In terms of what is end of tenancy cleaning – then, in short, it’s completing a final deep-clean after a tenant or occupier has vacated a property ready for someone else to take over, according to any lease or tenancy obligations.
You can certainly do yourself, with tips here on our blog for carrying out end of tenancy cleaning effectively. However, we often get called in to finish things off nicely.
Whatever interest you hold, we can help this cleaning-up exercise as one tenant leaves, and another is about to arrive.
Who’s Involved
This is often for landlords and property owners direct, or their appointed managing agents and estate agents eager to progress with re-lettings.
It can also be for tenants direct, often the one who is preparing to vacate and wants us to take the strain away from handing back the property spik and span, but we can also work with new incoming tenants and help prepare for their use.
All End of Cleaning Covered
This covers all forms of tenancies/leases and cleaning services, whether regular longer-term AST lets or more short term stays and even hostels through intermediaries like Airbnb.
Whether it’s a real mess requiring a full deep clean at the same time, or a quick change-around – we cover all end of tenancy cleaning around Birmingham, the Black Country, and the West Midlands.
Plus – all sizes and type of properties and leases and tenancies, from small studio flats and apartments, to large 5-bedroom detached houses with additional outbuildings and garages.
Getting Right on Time
We know that timing is key, with things to happen ready for handover and still work with the practicalities of one occupier leaving and other parties like agents being involved.
In regards to how long does end of tenancy cleaning take - it’s usually within a few hours, and once we can have access and be clear on what needs doing, then we’ll soon get on with things.
We can work around the clock, accommodate any access requirements and needs, and cause minimal fuss as we clean things up nicely.
Knowing The Right Basis
The key to end of tenancy cleaning will often be the tenancy agreement, and what it states the tenant should and should not need to clean (check out our full end of tenancy cleaning tips here).
You often have an Inventory or Schedule of Condition stating the agreed condition that it was taken on – an important document we can work to in terms of knowing what’s included and what is not.
We can provide a clear Cleaning Schedule and reporting basis to ensure everything is correctly completed and logged. We’ll also make sure any nasty surprises are communicated and resolved as far as possible, as often we come across hidden personal items.
Even though a vacating-tenant may complete a reasonable clean, we know that standards are high for landlords and new occupiers so we’ll help gauge this and be called in for any emergency additional cleans as well.
Hey, we can even go the extra mile and help spot any damaged parts and broken furniture or ornaments - even help get the right décor and ‘staging’ items presented in any new lets.
Doing the Right End of Tenancy Basis in Birmingham & West Midlands
In terms of what an end of tenancy clean includes and a form of a checklist, here’s the usual sort of things involved:
• Focus on those areas with high impacts, like the front door, mirrors and glass, and limescale build-up on taps and sinks (particularly so with Covid-19 and other requirements).
• All hidden areas like kitchen cupboards, shelves, curtains and upholstery, and underneath all furniture
• Essential areas like bathroom suites, fridges and freezers, and any appliances like microwaves
• Usual items such as floors vacuumed, mopped, or swept, and all areas wiped and freshened up. These include skirting boards at a low level, window and door frames at mid-level, and ceiling areas and curtain rails at a high level.
• Inclusion of any additional areas, such as basements and storage cupboards, garages, and external patio and car park areas
• Any additional cleans considered over and above normal requirements, for example, full carpet clean and oven clean, and any actual wall surfaces.
Once we have the final checklist agreed with clients, we’ll explain any preparation beforehand to make things even easier on the day, for example removing items from cupboards, and the freezer is defrosted.
