- Bathrooms sanitised, with limescale removed from taps, tiles and screens.
- Wardrobes and built-in storage cleaned inside.
- Skirting boards, doors, frames, handles, switches and sockets wiped.
- Windows, sills and frames wiped inside.
- Floors vacuumed and mopped throughout.
Move-in cleaning for 1920s and 30s semi-detached houses and bungalows in East Sheen
Most homes in East Sheen are 1920s and 30s semi-detached houses and bungalows, and each type has its own cleaning challenges. Suburban semis usually mean three or four bedrooms, a through-lounge, a conservatory and a garage or utility room. Family houses need the oven, garage or utility room, conservatory and every bathroom ready for the inventory, so we clean all of them, not just the main rooms.
We bring enough cleaners to handle larger homes in one visit, and we include conservatory glass and patio doors when asked. From streets near Sheen Gate into Richmond Park to the quieter roads around them, our checklist stays the same.
Tips before your move-in clean in East Sheen
A little preparation helps your clean go smoothly and makes sure the time is spent where it matters most.
- Ask the agent or seller for appliance manuals so you know how to use them once they are clean.
- Add carpet cleaning if the previous occupant had pets.
- Take meter readings before you move in.
- Check parking and access in East Sheen for moving day and for our team.
