End of tenancy cleaning in Leith — because your deposit belongs in your pocket
I have lost count of the Leith flats I have cleaned on moving-out day. Tenement flats off Leith Walk, new-builds down by the Shore, shared student places up around Pilrig and Bonnington. After a few years you learn the one thing they all have in common: the bits a tenant never thinks about are the first bits a letting agent checks.
Why your deposit is at risk in a Leith flat
Most of Leith is older tenement stock, and that is exactly where deposits quietly disappear. Ovens in these flats have often been roasting away for years, with grease baked into the door glass that a quick wipe will never touch. The sash-and-case windows have deep sills that collect dust nobody notices until inspection day. Limescale builds up on taps and shower screens long before you spot it.
Your letting agent knows all of this. They have a checklist, and it is longer than most tenants expect. When the flat does not match it, the cost comes straight out of your deposit — and in Leith that is often £300 or more.
The good news is that none of it has to be your problem. We handle end of tenancy cleaning across Edinburgh and clean to letting agent standard on every single job.
What I clean — the full picture
A once-over will not pass a Leith checkout. Here is everything we cover, room by room.

- All cupboards and drawers cleaned inside and out
- Sink and taps descaled and polished
- Worktops, splashbacks, and tiles scrubbed
- Dishwasher and washing machine seals and drums cleaned
Bathroom
- Toilet cleaned thoroughly, including behind the cistern and under the rim
- Shower, bath, and taps with every bit of limescale removed
- Tiles and grout scrubbed and rinsed
- Sink, mirror, and cabinet surfaces wiped down
- Extractor fan grilles cleaned
Bedrooms and living areas

FAQs about end of tenancy cleaning in Leith
How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost in Leith?
Our end of tenancy cleaning in Leith starts from £90 for a studio, £120 for a 1-bed, £150 for a 2-bed, and £180 for a 4-bed. Every price is fixed — no hourly rate and nothing added afterwards.
Do you clean older tenement flats?
All the time — most of Leith is tenement stock and it is what we know best. The aged ovens, the sash-and-case windows, the limescale and the deep sills are exactly the things we are set up to handle, and the things agents check first.
How long does an end of tenancy clean take?
It depends on the size and state of the flat — a studio is quicker, a larger shared flat takes a full team a good part of the day. Rather than run an hourly meter, we quote one fixed price and stay until every room meets letting agent standard.
Do tenants have to pay for professional cleaning at the end of a tenancy?
In Scotland, no landlord or letting agent can legally force you to use a specific cleaning company. But they can deduct from your deposit if the property is not returned in a satisfactory condition. We clean to the exact standard agents inspect against, so that does not happen.
Can you split the cost between flatmates?
Yes. Plenty of our Leith jobs are shared student flats. We give you one fixed price for the whole clean, and how you split it between flatmates is entirely up to you.
