When an end of tenancy clean is due
- Your occupation contract is ending and the check-out is booked
- The landlord has raised cleaning as a possible deposit deduction
- A let property is standing empty between contract-holders
- Decorating or repairs between lets have left dust behind
- The check-in inventory records the property as professionally cleaned
End of tenancy cleans in Newport terraces and new builds
East of the River Usk, much of Maindee, St Julians and Lliswerry is late Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing. High ceilings, picture rails, bay windows and old fireplaces collect dust a quick wipe misses, and grout on old encaustic hall tiles needs scrubbing by hand.
Newer houses at Glan Llyn and Rogerstone have integrated ovens, extractor hoods and en-suite shower rooms. Limescale on shower glass and grease in extractor filters need attention even when the rest of the house looks tidy.

Flats around Commercial Street and Stow Hill are often reached by a shared stair, so equipment and rubbish bags go up and down the same way. Small kitchens put grease on the window glass and frames.
Many newer homes have hard floors downstairs and carpet upstairs, which may need cleaning separately. Patio doors and large windows show fingerprints and dog nose marks at low level.
Deposits are protected in an authorised scheme, and the inventory signed at move-in is the record an adjudicator uses if cleaning is disputed. Check-in photos of the oven, fridge and bathroom set a fair standard for the end.

Timing the clean around the move-out
- Empty the property
The last furniture and belongings go first, because items left behind slow the work and hide marks the inspector will find.
- Defrost the freezer
Switch it off the day before, leave the door open and put a towel down for the water.
- Keep power and water on
The clean needs electricity and water, so keep both connected and say where keys are collected and returned.

End of tenancy cleaning in Newport: questions
Does a newer house still need a full end of tenancy clean?
Newer homes collect the same grease, limescale and marks, mostly in kitchens and shower rooms. Hard floors and fewer period features usually make the clean shorter than in a Victorian terrace of the same size.
Can carpets be cleaned at the same time?
Carpets and upholstery can be added. Tell us which rooms are carpeted and whether there are pet stains, as these take longer to treat.
Is the shared stair to my flat part of the clean?
Meters, bins and the shared hallway of an upstairs flat sit at street level and may belong to the building. Check the inventory for which parts of the stair and hallway belong to the let.
