A specialist end of tenancy cleaning service built for letting agents and property managers. We follow the complete ARLA check-out inventory standard, deliver consistent landlord-standard results across all managed properties, and back every clean with a free 7-day reclean guarantee.
As a letting agent or property manager, end of tenancy cleaning sits at the most sensitive point of the tenancy cycle. A poor clean creates check-out disputes, delays re-letting, triggers deposit adjudication, and damages landlord relationships. A consistently excellent clean — one that passes first time, every time — removes all of that friction.
Cleaning Whizz is a family-owned cleaning business with over 31 years of experience working with letting agents, landlords and property managers across Birmingham and the wider Midlands. We understand the check-out process — we know what check-out clerks look for, what the TDS adjudicators consider, and what your landlord clients expect. We clean to that standard on every property, every time.
We clean to the exact specification of the ARLA standard check-out inventory used by letting agents across the UK. Every line item addressed on every clean.
Any issue raised within 7 days — by you, your landlord or the outgoing tenant — we return free. Protects against re-inspection and TDS disputes.
Same-day and next-day bookings available across all Birmingham postcodes. Vacant days cost your landlords money — we move fast.
B1 through B99. One company for your entire portfolio — consistent standard across every property regardless of location.
Every cleaner is fully DBS checked and covered by public liability insurance. Trusted with keys to vacant properties.
We answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Emergency cleans, same-day bookings, key handovers — we accommodate the realities of property management.
Every item below is covered on every end of tenancy clean we carry out. This is the same checklist your check-out clerk will use — and every item is addressed before we leave the property. You can share this checklist with outgoing tenants so they understand exactly what standard is required.
Items marked ✅ are always included as standard. Items marked 📌 are available on request — confirm at booking.

We recommend sharing this page URL with outgoing tenants at the start of their notice period. Understanding exactly what the check-out inventory covers — and what commonly fails — either motivates tenants to prepare properly or helps them make an informed decision to instruct a professional cleaner.
Either outcome protects your landlord’s property and reduces the likelihood of a deposit dispute. If tenants choose to use Cleaning Whizz, our 7-day guarantee covers any concern raised at check-out — removing it from your caseload entirely.
This page contains the complete checklist and allows tenants to book directly — removing the admin from your team.
