What customers say about us on Google

“I used York Street Homes for my end-of-tenancy cleaning, and I had a very positive experience. … They were also very flexible with scheduling and accommodating my preferred arrangements for handing over the keys, which made the moving process much easier. … After my landlord pointed out a few minor issues, the team was very helpful and arranged to resolve them promptly without any hassle.”

Karen RoblesGoogle reviewEnd of tenancy cleaning
  • “They did an outstanding end-of-tenancy clean, leaving the property spotless from top to bottom. The carpets had some stubborn stains that I wasn’t sure would come out, but they managed to get them looking so much better, which really exceeded my expectations.”

How long does an end of tenancy clean take?
