Nottingham City Council's second selective licensing scheme started on 1 December 2023 and its additional scheme went citywide in January 2024, in a city where Census 2021 records 26.5 per cent of households renting from a private landlord or letting agency.
We build the end of tenancy, deep clean, carpet, commercial and office pages separately, area pages for the parts of the city you cover, and a quote tool that sizes the job first. Carpet cleaning Nottingham is searched 1,000 times a month and commercial cleaning Nottingham 480 (OpenSEO keyword data, September 2026). 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 147,480 properties in Nottingham. That is the published local authority row for a tightly drawn city, and the parts of the built up area sitting in Broxtowe, Gedling and Rushcliffe are outside it. 17.3 per cent of the stock was built before 1919, 36.4 per cent before 1940 and 19.5 per cent from 2000 onwards.
Census 2021 table TS054 records 26.5 per cent of Nottingham households renting from a private landlord or letting agency, with a further 2.1 per cent in other private renting. Table TS044 records 21.4 per cent of households in flats, including 18.4 per cent of all households in purpose built flats, with 33.3 per cent semi detached and 27.4 per cent terraced. Both are whole authority figures.
That is a landlord and agent market with two council schemes running over it. We would build a landlord route with the end of tenancy checklist on it, a deep clean page, a commercial page, and area pages for the parts of the city you cover.
Nottingham City Council lists Sneinton among the areas covered by an Article 4 direction on specific properties, mostly within conservation areas, which the council says restricts minor building work such as small extensions, outbuildings and changes to windows and doors (Nottingham City Council Article 4 page, read 17 September 2026).
Domestic and end of tenancy cleaning, with the booking date agreed up front.
Named by the council in its list of areas covered by an Article 4 direction, with the direction document published on the same page (Nottingham City Council Article 4 page, read 17 September 2026).
Deep cleaning set out room by room, with the extras quoted separately.
Named by the council in the same Article 4 list, alongside Wellington Terrace and Foxhall Road (Nottingham City Council Article 4 page, read 17 September 2026).
End of tenancy work photographed at the finish, including the oven and the internal windows where they are included.
Named by the council in its Article 4 list of areas where permitted development rights for minor works have been removed (Nottingham City Council Article 4 page, read 17 September 2026).
Landlord and letting agent work, with its own enquiry route separate from the tenant one.
Both named by the council in the same Article 4 list (Nottingham City Council Article 4 page, read 17 September 2026).
Communal area cleaning for blocks, with the stairs and hallways named on the page.
Nottingham City Council runs three licensing schemes at once and states what each covers. Its selective licensing page says that "The second scheme of selective licensing started on 01 December 2023", that the scheme "does not cover all areas of the city" and that it is "estimated to cover over 30,000 privately rented homes in a designated area". The sealed designation states that it was made on 17 January 2023, came into force on 1 December 2023 and ceases to have effect on 30 November 2028 unless revoked earlier, and that the area is the part of the city shown edged and hatched in red on its map.
The additional licensing page states that "As of January 2024, the third scheme is now citywide, meaning smaller HMOs across Nottingham now require a licence", applying to properties occupied by three or more unrelated people forming two or more households who share facilities. Mandatory HMO licensing runs alongside both, and on the planning side the council states that an Article 4 direction means planning permission is needed to convert a family dwelling to an HMO with between 3 and 6 unrelated people sharing.
Deposit protection is a national rule rather than a Nottingham one. GOV.UK states that a deposit must be protected in a government approved scheme where the home is rented on an assured periodic tenancy, and that assured periodic tenancies replaced assured shorthold tenancies on 1 May 2026. The landlord or the letting agent must put the deposit in the scheme within 30 days of getting it, the three schemes for England and Wales are the Deposit Protection Service, MyDeposits and the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, the agreed amount is returned within 10 days of both sides agreeing it, and a disputed deposit stays in the scheme until the issue is settled.
We would link landlords and agents to the selective designation map and the citywide additional scheme. 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 Nottingham on 17 September 2026. The sample was 40 listings. Thirty three carried an NG1 to NG11 address and thirty two of those had a website, with one having none. A thirty fourth row gives an NG16 address, inside the postal district but outside the council area. Five rows gave no address at all and one sat in Scarborough. Several of the forty are named for a single service, among them window cleaning, gutter cleaning and carpet cleaning.
A separate Maps pull for letting agents in Nottingham on the same day returned 40 listings, which is the cap we set. Twenty nine carried an NG address and every one of those is an estate agent, letting agent or property management listing. 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 Sneinton, Foxhall Road, Wellington Terrace, Strelley and the city centre a page each, and carry a landlord route that a property manager can book from.
Three Nottingham firms appeared in the first ten Google local listings we checked for "cleaning companies in Nottingham", with sites worth opening. One of the three names its founder, carries his portrait, states the date the family business started, shows a before and after kitchen and lists the postcode areas it covers.
Built on WordPress. It carries a page per area and reviews on the page. Quotes come through WhatsApp, and the phone number sits in the header.
The site displays Google review stars, a membership logo, telephone links and a WhatsApp contact route.
Built on WordPress. It carries a page per area, photographs of its own jobs and reviews on the page. Quotes come through WhatsApp, and the phone number sits in the header.
It names the founder and carries his portrait, states the family business date, shows a before and after kitchen image and states the postcode areas it covers.
Built on WordPress. It carries reviews on the page. It has no page per area. Quotes come through a form, and the phone number sits in the header.
The header repeats the phone number beside a free quote link and the services split domestic and kitchen cleaning, end of tenancy cleaning and commercial and office cleaning into separate pages.
All three keep the phone number in the header, all three carry reviews on the page, and two run a page per area. Each one opened and checked 17 September 2026.

What every cleaning site needs, whatever the town, is on our cleaning companies page.
One plain paragraph can. Nottingham City Council states that its second selective licensing scheme started on 1 December 2023 and is estimated to cover over 30,000 privately rented homes in a designated area, and that additional licensing went citywide in January 2024. A landlord page can say you work for landlords and agents in that market and set out what your clean covers.
OpenSEO recorded 1,000 monthly searches for carpet cleaning Nottingham, 590 for cleaning services Nottingham, 480 for commercial cleaning Nottingham, 390 for office cleaning Nottingham, 320 for cleaning companies in Nottingham and 210 for end of tenancy cleaning Nottingham. Those are recorded phrase volumes and they do not say how many searches end in a booking.
Describe what your clean includes, what it excludes and how you handle a request for further work. GOV.UK states that a disputed deposit is held in the scheme until the issue is settled, and your page can link to that guidance while describing your own checklist, completion record and insurance accurately.
