Ram Quarter end of tenancy cleaning, sorted

How do you keep a full deposit on a flat where the check-in photos were shot the week the block handed over and the old brewery chimney is still in every shot? You give it back matching that pack, pane for pane, because at Ram Quarter the inventory clerk is holding your flat against a near-new one and there is no margin for a flat that looks lived in. We are Monster Cleaning Ltd, we have cleaned check-out flats across this Young’s brewery site in central Wandsworth since 2014, and the rest of this page is exactly how we do it.

Last updated April 2026. The pricing, the 57-point agent-approved checklist and the 48-hour re-clean terms below apply to Ram Quarter and the wider Wandsworth Town area in SW18; the legal references point to current gov.uk and legislation.gov.uk pages.

We clean end-of-tenancy flats at Ram Quarter from £207 for a one-bed and £243 for a two-bed, worked against a 57-point agent-approved checklist with a 48-hour re-clean guarantee on every job. That is the short answer; the rest is where the deposit is won.

Why Ram Quarter deposits get money taken off them

Ram Quarter is the regeneration of the Young’s Ram Brewery, off Wandsworth High Street in the London Borough of Wandsworth, SW18. There has been brewing on this ground since 1533, which makes it Britain’s oldest continuous brewing site, and the scheme kept the listed Brewhouse and Old Brewery buildings and the tall brewery chimney standing in the middle of it. The new homes sit between those kept buildings, the River Wandle, the Southside shopping centre and Wandsworth Town station. The point that matters for a check-out is simple: there is no period domestic stock here. No splits of old houses, no original boards, no picture rails. You either have a modern flat in a new concierge block, studio up to three-bed, or a loft-style flat carved into one of the converted listed brewery buildings. Floor-to-ceiling glazing, handle-less gloss kitchens, integrated appliances, podium courtyards, a gym and a manned desk. That stock decides what the clean is about, and it is rarely the thing the tenant scrubbed hardest.

The money comes off for glass, gloss and the parts a hoover skips, not the things people fret over. The clerk turns up with the pack shot when the flat was new and walks it photographing as they go. The start point looked like a show flat, so the bar is the show flat. A converted-warehouse loft inside the Old Brewery is held to the same standard as a tower flat: the brick and the height are heritage, the finish is brand new.

The marks that cost a Ram Quarter tenant money are predictable once you have done a few here. A hard-water bloom and finger marks across the floor-to-ceiling glazing and the balcony doors. A wet-room or shower screen left filmy by the hard supply. A handle-less gloss kitchen with a greasy haze drifting up from the hob. Integrated appliances wiped on the front and never opened. Engineered or stone flooring left dull or with a dried product smear. White hallway walls and skirting scuffed in a way the concierge handover books as chargeable rather than fair wear. Carpet, where there is any at all, is usually the least of it. People lose money here by cleaning what their eye lands on and missing what the camera goes to first.

The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 and your deposit

Cleaning is one of the few deductions a landlord can still make cleanly, so it pays to know the rules before the fob goes back to the desk. Your deposit sits in a government-backed scheme. A landlord cannot bill you for fair wear and tear, and cannot ask the flat back cleaner than the check-in pack recorded, but they can charge to bring it back to that documented state, and on a near-new Ram Quarter flat the gap between fair wear and a chargeable clean is narrow because the move-in photos showed almost nothing to begin with. The Renters’ Rights Act 2025 changed how tenancies end and how deposits are handled, and the working detail is kept current on gov.uk. A dispute is raised through whichever scheme holds the money, the Tenancy Deposit Scheme or mydeposits, with the clerk’s photo report as the evidence on both sides. Shelter sets out your side plainly if it ever gets that far. A professional check-out clean does not change the law; it removes the cleaning line from the argument before it starts, which on a flat like this is most of the argument.

Wandsworth and the Ram Quarter letting market

Ram Quarter lets fast and it lets to people who move for work. A lot of these flats go through the bigger firms with a Wandsworth desk: JLL, Savills and Hamptons all handle stock here, alongside the developer’s own lettings team for the newer blocks. Those agencies run proper check-in and check-out inventories with a clerk and a full photo set, and they manage the concierge handover where the keys, fobs and any parking permit go back to the desk on a booked slot rather than whenever you finish. The standard is written down on day one and you are measured against it on the last day, frame by frame. We work to the inventory itself, not a vague idea of clean, because at this end of the Wandsworth market the inventory is the only thing that decides whether the cleaning money is yours or theirs. The London Borough of Wandsworth publishes its own tenancy and housing guidance at wandsworth.gov.uk if you want the council’s own line.

