End of Tenancy Cleaning in Folkestone

Local realities in Folkestone — and how we adapt

Local property mix: Edwardian villas above the harbour, Victorian terraces inland, and new-build along the seafront regeneration.

What's included

An end of tenancy clean is the deep, top-to-bottom reset a property needs at the end of an Assured Shorthold Tenancy so it matches the move-in inventory and the deposit can be returned in full. ExpertHome works to the AIIC / APIP inventory standard used by most UK letting agents — every appliance is degreased inside and out, every cupboard is emptied and wiped, every limescale spot in the bathroom is treated, and the property is left ready for a check-out inspection.

• Oven dismantled — door glass, racks, trays and hob detailed
• Extractor hood, filters and tiled splashback degreased
• Fridge and freezer defrosted, washed and deodorised
• Kitchen cupboards emptied and wiped inside, out and on top
• Bathroom limescale removal from taps, glass, tiles and grout
• Toilets sanitised including base, seat hinges and cistern
• Inside windows, frames, sills, tracks and trickle vents
• Skirting boards, switches, sockets and door frames wiped
• Carpets vacuumed; hard floors mopped and edge-detailed
• Wardrobes, drawers and shelving emptied and dust-free
• Walls spot-cleaned for marks (deep stains noted, not painted)
• Bins washed and replaced with a fresh liner

What affects the quote

We don't publish a per-job price because every property and access situation in Folkestone is different. These are the factors our quoting team weighs.

• Number of bedrooms, bathrooms and reception rooms
• General condition — lived-in vs. hard wear (smoking, pets, mould)
• Whether carpets need professional extraction on top
• Oven, hob and extractor condition (heavy carbon takes longer)
• Limescale severity in the bathroom
• Furnished or unfurnished (cupboards and drawers add detailing time)
• Parking and access — top-floor with no lift adds carry time
