Reigate end of tenancy prices
Reigate’s rented homes are mostly Victorian streets near the station, and interwar and post-war houses in Woodhatch and South Park. For any of them, our end of tenancy clean costs a fixed price by size, starting at £176 for a studio, and Reigate water is hard enough that descaling is a large part of the work.

Those prices cover an empty home in ordinary end-of-tenancy condition. Ovens and carpets are extras, priced further down. For your exact figure, enter the postcode and bedrooms in the calculator at the top of the page, or call 0333 555 2076 from 8am to 7pm, seven days a week. If the agent or the inventory clerk points out anything within 48 hours of the clean, we go back and deal with it free of charge.
The stake is a large deposit. The ONS put the average rent in Reigate and Banstead at £1,640 a month in August 2026, with a one-bed at £1,142, a two-bed at £1,483, a three-bed at £1,818 and four bedrooms or more at £2,559. The overall figure is well above the South East average of £1,426. At the 2021 census 15.7% of households in the borough rented privately, up from 12.9% ten years before.
From Wray Park villas to Woodhatch semis
Reigate’s housing was built in waves, and each wave cleans a little differently. The railway came in 1849 and the first new streets followed it. Wray Park, north of the centre, was laid out in the 1850s and 1860s, with St Mark’s Church built for the new houses.
Doods Road was made around 1864, and Somers Road, west of the station, soon after. To the south-east, the National Freehold Land Society started the Glovers Field estate in 1863, and Glovers Road and Lesborne Road followed around 1893. When the Great Doods estate was sold in 1897, Deerings Road was built up.
These Victorian and Edwardian houses are the ones that take longest at check-out. Tall rooms mean high skirting, door frames and picture rails to wipe; sash windows have runners and deep sills; old fireplaces have tiled hearths that hold soot. Some of the bigger houses have been split into flats, so a one-bed can come with a long shared staircase and a top-floor kitchen under a sloping ceiling.
In 1921 the Reigate Priory estate, which owned much of the land in the town, was sold, and leaseholders were able to buy their freeholds. South Park kept growing south and east, and when Woodhatch Farm was sold in the 1930s, houses went up there too. The council then built the Rushetts Farm estate in Woodhatch in the 1950s.
These interwar and post-war houses are simpler to clean, with lower ceilings and less moulding, though the garden door at the back tracks in mud. Surrey County Council moved its headquarters to Woodhatch Place in January 2021, so the area has a large office on its doorstep.
East Surrey Hospital, at Whitebushes south of Redhill, has 744 beds and is run by Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust. A hospital that size employs a lot of people, and some of them rent in Reigate; if a job or rotation fixes your moving date, tell us the key return date when you book.
Reigate’s housing was built in waves, and each wave cleans a little differently.
Landlord licensing in Reigate and Banstead
Licensing here is light compared with London. Reigate and Banstead Borough Council has no selective licensing scheme and no additional licensing for smaller shared houses. The licence that does apply is the national mandatory one: a house in multiple occupation let to five or more people from two or more households needs it, and the council has fined a landlord for breaching HMO rules.
So most Reigate lets, whether a flat for a couple or a family house, carry no licence at all. That does not loosen the check-out.
Your deposit sits in one of the three government schemes (the Deposit Protection Service, mydeposits or the Tenancy Deposit Scheme), and if the landlord wants to keep part of it for cleaning, the adjudicator compares the check-out report with the check-in inventory. Clean to the inventory and there is nothing to deduct.
Hard water and the 57-point checklist
SES Water supplies Reigate. It took over the old Reigate Water Works Company in the late 1890s, and its head office is on London Road in Redhill. SES says much of its water comes from boreholes in chalk and limestone, which makes it naturally hard; it softens the supply a little at the treatment works, but scale still forms.
In a flat that has gone a year without descaling, the shower screen turns cloudy, the taps grow a white crust and the toilet gets a brown ring at the waterline. A clerk notes all of that as dirt, so descaling is part of every clean.
- Kitchen: inside and outside every cupboard and drawer, worktops, splashback, hob, extractor hood and filter, the sink and taps descaled, the fridge and freezer, the washing machine drawer and seal, and the floor under any appliance that moves.
- Bathrooms: scale removed from taps, shower heads, screens, tiles and the toilet bowl; bath, basin and grout scrubbed; the extractor cover cleaned.
- Every room: skirting, picture rails, doors and frames, radiators, switches and sockets, window sills, the inside of the glass, built-in wardrobes, and the floors vacuumed and washed.
The cleaners are vetted (we meet and interview each one in person), insured and trained on the checklist. We started in 2014 and work across London and the towns around it. More than 300 letting agents work with us, tenants have recovered £1.2m in deposits after our cleans, and our rating on Google is 4.7.
Oven, carpets and other extras
The oven is never in the fixed price. Added to the end of tenancy clean, it costs £31 for a single or a single wide oven, and £62 for a double or a 90cm range cooker. To book the oven on its own, use our oven cleaning service.
Look for a carpet clause in your tenancy agreement first. With the clean, carpet cleaning is £29 per bedroom, £36 for a living room, £47 for a through lounge, £35 for each flight of stairs, £20 for a hallway and £8 for a landing. Victorian houses split into flats often have a carpeted staircase from the front door, so count it. Standalone carpet work is on our carpet cleaning page.
If you are staying, a deep clean is from £206, with two cleaners for at least three hours and the kit included. Regular cleaning is £23 an hour weekly or £24 fortnightly, in 3-hour visits from £69; see domestic cleaning.

0333 555 2076 · 8am to 7pm
Reigate station opened on 4 July 1849, on the branch from Redhill. Off-peak there are two Southern trains an hour to London Victoria, and two Great Western Railway trains an hour each way between Reading and Gatwick Airport. Month-end dates fill first, so book a week ahead if you can.
Since 1 April 2023, Surrey County Council has run on-street parking in the borough, including residents’ and visitor permits, so ask your agent whether your road is a permit area. Where we have to pay to park, the cost is added to the quote at what we pay.
When you book, give us the bedrooms, the floor, the date the keys go back and any oven or carpets. We need the home empty, with electricity and hot water on. We clean across the county too; our Surrey end of tenancy cleaning page lists the other towns.
Questions from Reigate tenants
My flat is in a converted Victorian house near the station. Will it cost more than a modern flat?
No. The price is set by bedrooms, so a one-bed is £227 in either. The older flat usually has more woodwork and more scale, and the cleaner allows for that.
Does my landlord need a licence for my Reigate house?
Only if it is let to five or more people from more than one household. The borough has no selective or additional licensing, so a family let or a flat for a couple needs none.
Will the hard water add to my bill?
No. Descaling the taps, screens, tiles and toilet is part of the fixed price for every Reigate clean.
Can my landlord insist on a professional clean?
Not as a condition of the tenancy; the Tenant Fees Act 2019 bans that. You must 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 is not.
We have a five-bedroom house off Reigate Hill. How is it priced?
Homes above four bedrooms are quoted from the room count. Send us the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and reception rooms, and we will give you a fixed figure.