Hard water on new fittings in SW18

Wandsworth is a hard-water area on the Thames Water supply, which is the single thing that decides how a Ram Quarter flat photographs at check-out. The fittings here are new, mostly four years old or less, so there is no decades-deep scale to fight. What there is instead is fast surface scale: a cloudy bloom on the shower screen, a dulling film on chrome and the glazing, white spotting on taps and the wet-room fittings, sometimes round the dishwasher seal. Thames Water publishes the hardness figures for SW18 on thameswater.co.uk and the area sits firmly in their hard band. We treat the screen and the glass with a proper scale remover and a blade, not a quick wipe that just moves the bloom around, then buff dry so nothing returns as a film under the clerk’s torch. On near-new fittings the scale lifts cleanly when it is done properly. It is the most common thing we are called for here, and the thing the previous tenant thought they had already dealt with.

Ram Quarter streets and blocks we cover and what the clerk flags there

We clean the flats in the new concierge blocks off Ram Street and Capability Way, the loft-style flats inside the converted Old Brewery and Brewhouse buildings, the homes on the courtyards backing onto the River Wandle, and the blocks along the Wandsworth one-way facing the Southside centre and the Spread Eagle. We also cover the wider Wandsworth Town stretch toward the station and Old York Road. We have cleaned enough of these to know where the clerk slows down. In the tower flats it is the floor-to-ceiling glazing and the balcony doors first, then the wet-room screen, then the gloss kitchen near the hob. In the converted brewery lofts it is the same finish list plus the tall feature glazing and the heavy industrial-style window frames that hold dust along the top edge where nobody reaches. Across all of them the integrated appliance interiors and the engineered or stone floor get checked, and the white circulation walls near the front door get the scuff inspection because that is the easiest chargeable line on a near-new flat.

What’s included in a Ram Quarter end of tenancy clean

End of tenancy is the hand-back clean. Deep clean is for when you are staying. Regular is for keeping on top of it. The list below is the first one, the one the deposit turns on. It is one full visit by two cleaners against the 57-point agent-approved checklist, and here is what that covers on a flat at Ram Quarter:

• Kitchen: Oven cleaned inside, door glass split and degreased, racks and trays done.
• Hob and splashback: Induction or gas hob, surround and any glass splashback degreased and the haze taken off.
• Extractor: Hood and the metal filter degreased, not just the visible front.
• Gloss units: Handle-less high-gloss doors and the push-to-open edges wiped streak-free, fingerprints off the top run.
• Integrated appliances: Fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washer-dryer cleaned inside and out, seals and drawers included.
• Sink and tap: Sink descaled, the tap and any boiling-water tap brought back to bright with the scale off.
• Worktops: Stone or composite worktops cleared, wiped and finished without a smear.
• Floor-to-ceiling glazing: Full-height glass in the living room and bedrooms cleaned both sides where access allows, scale and finger marks off.
• Balcony doors and track: Glazed doors, the frame and the runner channel cleaned out, not just the pane.
• Window frames and sills: Internal frames, the heavy industrial-style frames in the brewery lofts and the sills wiped, top edges included.
• Wet room and shower screen: Glass screen descaled and blade-finished, no dried bloom left under a torch.
• Bathroom: Bath, basin, taps and tiling descaled, grout wiped, glass and mirror polished clear.
• WC: Toilet cleaned and descaled inside the pan, behind and at the base, hinges included.
• Chrome and fittings: Towel rails, shower fittings and handles descaled and buffed so nothing dries back filmed.
• Mirrors and glass: Bathroom and any fitted mirrors and internal glazed doors finished clear.
• Bedrooms: Wardrobes wiped inside and out, runners cleared, skirting and frames done.
• Living area: All surfaces, the media wall, shelving and any fitted joinery wiped down.
• Engineered and stone floors: Hard floors cleaned with the correct product and left clean, no dried film or streak.
• Carpet and rugs: Where fitted, hoovered through; carpet shampoo is a listed add-on if you want it.
• Walls and skirting: Spot-cleaned for marks and scuffs, the white circulation walls near the door checked properly.
• Doors and handles: Door faces, edges, handles and switch plates wiped and finished.
• Skirting, rails and ledges: Skirting, any picture or dado rail in a loft, vents and high ledges dusted and wiped.
• Radiators and trims: Radiators, panel heaters, vents and visible trims cleaned including the backs where reachable.
• Hallway and storage: Entrance hall, utility or storage cupboard and the airing space cleared and wiped.
• Balcony or winter garden: Floor swept, glass balustrade and the door cleaned where the flat has one.
• Final detail: Light switches, sockets, intercom handset and the front door inside and out wiped before handover.

