- 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 Harringay
We clean a lot of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats in Harringay N4, N8. 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. Whether you live near the Harringay Ladder and Green Lanes or on a quiet residential street, the standard is the same.
Tips before your move-in clean in Harringay
A little preparation helps your clean go smoothly and makes sure the time is spent where it matters most.
- Line kitchen drawers and shelves after the clean if you like, as everything will be dry and fresh.
- Change the locks and test smoke alarms on moving day.
- 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.
