Empty-property cleaning
Discuss general cleaning of accessible floors, skirting, switches, internal doors, cupboards and other surfaces once the rooms have been emptied, subject to an agreed task list.

Cleaning services alongside your house move
Moving out, handing back the keys or preparing a property for the next occupant? Tell us what needs cleaning and when it must be completed.
When the removal van has left and the rooms are empty, the property may still need attention before a landlord, estate agent or new owner takes possession. We can discuss move-out cleaning alongside a house removal or property clearance, including how to coordinate access, cleaning requirements and the handover deadline.
Cleaning is not automatically included with a removal booking. The scope, availability, provider and charges must be confirmed in writing. This is particularly important for end-of-tenancy work, which can vary greatly according to the property's condition and tenancy agreement.
What kind of cleaning might be needed?
Kitchen cleaning
Kitchens may need attention to worktops, cupboard interiors, splashbacks and accessible surfaces. Ovens, extractors and appliances should be listed separately because intensive degreasing is a distinct task.
Bathrooms and WCs
Identify sanitary ware, taps, showers, screens, tiled areas and any specific limescale or mould concerns. Persistent mould or damaged surfaces may require a specialist assessment rather than ordinary cleaning.
Carpet and upholstery cleaning
Vacuuming is different from professional carpet extraction or stain treatment. Describe the carpet type, rooms, condition and stains if these services are needed.
End-of-tenancy handover
Provide the landlord's inventory or letting agent's cleaning checklist. We can discuss the work against that list, without promising a deposit refund or passing any inspection.
Post-clearance cleaning
When a full house clearance leaves a property ready for sale or refurbishment, a separately arranged clean may help prepare the premises for viewings or follow-on trades.
Scheduling a clean around moving day
A cleaning team normally needs unobstructed access, so it often makes sense to remove furniture and boxes first. However, key handover times, completion dates, working-hours restrictions and whether utilities remain connected can change the plan. If keys need to be returned at a fixed time, tell us before any quotation is prepared.
- Describe the property. Number of rooms, house or flat, floors, parking, access and whether it will be empty.
- Provide photographs and the condition. Highlight appliances, carpets, excessive dirt, mould or other issues rather than assuming a standard clean will cover them.
- Set out the required tasks. Supply an inventory, tenancy cleaning schedule or list of rooms and items needing attention.
- Agree timing and responsibility. Confirm availability, who is delivering the cleaning, access and the completion requirements before booking.
Specialist cleaning and exclusions
Oven cleaning, external windows at height, biohazards, pest infestations, flood damage, extensive mould treatment, industrial chemicals, builders' residue and specialist floor treatments should not be assumed to be part of a normal move-out clean. Such work may require specific equipment, qualifications and a separate contractor.
Transparent service scope: We will not advertise a fixed “deep clean” or promise a landlord-approved result without first agreeing the actual tasks and checking availability. If a separate cleaning contractor is required, the arrangement should be clear to the customer.
Cleaning with house removals or property clearance
For a complete home move, see our house removals service. If a property must be emptied in full before it is cleaned, see whole-house clearances. We can discuss how the work might be sequenced so that teams are not working around each other unnecessarily.
Ask about a cleaning quotation
Tell us the address, property size, room list, required standard, access and key handover date. You can send the details using our enquiry page or call 0330 666 55 44. A video walkthrough can help clarify the scope, but a written quotation is needed before any service is agreed.
Preparing a property for handover?
Send the scope, postcodes and dates so we can discuss the right arrangements.
