Burnage end of tenancy prices
Nearly two in three Burnage homes are semi-detached houses, most of them put up in the 1930s and 1940s, so the job we are booked for most here is a three-bed semi, which we clean at the end of a tenancy for a fixed £339. Flats start lower: a studio is £156 and a one-bed £207.
Last updated October 2026.
The price is set by the number of bedrooms. It does not change with the street, the state of the garden or how far the house is from the station.

Burnage housing, from the Garden Village to Kingsway
Burnage grew around one road. Kingsway, now the A34, was cut through the fields from 1928 as a dual carriageway with a tram track down the central reservation, and Manchester’s council laid out brick semis either side of it in avenues and octagons.
Semis of that period still make up most of the ward. In the 2021 census Burnage had 6,522 households: 4,140 lived in a semi, 1,076 in a terrace and 801 in a purpose-built flat. About one household in three rented from the council or a housing association, and roughly one in seven (986 households) rented privately.
A Kingsway semi is a sensible size to clean. The rooms are square, the stairs are a single straight flight and the kitchen is usually at the back, often knocked through to a dining room. Where the time goes is the kitchen, the bathroom and any extension a later owner added on the back.
West of Burnage Lane is the older and odder corner. Burnage Garden Village was started in 1906 by Manchester Tenants Ltd, a society in which tenants bought shares and paid rent, and the architect J. Horner Hargreaves laid out 136 houses on a hexagonal loop road with a bowling green, tennis courts and a club house in the middle.
The Lord Mayor opened it in September 1910. The houses follow Arts and Crafts lines, set low with catslide roofs, and a catslide roof often leaves an upstairs room with a sloping ceiling. Cobwebs gather in that angle, so we take a long-handled duster to it.
The newest homes are on the site of Hans Renold’s chain works, which made roller chain on Burnage Lane from 1906. The company decided to close the plant in June 1983, and in 2013 Tesco agreed to take on the derelict site. It now holds the supermarket, new flats, shops and a GP surgery. Those flats have integrated kitchens, where the fridge and dishwasher hide behind cupboard doors, and the cleaner opens every one.

Landlord licensing in M19
Burnage is outside Manchester City Council’s selective licensing areas. The closest one is next door: the Matthews Lane area of Levenshulme, designated from 9 August 2023 to 8 August 2028, where privately rented homes need a licence. Two citywide rules do reach Burnage.
Mandatory HMO licensing covers any home shared by five or more people from two or more households. And since 8 October 2011 a citywide Article 4 Direction has meant that turning a family house into a small shared house needs planning permission.
That second rule explains why most Burnage lets are whole houses let to one household. For the clean it means a full-house job at the fixed price, with one person responsible for handing back the keys.
Soft water changes the bathroom job in Burnage
United Utilities supplies Manchester, and most of its water comes from upland reservoirs, Thirlmere and Haweswater among them, where the water is soft or very soft. The company does not soften any supply; the water arrives that way.
In practice a Burnage shower screen takes far longer to scale up than one in a London flat. The bathroom time goes instead on mould in the grout, the black line along the bath sealant and the extractor fan grille, which a clerk at check-out photographs whenever it is furred with dust.
Every clean follows our 57-point checklist. In a Burnage house that means:
- Kitchen: inside every cupboard and drawer, worktops, splashback and grout, the hob, the extractor canopy with its metal filter soaked, the sink and taps, the fridge and freezer, the washing machine drawer and door seal, and the floor under anything that pulls out.
- Bathroom: bath, basin, toilet including the base and hinges, tiles and grout, the shower screen and head, the fan grille, mirrors and the floor behind the pedestal.
- Every room: skirting boards, doors and frames, radiators, switches and sockets, sills, inside windows, the stair handrail, inside built-in wardrobes, and floors vacuumed and mopped.
The cleaners are vetted (each one is interviewed in person), insured and trained on that list. We have been in business since 2014, working in London, Liverpool and Manchester and the areas around them; more than 300 letting agents use us, tenants have won back £1.2m in deposits after our cleans, and we are rated 4.7 on Google.
Oven and carpet prices with the clean
The fixed price does not cover the oven. Added to the clean, a single or single wide oven costs £31, and a double or a 90cm range cooker £62. More detail on how the oven is cleaned is on our oven cleaning page.
Many Kingsway semis still have fitted carpet upstairs and a through lounge downstairs, so check the tenancy agreement for a carpet clause first. Booked alongside the clean, carpets cost £29 a bedroom, £36 a living room, £47 a through lounge, £35 a flight of stairs, £20 a hallway and £8 a landing. Our carpet cleaning page explains the method.
Not moving out? A deep clean is £26 per cleaner per hour, with two cleaners for at least three hours (from £186), and regular cleaning runs from £69 for a three-hour visit.
Booking round the agent’s check-out
Tell us the postcode, the bedroom count, the check-out date and any oven or carpets to add. The house should be empty, with the power and hot water still on and the fridge switched off and defrosted the night before. Most check-outs fall in the last few days of a month, so a week’s notice gives you the widest choice of dates.
Burnage station on Fog Lane is about twelve minutes from Piccadilly on the Styal line (Mauldeth Road station serves the north of the area), which helps when a tenant wants to hand the keys back in town on the same day. If the agent or the inventory clerk flags anything within 48 hours of the clean, we go back and redo those parts at no charge.
We cover the rest of the city too; the areas are listed on our Manchester end of tenancy cleaning page.
Questions from Burnage tenants
Do you clean houses in Burnage Garden Village?
Yes. They are priced by bedrooms like any other house, so a three-bed is £339. Tell us about any loft room when you book, because it counts as a bedroom.
My semi off Kingsway has a through lounge. Which carpet price applies?
The through lounge price, £47, covers a living room knocked through to the dining room. A separate front room and dining room are charged as two living rooms at £36 each.
Is my Burnage rental covered by selective licensing?
No. Burnage is outside every selective licensing area in Manchester; the nearest is Matthews Lane in Levenshulme. Only a shared house with five or more people from two or more households needs a licence.
Does soft water mean you skip the descaling?
No. Taps, the shower head and the kettle still get descaled, it just takes less time here than in a hard-water area. The extra minutes go on grout, sealant and the extractor fan.
I am the first to leave a shared house in M19. What should I book?
Book your room and a share of the kitchen and bathroom by the hour, at £30 per cleaner. Whoever leaves last can book the whole house at the fixed price.
