End of Tenancy Cleaning across Stevenage, done properly
Stevenage turns over tenancies all year instead of in one seasonal rush. The council owns and manages 7,971 homes, another 1,446 flats sit on long lease with the council still holding the freehold, and there is a private let market on top serving people who commute into King's Cross.
No university here means nothing arrives in a September heap. We clean properties empty and before the check out inspection rather than after somebody has failed one, and we work backwards from the date the keys go in. Council standard, agent standard or your own, send it and we clean to it.
What we have learned working in Stevenage
Things we plan around when we are doing end of tenancy cleaning in Stevenage:
- Empty, and before the inspection Give us the date the keys go back and we work backwards from it. Council tenancies and leasehold flats here get inspected on a fixed appointment, so the date is rarely a surprise and there is no reason to be cleaning around a removal van.
- The standard is often a housing officer's With 7,971 council homes in the town, the sheet you are being checked against is frequently the council's rather than a letting agent's. Send us whichever one applies and we clean against that list instead of a generic one.
- Whoever books it gets the invoice A lot of the housing here is council leasehold or let through an agent, so the person who opens the door is often not the person paying. Say at booking whether it goes to the landlord, the agent or the tenant.
- Getting the leftovers out In Bedwell, Shephall and Chells the parking is behind the houses and the front door faces a footpath, so anything left behind has to be carried. Tell us what is being left and we bring the right van and enough hands.
What end of tenancy cleaning in Stevenage includes
The standard check out specification. Adjusted to the inventory if you send it over.
- Oven, hob and extractor stripped and cleaned, including between the door glass

What people say about MyT Clean
My tenancy is with the council and a housing officer does the inspection. Do you clean to their standard?
Yes. Send us the sheet they gave you and we work through it item by item. Stevenage Borough Council manages close to 8,000 homes, so the check out list is a known quantity, and the things that catch people out are the oven, the extractor filters and the limescale on the tiles. Those are where we start.
Does the flat need to be empty before you come?
Empty is best and it is what we quote for. We can only clean inside a cupboard that has been cleared and under a bed that has gone. If a few bits will still be there on the day, say so beforehand and we will plan around them rather than shuffling them from room to room while we work.
The new tenant moves in on the Saturday. Can you clean the day before?
Usually yes. We are in Stevenage Monday to Friday and we work Saturdays 9am to 4pm as well, and the vans come in on the A602 from Bedford, so a first thing start is no trouble. Book the slot as soon as the check out date is set, because Fridays before a Saturday move go quickly.
Do I need to be there?
No. Most of our check out cleans are done with a key from the agent or a key safe. You get the photographs by email either way.
Which parts of Stevenage do you cover?
All of SG1 and SG2, including the Old Town, Bedwell, Shephall, Chells, Pin Green, Symonds Green, Broadwater and Great Ashby.
How much notice do you need?
A few days is comfortable. We can often do next day if you are stuck, especially outside the end of month rush.
