End of tenancy checklist for Waterloo homes
Every end of tenancy cleaning job in Waterloo follows a written, room-by-room checklist, so nothing depends on memory. Before we start, we walk through the property with you or your agent and adjust the list to suit it.

- Bedrooms and living areas: wardrobes and built-in storage cleaned inside; skirting boards, doors, frames and handles wiped; light switches and sockets cleaned; radiators dusted; cobwebs removed.
- Windows: inside glass, frames, sills and tracks cleaned; blinds dusted where fitted.
- Floors: carpets vacuumed throughout; hard floors vacuumed and mopped, including edges and under movable furniture.
- Finishing: bins emptied and cleaned, rubbish bagged, and a final walk-through against the checklist.
End of tenancy cleaning for modern apartments and new-build blocks in Waterloo
Most homes in Waterloo are modern apartments and new-build blocks, and each type has its own cleaning challenges. New-build flats have open-plan kitchens, glass showers, hard floors and lots of chrome and glossy surfaces. Agents for new-build flats check glass showers, extractor filters, integrated appliances and balcony doors, so we clean all of these as standard.
We book lifts, fobs and concierge access ahead, and use streak-free methods on glass, gloss and stainless steel. From streets near the Southbank Centre to the quieter roads around them, our checklist stays the same.
