Cambridge has a fast-moving rental market, with university staff and researchers, biotech and tech employees, hospital staff at Addenbrooke's and students all competing for homes. Rents are high and so are deposits, and agents compare the property carefully with the inventory at check-out.
An end of tenancy clean covers the whole empty property: inside cupboards, drawers and appliances, kitchens degreased, bathrooms descaled, windows inside, skirting boards, doors and floors.
Tell us the property size, your move-out date and any extras, and Cambridge cleaning companies can send fixed-price quotes.
Some of the hardest water in the country
Cambridge sits on chalk, and its water is very hard. Limescale builds up fast on taps, shower heads, glass screens, tiles and inside kettles and toilets. For many Cambridge rentals, descaling the bathroom is the longest single task in the clean, and it's the first thing inventory clerks photograph.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Mill Road, Romsey, Chesterton and De Freville are often let to sharers and academic visitors. Newer developments – Eddington, Trumpington Meadows, Great Kneighton and the CB1 area near the station – have modern flats and townhouses with integrated appliances, glass and hard floors, often let to professionals.
Many tenancies follow the academic calendar or fixed-term research contracts, so moves cluster in summer and at the start of terms, often with international tenants leaving the country shortly after.
New-build lets and inventory detail
In new developments, the check-in inventory usually records a near-new condition, so agents expect integrated appliances, extractor filters, glass balustrades and window tracks to be spotless. Hard floors and skirting in new homes show dust and marks easily.
Townhouses over three floors take longer than flats of the same size because of the stairs, and companies usually quote accordingly.
Timing and access
Cycling city or not, cleaning teams usually arrive by van, and central Cambridge has limited parking. Mention parking options and building access when you ask for quotes. Book as early as you can for summer and end-of-month dates.
If you're leaving Cambridge immediately after, arrange key handover with the cleaning company or agent, and ask for photos of every room after the clean.

The East of England is one of the drier parts of the UK and much of it has hard water, so limescale build-up is a familiar job for cleaners in kitchens and bathrooms. Growing towns and new-build estates create steady demand for after builders and move-in cleans, alongside regular domestic cleaning for commuters.

Usually integrated appliances, extractor filters, glass, window tracks, skirting boards and hard floors, compared with a near-new inventory.

Many Cambridge companies will return keys to the agent and send photos afterwards if arranged in advance.

As early as possible for summer and end-of-month dates, which fill up first.
