This Fair Trading fact sheet has a list of various grounds for claiming against the bond, but it adds this rider …
There may be other legitimate reasons for making a claim against the tenant’s bond, such as the cost of disposing of goods left behind by the tenant. The claim must relate to a breach of the tenancy agreement by the tenant. (my emphasis)
So have a look at your list and decide if any of those items are a result of the tenant breaching the terms of her agreement, then make the claim. She can always dispute this and take you to a Tribunal if need be, where an independent arbiter will decide.
