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
Cleaning a Swansea shared house at move-out
Shared houses in Brynmill and Uplands often have five or six people using one hob and a crowded fridge-freezer, so the kitchen carries the heaviest build-up. Furnished rooms are cleaned along with the bed, desk, drawers and wardrobe, inside and out.
When sharers leave on different dates, rooms can be cleaned as they empty and the shared kitchen, lounge and bathrooms done once the last person has gone. Tell us the number of tenants as well as the bedrooms.

In the Castle, Uplands, St Thomas and Waterfront wards, an HMO needs a licence whatever its size. Licence conditions cover keeping appliances and fittings in safe working order, so the gap between sharers suits a thorough clean.
Several contracts on the same street often end within days of each other in early summer. Give us each sharer’s leaving date so the rooms can be planned in order.
Swansea Council runs more than 400 residents-only parking locations and issues waivers to tradespeople loading in them. Tell us the street name and whether the bays outside are permit-only.
Blocks around the marina have fob entry, lifts and managed bin stores, and the managing agent may set rules on contractor use of the lift. Sea-facing glass collects a film of salt, and window interiors are part of the clean.

Interior glass and frames cleaned, carpets vacuumed and hard floors mopped.
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.
What the price depends on in Swansea
- How many bedrooms and bathrooms the property has
- Furnished or unfurnished
- The condition of the oven, fridge and bathrooms
- Whether carpet cleaning is needed as well
- The dates between move-out and check-out
- The number of sharers using the kitchen and bathrooms
- How many ovens and fridges there are and how much has been left behind
End of tenancy cleaning in Swansea: questions
Can rooms be cleaned while other sharers are still living in the house?
A room can be cleaned once its contract-holder has moved out. Shared areas are best left until the last person has gone, otherwise they need cleaning a second time.
Does an HMO licence change what the clean needs to cover?
The licence puts conditions on the landlord, including keeping fixtures, fittings and appliances in safe working order. A thorough clean of the cooker, fridge and bathroom fittings between lets makes faults easier to spot before new contract-holders arrive.
What affects the price of a student house clean in Swansea?
Mainly the number of sharers and the state of the shared kitchen and bathrooms, along with carpets and anything left behind.
Clearing a student house or HMO in Swansea?
Send the street, the number of bedrooms and sharers, each contract end date, and whether rubbish or furniture has been left behind.
