One quote for the whole house

A standard three-bedroom house is £269 for the end of tenancy clean, or £324 with oven interior cleaning. Shared equally by three housemates, the end of tenancy clean is £89.67 each. Those figures cover the whole property, including shared rooms; other extras and non-standard properties need confirmation.

How it works for a shared house

One clean, split between the house.

You book one clean for the whole property at one fixed price, then split it however you like between housemates. Most houses just divide it by the number of tenants. We clean every bedroom, every bathroom, the kitchen and all the shared space to checkout standard.

In a student let the shared kitchen and the ovens take the most work, so that is where we start, with oven interiors as an add-on from £55. It is where the checkout is won or lost.

  • One fixed price for the whole house, split it any way you like
  • 3-bed house £269: about £90 each between three housemates
  • 4-bed house £309: about £77 each between four
  • 5+ bedrooms from £359: about £72 each between five
  • Every bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and shared space cleaned
  • Report within 72 hours of completion and we return to put it right, free

When half the house has already left

Keys, parents, and housemates who've gone home.

By checkout week, half the house has usually gone home already. That's fine. One housemate books, we sort access with whoever still holds a key, or directly with the letting agent, and the whole house gets the same timestamped photo record of the finished clean.

Parents can book and pay on the house's behalf. We confirm the fixed price in writing before the clean and send the itemised receipt after, so the paperwork is clean for whoever paid, and ready for the deposit scheme if the agent tries a deduction.

  • One housemate or a parent books for the whole house
  • Key collection from a housemate, a neighbour or the agent
  • Photo record shared with the house, receipt to whoever paid

The student checkout

What agents check in a student let.

Student houses get a detailed checkout, especially where the landlord supplied a photo-heavy inventory. After a year of a full house, the grime builds up in the places a quick tidy misses.

The usual focus points are the ovens, the shared bathrooms, bedroom skirting boards and window tracks, and any garden or yard on the inventory. We clean to the inventory, the same document your agent marks against.

Timing and cost

Book ahead for the summer rush.

Manchester student moves run from late June right through September, and Fallowfield (M14) and Withington (M20) slots go first. Book as soon as your checkout date is set. Pricing starts at £155 for a studio and rises up the ladder by number of bedrooms.

A thorough vacuum is included. If the carpets are stained after a long tenancy, add carpet shampooing to the quote.

Sage Cleans Manchester did an amazing job with my end-of-tenancy clean. The team was friendly, arrived on time, and left the place spotless – even the little details were taken care of.

End-of-tenancy

★★★★★

Sage Cleans did an excellent job for our end of tenancy clean. They were very prompt with replying to messages, in the lead up to the clean and on the day. The team ran out of time before our tenancy was up, but Hugh went above and beyond to make this right and finish the clean to the landlady’s standards. I really appreciated that during the stress of a move!

Move out

★★★★★

We recently hired Sage Cleans for a deep clean of our home before moving-in, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the beginning, Hugh was incredibly helpful and accommodating—he managed to fit us in on very short notice, which we truly appreciated. The team did an outstanding job. Every corner of the house was spotless, and their attention to detail really stood out. It’s clear they take pride in their work. On top of the excellent service, their pricing was very reasonable - Hugh gave us a discounted price based on the areas we needed to be focussed on. We’ll definitely be using them again and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a thorough, professional clean.

Due to a recent procudure my post operation care plan does not permit any form of lifting etc for 6 weeks. I contacted Hugh at Sage Cleaning. He visited our home the same afternoon to explain the service and options available. Today was the first clean. My wife and I are extremely satisfied with Maria who did an excellent, thorough job. She focussed kn the kitchen, bathroom and both upstairs and downstair toilets. It lovely to have our home gleaming. Our neighbour came round and immediately contacted Hugh for a cleaning service for her elderly mother. Thank you Sage EdS

Sage cleans have been amazing from start to finish. Really easy booking process, Hugh is incredibly helpful and my designated regular cleaner Malwina has been the best. Trustworthy, professional and most importantly leaves an excellent, clean and tidy home which is so nice to come home from work too. I would recommend this company to anyone who wants a stress free cleaning experience.

I used Sage Cleans to clean the rooms in my flat and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They did a fantastic job — professional, thorough, and reliable. What really stood out to me was their integrity and how seriously they take responsibility. When my letting agency had an issue with part of the cleaning, Hugh sent a team back to sort it out right away. That level of care and accountability is rare to find. Trustworthy people and excellent service — highly recommended!

I was let down last minute for a cleaner and luckily came across Sage. I spoke to Hugh and explained the situation and he managed to get a cleaner to me on that same day. The cleaner did a fantastic job and she was very polite, and Hugh kept me updated with times and also checked we were happy with the clean after. I was extremely grateful Hugh did what he could and was able to fit me in such last minute. I'll now be having regular fortnightly cleans!

FAQ

Student cleaning questions

What student houses ask before they book.

Can we split the cost between housemates?

Yes. You book one clean for the whole house at one fixed price, then split it however you like. Most houses divide it by the number of tenants.

How much is it for a student house?

It depends on the number of bedrooms. A 3-bed house is £269 (about £90 each between three housemates), a 4-bed is £309 (about £77 each), and 5+ bedrooms start at £359 (about £72 each between five). Tell us the property and we will give you a fixed quote.

Half our house has already moved home. Can we still book?

Yes, this is normal for student checkouts. One housemate or a parent books, we arrange key collection with whoever still has access or with the letting agent, and everyone gets the same photo record of the finished clean.

Can a parent book and pay?

Yes. Parents book student cleans all the time. We confirm the fixed price in writing before the job and send the itemised receipt to whoever paid.

Do you clean HMOs and shared houses?

Yes, it is a big part of what we do in Manchester. Shared kitchens and bathrooms in an HMO take the most work, and that is where a student checkout is won or lost.

Do carpets cost extra?

A thorough vacuum is included. Carpet shampooing is an optional add-on when deeper cleaning is needed to restore the check-in standard. A tenancy clause cannot require you to hire a professional cleaner; reasonable deductions for returning dirty carpets are a separate matter.

When should we book?

As early as you can. Manchester student moves cluster at the end of June and July, and the good slots go first.

Will we get our deposit back?

We clean to the inventory standard the agent checks against, and back it with a 72-hour re-clean guarantee. The government's 2024 landlord survey found that 59% of landlords who withheld deposit money cited cleaning. Book the work before handover and keep the cleaning photos and receipt.
