Sound familiar?
What usually goes wrong when Edinburgh flats change hands, and how we take it out of the equation.
The agency’s contractor charged what?
A cleaning deduction turns up on your deposit for a job you never saw priced, by someone you never chose.
Compare prices yourself, and keep a receipt you can forward to the scheme.
Who’s going to let them in?
You’ve already moved out of Edinburgh, the keys are with the letting agent, and the clean is on Tuesday.
Key collection, with the return recorded by photo.
How it works. Three steps.
Describe the job
Choose the rooms, the appliances and a level for each, from a quick wipe to extremely dirty. Quote jobs only need a short description and a few photos.
Compare real prices
Edinburgh providers send their prices, usually within minutes. You see each one’s rating and reviews before you pick.
Pay safely, sign off
The payment sits with Cleanifiq until the work is done. Report a problem and the provider comes back before they are paid.

How we check providers, line by line
No vague "we vet our providers". This is the list every provider in Edinburgh goes through before they can take a booking, so you can judge it yourself.
Individuals
- Photo ID
- Proof of address
- Public liability insurance
- Criminal record check (Basic Disclosure Scotland or equivalent)
- Right to work, where it applies
Companies
- A director's ID
- Business address
- Public liability insurance
- Companies House status
- Documents with an expiry date are re-checked when they expire, not checked once and forgotten.
- A new provider's first three jobs are covered by Cleanifiq's insurance while their own cover is verified.
- Every review on a provider profile comes from a booked, paid job.
It isn't bulletproof. No check is. That's why every review on a profile comes from a paid job, and why your payment waits with us until the work is done.
What does cleaning cost in Edinburgh?
These are typical totals from real Cleanifiq jobs in Edinburgh, taken from quotes customers accepted between October 2025 and October 2026, with every property size counted together. The median is in the middle; most jobs fell between the outer two figures. Services with fewer than 10 Edinburgh jobs are left out rather than guessed.
| Service | Typical total | Most jobs between | Jobs counted |
|---|---|---|---|
| End of tenancy cleaningTotals include carpet add-ons where they were booked. | £190.00 | £110.00 – £341.00 | 127 |
| Move-in / move-out cleaning | £126.00 | £76.00 – £252.00 | 33 |
| House cleaning | £109.00 | £75.00 – £129.00 | 30 |
| Deep cleaning | £251.00 | £96.00 – £391.00 | 17 |
| HandymanSmall fixes and larger projects sit in one category, hence the spread. | £170.00 | £100.00 – £800.00 | 41 |
| Custom quote | £217.00 | £92.00 – £475.00 | 37 |
How prices are set
- Cleanifiq doesn't set the price. Each provider sets their own hourly rate (at least £17.00 an hour), and our pricing engine turns the rooms, appliances and cleaning level you pick into a fixed price before you book.
- Quote jobs (handyman, commercial, pressure washing, decontamination, custom quotes) are priced by each provider from your description and photos.
- Hourly bookings are charged at the rate the provider sets, typically £17.00–£25.00 an hour, for a minimum of 2 hours.
- Same-day and next-day bookings can carry a surcharge that the provider sets. You see it in the price before you confirm.
- There is no booking fee: the price you see is the price you pay. No subscription, no minimum spend for private customers.
- If your provider finds more than you described, they send an additional payment request through the platform with a description and a price. You accept or decline it, and it expires after 1 hour; decline it and they clean what you booked.
Your money is protected. Here's exactly how.
We hold the money
You choose at checkout: pay a deposit (20% of the job, or the provider's minimum call-out fee if that's higher) or pay in full. If you pay a deposit, the balance is due by 7:30am on the day of the job; unpaid by then, the booking counts as cancelled. Your money goes to Cleanifiq, not the provider. Release to the provider starts the day after the job, once they've completed it on the platform.
We fix it, or you get the value back
Tell us within 48 hours, with photos or a short video of what isn't right (the terms' outer limit is 7 working days, after which the job counts as accepted). Your provider has 48 working hours to come back and put it right, at no cost to you, and we hold their payment until it's settled. If they can't or won't, you choose: we return the value of the unfinished items (worked out from your original quote) as a refund or Cleanifiq credit, we set up a new, smaller job for just those items with another provider (you see the price before confirming anything), or both.
