End of tenancy cleaning in Uxbridge: the short answer
From a studio near the station to a four-bed student house by Brunel, an end of tenancy clean in Uxbridge costs £156 to £425, fixed by the number of bedrooms. A single room in a shared house is booked by the hour instead. If the letting agent or the inventory clerk flags anything within 48 hours, the cleaners come back and put it right free.

Uxbridge property types and prices
The price depends on size, so the useful question is which kind of Uxbridge let you are leaving and where the time goes in it.
| Property | Price | Where the time goes |
|---|---|---|
| Studio in a town-centre block | £156 | A compact kitchen that has been cooked in every day, and the shower |
| One-bed flat, St Andrew’s Park or near the High Street | £207 | Integrated appliances, pale gloss doors, glass and chrome |
| Two-bed flat or house | £243 | Second bathroom or en suite, and limescale in both |
| Three-bed house | £339 | Stairs, more skirting and doors, a family-sized kitchen |
| Four-bed shared house near Brunel | £425 | The communal kitchen and bathroom after a full academic year |
| One room in a shared house, or a part job | £30 per cleaner per hour | Your room plus your share of the communal rooms |
The oven is never in the base price. Added to the clean it costs £31 for a single or a single wide oven, and £62 for a double or a 90cm range cooker.
Carpets added to the clean cost £29 a bedroom, £36 a living room, £47 a through lounge, £35 a flight of stairs, £20 a hallway and £8 a landing, less than booking them separately; the standalone prices are on our carpet cleaning page.

Brunel, Uxbridge South and the student lets
Brunel’s campus on Kingston Lane had 12,705 students in 2024/25. Its 34 halls hold 4,549 rooms, so thousands of students live off campus, many of them in shared houses within walking or bus distance. The council has treated the streets around the university as a special case for over a decade.
In 2013 it brought in an Article 4 direction covering the old Brunel and Uxbridge South wards, after houses there were being converted into student HMOs, and from then on turning a family house into a small shared house there needed planning permission. In November 2025 the council moved to apply the same rule across the whole borough.
Licensing has now caught up. From 24 August 2026 Hillingdon’s additional licensing scheme covers the whole borough for five years, to 23 August 2031, so a house or flat shared by three or four people from two or more households needs a licence, on top of the mandatory licence that already applied to five or more sharers. Hillingdon has no selective licensing, so a flat let to one household still needs none.
For a student house the timing matters more than the rules. Student tenancies tend to end in the summer, the agent wants the house turned round for the next group, and the communal kitchen is where joint deposits go.
Sharers who leave early can each book their room and a share of the kitchen and bathroom by the hour; the last one out books the rest, or the whole house is booked once at the fixed price.
In a student house, the communal kitchen is where joint deposits go.
St Andrew’s Park and the town centre
RAF Uxbridge closed on 31 March 2010. Its 44.6-hectare site, next to the town centre, was approved for 1,340 homes, shops, a theatre and a primary school, and it is now St Andrew’s Park, with the John Locke Academy and the restored cinema building among the flats and townhouses.
The Battle of Britain Bunker stays on its corner of the old base as a museum. Every home here has gone up since demolition began in 2012. A newer flat cleans fast, but the check-in inventory recorded it as close to new, so a greasy hob, a ring of scale in the shower tray or a scuffed white wall stands out.
The town centre itself has its two shopping centres, the Pavilions and the Chimes, and the station at the end of the High Street. Uxbridge is the western terminus of both the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines, in fare zone 6, under Charles Holden’s 1938 concrete canopy. Two stops back down the line is Ickenham, which also has both lines. For the Elizabeth line, tenants look south to West Drayton.

Hillingdon is one of the cheaper boroughs to rent in. The ONS put its average private rent at £1,570 a month in August 2026, up 2.5% on a year earlier, against £2,332 for London; a one-bed averaged £1,252 and a two-bed £1,586. Renting has grown fast, though.
At the 2021 census 25.9% of Hillingdon households rented privately, up from 18.1% in 2011, the second-largest rise of any London borough. A big local employer adds to demand: Hillingdon Hospital is on Pield Heath Road in UB8, and in July 2026 Laing O’Rourke signed the contract to build its replacement on the western edge of the same site.
Uxbridge’s water comes from Affinity Water, which supplies Hillingdon and draws more than half its water from underground sources. It is hard water. Taps, shower screens and the inside of a toilet bowl scale up quickly, and a clerk in UB8 looks for it, so the cleaners descale as part of every job.
Hillingdon runs parking management schemes on many residential streets, usually 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, where the van needs a resident’s visitor voucher or a paid space. If you have vouchers to spare, one saves a charge on the day. South of the town, Cowley sits on the Grand Union Canal, and the rest of the borough is on our Hillingdon end of tenancy cleaning page.
The clean itself
The home should be empty, with the electricity and hot water on. The cleaners come by van and work from the top of each room down.
- Kitchen: every cupboard and drawer inside and out, worktops, tiles, hob, extractor and filter, sink and taps descaled, fridge and freezer (defrosted beforehand), washing machine seal and drawer, and behind any appliance that pulls out.
- Bathrooms: scale off taps, shower head, screen and tiles, grout scrubbed, toilet, bath, basin and extractor cover.
- Every room: skirting, doors and frames, switches, sockets, radiators, sills, inside wardrobes, window glass from the inside, and floors vacuumed and mopped.

Uxbridge end of tenancy FAQs
Our Brunel student house became licensable in August 2026. Does the clean change?
No. The licence is the landlord’s responsibility, and the cleaning standard is the same. What a licensed house usually has is a detailed inventory, so the communal kitchen and bathroom get checked closely at check-out.
Can I book a clean for just my room in a shared house near Kingston Lane?
Yes. Rooms and shares of communal areas are booked by the hour at £30 per cleaner. Tell us how many rooms are yours and what share of the kitchen and bathroom you are covering.
Does the hard water in Uxbridge cost extra?
No. Descaling taps, screens, tiles and toilets is part of every end of tenancy clean here, at the fixed price.
Do I have to pay for a professional clean because my tenancy says so?
A landlord cannot make you pay for a professional clean; that has been the rule since the Tenant Fees Act 2019. You do need to hand the home back as clean as the inventory recorded at the start, less fair wear and tear, or the cost can come out of your deposit.
How much notice do you need in summer?
As much as you can give. Student tenancies tend to end within a few weeks of each other, so book as soon as you know your check-out date. A 50% deposit holds your date, and the rest is due once the clean is done.
