How an Stepney E1 check-out actually works

Four steps from first quote to the photo record your agent signs off — the same process on every E1 tenancy we clean.
  1. Tell us the property size and check-out datePick studio to 5-bed, say whether it is furnished or empty, and give us the date the keys go back. No survey and no site visit.
  2. Get a fixed price, on screenThe price is fixed against the property size and add-ons you choose. Parking, permits, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge are already inside it.
  3. Book your slot, often within 48 hoursMost London check-outs are booked within 48 hours, including weekends. Peak weeks in late June to September fill fastest.
  4. Full room-by-room clean against the agent checklistA DBS-checked team works the inventory list: oven interior, appliance seals, limescale, cupboard interiors, skirtings, sockets, window tracks, floors.
  5. Photos, checklist and a free re-clean if flaggedYou get a photo record and the completed checklist to send your agent. If the check-out report flags cleaning within 72 hours, we return and re-clean those items free.

Deposit protection

What loses deposits in Stepney and how we stop it

Cleaning is the most disputed item at check-out in every deposit scheme's published data. These are the entries that actually appear on Tower Hamlets check-out reports for this housing stock — we clean them first, then photograph them.
  • Oven interior, racks and door glass — the single most flagged item on any check-out report
  • Limescale on shower screens, taps and toilets; London's water is hard in every borough
  • Extractor filters and appliance seals, checked closely on fast agent-run turnarounds
  • Cupboard and drawer interiors, where the previous tenancy's crumbs get logged as 'not cleaned'
  • Window tracks and sills, the fastest place an inventory clerk finds a fault

Your rights at check-out

Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, a tenancy signed on or after 1 June 2019 cannot require you to pay for professional cleaning as a condition of the tenancy. What the landlord can require is that the property is returned as clean as it was at check-in, evidenced against the inventory. Your deposit must be in a government-approved scheme, and a disputed deduction goes to that scheme's free adjudication — which weighs photographic evidence heavily. That is why we hand you a dated photo record with the completed checklist on the day. General guidance, not legal advice.

About the area

Stepney in context

Ask in E1 what marks Stepney out and St Dunstan's Church, Stepney comes up first. Green squares, Victorian terraces and the Ocean estate east of Whitechapel. Dockland and rag-trade heartland; the docks closed in the 1980s and the LDDC rebuilt the Isle of Dogs as a financial district.

Victorian terraces, Ocean estate blocks and new housing-association flats. Tower Hamlets's tenure split — 25.7% owned, 38.2% private rented, 35.9% social (ONS Census 2021) — puts Stepney firmly in the high tenancy churn bracket, and the clean is priced and staffed for that.

Logistics set the slots we can offer in E1. Narrow terraced streets, estate parking permits and stair-only access in low-rise blocks. Part of Tower Hamlets sits inside the Congestion Charge zone and all of it is inside ULEZ. Every quote already carries the parking, permit and charging position for the street, so the number you see is the number you pay on the day the keys go back.

Tower Hamlets agents run high volumes of check-outs and use independent inventory clerks, so the report is photographic and itemised. Clerks here go straight to the oven, the extractor filter, the fridge seal and the window tracks, and they compare every photograph against the check-in report.
