Cardiff has a large, busy rental market for a city its size, with thousands of students in Cathays and Roath, young professionals in Cardiff Bay and the centre, and families renting in Canton, Llandaff and the northern suburbs. At the end of every tenancy, the property is compared with the inventory – and the cleaning standard matters.
A professional end of tenancy clean covers the empty property from top to bottom: inside every cupboard and appliance, kitchens degreased, bathrooms cleaned, windows inside, skirting boards, doors and floors.
Tell us the size of your property, your move-out date and whether you need the oven, carpets or garden tidied, and Cardiff cleaning companies can send fixed-price quotes.
Cathays terraces and Bay flats
Cathays and Roath are full of Victorian and Edwardian terraces let to students, often with five or six bedrooms, a shared kitchen and one or two bathrooms. They're typically vacated at the end of June, and the state of the kitchen and carpets is what inventory clerks focus on.
Cardiff Bay, the city centre and new developments around Central Square are mostly flats with integrated appliances, glass balconies and large windows. Canton, Pontcanna, Llandaff and Whitchurch have more family houses on longer tenancies, where there's more build-up in ovens and on carpets.
Cardiff's water is relatively soft, so limescale is usually manageable. Damp and mould in older terraces, particularly in rear bathrooms and bedrooms, are more common check-out issues.
Renting in Wales: occupation contracts
Since December 2022, most tenancies in Wales are occupation contracts under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, and tenants are called contract-holders. Landlords still compare the property's condition at the end with the start, and deposits must still be protected with an approved scheme.
Welsh rules also limit the fees landlords can charge, including charges for professional cleaning. You must return the property as clean as it was, but you can do that yourself or choose your own cleaner. Many people book a professional clean because it's the most reliable way to match a professionally cleaned check-in.
Planning around the summer rush
With Cardiff University, Cardiff Met and the University of South Wales all in the city, late June is extremely busy. Book early, agree a date with housemates and book one clean for the whole house.
Remember outside areas. Back yards and bin storage are part of many Cathays tenancies, and rubbish left out is a frequent deduction. Ask whether the cleaning company can include it or arrange a waste collection separately.

Terraced streets, student housing in Cardiff and Swansea and holiday lets along the coast all shape local demand, from end of tenancy cleans to changeover cleaning.
