Move-in and move-out cleaning
What the service includes, what it costs and how to start
A unit is handed over and taken back on a record: the outgoing tenant has to return it in the condition they received it, and the incoming one has to get a clean space. We work for either side and record the condition in photographs, before and after.

Eight blocks of the method statement. Hover over a block for the tasks and the stage they belong to. The final list depends on what was recorded at the survey.
Survey and condition record
The difference from ordinary cleaning: the work is driven by the record. First we record what is there, then we clean, then we record what it became — and all of it goes with the handover of the unit.

Which sites
The service is for whoever hands a unit over or takes it back — and needs cleanliness on record, not a general impression.
Handover report record
This is what the handover record looks like: what was done, what was noted and what cleaning cannot fix. A sample follows.

How it works
From enquiry to the crew on site — one to three working days. Urgent handovers are taken on for the next day.
We come out, photograph the condition, and separate what cleaning will fix from what it won’t.
Scope by area, duration, crew size and a fixed price. For urgent handovers, within the day.
Clearing the unit, marks left by the previous tenant, floors, glazing and services.
Walk-round with the landlord or property manager, photographs after, the signed record and keys against a list.
Control
and oversight
Four mechanisms that make quality something you can check, not something we claim.
Price
estimate
Set the floor area and the type of site — a price range, crew size and duration appear on the right. The exact figure is worked out after the survey.
Terms and equipment
What the contract fixes and what the crew brings to site.

Frequently asked questions
Tap a question to open the answer.
In the scope and in what it is for. A deep clean happens on a working site and returns it to working order. Handover cleaning is done in an empty unit and ends with a signed record: marks left by the previous tenant come off — stickers, logos, furniture marks, brackets — and the condition before and after is recorded in photographs.
Both. The outgoing tenant books it to hand the unit back and settle the deposit question. The landlord or property manager books it to get the unit ready for viewings and the next tenant. We work with either side, and the record is always signed by whoever booked the work.
Honestly: nobody can guarantee a deposit is returned — that decision is the landlord’s. What we give you is the condition on record: photographs of every area before and after, and a sheet listing the work. That removes the argument about what state the unit was handed back in. Damage that cleaning cannot remove is noted separately, so it isn’t put down to the cleaning.
Furniture marks on floors and walls come off in most cases. Screw holes, chips and dents are repairs, not cleaning: we note them on the record and point them out at the survey, so you can decide in advance whether to fill them or leave them.
Usually yes. An office up to 500 m² takes one shift; larger areas take two. Urgent handovers are taken on for the next day at a premium. We give you the exact timing at the survey, before the contract is signed, so you can agree it with both sides.
Repairs and filling holes, painting, replacing coverings, taking furniture and equipment off site, pest control. Moving left-behind items to the building’s collection point is done by agreement; taking them off site goes through a licensed operator.