Common reasons we get re-called

A re-clean under the 48-hour guarantee is rare here, but when it happens it is almost always one of a short list. We would rather you knew it up front.

• Glazing dried back filmy: The full-height glass was cleaned but not buffed dry, and the hard supply left a faint bloom that the afternoon light through the courtyard finds an hour later.
• Shower screen still spotting: The wet-room screen was wiped rather than properly descaled and bladed, so the scale ghost comes back as it dries.
• Gloss kitchen haze: Handle-less gloss doors near the hob cleaned with the wrong cloth, leaving a greasy sheen the clerk catches at an angle.
• Integrated appliance interiors: A dishwasher filter or a washer-dryer seal cleaned on the visible part and not behind, which the clerk opens every time.
• Frame and sill tops: The heavy industrial-style window frames in a brewery loft dusted on the face but not along the top edge where the dust actually sits.

If a clerk flags any of these within 48 hours we come back and put it right. We are not interested in arguing the toss over a screen.

What a Ram Quarter end of tenancy clean costs

Flat, honest pricing, no per-room maths invented at the door. A studio at Ram Quarter is £156. A one-bed is £207. A two-bed is £243. A three-bed is £339. A four-bed, which here means one of the larger loft conversions, is £425. If you would rather book by time it is £30 an hour per cleaner. Carpet shampoo, where a flat has carpet, is £36 a bedroom, £43 for a living room or £115 for a whole two-bed. The oven is already in the flat price; only a double oven at £110 or a 90cm range cooker at £114 is charged on top, and most of these kitchens are a single integrated oven so most people pay neither. The price you are quoted off the bedroom count and the postcode is the price you pay.

What your Ram Quarter agent will actually check

The check-out is a defined walk and the clerk does it in roughly the same order every time. It helps to know it.

1. The floor-to-ceiling glazing and the balcony doors, against the light, for bloom and finger marks.
2. The wet-room or shower screen and the bathroom glass, for any dried scale film.
3. The handle-less gloss kitchen near the hob, at an angle, for a greasy haze.
4. The integrated appliances opened up: oven, fridge-freezer, dishwasher filter, washer-dryer seal.
5. Taps, chrome and the wet-room fittings, for scale spotting on near-new metal.
6. The engineered or stone floor, for dullness or a dried product film.
7. The white circulation walls and skirting near the front door, for chargeable scuffs.
8. Window frames and sills, including the heavy frame tops in the brewery lofts, for dust.
9. Wardrobe and cupboard interiors, runners and the storage or airing cupboard.
10. The final handover at the concierge desk, fobs and any parking permit included.

That walk is the 57-point agent-approved checklist in plain English. We clean to the list the clerk is holding, which is why the 97% first-time pass rate holds up on this kind of stock and why we have £1.2m of deposits recovered behind us across more than 300+ letting agents.

How booking works

Booking a Ram Quarter clean takes one short call.

1. Call 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected] with the postcode, the number of bedrooms and your check-out date.
2. We quote off the flat list above, no inspection visit needed.
3. We book the day, ideally the day before your concierge handover so any re-clean still lands before the inspection.
4. Two cleaners arrive with all the kit, including the scale remover and blades for the glazing and screen.
5. If the clerk flags anything within 48 hours we come back and fix it under the guarantee.

That is the whole process. No deposit to pay us up front, no long form.

Related cleaning services and nearby areas

If you only need part of it, we also do a standalone deep oven and range clean, a carpet and rug shampoo for the few flats here that have carpet, and a window and glazing clean for the full-height glass on its own. For the full picture of how we cover this borough, see our end of tenancy cleaning across Wandsworth hub, and we cover neighbouring patches too, including end of tenancy cleaning in South Balham. Ram Quarter sits a short walk from Wandsworth Town station and the Southside centre, so we can usually slot a job in around a check-out booked at short notice.

