Lynch has cleaned end of tenancy properties across London since 2011. We started as inventory clerks, and kept finding professional cleans that did not hold up at the check-out. So we trained our cleaners to work to the standard an inventory clerk inspects to. That is the difference: not a routine clean, but a clean checked through the lens of the report it has to pass. If anything is flagged, our guarantee means we aim to be back within one working day, not weeks. Agency approved, and trusted by London letting agents including Foxtons, Hamptons and John D Wood.
"End of tenancy clean" means different things to different companies.
People usually find out what was missing at check-out, when a re-clean charge lands for things their clean never covered. Ours is a full agency-standard clean, and our teams clean to the standard the inventory clerk judges against, because we are an inventory company too.
After the clean you receive a before and after photo report, room by room, within two working days. If anyone queries the clean, the evidence is already in your hands.

The cleans we offer.
One standard for an empty property. The full clean gets it there, a light clean keeps it there, and carpets and upholstery go deeper.
The gold standard
End of tenancy clean.
A deep clean of an empty property, room by room. Bathroom fittings descaled, kitchen appliances cleaned inside and out, windows cleaned where accessible, cupboards done inside and out. Also called a check-out clean, pre-tenancy or move-in clean, it is the same clean either way.
The top-up
Light clean.
When a property has had the full clean but has sat empty or had viewings since, this brings it back to standard. Surfaces polished, floors vacuumed, bathroom and sink freshened. Also called a sparkle clean or a top-up clean.
The add-on
Carpet and upholstery cleaning.
Carpets and upholstery cleaned with a machine, added to either End of tenancy clean or Light clean. Not available on its own.
Both cleans are for vacant properties at a change of tenancy. Lynch is not a domestic cleaning service and does not offer regular or mid-tenancy cleaning of occupied homes.
Cleaning is the number one reason tenants lose money.
Cleaning is named in 54% of UK deposit disputes. It is the single biggest reason tenants lose money at the end of a tenancy, and it is the most avoidable. Get the clean right to the check-out standard and the most common deduction disappears.

The Free Re-Clean Guarantee.
Most cleaning guarantees expire after 48 hours, before the check-out report has even landed. Ours is built around the report, not a countdown. If the clerk flags a point we missed, tell us within 14 days of the clean and we put it right at no charge. Once a return visit is agreed, we aim to be back within one working day. That is the Lynch Guarantee, in writing. Done properly, first time.

Will this clean satisfy my agent?+
This is the clean the big agencies book themselves. We have spent over a decade working with agencies like Foxtons, Hamptons and John D Wood, and we have helped agents compile the very cleaning specifications tenants are asked to meet. We are not guessing what your agent needs. We helped write it.
What do I need to do before the clean?+
Move out fully. Take all belongings and rubbish with you, or the agent may charge a removal fee. The property needs to be empty when we arrive.
When should the clean happen?+
Ideally the day before your check-out, so there is a full day to make sure everything is done properly. If not, we recommend a morning clean followed by an afternoon check-out.
What if the inventory clerk flags something?+
Tell us within 14 days of the clean. If we missed it, we come back and put it right at no charge, aiming to be back within one working day. That is the Lynch Guarantee, in writing.
How do I pay?+
Card payment when you book. Your receipt is emailed shortly after, and the price includes VAT.
