Clean2Let has been deep cleaning houses and apartments across north County Dublin since 2011. Malahide is a short run up the coast from our base in Baldoyle, and it is an area we know well enough to quote on over the phone once we know the size of the property and the type of clean you need.
This page covers what we do in Malahide specifically. For the service in general, start with end of tenancy cleaning or deep cleaning in Dublin.
Three kinds of cleaning job in Malahide
Malahide is not one housing type, and the clean is different in each. These are the three we are called out to most.
End of tenancy in the apartment developments
Most of the rental stock in Malahide is apartments, and it sits in a handful of named schemes — Marina Village, Robswall, Waterside and Jameson Orchard among them. Asking rents for a two-bed in those developments generally run somewhere between €2,000 and €2,800 a month, which makes a deposit worth arguing over.
So the job on an end of tenancy clean here is not making the place look tidy. It is getting it back to the standard the letting agent signed it out at. In practice that comes down to a short list of things that decide the inspection:
- Inside the oven, including the door glass and the racks
- The extractor filter above the hob
- Fridge and freezer seals, with the appliance empty and defrosted
- Window tracks and the runners on patio doors
- Shower screens and the grout behind the taps
Miss any one of them and the deposit conversation starts. Our full room-by-room list is on the what’s included page.
Deep cleans in the 1960s and 70s estates
Away from the coast, a large part of Malahide was built between the mid-1960s and the end of the 1970s. Ard na Mara came first — a run of detached bungalows put up in the mid-sixties, the village’s first proper housing estate. Biscayne and Seapark followed in the seventies, then Muldowney Court and Seabury.
Fifty years on, these are houses with original presses, tiled kitchens and bathrooms that have been sealed and re-sealed more than once. Limescale on glass and taps is a given. A deep clean on a house like this takes longer than the same square footage of new build, so it is worth telling us the age of the house when you ring — it means the quote is right the first time rather than changing on the day.
After builders cleans on the new developments
At the other end of the scale, new houses have been coming on stream. Wellfield, off Streamstown Lane, launched its second phase in early 2025 — A2-rated houses with heat pumps and underfloor heating rather than a traditional boiler and rads.
A new build needs a completely different clean. There is no grease to speak of, but there is builders’ dust in every window frame, behind every radiator, on top of every door and inside every press. It travels, and it settles again if the floors are done first. We dust down, wash, then do the floors last. More on our after builders cleaning page.
What a clean costs in Malahide
Prices are fixed on the size of the property, so you know the figure before we arrive. Internal windows and frames are the one optional extra — worth taking on anything facing the estuary or the sea, where salt builds up on the glass.
| Property size | Deep clean | With internal windows |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1 bedroom | €210 | €240 |
| 2 bedroom | €240 | €270 |
| 3 bedroom | €300 | €340 |
| 4 bedroom | €380 | €450 |
| 5 bedroom | €470 | €540 |
Every price is all-inclusive: two insured, vetted cleaners and all equipment and materials brought with us. Larger or heavily soiled properties and commercial jobs are quoted individually. The full list is on our cleaning prices page.
Malahide cleaning questions
Which parts of Malahide do you cover?
All of it — the K36 area in full. The village and Church Road, the estates south and west of the crossroads, Yellow Walls, Seabury, Robswall and the coastal developments, and out as far as Abington on the Swords Road.
How long does a deep clean take in a Malahide apartment?
A two-bed apartment is usually a morning for a two-person team. An older three or four-bed house takes longer, particularly if the oven has not been done in a while. We give you a realistic window when we quote rather than a best case.
Does the property need to be empty?
For an end of tenancy clean, ideally yes — furniture out, presses and wardrobes empty, fridge and freezer empty with the freezer defrosted. We can deep clean an occupied home too, we just work around what is there, and anything inside a full press cannot be cleaned.
Do you do handover cleans on the new houses?
Yes. After builders cleaning is one of our main services and we work with homeowners, developers and builders. If you are taking keys on a new build, ring us with the handover date rather than the moving-in date — the clean wants to happen in between.
Can you clean the communal areas in an apartment block?
Yes. We look after communal areas, stairwells and lobbies for apartment developments across Dublin on a recurring basis, invoiced monthly. See apartment communal area cleaning.
Nearby areas we also cover
Malahide sits between two areas we work in constantly. There is a page for each: cleaning services in Swords, just up the road, and Baldoyle, Howth and Sutton down the coast, where we are based. We also cover Portmarnock, Kinsealy and the rest of Fingal.
