Move-in cleaning for Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats in Kennington
We clean a lot of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats in Kennington SE11. 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. We know the area around Kennington Park well.

- 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.

- Take meter readings before you move in.
