New-build flat cleaned to spec
Ancoats apartment — one of those modern blocks with a managing agent who goes over everything with a fine-tooth comb. Team knew what they were doing from the start. Asked for the inventory addendum I'd forwarded, used it as their checklist. Passed with zero issues.
Victorian semi, 4 years of tenancy, spotless
Big property in Didsbury — previous tenants (me included) hadn't exactly kept on top of things. Team of three, worked for the better part of a day. Oven was genuinely grim. They did it as an add-on and it came out looking new. Landlord was happy.
Good job, quote was a bit over what I expected
MediaCity flat, nice building. The cleaning itself was excellent — professional team, all their own kit, proper job on the kitchen and bathrooms. Final price came in a bit higher than the initial estimate once they'd seen the oven. Would've liked that flagged earlier. But quality was there.
Chorlton house, passed inspection first time
Rented a 3-bed in Chorlton for 2 years. Worried about the carpets in particular — dog was allowed under the tenancy. They steam-cleaned all three bedrooms. No pet smell left. Landlord did the checkout the day after, nothing flagged. Full deposit returned.
City centre flat done quickly
Piccadilly-area flat, 18 months. Not a massive job but needed doing properly. One cleaner, about 3 hours. Everything covered including inside the kitchen drawers and the bathroom extractor. Quick turnaround, no hassle, deposit back.
Decent-sized house, great result
Three-bed in Levenshulme, 3 years in. Hadn't been deep cleaned the whole time honestly. Kitchen took a while. Bathrooms had serious limescale. They worked through all of it. Checked back in at the end — all done. No follow-up needed from the landlord.
Thorough clean, minor scheduling mix-up
The original slot had to be moved last minute — bit stressful when you've got a checkout deadline. But they found another time within 24 hours and the actual clean was thorough. Kitchen and bathroom both done properly. Deposit returned without dispute.
Student house end of tenancy
Five-person student house near Fallowfield. Not pretty inside by the end of the year. They sent three cleaners and got it done in a day. Cooker, carpets, bathrooms — the works. Landlord was expecting to make deductions apparently. Didn't get to.
Family house end of tenancy — smooth
4-bed in Sale, family renting for 5 years. Big job. They quoted accurately, turned up with the right number of people, and got it done in a day. All rooms, two bathrooms, conservatory, garden door wiped down. Nothing disputed on checkout.
Quick quote, good team
Had a quote within a few hours of enquiring, booked in for the next available slot. Stretford flat, 2 beds. Team was punctual, friendly, did a proper job. I checked behind the radiators — even those were clean. Satisfied.
Stockport house, stress-free checkout
Semi-detached in Stockport, 18 months. Worried about the kitchen tiles — years of cooking residue. Team used the right products, no damage, tiles looked factory-clean. Agent confirmed no cleaning charges on the deposit return. Genuinely impressed.
Large house done well, slight overage on time
4-bed in Whalley Range. Team was professional and thorough — I'm not complaining about quality at all. Just took about 90 minutes longer than quoted, which pushed into the afternoon when my landlord was due. They did communicate when they realised they were running behind. Deposit returned in full.
Northern Quarter flat, quick and clean
One-bed apartment near Piccadilly. Cast iron radiators and wooden skirting you can't reach properly. They got behind everything. Checkout the next morning, nothing flagged.
Salford flat, passed inspection
First-floor flat near the station. Oven had 18 months of buildup. Add-on was worth it — looked factory-new when finished. Managing agent noted it on the checkout form as one of the cleaner ones they'd seen.
Victorian terrace in Altrincham, solid
Older house, high ceilings and original cornicing that collects dust. Thorough on the main rooms. They didn't do inside the airing cupboard — which was on the inventory. I asked, they did it without complaint. Deposit returned.
Old Trafford flat, good result
Renting near the stadium for three years. Bathroom needed real work — hard water stains on the shower glass and mould in the corner of the ceiling. All dealt with. Landlord didn't raise it.
Bolton house, decent clean, ran over time
Three-bed family place. Team was thorough but it took about two hours longer than quoted because the oven was genuinely grim. Would've liked a heads up when they realised it was going to take longer. Deposit back in full.
