Sheffield has run two selective licensing schemes and both have now ended, and Census 2021 records 16.8 per cent of its households renting from a private landlord or letting agency.
We build an end of tenancy page with your checklist on it, a deep clean page, a carpet page, a commercial page and an area page per part of the city, with a quote tool that collects the job details before the enquiry reaches you. Sheffield City Council states that both of its selective licensing schemes have now ended and mandatory HMO licensing still applies. 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 262,430 properties in Sheffield. That is the published local authority row and it covers the whole metropolitan district rather than the city centre alone. 19.0 per cent of the stock was built before 1919, 40.2 per cent before 1940 and 25.4 per cent between 1945 and 1972.
Census 2021 table TS054 records 16.8 per cent of Sheffield households renting from a private landlord or letting agency, with a further 1.9 per cent in other private renting. Table TS044 records 19.3 per cent of households in flats, including 17.6 per cent of all households in purpose built flats, alongside 38.0 per cent semi detached and 26.0 per cent terraced. Both are whole authority figures.
We would build the landlord and agent side of the site as its own route rather than one line on a services list. An end of tenancy page carrying your checklist, a deep clean page, a commercial page, and an area page for each part of the city you actually travel to.
Sheffield City Council states that a selective licence scheme ran in Page Hall from 22 April 2014 to 21 April 2019 and has now ended, and lists the streets it included, among them Page Hall Road, Hinde House Lane, Popple Street and Robey Street (Sheffield City Council selective licensing page, read 17 September 2026).
End of tenancy work for landlords and agents on these streets, with the checklist set out in full.
The council states that a selective licensing scheme operated in areas of London Road, Abbeydale Road and Chesterfield Road and some adjoining streets between 1 November 2018 and 31 October 2023, and that a landlord who held a licence under it does not need to renew, that scheme having ended (Sheffield City Council selective licensing page, read 17 September 2026).
Changeover cleaning for the flats above the shops and the houses behind them, booked on a fixed date.
Named by the council in the same designation as London Road and Abbeydale Road, with the adjoining addresses listed street by street on the council's page (Sheffield City Council selective licensing page, read 17 September 2026).
Domestic and one off deep cleaning, quoted from the room count and the appliances included.
Sheffield City Council states that some parts of the city are subject to an Article 4 Direction which removes the right to automatically change the use between normal houses and small HMOs occupied by 3 to 6 people (Sheffield City Council planning page, read 17 September 2026).
Shared house cleaning, with the communal areas named separately from the rooms.
Sheffield City Council states that a house or flat in which 3 or more households live as their only or main residence and share basic facilities is an HMO, and that some HMOs occupied by 5 or more will require licensing. Its management regulations page puts duties on managers and tenants "to ensure the good order, repair and, as appropriate, cleanliness" of the parts of the house in common use, the installations in common use, the living accommodation, the windows and ventilation and the means of escape from fire.
Its private housing controls page adds that in an HMO "the manager is required to ensure that the furniture supplied is in a clean condition at the start of a person's occupation". Two selective licensing schemes have run in the city and both have ended: Page Hall from 22 April 2014 to 21 April 2019, and London Road, Abbeydale Road and Chesterfield Road from 1 November 2018 to 31 October 2023. Mandatory HMO licensing still applies where the council's definition is met.
The deposit rule is national. GOV.UK states that a landlord must put a tenant's deposit in a government approved tenancy deposit protection scheme where the home is rented on an assured periodic tenancy, that assured periodic tenancies replaced assured shorthold tenancies on 1 May 2026, and that the landlord or the letting agent must put the deposit in the scheme within 30 days of getting it. It names the three schemes for a property in England or Wales as the Deposit Protection Service, MyDeposits and the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, and states that at the end of the tenancy the deposit must be returned within 10 days of landlord and tenant agreeing how much the tenant gets back, with a disputed deposit held in the scheme until the issue is settled.
We would link landlords and agents to the council's own scheme pages and the Article 4 areas. 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 Sheffield on 17 September 2026. The sample was 40 listings. Twenty seven carried a Sheffield postal address and twenty six of those had a website, with one having none. Seven of the twenty seven are branches or franchises of national or multi city brands, ten rows gave no address at all and three sat elsewhere. The same pull mixes house cleaning with gutter cleaning, carpet cleaning, laundries, a car valeting branch and a house clearance firm.
A separate Maps pull for letting agents in Sheffield on the same day returned 40 listings, which is the cap we set. Thirty six carried a Sheffield address and thirty one of those are estate agent, letting agent, property management or student housing listings. That is a capped sample of 40, not a count of the agents in the city.
Those are two dated samples of two searches. What we would do with them is give Page Hall, London Road, Abbeydale Road, Chesterfield Road and the city centre a page each, and put a landlord and agent route on the site that a property manager can use without ringing first.
Three Sheffield firms whose websites we opened and checked. One of the three splits end of tenancy, carpet, upholstery, rug, leather, tile and grout, stone floor and after builders cleaning into separate named services, with a price list page and an our work page beside them.
Built on WordPress. It carries a page per area and reviews on the page. Quotes come through a form, and the phone number sits in the header.
The top bar carries the phone number and email, the service menu lists end of tenancy, carpet, upholstery, rug, leather, tile and grout, stone floor and builders and sparkle cleaning separately, and there is a price list page and an our work page.
Built on Squarespace. It carries reviews on the page. It has no page per area. Quotes come through a form.
The home page is built around a Home, Team and Contact structure with a named team section and review content on the page.
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.
A single page carries a request a free quote form with name, email, phone and service fields and a consent checkbox, and lists house cleaning, specialised cleaning, maid service, window washing and move in and move out cleaning.
Both of the two we could check keep the phone number in the header, all three carry reviews on the page, and one runs a page per area. Each one opened and checked 17 September 2026.

Nine live sites we run ourselves, in this trade, from the owner's side of the desk. Our Manchester site reached page one of Google for local searches. Open it and book a job the way your customer would.
What every cleaning site needs, whatever the town, is on our cleaning companies page.
There is. Sheffield City Council states that in an HMO "the manager is required to ensure that the furniture supplied is in a clean condition at the start of a person's occupation", and mandatory HMO licensing still applies where the council's definition is met. A landlord page can set out what your clean covers, what it excludes and what the landlord receives afterwards.
OpenSEO recorded 880 monthly searches for carpet cleaning Sheffield, 590 for cleaning companies in Sheffield, 480 for oven cleaning Sheffield, 170 for commercial cleaning Sheffield and 140 for end of tenancy cleaning Sheffield. Those are recorded phrase volumes, not enquiries, and they do not say which page a searcher opens.
The Maps pull on 17 September 2026 returned 40 listings. Twenty seven carried a Sheffield postal address and twenty six of those had a website. Seven of the twenty seven are branches of national or multi city brands. That is a dated sample from one pull, not a complete measure of the firms trading in the city.
