Move In / Move Out Cleaning in Swansea — Everything You Need to Know
Moving home is stressful enough. Let Swansea Cleaning Services handle the cleaning so you can focus on everything else.
Moving is Stressful — Cleaning Doesn't Have to Be
Whether you're a tenant hoping to get your full deposit back, a landlord preparing a property for new occupants, or a homeowner moving into a new house, one thing is certain — the property needs to be spotlessly clean. Move in and move out cleaning is one of the most in-demand cleaning services in Swansea, and for good reason.
A professional move out clean gives tenants the best possible chance of recovering their full deposit, while a thorough move in clean ensures you're starting life in your new home with a genuinely fresh, hygienic space — not someone else's dirt. At Swansea Cleaning Services, we specialise in exactly this, delivering meticulous cleans that meet even the strictest landlord and letting agent standards.
"The number one reason tenants lose part of their deposit is cleaning. A professional clean costs far less than the deduction — and we guarantee the results."

💡 Landlord Inspection Ready
Our move out clean is carried out to the standard expected by letting agents and landlords across Swansea. We know exactly what they look for — and we make sure nothing is missed. Many of our clients receive their full deposit back after booking with us.
Move In Cleaning — Start Fresh in Your New Home
Even if a property has been professionally cleaned before you move in, you may still want the reassurance of your own clean before you unpack. A move in clean gives you complete confidence that your new home is hygienic, fresh and truly ready for your family.
It's also an ideal opportunity to tackle areas you might not have easy access to once furniture is in place — inside kitchen cupboards, the backs of wardrobes, under the bath, and behind radiators. Our team works efficiently so your home is ready before your belongings arrive.
How Much Does Move Out Cleaning Cost in Swansea?
The cost of a professional move out clean in Swansea depends on the size of the property and its condition. As a general guide:
- Studio or one-bedroom flat — typically a half-day clean
- Two-bedroom property — typically a full day
- Three to four-bedroom house — typically one to two days
- Larger properties — priced on assessment
We always provide a transparent, no-obligation quote before any work begins. There are no hidden charges — the price you're quoted is the price you pay. And when you consider the cost of a potential deposit deduction, a professional clean is almost always the more cost-effective choice.
"Losing even part of a deposit over cleaning is entirely avoidable. Our move out clean costs a fraction of what landlords typically deduct — and we get it right first time."
Tips for Getting Your Full Deposit Back
Beyond booking a professional clean, here are a few additional steps that can help ensure a smooth checkout and full deposit return:
- Request a copy of the check-in inventory and use it as your cleaning guide
- Take dated photos after the clean as evidence of condition
- Report any pre-existing damage in writing before you move out
- Ensure all personal belongings are removed before the clean begins
- Book the clean as close to your move-out date as possible
- Allow access for a re-clean if any issues are flagged at inspection

Move In / Move Out Cleaning FAQs
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly at busy times of year such as the end of August and September when many tenancies turn over. However, we do our best to accommodate last-minute bookings where we can — get in touch and we'll let you know our availability.
Do I need to be present during the clean?
Not at all. Many clients simply hand over the keys and collect them once the clean is complete. Our team is fully vetted and insured, so you can leave us to get on with the job.
What if the letting agent isn't satisfied?
In the unlikely event that your letting agent or landlord flags an issue with the clean, contact us within 48 hours and we'll return to address it at no extra cost.
Do you clean furnished and unfurnished properties?
Yes — we can clean both. For furnished properties, we clean around and beneath furniture. For unfurnished properties, we're able to access every area for a truly thorough result.
Can you clean carpets as part of the move out clean?
Yes. Professional carpet cleaning can be added to any move out clean package. This is often specifically requested by landlords and letting agents, and we can arrange it as part of the same visit.
Do you cover the whole of Swansea?
Yes — we cover Swansea city centre and all surrounding areas including Sketty, Uplands, Morriston, Llansamlet, Gowerton, Mumbles, Port Talbot and the wider Swansea Bay region.
