END OF TENANCY
SMELL REMOVAL
COST IN LONDON

End of Tenancy Odour Removal — Price Overview

End of tenancy odour removal in London costs between £495 and £2,000+ (ex. VAT) depending on the property size, the type and severity of odour left by the previous tenant, and whether manual surface cleaning is required before treatment.

At Ozone London, our end of tenancy packages are:

• Essential — from £495 + VAT: Ozone treatment for properties where surfaces have already been professionally cleaned. For light residual smell after a well-maintained tenancy.
• Advanced — from £695 + VAT: ULV cold fogging with specialist chemical agent + industrial ozone + ionisation. Our most popular end of tenancy package. Covers smoke, pets, cooking and general habitation odour.
• Complete — from £1,350 + VAT: Full manual surface treatment + fogging + ozone. For heavy or long-term contamination — extended tenancies, smoking, pets and cooking combined.

All prices are starting prices for a studio or small one-bedroom property. See our full pricing guide for larger properties.

Common Tenant Odours and Their Treatment

End of tenancy odour is rarely a single smell. After a long tenancy, a property may contain a combination of embedded odours that each require a different approach:

• Tobacco smoke: One of the hardest to fully eliminate. Nicotine residue embeds in walls, ceilings, carpets and soft furnishings. Requires surface chemical treatment, fogging and ozone — Advanced or Complete package.
• Pet odour: Dog and cat smells, especially urine, penetrate deep into carpet backing and subfloor. UV inspection locates hidden deposits. Enzyme treatment + fogging + ozone.
• Cooking and curry: Grease and spice compounds settle on every surface and penetrate wall paint over time. Degreasing + fogging + ozone.
• Mould and damp: Musty smell from condensation or poor ventilation. Requires biocide treatment + fogging + ozone. Source moisture must be resolved first.
• General habitation: The stale, lived-in smell from a long tenancy. Often responds well to Advanced package fogging and ozone.

What Each Package Includes

All packages include: free site assessment, real-time ozone monitoring, safe re-entry confirmation, same-day or next-day availability and treatment documentation on request.

• Advanced (from £695 + VAT): Specialist fogging agent matched to odour type + industrial ozone + ionisation.

Deposit Disputes and Documentation

Where odour removal costs are being claimed from a tenant deposit, professional treatment documentation can support your case. We can provide written confirmation of the treatment carried out, the methods used and the areas covered, suitable for deposit dispute files and check-out inventory follow-ups.

Treatment must be proportionate to the damage caused. We always provide an honest assessment of what the property actually needs — we do not recommend or carry out work that is not necessary.
