What is included
What a move-in or move-out clean covers
This is a clean of an empty property, done so the next tenant, landlord or agent can walk in and sign off. It is not the same visit as a deep clean of a furnished home.
Room-by-room reset
Every room in the empty property is worked through in order, from bedrooms and bathrooms to the kitchen, passages and living areas.
Inside cupboards and wardrobes
Cupboards, wardrobes, drawers and shelving are cleaned inside, which is what a new tenant notices first.
Inside appliances
The oven, stove, extractor, fridge space and kitchen units are cleaned inside so the kitchen is ready for use.
Windows, tracks and frames
Interior glass, sills, frames and sliding-door tracks are wiped down as part of the empty-property reset.
Skirtings, doors and switches
Skirting boards, door frames, handles and light switches are wiped, since these carry the marks of the previous occupant.
Final handover walkthrough
We walk the property with you, the landlord or the agent at the end so any missed spot is handled before keys change hands.
How it works
How move-in and move-out cleaning works
The clean happens once the property is empty, so cupboards and appliances can be opened and worked inside.
Confirm the empty property
We agree the property type, bedroom count and the date the unit will be empty, then fix the price before booking.
Start top to bottom
The team works ceilings, cornices, cupboards and high surfaces first, then moves down to the floors.
Inside cupboards and appliances
Interiors are emptied of dust and residue, which is the part most handovers are judged on.
Wet areas and kitchen
Bathrooms, showers, toilets, the kitchen and the scullery are sanitised and dried.
Handover walkthrough
You or the agent walks the property with the team, and the job is closed out while we are still on site.
Who books it
Landlords, tenants and estate agents
Most move-in and move-out cleans are booked around a deposit inspection, a new lease or a viewing day.
Landlords
Hand the property over clean between tenants, so the next lease starts without complaints about the state of the unit.
Tenants
Book a move-out clean before the deposit inspection, on an empty property, so nothing is left behind for the check.
Estate agents
Get a property viewing-ready or handover-ready between mandates, with a walkthrough you can sign off on.
Pricing

Pricing is set by property type and bedroom count, so you know the cost before the clean is booked.
