End of Tenancy Cleaning in Stanmore
Stanmore Hill’s appraisal distinguishes a tighter terraced core from more open residential development on sloping streets. Identify tenancy rooms, retained contents and the entrance, steps and selected room levels. 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. |

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 details need updating after a handover-schedule change if people must pass through the cleaned rooms afterwards? | Tell us which room-release or key arrangements have changed and how that affects the areas ready for cleaning. Show the route needed for the final exit or remaining handover arrangements through the accommodation. A revised date should not leave an outdated assumption about vacancy, appliance readiness or who can admit the cleaner. 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 large furniture blocks the requested cleaning area? | Identify the locked units and confirm which surrounding accessible surfaces are requested without assuming their contents will be made available. List the retained pieces on the handover brief and distinguish their surrounding accessible room surfaces. A room’s presence on a checkout list does not authorise opening private storage or removing someone else’s belongings. Specialist fabric treatment or heavy relocation remains separate from a general furnished-property cleaning request. |
| What should be explained about a separate outside entrance when entry to the requested rooms involves lower-ground steps? | Show which entrance belongs to the accommodation and distinguish the permitted private approach from neighbouring or shared areas. Identify the lower-level accommodation and the permitted entrance used for its handover clean. A clear property boundary helps describe the requested handover without implying authority over the whole site or building. The property category should not obscure a separate access arrangement below the main doorway. |
| How should the cleaning proposal be compared with the checkout list when different rooms are needed at different times? | Match the requested rooms and specific tasks to the proposed scope, noting any checklist item that needs separate discussion. Explain when each room will become clear for cleaning before the outgoing keys are returned. A broad tenancy-cleaning label should not conceal an omitted appliance, outside surface or specialist fabric treatment request. Different release times need a practical plan rather than an assumption of simultaneous vacancy everywhere. |
| Which changes should be reported after the original move-out enquiry if a room remains occupied for home working? | Explain altered vacancy, retained contents or surface condition affecting the accommodation and tasks described in the original handover request. Clarify whether the working room will be vacated before the agreed handover cleaning begins. The appointment should follow the actual property arrangements rather than photographs or access information that have become outdated. An occupied desk area should not be treated as empty accommodation simply because departure is planned. |

| Your actual service brief | Share the property size, move-out date, inventory checklist and appliance list. Include the full postcode, the correct entrance and photographs of the selected areas. Identify shared spaces or another person who controls access so the requested work stays within the authorised property boundary. |
