End of tenancy cleaning in Marchmont — because your deposit belongs in your pocket
If you have lived in Marchmont, you already know the routine. The lease runs to the end of the academic year, half the street moves out in the same fortnight, and everyone is suddenly staring at a flat that has taken a full year of student life. I have cleaned dozens of these flats every summer, and the pattern never changes: the mess that built up slowly is the mess agents notice instantly.
Why student deposits go missing in Marchmont
Marchmont is wall-to-wall Victorian tenements, and most are let to students sharing four, five, or six to a flat. That mix is exactly where deposits slip away. A year of group cooking leaves an oven nobody wants to open. Those tall bay windows have sills and shutters that gather a year of dust. The ceiling roses and cornices everyone loves on viewing day are quietly collecting cobwebs by the time you leave.
Your letting agent inspects against a fixed checklist, and a shared student flat rarely matches it without help. When it does not, the deduction comes off the whole group’s deposit — and with several hundred pounds each on the line, that adds up fast.
It does not have to land on you. We handle end of tenancy cleaning across Edinburgh and clean to letting agent standard on every job.

FAQs about end of tenancy cleaning in Marchmont
How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost in Marchmont?
Our end of tenancy cleaning in Marchmont 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 shared student flats and HMOs?
Constantly — shared student flats are the bulk of what we clean in Marchmont. We are set up for the heavy oven, the year of bay-window dust and the worn kitchen that come with a flat that has housed five or six people, and we clean to the standard agents inspect against.
We move out in summer — can you still fit us in?
June and July are our busiest weeks in Marchmont, so the earlier you message the better. Send us your move-out date as soon as you have it and we will lock in a slot before the rush fills up.
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 flat is not returned in a satisfactory condition. We clean to the exact standard agents check against, so that does not happen.
Can you split the cost between flatmates?
Yes — this is how most Marchmont bookings work. We give you one fixed price for the whole flat, and how you divide it between flatmates is entirely up to you.