Bury semi, end of tenancy sorted
Semi-detached, three years. Carpets, bathroom, kitchen. Brought their own equipment. Finished early afternoon, landlord came round that evening. Signed off on the spot.
Terraced house in Oldham, all good
Two-bed terrace, 2 years. Kitchen tiles were the main problem — years of cooking splatter. They used the right products and it came off without damaging the grout. Nothing deducted.
Rochdale house, one missed spot
Two bathrooms. Both cleaned properly apart from a shelf unit in the second bathroom that got missed. I noticed during the walkthrough and they came back in and sorted it. Deposit returned without deductions.
Wigan house, stress-free
3-bed, two years. Carpets in the hallway had a lot of foot traffic. Steam-cleaned them and you could see the difference immediately. Landlord said nothing about it at checkout.
Quick turnaround in Ashton
Flat in Ashton-under-Lyne, one bedroom, 3 days' notice. They fitted me in. Oven, bathroom, kitchen surfaces, done properly. No deductions.
Flat in Eccles, nothing to complain about
Ground floor flat, 18 months. Shower tray had gone discoloured and the screen had hard water marks. All sorted. About 3 hours. Deposit back within a week.
Ashton house, good clean, slow initial reply
Two-bed house. The clean itself was good — bathroom tiles, kitchen, inside the oven. I had to wait almost a day for a response to my booking enquiry. Once they confirmed it, everything went smoothly. Deposit returned.
MediaCityUK flat, passed checkout
One of the newer apartment blocks near the BBC buildings. Managing agent had a detailed inventory. Team asked to see it before they started, went through room by room. Nothing raised on checkout, deposit back in 5 days.
Victorian semi, deposit back in full
Big old semi off Wilmslow Road, three years. Hard water had furred the shower screen and taps. They got it back to clear. Original tiled fireplace dusted out properly too. Landlord deducted nothing.
Good clean, parking tight in East Didsbury
Narrow road, the van had to sit further down so the start dragged. Once on it they were thorough, oven and carpet add-ons both good. One stair carpet edge missed, flagged, sorted. Deposit back.
Shared house, all our deposits back
Four of us in an Edwardian terrace, professional share, the kitchen had taken serious abuse. Two cleaners most of a day. Oven looked new. Every one of us got the full deposit.
Solid, lockbox handover worked well
Left a key in a lockbox, mentioned it in the quote, no problems. Side streets parked solid as usual. Bathroom scale dealt with. They ran slightly over but stayed to finish. Deposit returned.
Quays apartment, guest-ready
Two-bed we let short-term near the Quays. Floor-to-ceiling glass that shows every mark and hard-water spots on the kitchen surfaces. They turned it around between guests in half a day.
Older terrace off Eccles Road, good job
Two-up two-down, three years renting. Behind the cooker and fridge had clearly never been done. They got into it. One bathroom joint still marked. Honest about it. Deposit returned in full.
Heaton Moor semi, strict landlord
Three-bed, eight years, landlord does his own checkout with a list. They cleaned with the inventory open. He went through it line by line and signed off there and then.
Edgeley terrace, decent value
Cheapest of three quotes, did wonder. Needn't have. Old kitchen with years of grease, they got it back. Hallway carpet still faintly marked. Got the deposit back anyway.
1930s semi, no deductions
Family house, four years, two kids. Older kitchen and bathroom with tile grout that needed work. Carpet on the stairs steam-cleaned. Landlord checked and returned the full deposit.
Good clean, conservatory rushed
Three-bed, post-war semi. House itself excellent. The conservatory had been done quickly and I asked for a second pass. They did it without quibble. Deposit back, no cleaning charge.
City-centre apartment, clean checkout
High floor, fob entry, concierge to register with, all sorted in advance. Frameless shower scaled fast off the hard water. They cleared it. Agent went through the inventory, nothing flagged.
Northern edge flat, good but late
Loading restricted, they took an early slot which mostly worked but still started behind. Open-plan kitchen-living, extractor caked. Came up well. Deposit back minus a pre-existing mark.
