Book early — the summer rush is real
Across the student belt, half the houses hand keys back in the same two weeks. Good slots in late June and July go two to three weeks ahead, so book as soon as you know your hand-back date rather than the week of.
What the check-out flags in a student house
After a year of shared living, two things dominate the report: the oven and the carpets. Then the kitchen generally — the extractor filter, behind the fridge, inside the units — and the bathrooms.
- Oven interior, racks and door glass (the number-one flag)
- Carpets and stair runners, if the inventory logged them cleaned at move-in
- Kitchen units, extractor filter and behind appliances
- Bathroom grout, screens and the toilet
Splitting the bill
An end of tenancy clean is quoted as one fixed price for the whole house by size — usually far cheaper per person than you'd expect, and a lot less hassle than arguing over who does the bathroom. One housemate just needs to confirm the booking and sort access on the day.
Know your deposit rights
Your deposit is held in a government-backed scheme (TDS, DPS or mydeposits) and a dispute is judged against the inventory check-out report. Cleaning to that report is the strongest evidence you can give — which is exactly what a professional end of tenancy clean delivers.
DIY or pro?
You can do it yourselves, but the oven and the time are what usually beat a student house at 11pm before a 9am check-out. A pro clean to the check-out standard, with a re-clean guarantee, is normally cheaper than the deduction — and you get your day back.
Frequently asked questions
When should a Manchester student book an end of tenancy clean?
As early as you can for late June and July — the whole student belt hands keys back at once, so popular dates go two to three weeks ahead.
How do we split the cost between housemates?
We quote one fixed price for the whole house by size; how you split it is up to you. One person just needs to confirm the booking and arrange access.
Will the clean get our deposit back?
It removes cleaning as a reason for deductions — the most common one in student houses. We clean to the inventory check-out standard and re-clean free within 48 hours if the report flags our work.
Which areas do you cover for students?
All the student areas — Fallowfield, Withington, Rusholme, Ladybarn and the Salford university belt — plus the rest of Greater Manchester.
