Move-in clean checklist for Forest Gate homes
Every move-in cleaning job in Forest Gate follows a written, room-by-room checklist, so nothing depends on memory. Before we start, we walk through the property with you or your agent and adjust the list to suit it.

- Oven, hob, fridge and other appliances wiped inside and out.
- 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 Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats in Forest Gate
We clean a lot of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats in Forest Gate E7. 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 Wanstead Flats to the quieter roads around them, our checklist stays the same.
Tips before your move-in clean in Forest Gate
These simple steps help our Forest Gate team get the best result in the time booked.
- 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 Forest Gate for moving day and for our team.
