End of tenancy cleaning for Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats in Herne Hill
Most homes in Herne Hill are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats, and each type has its own cleaning challenges. Period terraces have sash windows, picture rails, original fireplaces and tiled hallways that collect dust. Letting agents in period conversions check skirting boards, sash window runners, fireplace surrounds and the kitchen extractor, so these are on our checklist as standard.
In conversions we pay extra attention to shared entrances, steep stairs and small kitchens where grease builds up fast. From streets near Brockwell Park and Lido to the quieter roads around them, our checklist stays the same.
Tips before your end of tenancy in Herne Hill
A little preparation helps your clean go smoothly and makes sure the time is spent where it matters most.

- If your landlord or agent flags anything, forward the report to us within 72 hours and we will return to Herne Hill to re-clean it free.
- Read your check-in inventory before we arrive and tell us about anything the agent noted, such as marks on walls or a stained carpet.
- Add carpet cleaning if your tenancy agreement asks for professionally cleaned carpets, and keep the receipt for your agent.
