A check-out standard clean for tenants, landlords and letting agents across Bristol. We work to the inventory, photograph the finish, and come back free if the agent flags anything we missed.
Not damage, not late rent — cleaning. A check-out inspection is done against the inventory photos taken the day you moved in, and an agent who finds grease in the oven or limescale on a shower screen will charge their own contractor's rate to put it right, usually well above what the clean would have cost you.
We clean to that inspection, not to a general idea of tidy. The items below are where deductions come from, and every one of them is on our standard end of tenancy checklist.
The single most charged-for item at check-out.
Bristol is a hard water area, so it builds fast.
Checked, opened and photographed every time.
The places a moving-day tidy never reaches.
Empty rooms show everything the sofa was hiding.
Written to agency and landlord standards, worked through room by room on an empty property. You get a copy before we start and the finished photos afterwards.
Carpets, upholstery or exterior windows needed as well? Tell us at the quote stage and we will price the whole job in one figure.
Add it to my quoteThe clean is the same standard every time. What changes is the paperwork, the timing and who we hand the keys to.
You have a date, a van and a landlord holding your deposit. We come in once the property is empty, work to the inventory, and send you the photos so you have your own record if the check-out report is ever disputed.
An empty property earns nothing. We turn it around quickly so it photographs well for the listing and the next tenant walks into something they will want to keep clean. Key collection by arrangement, no need for you to be there.
One contact, invoiced properly, working to your own check-in standard rather than ours if you send it across. We report back with photos per property so you are not driving across Bristol to verify a clean.
Move-out dates do not move, so we plan around yours rather than the other way round.
Bedrooms, bathrooms, your check-out date and whether the property will be empty. Send the inventory or agency checklist if you have one.
One written figure covering the whole checklist, with the date and access arrangements agreed. No hourly meter running on your deposit.
The team works top to bottom against the checklist, photographing each room as it is finished. You do not need to be there.
You get the room-by-room photo record for your own file, and the keys go back to whoever you nominate.
Send us the report and we return to put right anything on our checklist, at no cost to you. Because the checklist was agreed in writing beforehand and the finish was photographed, there is nothing to argue about either way. Fatiss cleaners are DBS-checked and we carry full public liability insurance.
What we cannot do is promise a landlord will return a deposit — that decision is theirs, and it covers damage, wear and rent as well as cleaning. What we can do is take cleaning off the list of reasons to withhold it.
One fixed figure agreed before we start, covering the full checklist and the oven. No hourly rate climbing while you wait for the van.
Check-out standard throughout an empty property — appliances, limescale, inside storage, skirting, interior glass and a photo record of the finish.
Final price confirmed after a free, no-obligation assessment.

Starting prices for properties in average condition. Carpet shampooing, upholstery and exterior windows are quoted at the assessment and included in your written price before you agree it. See the full price list or call 07933 059773 for a same-day quote.
After. A check-out clean is done on an empty property, because the inspection is done on an empty property — an agent will look inside wardrobes, behind where the sofa stood and under the bed. Book us for the day after the van leaves and before the keys go back.
The oven is included as standard — it is the item most often charged for at check-out, so we do not treat it as an extra. Carpet shampooing and extraction is a separate line because not every tenancy requires it; if your agreement or your agent asks for professionally cleaned carpets, tell us and we will price it into the same quote.
No cleaning company can promise that, and be careful of any that does — a deposit also covers damage, wear and unpaid rent, and the decision sits with your landlord or the deposit scheme. What we can do is take cleaning off the list of reasons to withhold it, give you photographs as your own evidence, and come back free if the check-out report flags something on our checklist.
From £140, or from £120 if you are already a regular Fatiss client. The final figure depends on the size and condition of the property and any extras such as carpets or exterior windows. You get one fixed written price after a free assessment, and it does not change unless the job does.
You do not need to be there. Most people leave a key with us, with a neighbour, or at the agency, and we arrange collection and drop-off in advance. Every cleaner is DBS-checked and we are fully insured.
Yes, and it helps. Send us the inventory, check-in report or agency cleaning standard when you book and we will work to that rather than our own list. Anything on it that we do not normally cover gets priced before we start, so there are no surprises on either side.
Usually yes. Move-out dates are fixed and often fall on a Friday or a weekend, so we keep slots back for them. Call rather than email if your date is within the next couple of days.