Monster came on a Monday, with my concierge check-out booked for the Wednesday after. I work in finance, I was on my own in the flat, and I had a one-bed on a high floor of one of the new Ram Quarter towers for the full twelve months, the one looking straight down onto the old brewery and that big chimney they kept. The flat honestly looked finished to me. I had given it a full evening and gone over the floor-to-ceiling glass in the living room and the bedroom, and the screen in the wet room, more than once. It still dried with this faint cloudy bloom and little hard-water spots you only really saw when the clerk wiped a dark inspection cloth flat across the dried glass and held it up. That was the one thing, not mess, just the water marks on the glass and that screen. The two Monster cleaners took the scale off every pane and the screen with a proper descaler and a blade and buffed it all dry so nothing came back, redid the gloss kitchen by the hob, and the clerk’s cloth came away clean on the second walk. I got the whole deposit back, just under £2,150, released through the Tenancy Deposit Scheme about a week later. For a single evening’s difference it was worth every penny.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is an end of tenancy clean for a Ram Quarter flat?

A studio is £156, a one-bed £207, a two-bed £243, a three-bed £339 and a larger four-bed loft conversion £425. Or £30 an hour per cleaner if you would rather book by time. The quote off your bedroom count and postcode is what you pay.

Why does the glazing matter so much in a Ram Quarter tower?

Because the check-in pack was shot when the flat was new, and the floor-to-ceiling glass is the first thing the clerk holds against it. On the hard Thames Water supply it dries with a bloom the moment it is wiped rather than properly buffed, so it is the most common chargeable line here.

Do you guarantee the clean against the concierge check-out?

Yes. Every Ram Quarter job carries a 48-hour re-clean guarantee. If the inventory clerk flags anything we cleaned within 48 hours of the visit, we come back and put it right at no extra cost.

What is your first-time pass rate?

97% first-time pass rate. Worked against the 57-point agent-approved checklist, with £1.2m of deposits recovered across more than 300+ letting agents, including the firms that handle the Wandsworth and Ram Quarter market.

Do you clean the loft-style flats in the converted brewery buildings too?

Yes. The Old Brewery and Brewhouse loft flats get the same list as the tower flats, plus the tall feature glazing and the heavy industrial-style window frames, which collect dust along the top edge.

How do you clean the engineered and stone floors without leaving a film?

With the correct product for the floor type and a clean finish, not a wet mop that dries back streaked. The clerk checks the floor at an angle in daylight, so it has to be left genuinely clean rather than just damp-wiped.

Which letting agents do you work with around Ram Quarter?

We work to the inventory whoever holds it. Around Ram Quarter that is usually JLL, Savills or Hamptons, plus the developer’s own lettings team, and we have recovered deposits through more than 300+ letting agents overall.

Can you come a day or two before my concierge check-out?

Yes, and we recommend it. If we clean the day before your booked handover, any re-clean under the 48-hour guarantee still lands before the clerk walks it.

Is the oven included or is it extra?

A standard integrated oven is included in the flat price. Only a double oven at £110 or a separate 90cm range cooker at £114 is charged on top, and most Ram Quarter kitchens have a single integrated oven.

Do I need to supply cleaning products or equipment?

No. Two cleaners arrive with everything, including the scale remover and blades for the glazing and the wet-room screen and the right product for engineered and stone floors. You provide nothing.

How long does a two-bed Ram Quarter flat take?

Most two-beds are a morning with two cleaners. The full-height glazing and the wet-room screen are the slow part; the rest moves quickly on a modern hard-floored flat.

Can my landlord keep my deposit for cleaning?

Only for genuine cleaning beyond fair wear, and the deposit must sit in a scheme like the Tenancy Deposit Scheme or mydeposits. A professional check-out clean with our 48-hour guarantee is the part you can put beyond dispute. Shelter has guidance if it goes to adjudication.

Do you cover the rest of Wandsworth Town and the Wandle side?

Yes. We work the new concierge blocks off Ram Street and Capability Way, the converted brewery lofts, the courtyards backing the River Wandle and the wider Wandsworth Town stretch toward the station and Old York Road.

How do I actually book it?

Call 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected] with the postcode, the number of bedrooms and your check-out date. We quote off the flat list, book the day, and send two cleaners with all the kit.
