Homeowner project request
End of Tenancy Cleaning quotes in Ireland
Request a move-out or deep cleaning quote with the property size, condition and required finish made clear. Say whether the home will be empty, partly furnished or still occupied and whether you need access between a removal date and key handover. A useful brief allows businesses to price the actual work instead of assuming every two-bedroom property needs the same cleaning.
You post the job. Interested independent businesses may respond. You choose whether to hire; responses and availability are not guaranteed.
Define the work you want priced
This page concerns a defined one-off clean, not a guarantee about a tenancy deposit or a landlord's inspection. Ask for the cleaning checklist, exclusions and any return-visit policy. Carpet treatment, upholstery, exterior windows, waste clearance and hazardous material may be separate services and should not be assumed to come with an advertised deep-clean package.
Rooms and property condition
List bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas and relevant extras such as a utility room. Describe heavy grease, limescale, pet hair or prolonged lack of cleaning honestly without overstating the business's ability to remove every stain. Photos can help, but remove personal paperwork and keep identifying information out of the public request.
Kitchen and appliances
Identify the oven, fridge, freezer, extractor and cupboards you want cleaned inside as well as outside. Ask whether appliances need to be empty, defrosted or otherwise prepared. Moving built-in or heavy equipment, disconnecting services and repairing damaged seals are not automatically cleaning tasks and should not be requested without appropriate assessment.
Specialist finishes and access
Mention carpets, upholstery, delicate surfaces and hard-to-reach windows. Ask which products or methods are suitable for the actual materials and which areas cannot be covered. Confirm water, electricity, parking, key arrangements and access hours so the team does not arrive to an inaccessible property without the services needed for the agreed work.
What to include in your request
- List rooms, approximate size, furnishing level and the particular areas needing extra attention.
- Identify appliances and inside-cupboard cleaning, carpet treatment and windows as separate requirements.
- Explain the move-out date, available access window and key handover deadline without posting security details.
- Ask what must be removed or prepared beforehand and disclose hazards privately before attendance.
Keep personal contact details out of descriptions and photos. Add them only in the dedicated contact fields when posting.
Compare the complete quote
Give each business the same project information. Check the total and what is included, excluded or provisional before choosing a proposal.
- Written cleaning checklist
- Compare the exact surfaces, rooms and appliance tasks included. Ask how condition affects the scope and whether the quote is fixed after assessment or based on a time allowance. Two businesses can use the phrase deep clean while offering substantially different work and finishing expectations.
- Extras and exclusions
- Identify carpet or upholstery treatment, exterior glass, waste removal, specialist contamination and areas requiring equipment or additional people. Ask about limitations on stain removal or restoration of damaged surfaces. Cleaning can improve condition without repairing worn finishes, broken fittings or permanent discolouration.
- Attendance and follow-up
- Check materials, equipment, travel, parking and VAT where applicable. Ask what happens if access, utilities or property condition differ from the agreed brief. Record any inspection or return-visit policy and its time limit, rather than interpreting a satisfaction statement as an unlimited promise to meet another party's requirements.
Agree the sequence before booking
Arrange removals, rubbish clearance and repair work before the final clean where possible. Give the business accurate photos and a checklist and confirm whether furniture will remain. Coordinate the appointment with any check-out inspection, allowing time to identify an issue without promising that an arbitrary short gap will be enough for every property.
Agree secure access and who checks the completed work. Do not publish key-safe codes, vacant-property dates with exact addresses or other access information in the public description. If the business identifies a hazard or task outside normal cleaning, agree the appropriate specialist or revised scope before work continues.
At handover
- Review the agreed checklist and record any excluded or incomplete areas with the cleaner.
- Keep the invoice and the written terms for any return visit or concern.
- Check appliances and surfaces under the business's care instructions before handing over keys.
End of Tenancy Cleaning: your questions answered
Does a move-out clean guarantee my deposit will be returned?
No. Deposit decisions can involve matters beyond cleaning, and HomePros does not determine tenancy disputes. Ask for a written cleaning scope and keep completion records. Any business guarantee should be read for its actual terms, exclusions and process rather than interpreted as a deposit promise.
Are ovens and fridge interiors included?
Ask specifically. Some packages treat these as extras or require the appliance to be empty and prepared beforehand. Identify each appliance and the work wanted, including extractor filters or cupboards, so a basic kitchen surface clean is not mistaken for full appliance detailing.
Does deep cleaning include carpet washing?
Not necessarily. Carpet and upholstery treatment may use different equipment and have separate prices and drying instructions. List the rooms and materials and ask what can be assessed before booking. Do not assume a standard vacuum or deep-clean label includes specialist stain treatment.
Should the house be empty before the cleaners arrive?
Explain whether it will be empty and agree the arrangement. Furniture and belongings affect access and the scope that can be completed. Ask whether removal of remaining items is offered or must be arranged separately; a cleaning appointment is not automatically a clearance service.
Can I book immediately before the inspection?
Discuss the actual access window and expected work with the business. Confirm key collection, utilities and the completion check. Leave realistic room for delays or an agreed follow-up rather than assuming every property can be cleaned and inspected within the same short slot.
Can cleaners remove every mould patch or stain?
No universal result should be promised. Describe the issue and ask whether it is ordinary cleaning, permanent damage or a problem needing specialist assessment. Cleaning a visible patch does not establish that an underlying moisture or building defect has been resolved.
