So what does end of tenancy cleaning actually cost in Leicester in 2026?

Let me be honest with you, because most websites won't be.

Yes, you'll see prices starting from around £200 for a one-bedroom property. But that's for a property that's been looked after. Clean walls, no mould, no heavy limescale, no grease baked into the oven for two years.

The reality for a lot of rental properties is different.

If there's mould on the walls or ceiling — that needs treating properly, not just wiping. If there's heavy limescale built up around taps, the showerhead, the toilet, the tiles — that takes time and strong chemicals to remove safely. If the oven or extractor fan is caked in grease — that's a job in itself.

When a property has all of that going on, the price goes up. Not because I'm trying to catch you out — but because the work is genuinely harder, it takes longer, and it requires stronger products to do it properly.

A heavily soiled one-bedroom flat can easily reach £400 or more when you factor in mould treatment, limescale removal, and deep cleaning throughout. That's the reality. Anyone quoting you £100 for that same job is either rushing through it or leaving half of it undone.

Strong chemicals cost money. Time costs money. And doing the job properly — so your landlord can't withhold your deposit — is worth paying for once, rather than losing it completely.

The best thing you can do is be honest with me when you enquire. Tell me the condition of the property. Tell me if there's mould, if the oven hasn't been cleaned in a year, if the bathroom is heavily limescaled. I won't judge you — I've seen it all. But it means I can give you an accurate quote upfront, with no surprises on the day.
