Ascot lets range from the large late-Victorian and Edwardian houses of North Ascot, set in generous grounds near the racecourse, to the 1970s and 1980s homes of the Gainsborough Drive estate and the new streets going up on the old Heatherwood Hospital site.
We clean all of them at the end of a tenancy for a fixed price, from £156 for a studio to £425 for a four-bedroom home, and larger houses are quoted from the room count.

Renting here costs a lot. Ascot ranks among the ten most expensive towns in Britain to rent in, so the deposit riding on a check-out is usually a large sum, and the clerk’s report gets read closely by the landlord, the agent and, if it comes to a dispute, the deposit scheme.
The town has three parts: Ascot itself, North Ascot and South Ascot. Ascot and South Ascot sit in the civil parish of Sunninghill and Ascot, which they share with Sunninghill village to the east.
The biggest change to the housing is at Heatherwood. Frimley Health opened the new Heatherwood Hospital on 28 March 2022, built on woodland behind the old buildings, and the old site has permission for 230 homes by Taylor Wimpey: 123 flats, mostly one and two bedrooms, and 107 houses, most of them with three bedrooms.
A new-build let is usually inventoried when everything in it is days old. The clean has to bring that condition back, and the things that show in check-out photos are small ones: dust in window tracks and on top of door frames, a film on new glass, grey marks on matt paint around light switches.
In the older North Ascot houses the extra hours go on rooms a small home does not have: a second and third bathroom, a utility room, conservatory glass, long runs of skirting and picture rail. That is why anything above four bedrooms is priced from the room count after a short call.
Two councils across SL5
Ascot, South Ascot and a small slice of North Ascot are in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. Most of North Ascot is in Bracknell Forest, in the same parish as Winkfield village. The postcode is the same either side of the line, but the housing team you would deal with is different.
Both councils license houses in multiple occupation under the national rules, which apply to a home shared by five or more people from two or more households. Neither council’s pages for private renters list a selective licensing scheme, so a family renting a house here normally needs no licence of its own.
In Bracknell Forest, HMO licensing is run by the Public Protection Partnership, a regulatory service the council shares with neighbouring Berkshire councils. On the Royal Borough side it sits with the council’s houses in multiple occupation team.
Licensing is the landlord’s job. It has no effect on the standard your clean is judged against, which is the check-in report.
Royal Ascot week: road closures and timing
Race days change how the town moves. Royal Ascot ran from 16 to 20 June 2026, and the traffic plan the racecourse agreed with the Royal Borough, Bracknell Forest and Thames Valley Police set out what that meant for anyone working locally that week:
- a residents-only closure at the top of Burleigh Road, where it meets Kennel Avenue, during the morning arrivals
- parking restrictions on parts of Cheapside Road, from the Watersplash Lane junction to the village hall
- a 20mph limit on the High Street, with coaches barred between the Station Hill and Heatherwood roundabouts
- race traffic arriving from roughly 10:30 to 13:30 and leaving from roughly 17:30 to 20:30
Sunninghill and Ascot Parish Council published the 2026 plan about three weeks before the meeting. If your check-out falls in race week, tell us when you book. We can start early enough to be parked and working before the arrival window, or move the clean to a day without racing if your agent’s dates allow it.
Ascot station is where the Waterloo to Reading line meets the branch to Ash Vale, and South Western Railway runs trains from it to Waterloo, Reading, Bagshot, Aldershot and Guildford.
End of tenancy cleaning prices in Ascot
Prices are fixed by the number of bedrooms and cover the whole 57-point checklist. The online price calculator at the top of this page uses the same figures and adds any extras you choose.
| Property | Price |
|---|---|
| Studio | £156 |
| One-bedroom flat or house | £207 |
| Two bedrooms | £243 |
| Three bedrooms | £339 |
| Four bedrooms | £425 |
| Five bedrooms or more | Quoted from the room count |
Booked with the clean, the extras cost less than they do on their own:
- Oven: £31 for a single or single wide oven, £62 for a double oven or a 90cm range. Booked on its own, an oven clean is £77 for a single, £110 for a double, £114 for a single wide oven and £143 for a 90cm range cooker.
