Plan the right appointment
What to Know Before Booking
An empty property offers a useful opportunity to clean storage, fixtures and floor edges before rooms become harder to reach. It is also the right time to identify residue left in kitchens and bathrooms, rather than discovering it while unpacking. Share recent photographs and explain whether the previous occupants have fully left.
A move-in clean is different from cleaning after building work. Fine renovation dust, paint residue and fresh finishes may need a separate after-builders assessment. If contractors are still attending, arrange the sequence first so cleaned areas are not immediately soiled again.
A defined scope
What Does Move In Cleaning Cover?
Use this guide to discuss the work you need. The written booking should identify the accepted tasks, accessible areas and any additional services, with limitations explained before the appointment.
| Area or requirement | What to discuss | Important boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen storage | Clean accessible empty cupboards, shelves, drawers and exterior doors within the agreed scope. | Leave storage empty until the clean is finished. |
| Food preparation areas | Address worktops, splashbacks, sinks, taps and hob surfaces with suitable products. | Tell us about natural stone and delicate finishes. |
| Bathrooms | Clean sanitaryware, screens, mirrors and reachable tiled surfaces; address removable residue. | Cleaning does not repair grout, silicone or etched glass. |
| Living and sleeping areas | Dust accessible surfaces, reachable fittings, door frames and skirting boards. | Fabric treatments and heavy furniture movement are separate. |
| Flooring | Vacuum and clean suitable accessible hard flooring and edges. | Specialist carpet extraction must be quoted and may need drying. |
| Appliances and glazing | Agree the individual appliance interiors and reachable internal windows you need cleaned. | Oven deep cleaning and exterior windows are additional services. |
Clear pricing
Move In Cleaning Prices
The starting price comes from our published price list. It is a guide to the entry price, not a fixed charge for every property, appliance or item.
The final quote should reflect the work described, condition, size, access and any separately requested services. Send current photographs and practical details rather than relying on a room count or service name alone.
Ask for the total, applicable VAT, exclusions and any access or transport charges in writing. Do not treat an unconfirmed extra as included or assume an urgent appointment is available.
| Booking detail | Price or arrangement |
|---|---|
| Move In Cleaning | From £109 |
| Final scope and access | Confirmed before booking |
| Other services | Quoted separately |
Before the appointment
How to Prepare
- Collect keys and confirm the property is vacant before booking the visit.
- Schedule furniture deliveries and unpacking after the clean wherever possible.
- Keep cupboards and appliances empty and identify any defrosting required.
- Make water, electricity, parking and entry instructions available.
- Explain recent decorating, building work or delicate new finishes.
Keep a contact available during the appointment. Tell the team about changes to the condition, access, items or requested work before arrival so the plan can be reviewed.
Useful detail
Plan the clean before unpacking
The most effective sequence is access, cleaning, drying where required, then deliveries and unpacking. Even a small number of boxes can hide floor edges and prevent cupboards from opening fully. If furniture must be delivered on the same day, discuss the timing and keep a clear working route through the property.
Newly installed surfaces need particular care. Fresh grout, sealant, paint and some floor treatments may have curing requirements set by the installer. Tell the team what is new and provide the relevant care instructions. A general cleaning booking should not assume every new material can be scrubbed or treated immediately.

Your questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Practical answers about move in cleaning, preparation and booking.
Should I book before moving my furniture in?
That normally gives the clearest access to floors, cupboards and fixtures. Confirm keys first and allow time for the agreed work and any drying before deliveries.
How much does move-in cleaning cost?
The published starting price is £109. Size, condition, furnishing, bathrooms and specialist additions determine the final quote, which should be agreed before the appointment.
Can you clean a furnished property?
Accessible furnished properties can be discussed when booking. Explain what remains and clear personal possessions so the team can assess the reachable areas and any extra fabric work.
Do you clean after renovation work?
Renovation dust and builders’ residue require a separate assessment. Tell us about the work completed, remaining contractors and new finishes before choosing the service.
Are appliance interiors included?
List the fridge, freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and other appliances you want considered. Their internal scope must be agreed; specialist oven deep cleaning is separately priced.
Can I unpack while the cleaners work?
Unpacking can restrict access and reintroduce dust. It is better to agree a sequence beforehand and keep the areas being cleaned clear.
What do I need to provide?
Provide working water, electricity and reliable access. The cleaning team brings equipment and products for the booked tasks; flag delicate materials and sensitivities in advance.
Will the property be completely sterile?
No. This is a cleaning service, not a sterile-environment certification or a guarantee about hidden contamination. Discuss any unusual contamination separately before booking.
