Last-minute handover cleaning in Tokyo
The walkthrough with your client or buyer has been booked, and the building is not yet ready to show. We prepare interiors for the final look, from plans or photos, at a fixed price confirmed before the visit.
The walkthrough is booked and the building is not ready
This usually happens when the schedule slips: the last trade finishes later than planned, and the cleaning that was meant to follow has nobody assigned. The walkthrough, though, was fixed weeks ago with a buyer, an owner or a design office. In that situation the useful first step is a clear answer, not a long proposal, so we tell you within 1 hour whether we can reach the building before the visit.
Seeing the building the way the inspector will
People on a walkthrough look at eye level and at what they touch. Glass and mirrors, door handles and switch plates, sills and frames, the kitchen sink and counters, the toilet and the bath, and the floor as they walk in. Our final pass follows the same path. We clean to what will be seen and touched first, then work through the less visible surfaces, so the time before the visit is spent where it counts. If you know which person on the walkthrough is the most particular, such as the owner’s representative or the buyer’s own inspector, tell us, and we pay extra attention to the areas that person usually checks.
What to send so we can answer quickly
The date and time of the walkthrough, the floor area or a plan, photos of the entrance, the kitchen, a bathroom and the room with the most dust, and how we get in. If the building has stairs only, or a lift that has to be booked, say so. If a trade is still working, tell us in which room, because we would rather plan around it than meet it on the day.
A checklist and photos made for the person who was not there
Often the contractor in charge cannot be at the walkthrough, or the buyer wants proof that the building was prepared. We finish with a detail pass against a checklist and take photos of the result. You receive them as a photo report after the visit, which you can forward to the client, the design office or the general contractor as evidence that the interior was prepared.
Homes, apartments and renovated rooms
In residential handovers the pressure points are the kitchen, the bathroom, the washroom and the toilet, plus every window and sash. We remove protective film, curing tape and stickers, wipe built-in cabinets, doors and frames, and clean the sanitary fixtures. For a renovated single room, such as a bathroom or a kitchen, the scope can be limited to that room, and the price is fixed for that scope.
Shops, clinics and offices
Commercial interiors add glass partitions, counters, shelving and large floor areas that show every footprint. We wipe and detail those surfaces, clean windows and glass, and sweep, vacuum and damp-mop the floors last. We do not strip wax or run polishing machines, so if the floor needs that treatment, we say so at the quote stage and you can plan it with the right specialist before the date.
What we do not claim
A last-minute clean improves what is on the surface; it cannot repair what is part of it. We do not remove cured paint or adhesive damage, fix scratches, strip or seal wax, clean HVAC ducts, haul industrial waste or deal with biohazards. If your photos show something like that, we tell you by message, so that you can decide whether to mention it at the walkthrough rather than be surprised by it.
If the client finds something on the day
Report anything missed within 24 hours, with a photo, and we re-clean it at no extra cost. This sits alongside the photo report, so there is a record of what the interior looked like when we left. It is a calm way to deal with the small items that every walkthrough turns up.
Entrances, stairs and shared areas
The first minutes of a walkthrough are spent at the entrance, on the stairs and in the corridor, long before anyone opens a cupboard. Entrance doors and their glass, the floor where people walk in, handrails, switch plates and the shared stair are cleaned as part of the scope when you include them. Tell us which shared areas belong to your project, and which are managed by someone else, so that we clean what is yours and leave the rest alone.
Telling us what has already been flagged
If an earlier inspection produced a list of points, send it. Items that are about cleaning, such as film left on a frame, dust inside a built-in cabinet or smudges on glass, go straight into our checklist. Items that are about repair or finish, such as a scratched surface, are not something cleaning can change, and we tell you so by message instead of letting you find out at the walkthrough.
Price, payment and area
The price is quoted per project, at a fixed amount agreed by message before the visit. We serve the 23 wards of Tokyo and Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma, and state travel cost beforehand outside the 23 wards. Pay by credit card, bank transfer, PayPay or cash, with invoices for business. We work in English and Japanese. Cancelling less than 24 hours before the visit costs 50%.
