Move-in cleaning for Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats in Barnsbury
We clean a lot of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats in Barnsbury N1. 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 its Georgian squares to the quieter roads around them, our checklist stays the same.