Short-let turnaround, consistent
We run a flat here on short lets and needed a reliable per-visit reset. Frameless glass and stone worktops every time. They keep it consistent. One turnaround ran late but they flagged it early.
Two-bed, managed block, no issues
Visitor parking and key handover to arrange, told them upfront and it was smooth. Open-plan space with a lot of glass. Streak-free finish. Managing agent had nothing to raise.
Terrace near the centre, deposit back
Two of us sharing, picky landlord. They cleaned behind the cooker and fridge, which is where it always goes wrong. Three years of grease gone. Nothing flagged at checkout.
Probate house, respectful and thorough
My dad's old house, needed presentable for the agent's photos. They were considerate about it. Ran a bit over on the kitchen, were honest why. Made a hard week easier.
Three-bed semi, clean checkout
Family home, five years. Carpets through the hall and stairs were the worry. Steam clean lifted marks I'd given up on. Landlord did the inspection and returned everything.
Decent job, slow to confirm
Had to chase the day before to confirm the slot. Once that was sorted they turned up on time. Two-bed terrace, kitchen and bathroom both proper. Deposit returned in full.
Move-out clean, no notes
Three-bed, two years. Hallway carpets steam-cleaned, you could see the difference. Kitchen degreased properly. Landlord said nothing at checkout, which is exactly what you want.
First time paying for this, good value
Always done end of tenancy myself before. Two-bed terrace. The clean was well worth it, oven especially. One cupboard interior missed, flagged, done same visit. Deposit back.
Hale border, four-bed, sorted
Detached, two bathrooms and an en-suite, a lot of limescale on the glass screens. They had it all sharp. The check-in clerk actually commented on how clean it was at the next let.
Terrace, thorough, airing cupboard missed
Original cornicing that holds dust everywhere, they got it. Missed the airing cupboard, which was on the inventory. Asked, they did it without complaint. Deposit returned in full.
Old terrace, end of tenancy, deposit back
Tired two-bed, hard water and years of kitchen grease. They got it back further than I expected. Letting agent went through it the next morning and raised nothing.
Good clean, ran over on the oven
Three-bed. The oven was worse than I'd let on and it pushed the time. They were upfront rather than rushing. Result was very good. No cleaning deductions at the checkout.
Move-in clean before the furniture
Bought a place left in a state. Wanted it done before our things went in. They did the lot in a day, including inside the cupboards. Started unpacking into a clean house.
Solid end of tenancy, parking slowed start
Terraced street, nowhere for the van near the door. They ferried the kit and didn't rush to make the time back. Kitchen and bathroom both proper. Deposit returned in full.
Terrace, three years, clean checkout
Old house, kids, carpets had taken a beating. Steam clean brought them back. Bathroom scale off the hard water dealt with. Landlord returned the full deposit, no argument.
Decent value, one room needed redoing
Cheapest quote I got. Mostly good for it. The back bedroom skirting hadn't been touched. Sent a photo, they came back next morning and did it. Deposit back, fair enough.
Semi, end of tenancy, no issues
Three-bed, two years. Straightforward booking, clear quote, on time. Oven inside and out, bathrooms descaled, carpets through. Agent signed off without a single note.
Good job, communication could be better
The clean was very good, no complaints there. Just had to chase the confirmation the day before, which is stressful before a checkout. Once booked it went fine. Deposit returned.
Stretford-side semi, deposit back
Family house, six years, a dog. The stair and landing carpet was my worry. Steam-cleaned and you genuinely couldn't tell. Landlord checked and returned the whole deposit.
Thorough, slightly over the quote
Four-bed, two bathrooms. The oven and utility took longer than allowed. They were honest about why rather than cutting corners. Result was excellent. Full deposit returned.
Terrace, quick turnaround, sorted
Booked Monday, cleaned Wednesday. Two-bed, two years. Kitchen degreased, bathroom descaled, carpets hoovered through. Letting agent had nothing to flag at the checkout.
Good standard, late start
Three-bed. They were about 40 minutes behind and didn't ring ahead, which mattered with an agent coming. Once on it the work was thorough. Cut close but the deposit came back in full.
