End of Tenancy Cleaning in New Territories

Yes. End of tenancy crews arrive with professional products, oven-cleaning chemicals, and often steam or hot-water extraction machines. You only need to provide access, power, and running water.

A one-bedroom flat typically takes a two-person team 3-5 hours. A three-bedroom house can take 6-10 hours or a larger crew. The property should be empty of furniture and belongings for the fastest result.

If the carpets were professionally cleaned before you moved in, or your lease requires it, yes — keep the receipt. Otherwise vacuuming plus spot-cleaning to match the move-in condition is generally enough.

A full top-to-bottom clean of the empty property: inside the oven and appliances, inside cupboards, limescale removal, skirting boards, windows inside, and a deep clean of the bathroom and kitchen. Carpet steam cleaning is usually a paid extra.

Prices in New Territories depend on the size and condition of the property. Studios and one-bed flats sit at the low end, while three-bed houses with carpets and a neglected oven cost several times more. Get an itemised quote that states rooms, oven, and carpets separately.

Document everything: photos at move-in and move-out, a professional cleaning receipt, and attend the joint inspection. With no statutory deposit scheme, your leverage is evidence — the Small Claims Tribunal will look at the condition record.
