Move-in clean checklist for Plumstead homes
Every move-in cleaning job in Plumstead 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 Plumstead
Most homes in Plumstead are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats, and each type has its own cleaning challenges. 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 Plumstead Common to the quieter roads around them, our checklist stays the same.
