Derby City Council states that it does not currently operate any additional HMO licensing or selective licensing schemes, and Census 2021 records 19.3 per cent of Derby households renting from a private landlord or letting agency.
We build a page per job, a commercial and office route of its own, area pages across the city, and a quote tool that sizes the work before it reaches your phone. Census 2021 records 39.1 per cent of Derby households in semi detached houses and 13.7 per cent in flats. See it live before you pay a penny, live in 7 days.
The published Valuation Office stock table CTSOP4.1, stock at 31 March 2025, records 114,880 properties in Derby. That is the published local authority row and it covers the whole unitary authority rather than the city centre alone. 14.6 per cent of the stock was built before 1900, 6.2 per cent between 1919 and 1929 and 14.1 per cent between 1930 and 1939.
Census 2021 table TS054 records 19.3 per cent of Derby households renting from a private landlord or letting agency, with a further 1.9 per cent in other private renting. Table TS044 records 39.1 per cent of households in semi detached houses, 24.1 per cent detached, 21.8 per cent terraced and 13.7 per cent in flats. Both are whole authority figures.
Derby's commercial side carries the larger recorded search volume of the two. We would give commercial and office cleaning their own pages, build the end of tenancy page around your checklist, and add an area page for each part of the city you travel to.

Derby City Council operates mandatory HMO licensing only. Its own HMO page states that "Most* landlords of HMOs that have five or more occupiers forming two or more households require a licence", that from 1 October 2018 HMOs with five or more occupiers "regardless of the number of storeys became subject to HMO licensing", and that "Derby City Council does not currently operate any Additional HMO Licensing or Selective Licensing schemes". The council attaches conditions to a mandatory licence, among them "appropriate arrangements in place for the storage and disposal of household waste". Its HMO planning page adds a limit on "more than 10% of the properties within a 50m radius of the development site being used as HMOs".
For Derby properties, GOV.UK sets out the deposit protection requirements. A deposit must be protected where the home is rented on an assured periodic tenancy, and assured periodic tenancies replaced assured shorthold tenancies on 1 May 2026. GOV.UK names the Deposit Protection Service, MyDeposits and the Tenancy Deposit Scheme as the three schemes covering England and Wales, states that the landlord or letting agent "must put your tenants' deposit in the scheme within 30 days of getting it", and lists what the tenant must be told within the same 30 days, including "what to do if there's a dispute over the amount of deposit to be returned at the end of the tenancy".
We would link landlords and agents to the council's own HMO pages. Your page would set out the communal areas included, the room by room checklist, the access arrangements, completion photographs and your return visit policy.
The local field, 17 September 2026
We counted the Google Maps results for cleaning companies in Derby on 17 September 2026. The sample was 40 listings. Twenty were recorded in Derby under a domestic or commercial cleaning category, including one with a Derby town name but no postcode. Fifteen of the twenty had a website, with five having none. One further row is a location page of a national brand and one is a cleaning equipment sales and hire business. Two carpet cleaning firms and three window or gutter cleaning firms carried Derby postcodes, one row gave no address, and twelve rows were other trades.
A separate Maps pull for letting agents in Derby on the same day returned 40 listings, which is the cap we set, and every one carried a DE postcode and a property category. That is a capped sample of 40 rather than a count of the agents in the city.
Those are two dated samples of two searches. What we would do with them is give the city centre, Arboretum, Little Chester, Darley Abbey and Mickleover a page each, and put the commercial work on its own route.
Three Derby firms appeared in the first ten Google local listings we checked for "cleaning companies in Derby", with sites worth opening. One of the three names its own team cleaning named Derby buildings in its image text, among them the Museum of Making and an office for a heating manufacturer.

What every cleaning site needs, whatever the town, is on our cleaning companies page.
Derby City Council states that it "does not currently operate any Additional HMO Licensing or Selective Licensing schemes", and that most landlords of HMOs with five or more occupiers forming two or more households require a licence. A landlord page can speak to mandatory HMOs and to ordinary lets, and say what your clean covers in each.
OpenSEO recorded 170 monthly searches for commercial cleaning Derby and 170 for office cleaning Derby, against 110 for cleaning companies Derby and 70 for end of tenancy cleaning Derby. Those are phrase level volumes. They do not identify distinct buyers and they do not show how many of those searches lead to an enquiry.
The Maps pull on 17 September 2026 returned 40 listings. Twenty carried a Derby address under a cleaning category and fifteen of those had a website. Five had none. Those are sample counts taken on one day, not a complete measure of the firms trading in the city.
