How much does it cost?
This service is quoted by message. Please tell us about your property and we will reply within 1 hour.
Why empty is better
With no furniture in the way, we can reach every surface and clean cupboards, closets and floors without moving anything. Once your boxes arrive, the same job takes longer and some areas are missed.
Timing
Please book for the day after the key handover and before your movers arrive. Let us know how we can access the home and whether the utilities are on.
Why start with a clean home
Even a flat that looks tidy has been used by someone else, and the places nobody sees are usually the least clean: inside kitchen cupboards and drawers, behind the fridge space, on top of wardrobes, inside the bathroom ventilation cover and in the drain. Cleaning before your furniture arrives lets us reach every surface, move nothing and avoid working around boxes. It also means that the first night in your new home starts with a space that feels like yours, rather than a list of small jobs waiting in the first week.
What the clean covers
We clean the kitchen including the inside of cupboards and drawers, the bathroom and toilet, basin and mirrors, switches and door handles, the insides of wardrobes and shelves, and the floors. Because previous tenants leave very different conditions, the price is quoted by size and condition: send the floor plan and a few photos and we confirm the scope and number of cleaners by message. If you also want the air conditioner cleaned, we can schedule that in the same visit, so you can switch it on for the first time without worrying about the filter.
Timing around keys, utilities and movers
Aim for the day after you receive the keys and the day before the movers arrive. Electricity and water must be connected for the visit, so please arrange utility start dates beforehand, which is often the only item people forget. If the movers have already delivered, we can still clean, but we will work around furniture and some areas may be less accessible. Bookings need at least 24 hours of notice, and moving seasons in March and September fill quickly, so book early.
Pairing move-in cleaning with other services
Move-in cleaning is often combined with other tasks that are easier before furniture arrives. Air conditioner cleaning means you can switch on a clean unit on the first hot night. A kitchen deep clean removes grease and odours from a previous tenant before you start cooking. A bathroom deep clean deals with silicone and drains. We can schedule these in the same visit or a connected visit and quote them together by message. If you are moving out of one home and into another, we can also arrange the move-out clean of the old flat on a nearby date.
