Brentwood end of tenancy prices at a glance
Rented homes in Brentwood split two ways: flats within walking distance of the High Street and the Elizabeth line, and family houses out in Warley, Hutton and Shenfield. Our end of tenancy clean covers both at a fixed price set by the number of bedrooms, from £176 for a studio to £445 for a four-bed house, across CM13, CM14 and CM15. The oven and the carpets are priced on top, and only if your inventory lists them.

Brentwood homes side by side
The table lists the homes we are booked for most in the borough, the fixed price for each, and the part of the job that usually takes longest. The price depends on bedrooms only. A large flat and a small house with the same count cost the same.
| Home | Price | What takes the time |
|---|---|---|
| Studio in a new block near the station | £176 | A galley kitchen, the shower screen, the fridge seals |
| One-bed flat over a High Street shop | £227 | The stairs from the street door, grease on the cooker hood |
| Two-bed flat in Warley or a converted building | £263 | Tall windows and deep sills, a second bathroom |
| Three-bed semi or terrace | £359 | Two floors of skirting, the garden door, a utility room |
| Four-bed detached house in Hutton or Shenfield | £445 | En-suites, a long kitchen, the conservatory glass |
| More than four bedrooms | Quoted from the room count | Extra bathrooms and floors |
| One room in a shared house, or a part job | £30 per cleaner per hour | Your room plus your share of the kitchen and bathroom |
Warley has the most mixed stock in the borough, and most of it was built on land that had another use first. When Warley Barracks closed in 1959, the old urban district council bought part of the site for houses, shops and flats. The Essex County Lunatic Asylum, later Warley Hospital, became the Clements Park, Galleries and Mascalls Park estates.
The Ilford photographic factory on Woodman Road became the Brackenwood estate. The former Ford headquarters on Eagle Way is now being redeveloped as Warley HQ. So a two-bed in Warley could be a 1960s council-built flat, a home inside a converted Victorian hospital building or a new-build, and the time each one takes varies even though the price is the same.
The ONS figures for August 2026 show how far apart the two ends of the market are. A Brentwood flat let for £1,275 a month on average, and a detached house for £2,202. The detached houses take longest: more bathrooms, more glass, more floor. The bedroom price already allows for that.

Hard water in the Billericay & Brentwood supply zone
Essex & Suffolk Water supplies the town through its Billericay & Brentwood zone, Z605, a blend of ground and surface water. Its 2026 water quality report, averaged over 2025, puts total hardness at 249 mg/l as calcium carbonate, about 17 degrees Clark, and the company describes the water in the zone as hard. You can read the figures in the Z605 water quality report.
What that means at check-out is scale. A shower screen that has not been descaled for a few months goes milky, the chrome at the base of each tap turns white, and the kettle element furs up.
A wipe moves the film and leaves the hard ridge under it, which a clerk can feel with a fingernail. The cleaners use a descaler, leave it to work, then rinse and dry the glass. That is part of every Brentwood clean and costs nothing extra.

