Finsbury Park · Handover Scope
End of Tenancy Cleaning in Finsbury Park
Finsbury Park’s framework distinguishes terrace areas, Fonthill Road retail and former industrial premises in other uses. Identify tenancy rooms, retained contents and the actual accommodation and permitted entrance route. We agree the accessible handover work and list appliance interiors explicitly.

End of Tenancy Cleaning
Resolve the building route before the cleaning date
| Arrangement | What we establish | Who should confirm it |
|---|---|---|
| Entry and permission to attend | The person booking supplies the property address and the authorised way to enter. If a reception or concierge team controls entry, the booking contact needs to establish any applicable visitor procedure in advance. Confirm the permitted entrance and who can admit the team before relying on the cleaning appointment. | The tenant, landlord or managing agent provides the actual building instructions. |
| Lift and equipment route | Where the property is above ground level, we ask about lift availability, stairs and any equipment restrictions. A reserved moving slot is not automatically a cleaning slot. If the route changes after a removal company has used it, the revised arrangement needs to be shared so the cleaner can reach the property as planned. | The building manager confirms any access window or restriction applicable to the visit. |

Turn the inventory into a cleaning list
| Handover detail | Our cleaning scope decision | Boundary to retain |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory and room schedule | Send the relevant cleaning requirements from the inventory or agent checklist before the quote is finalised. We match them to the actual rooms and available access, identifying ambiguous entries such as professional clean or appliances included. A list of furnishings also helps distinguish an empty property from one containing landlord-owned furniture. | The cleaner follows the agreed work schedule; the inventory clerk makes their own independent assessment. |
| Move-out condition | Photographs and an honest description of the condition help us assess the workload. If belongings will remain in cupboards or a removal company will still be packing, say so. Cleaning an accessible empty cupboard is different from emptying, sorting and replacing someone’s possessions, and those distinctions affect what can be completed. | Rubbish clearance, packing and item removal are not automatically part of the tenancy cleaning scope. |

Kitchen, bathrooms and the remaining property
| Part of the property | Tasks to specify | Scope detail |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen cupboards and appliances | The kitchen brief identifies accessible worktops, sink, splashbacks and the internal or external cupboard surfaces included. List each appliance interior separately, including whether a fridge or freezer will be empty and ready. We plan the sequence around the booked appliance work rather than assuming every integrated unit can be disconnected or pulled out. | Doors and accessible surfaces are cleaned as agreed; disconnection and repair remain separate. |
| Bathrooms and shower rooms | We work through the included sanitary fittings and suitable surrounding surfaces, taking account of the material and visible condition. The brief can identify shower screens, taps, basins and other accessible details that need attention for handover. Failed seals, etched finishes and damaged grout are distinguished from removable surface deposits. | The service addresses cleaning within reach and specification, not restoration of defective bathroom materials. |
| Bedrooms, living room and circulation areas | The agreed accessible surfaces, skirting areas and floor finishes are addressed according to the room list. Where furniture remains, identify the accessible space beneath or around it rather than assuming unrestricted movement. Internal glazing, balcony doors and any balcony surface need an explicit decision about what side or area is included. | Common corridors and the building lobby are outside the private-property clean unless separately contracted. |

