hob, extractor fan, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher all deep-cleaned inside and out as standard. Knight Frank and Savills check appliance interiors directly on SW7 handovers. Our oven cleaning guide covers the professional standard they inspect against.

Remove all personal belongings, defrost the fridge and freezer, and ensure clear access to all rooms. For mews properties, confirm whether the courtyard or approach is within your tenancy scope and clear it where possible. For properties with existing mould at window frames, flag this at booking. Our South Kensington move-out checklist covers everything to sort in the days before your clean.

We'll always try — visit our same-day tenancy cleaning page to check current SW7 availability or call directly. South Kensington Underground station's Circle, District and Piccadilly line connections give our teams reliable direct access to the postcode for urgent requests.

Our 72-hour re-clean guarantee means we return first to address any legitimate concerns at no cost. If deductions are then raised without valid grounds, our guide to challenging unfair deposit claims explains the dispute process through the relevant tenancy deposit scheme and what evidence from your clean strengthens your case.

Yes — stucco townhouse and period conversion features are a specialism throughout SW7. Original fireplaces (surround, mantel and firebox), sash window runner channels cleaned along their full length, ornate cornicing moulding recesses and original floorboards treated with wood-safe pH-neutral products as standard. Winkworth and Knight Frank inspect all of these directly at South Kensington handovers. See our Winkworth and Knight Frank inspection guides for the full checklist.
