Room-by-room end-of-tenancy cleaning list with time estimates and what the remaining work would cost against your deposit.
This checklist covers an end-of-tenancy clean room by room, built from the jobs that repeatedly appear as deposit deductions rather than from a general tidying routine — the oven, the extractor filter, limescale, grout mould, carpet stains, wall marks and rubbish left behind. Each task carries a professional time allowance, so multiplying by your number of bedrooms and bathrooms gives the real length of the job: about 16 to 17 hours for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat. Enter a cleaner's hourly rate and the unticked work is priced, which is close to how a landlord's contractor bill is calculated.

Every task has a real minute allowance, so you know whether this is an afternoon or two full days.
Deduction magnets score three times a finishing touch, and any left open caps the readiness verdict.
The remaining work is costed at your rate and shown as a percentage of the deposit at stake.
About 16 to 17 hours of work for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat done thoroughly, and roughly 7 to 8 hours for a studio. The kitchen alone is around four and a half hours because the oven takes over an hour and the fridge, cupboards and appliance seals each take another block. A professional team of two typically compresses that into a single day.
The oven, limescale on taps and shower screens, mould in bathroom grout and sealant, carpet stains, marks and unfilled holes on walls, and anything left behind — rubbish, furniture, or items in the loft. These are the jobs a checkout inspector opens and photographs first, which is why they are weighted highest here.
Normally the condition recorded at check-in, less fair wear and tear — not showroom condition, and not better than you found it. That makes the check-in inventory and its photographs the reference document for the whole argument, so read it before you start and photograph every room again after cleaning. If a deduction is disputed, take advice on the tenancy law that applies where you are.
Compare the quote with the hours. At a typical ₹300 an hour, the 17-hour clean for a two-bed flat is around ₹5,000 of labour, so a quote near that is close to break-even and buys you an invoice you can show the landlord. Doing it yourself is cheaper only if you actually finish the deduction-prone jobs; leaving the oven and the grout undone usually costs more than the clean would have.