The order from vacancy to final review
| Dependency | How we organise the clean | What to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Removal work finished | The best working brief tells us when the property becomes available for uninterrupted cleaning. If large items are still being moved, we need to know which rooms remain usable. Dirt introduced after a room has been finished is a different event from an unfinished cleaning task, so the timing of other contractors matters. | Do not assume that simultaneous packing and whole-property cleaning can proceed without affecting access. |
| Wet areas and appliance tasks | Kitchen and bathroom work is organised with suitable products and equipment for the actual surfaces. Appliance parts and removable items are handled only where their removal is appropriate and included. Floors are finished with consideration for the route out, reducing the need to retrace a cleaned area while carrying equipment. | Appliance cleaning is not permission to undertake electrical work or dismantle inaccessible mechanisms. |
End of Tenancy Cleaning
Separate cleaning from the other move-out jobs
| Request | How it is treated | Why it is separate |
|---|---|---|
| Carpet or sofa treatment | Vacuuming agreed floor areas is different from extraction cleaning a fitted carpet or treating a landlord’s sofa. Tell us the number of rooms, fabric details and known stains when requesting an additional service. We can then identify that work within the quote instead of describing every visible mark as covered by a general tenancy clean. | Material suitability, treatment method and drying requirements need their own assessment. |
| Repairs and replacement | Broken handles, failed light fittings, damaged silicone and scratches to flooring remain repair or maintenance matters. We flag an obvious issue that affects cleaning, but a room’s cleaner cannot certify the condition of all appliances and installations. Where the inventory lists damage, the clean should not be presented as a solution to that damage. | Different trades and the property owner handle work beyond the cleaning specification. |
| Terraces, external glazing and shared space | An apartment’s exterior or shared building area is not automatically available to an individual cleaner. Balconies, exterior window faces and communal corridors may involve access restrictions or another responsible party. We discuss only the requested areas and confirm their suitability instead of extending a flat booking to an entire building. | The property boundary and permitted access determine what can be quoted. |

Price the property and the specified workload
| Property basis | Starting amount | Information needed for the quote |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or one-bedroom property | A studio clean starts from £140 per property; a one-bedroom property starts from £238 per property. These starting amounts relate to the stated property category rather than the number of floors in the building. Tell us the bathroom count, condition and appliance list so the quote reflects the property being handed over. | Supply photographs where the layout or cleaning condition is difficult to explain in a room count. |
| Larger property | A two-bedroom property starts from £275 per property, a three-bedroom property from £337 per property and a four-bedroom property from £472 per property. Extra bathrooms, extensive glazing or unusual room arrangements should be described individually. The bedroom label alone cannot communicate the full workload or the practical route through a furnished home. | List the actual spaces instead of assuming that all properties in one price category are identical. |
| Bedroom in a flatshare | From £99 per room. | Identify the selected bedroom and any separately requested shared areas; this category is not a whole-property handover price. |

Tenancy-cleaning questions before handover
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Which window faces should be named for the handover if people must pass through the cleaned rooms afterwards? | Identify the requested inside and outside glass faces, with their positions and the access available to each. Show the route needed for the final exit or remaining handover arrangements through the accommodation. Exterior glazing or shared-building windows should not be inferred from an individual accommodation’s general cleaning checklist. Further movement should be discussed separately from the work completed, not hidden inside a checkout promise. |
| How should storage that remains locked be treated in the handover if reaching the surfaces would disturb private storage? | Identify the locked units and confirm which surrounding accessible surfaces are requested without assuming their contents will be made available. Identify what remains private before the handover list is turned into an accessible cleaning specification. A room’s presence on a checkout list does not authorise opening private storage or removing someone else’s belongings. Belongings left behind are not automatically waste and should not be removed without a separate arrangement. |
| What should the written tenancy-cleaning specification make clear when entry to the requested rooms involves lower-ground steps? | Identify the selected accommodation, requested interior tasks and separately assessed additions together with the practical admission and vacancy arrangements. Identify the lower-level accommodation and the permitted entrance used for its handover clean. A usable specification should explain the work rather than rely on an unrestricted phrase such as everything included. The property category should not obscure a separate access arrangement below the main doorway. |
| How do inventory descriptions become a practical cleaning list when the selected rooms occupy different floors? | Share the relevant checklist and explain which rooms, retained furnishings and accessible surfaces its descriptions refer to. List the handover rooms by level and identify the staircase connecting that accommodation. The agreed clean should follow identifiable work items rather than interpret every inventory note as a cleaning instruction. The bedroom category does not describe every landing, bathroom or retained item across floors. |
| How should a particular checkout concern be highlighted if the home has its own entrance beside a shop? | Point out the specific accessible surfaces needing attention and share the relevant checklist wording or condition photographs. Give the flat’s unit details and distinguish its rooms from the adjoining trading premises. The concern can then inform the agreed work without being turned into a promise about every possible inspection issue. The handover list should follow the actual accommodation, not everything behind a shared address. |