Renting in Brentwood in 2026
Renting has grown here faster than the town. At the 2021 census, 16.0% of households in the borough rented privately, up from 11.3% in 2011, while the share owning their home fell from 75.1% to 71.9%. Rents are high for the region: £1,620 a month on average in August 2026, against £1,289 across the East of England. A one-bed averaged £1,107 and a three-bed £1,716.
The Elizabeth line explains a lot of it. Brentwood and Shenfield are both on the line, and two trains an hour from Brentwood run on through central London to Heathrow Terminal 5.
That brings in tenants who work in the City or at the airport, and their move dates tend to follow a job or a contract, so the clean often has to fit a fixed day. Harold Wood, the next stop towards London, is already in the borough of Havering, and our Havering end of tenancy page covers the London side of the border.
The newest rented flats are close to the station. Ewing House, run by the landlord Heimstaden, is an eight-storey building of 60 studios and two-bed flats, with a Budgens on the ground floor, a short walk from the High Street.
Licensing is simpler than in most London boroughs. The council’s housing pages set out the mandatory licence for a large house in multiple occupation: five or more people, from more than one household, sharing a kitchen or bathroom.
A new licence costs the landlord £890 and runs for five years, with inspections in that time. It is the landlord’s duty, and it does not change the standard your clean is measured against, which is the check-in inventory.
The checklist the cleaners work to
Every clean follows our 57-point checklist, the same list whether the home is a studio by the station or a house in Hutton.
- Kitchen: cupboards and drawers inside and out, worktops, splashback, hob, cooker hood and filter, sink and taps descaled, fridge and freezer washed out, the washing machine drawer and door seal, and the floor under anything that pulls out.
- Bathrooms and en-suites: scale off the screen, taps, shower head and tiles, grout scrubbed, the toilet including the base and hinges, bath, basin, mirror and extractor cover.
- Every room: skirting boards, doors and frames, radiators, light switches and sockets, window sills and the inside of the glass, inside fitted wardrobes, floors vacuumed and washed.
The cleaners are vetted (each one is interviewed in person), insured and trained on the checklist. We have been cleaning homes since 2014 in London, Liverpool, Manchester and the areas around them, more than 300 letting agents work with us, and tenants using us have won back £1.2m in deposits. We are rated 4.7 on Google.
Extras priced with the clean
We never fold the oven into the fixed price. Booked with the clean, a single or single wide oven is £31, and a double or a 90cm range cooker £62. Detached houses in Shenfield and Hutton often have a range cooker or a double oven, so look at the kitchen before you book. If you only need the oven, oven cleaning in Brentwood is the separate service.
Carpets are an add-on too, and cheaper booked with the clean than on their own: £29 for each bedroom, £36 for a living room, £47 for a through lounge, £35 for a flight of stairs, £20 for a hallway and £8 for a landing. Check your tenancy agreement first, because many only ask for carpets to be returned in the condition they were let. Our carpet cleaning in Brentwood page covers carpets booked without a clean.
If you are staying put and want the place done properly, a deep clean is £26 per cleaner per hour (two cleaners for at least three hours, from £186). Weekly or fortnightly visits are on our domestic cleaning in Brentwood page.
Booking a date
Send us the postcode, the number of bedrooms, the floor if it is a flat, the date you hand back the keys and any oven or carpets. The home needs to be empty, with power and hot water on, and the freezer defrosted the night before.
Where we have to pay for parking, for instance a town centre car park, the cost goes on your quote as it is. Month ends fill first, so book a week ahead if you can.
If your letting agent or the inventory clerk lists anything we missed within 48 hours of the clean, tell us and we come back to clean it again at no charge. That applies to end of tenancy cleans only.
We also clean further up the line in Chelmsford, the county town past Shenfield and Ingatestone. The rest of the county is on our end of tenancy cleaning Essex page.
Brentwood tenancy clean questions
I rent a studio in Ewing House. Is it really £176?
Yes. A studio is £176 wherever it is in Brentwood. Add the oven (£31 for a single) only if the inventory says it was clean when you moved in.
I share a house in Warley with four others. Does the HMO licence change what we book?
The licence is your landlord’s responsibility and makes no difference to the clean. If you all leave on the same day, book the whole house at its bedroom price. If you leave first, book your room and a share of the kitchen and bathroom at £30 per cleaner per hour.
Will the hard water make my clean more expensive?
No. Descaling the screen, taps, tiles and kettle is part of the fixed price for every Brentwood clean.
Can my landlord make me pay for a professional clean?
The Tenant Fees Act 2019 stops a landlord charging you for one as a condition of the tenancy. You do have to return the home as clean as it was at check-in, allowing for fair wear and tear, and the landlord can claim from the deposit if it falls short.
How do I pay?
A 50% deposit holds your date, and the rest is due once the clean is done.
