Moving out
- Book the clean after furniture, IT and waste have gone
- Check the lease for specific handback cleaning obligations
- Include kitchens, washrooms, carpets, hard floors and internal glass
- Take dated photos of every room once finished
See end-of-lease cleaning and dilapidations for how this fits with the landlord's handback inspection.
Moving in
- Book after any fit-out works and the builders' clean, but before furniture arrives
- Clean inside cupboards, drawers and kitchen units
- Clean and sanitise washrooms and kitchens
- Vacuum or extract carpets and scrub hard floors
- Clean internal glass and high-level surfaces where dust collects
After furniture is installed
A light clean after the furniture and IT are installed removes packaging dust and debris before your first day.
Set up the regular contract
A move is the right moment to write a fresh cleaning specification for the new building, so the regular clean starts on day one at the right frequency.