- Carpets: £29 a bedroom, £36 a living room, £47 a through lounge, £35 a flight of stairs, £20 a hallway and £8 a landing.
Part jobs and unusual layouts, such as a self-contained annexe cleaned on its own, go by the hour at £30 per cleaner. Parking is added only where a job needs a paid bay, at what it costs us.
What the clean covers
Every clean follows our 57-point checklist, and it starts where most deductions start, in the kitchen. The team cleans every cupboard and drawer inside and out, the hob, the splashback, the extractor hood and its filter, the sink and taps, and the fridge and freezer, which need to be switched off and defrosted before we arrive. Appliances that pull out are moved so the floor and wall behind them get done too.
If you add the oven, the racks, trays and other removable parts are soaked separately, and the cavity, the door glass and the seals are cleaned by hand, normally in the kitchen. The inner door glass is cleaned where the door design allows.
SL5 is supplied by Affinity Water, and almost the whole postcode sits in its Bagshot and Sunninghill supply zone, where the published hardness is about 285 mg/l. That counts as hard water.
It leaves white scale on shower screens, taps, shower heads and around the base of the toilet, so every bathroom and en-suite is descaled, the grout and sealant cleaned, extractor grilles wiped and mirrors polished. The guest en-suite nobody used gets the same treatment as the main bathroom, because the clerk opens that door too.
Through the rest of the house the list covers skirting boards, doors and frames, light switches and sockets, radiators, window sills and the inside of the glass, built-in wardrobes inside and out, and floors vacuumed and mopped. Carpets are vacuumed as standard. A full carpet clean is the add-on described on our carpet cleaning page, and the oven cleaning page explains the oven work in more detail.
Please leave the water and electricity on. The team works from the property’s own supply. Our cleaners are vetted and interviewed in person, insured, and trained on the checklist they work to.
Deposit rules at check-out
Your landlord or agent has 30 days to put your deposit into one of the three government-backed schemes, and once you both agree what comes back, it has to be returned within 10 days. The cap depends on the rent: up to five weeks’ rent where the annual rent is below £50,000, and up to six weeks’ where it is between £50,000 and £100,000. On a house let above the first threshold, six weeks’ rent can be held.
At the end of the tenancy the clerk compares the home with the check-in report. Fair wear and tear is not chargeable. Grease, dust and limescale are. If the letting agent or clerk flags anything on our checklist, tell us within 48 hours and we come back and re-clean it free of charge.
More than 300 letting agents work with us, and since 2014 our cleans have helped tenants win back £1.2m in deposits. The rest of the county is covered on our Berkshire end of tenancy cleaning page.
Questions from SL5 tenants
Do you cover North Ascot on the Bracknell Forest side?
Yes. We clean in Ascot, North Ascot and South Ascot and the villages around them, including Sunningdale. Which council you are in makes no difference to the price or the checklist.
Can you clean during Royal Ascot week?
Yes. Tell us your road when you book, because a few, such as the top of Burleigh Road and parts of Cheapside Road, have closures or parking restrictions on race days. We plan the start time around the arrival and departure windows.
How much is a six-bedroom house in North Ascot?
Homes with five or more bedrooms are quoted from the room count. Give us the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and reception rooms, plus any annexe or conservatory, and we give you a fixed figure before you book.
Is the oven part of the fixed price?
No, the oven is an add-on. With the end of tenancy clean it is £31 for a single or single wide oven and £62 for a double oven or 90cm range.
How do I book and pay?
Use the calculator at the top of the page, call 0333 555 2076 between 8am and 7pm, seven days a week, or send photos on WhatsApp to the same number. A 50% deposit holds your date, and the rest is due once the clean is done.
