TikkyClean guide
A practical guide to how TikkyClean thinks about cleaning prices, quote factors and value across homes, businesses, holiday lets and specialist cleans.
Clear answer first
This guide starts with the direct answer before moving into checklists, tables and service context.
Most cleaning prices depend on property size, condition, scope, access, frequency and timing. A small regular visit in a maintained home is very different from a full end of tenancy handover, a same-day holiday let changeover or a post-build reset.
TikkyClean prices work by understanding the property first, then matching the clean to the result needed. This guide explains the factors that usually affect a quote so customers can send clearer details and compare options sensibly.
Key takeaways
Guide section 1
A proper quote starts with the property and the outcome. TikkyClean looks at the number of rooms, bathrooms, surfaces, flooring, access, current condition and the level of detail required. A tidy, regularly maintained home may only need routine upkeep. A rental property at handover may need cupboards, appliances, skirting, doors, bathrooms, kitchens and floors checked in much more detail.
Timing also matters. A flexible one-off clean can usually be planned more easily than an urgent handover or a holiday let changeover between guests. If the booking has a hard deadline, limited parking, key collection or linen coordination, those practical details affect how the job is planned.
| Factor | Why it changes the quote |
|---|---|
| Property size | More rooms, bathrooms and floor area usually require more time and more products. |
| Current condition | A maintained space needs less reset work than a property with heavy build-up, dust or staining. |
| Type of clean | Regular, deep, end of tenancy, holiday let and after-builders cleans have different standards. |
| Frequency | Recurring visits can become more efficient once the property is in a steady routine. |
| Access and parking | Keys, parking, stairs, distance from the van and time windows can affect planning. |
| Add-ons | Carpets, linen, inside appliances, heavy dust and specialist tasks may need separate scope. |
Guide section 2
Different cleaning services are priced differently because they solve different problems.
| Service type | How the quote is usually considered | Common details to provide |
|---|---|---|
| Residential cleaning | Routine support based on property size, frequency and priorities. | Bedrooms, bathrooms, visit frequency, pets, access and preferred tasks. |
| Commercial cleaning | A schedule built around opening hours, footfall, washrooms, kitchens and presentation standards. | Premises type, square footage, frequency, out-of-hours needs and key areas. |
| Holiday let cleaning | Changeover scope, turnaround window, guest standard, reporting and linen coordination. | Property size, arrival/departure times, beds, bathrooms, linen and consumables. |
| Deep cleaning | A fuller reset based on the level of build-up and detail needed room by room. | Photos, rooms, problem areas, appliances and whether carpets are included. |
| End of tenancy cleaning | Handover-style scope for an empty or near-empty property. | Inventory requirements, appliances, cupboards, deadline and access details. |
| After builders cleaning | Dust and residue removal after works, usually planned around project completion. | Type of work, dust level, flooring, paint marks and readiness of the site. |
Guide section 3
A good quote request does not need to be complicated. The best enquiries explain the property, the deadline and what result is needed. Photos are especially useful for deep cleaning, end of tenancy cleaning and after-builders work because they reduce guesswork.
Guide section 4
Fixed public prices can look simple, but cleaning work changes quickly from property to property. Two three-bedroom homes can take very different amounts of time if one is regularly maintained and the other needs a full reset. TikkyClean prefers to quote with enough context so the agreed scope is realistic and the customer knows what is included.
The aim is not to make pricing complicated. The aim is to avoid rushed work, unclear expectations and surprise add-ons after the cleaner arrives.