If they cancel, you're never out of pocket
If your provider cancels, you never pay a cancellation fee. You choose a replacement provider (you see their price first) or a full refund. If you rebook the same service for the same date, any same-day or next-day surcharge on the replacement is covered.
The full wording is in our terms for private customers.
Leaving an Edinburgh tenancy?
The rules are Scottish, the buildings are Edinburgh’s own. Both change how the clean goes.
Notice, then a deposit decided on evidence
On a private residential tenancy you give your landlord at least 28 days’ notice in writing. Your deposit sits with one of the three approved Scottish schemes, and if you challenge a cleaning deduction an independent adjudicator decides it from the check-in inventory and what each side can show. An itemised receipt and dated photos are the strongest things you can send.
Sash windows and tall rooms
Georgian and Victorian flats mean high ceilings and big sash windows. Ceiling-height dusting is done from a 3-step ladder or with an extension pole, and window prices are worked out per pane size, so tell us about the large ones when you book.
Parking and the Festival
Much of central Edinburgh is controlled parking: choose "paid parking" in the booking form so providers can allow for it. In August the city is at its busiest, so if your move falls during the Festival, book as soon as the date is fixed.

FAQ
Edinburgh questions, answered
- Yes. Request quotes before 3pm and pick today's date: you only see providers who take same-day jobs, 28 of the 48 Edinburgh providers listed on Cleanifiq in the six months to October 2026, and 37 take next-day jobs. Providers set their own surcharge for short notice (typically 50% for same day), and it is included in the price you see before you book.
- Yes. You pick the date when you book and only see providers who can do it. As soon as your check-out date is fixed, send the request: the earlier you ask, the more providers still have that slot free.
- Yes, when providers have availability. August is busy for anyone working in the city centre, so book as early as you can and expect fewer same-day options.
- Yes. Tell us when you need the keys back. Your provider records the return with a photo, and isn't paid until that's recorded or you confirm you have them.
- Yes, where providers cover it. In the year to October 2026 customers accepted quotes in Livingston (EH54), Bathgate (EH48), Linlithgow (EH49), Whitburn (EH47) and Broxburn (EH52). Enter your postcode when you book to see who covers yours.
- You choose at checkout: pay a deposit (20% of the job, or the provider's minimum call-out fee if that's higher) or pay in full. If you pay a deposit, the balance is due by 7:30am on the day of the job; unpaid by then, the booking counts as cancelled. Your money goes to Cleanifiq, not the provider. Release to the provider starts the day after the job, once they've completed it on the platform.
- Tell us within 48 hours, with photos or a short video of what isn't right (the terms' outer limit is 7 working days, after which the job counts as accepted). Your provider has 48 working hours to come back and put it right, at no cost to you, and we hold their payment until it's settled. If they can't or won't, you choose: we return the value of the unfinished items (worked out from your original quote) as a refund or Cleanifiq credit, we set up a new, smaller job for just those items with another provider (you see the price before confirming anything), or both.
- Yes, you can cancel your booking, but cancellation fees may apply depending on timing. More than 2 weeks before: full refund with no deductions. Between 2 weeks and 2 days before: a payment processing fee of 1.69%–5% (depending on payment method) is retained and the rest is refunded. Less than 2 days before (or failing to pay by 7:30 AM on cleaning day): your deposit is retained as a slot reservation fee. After the provider starts: you owe the minimum callout fee or work completed, whichever is greater. Whenever money comes back to you, you can take it as Cleanifiq credit instead of a refund, sometimes with a bonus on top. This policy keeps things fair for both customers and Edinburgh providers.
- Before a provider can take bookings we check photo ID, proof of address and public liability insurance, plus a criminal record check (Basic Disclosure Scotland or equivalent) and right to work where it applies. For companies we check a director's ID, the business address, public liability insurance and Companies House status. Documents with expiry dates are re-checked when they expire, and a new provider's first three jobs are covered by Cleanifiq's insurance while their own cover is verified. Every review on a provider's profile comes from a booked, paid job. No check is perfect, so read the reviews and pick someone with a track record for your type of job.
- Always pay through Cleanifiq, including for anything added on the day. Work paid for privately falls outside our guarantee, our insurance and our dispute resolution.
