End of tenancy cleaning for Stockport flats and houses
A lot of what is new in Stockport town centre is built to rent, from the 253 apartments in the restored Weir Mill to the 73 Rent to Buy flats at Platform, and more tenants than ever are handing back a flat that was brand new when they moved in.
Our end of tenancy clean in Stockport costs the same fixed price in a new apartment or an older house, £156 for a studio, £207 for a one-bed and £243 for a two-bed, and it is worked to a 57-point checklist with the home empty.

The check-out walk-through
The inventory clerk compares your empty home with the check-in report and its photographs, room by room, and records anything that is dirtier than it was on the day you moved in, allowing for fair wear and tear. Our cleaners are interviewed in person before they are taken on, insured, and trained to follow the clerk’s route.
The kitchen comes first because it carries the most lines on a report. The cleaner washes each cupboard and drawer inside and out, wipes the tops of the wall units, degreases the hob and splashback and soaks the extractor filter.
Where a fridge or freestanding cooker moves, it is pulled out and the floor and wall behind it are cleaned; in a new-build flat with integrated appliances, the panel doors, the plinths and the fridge seals get the attention instead. Please defrost the freezer the day before.
The oven is an add-on. Its racks and trays are left to soak separately while the cavity, the glass and the door seals are cleaned by hand in the kitchen, and the inner door glass is removed only where the door design allows.
In the living room and bedrooms the clerk looks at skirting boards, door tops, switches, radiators and window sills, and opens every wardrobe. If there is a balcony, its floor and the inside of the balustrade glass are cleaned. Hard floors are washed with a product that suits the finish, and carpets are vacuumed; if the check-in report says the carpets were professionally cleaned, add the carpet clean so the line matches.
If the agent or the clerk flags anything within 48 hours of our visit, we come back and put it right at no charge. That works best when the clerk visits the day after the clean.
Soft water in the bathroom
United Utilities supplies Stockport, and it says most of the water in its region comes from upland reservoirs and is soft or very soft. The thick limescale crust that fills bathroom notes on southern check-outs is much less common here.
What a Stockport clerk tends to find instead is mould in the sealant and grout, a grey film on the shower tray, dust packed into the extractor grille and marks around the base of the toilet.
So the bathroom clean leans that way. Surface mould on sealant and grout gets a cleaner left to work before scrubbing (if it has stained right through, we tell you), sealant lines are cleaned along their full length, the extractor cover is dusted and wiped, and the toilet is cleaned inside the rim, round the hinges and behind the pan. Taps and screens still get a descale where there is any build-up, because some boreholes in the south of the region give harder water.
The thick limescale crust that fills bathroom notes on southern check-outs is much less common here.

Stockport rents averaged £1,125 a month in September 2026, according to the ONS, and two-beds £1,042. With a five-week deposit cap, a typical two-bed has about £1,200 waiting on the check-out.
New flats in the town centre
Stockport’s Mayoral Development Corporation was set up in 2019 to rebuild the west side of the town centre, and by September 2025 it counted 1,200 homes complete or on site and another 1,500 in the pipeline.
That month the Greater Manchester Combined Authority backed tripling its area to 410 acres, 130 in the west and 280 in the east, and the council raised its target from 4,000 to 8,000 new homes across the town centre over 15 years. The next phase, Stockport 8, is planned at 1,200 homes, and building has started at Chestergate, which adds affordable and social rent homes.
For a tenant this matters at check-out. When a flat is let new, the check-in report describes a brand-new flat, and that is the standard your check-out is measured against. Integrated appliances, gloss cupboard doors, glass balustrades and pale engineered floors show every mark. Tell us when you book if you were the first tenant, and the team allows the time for that finish.
Licensing in Stockport
Stockport Council’s landlord pages list one licensing scheme: the national mandatory licence for houses in multiple occupation where five or more people from two or more households share a kitchen or bathroom. No selective or additional scheme is listed. A licence is the landlord’s job either way, and your deposit is decided against the check-in inventory. The council’s HMO page has the details.
Since 1 May 2026 the Renters’ Rights Act has moved private tenancies onto a rolling basis, and tenants give two months’ notice when they choose. Move-out dates now land anywhere in the month, so book once you have given notice.
North of the town centre, the streets towards Heaton Moor are on the same council rules, and the rest of our Greater Manchester work is on the Manchester page. If you are staying in your Stockport home, regular domestic cleaning starts from £69 for a three-hour visit.
Frequently asked questions
How much is an end of tenancy clean for a one-bed apartment in Stockport town centre?
£207. A single oven adds £31 with the clean, and a carpeted bedroom adds £29. The price stays fixed whether the flat is in a converted mill or a new block.
Is Stockport water hard or soft?
Soft. United Utilities supplies Stockport and says most of its water is soft or very soft, so the bathroom clean puts more time into mould, sealant and grime than into limescale.
Does Stockport have selective licensing?
Not at present. The council’s pages list only the mandatory licence for shared houses of five or more people from two or more households, and that is your landlord’s responsibility.
I was the first tenant in a new-build flat. What standard will the clerk expect?
The condition recorded at check-in, which for a new flat means as new, less fair wear and tear. Tell us when you book so the team allows for the glass, gloss doors and integrated appliances.
Do I need to be at home during the clean?
No. Many tenants hand keys to the letting agent or meet the team at the start. Leave the water and electricity on, because we use the home’s supply, and ring 0333 555 2076 or send a WhatsApp message to the same number between 8am and 7pm, seven days a week.
