- Bathrooms sanitised, with limescale removed from taps, tiles and screens.

Move-in cleaning for modern apartments and new-build blocks in Royal Docks
Most homes in Royal Docks are modern apartments and new-build blocks, and each type has its own cleaning challenges. New-build flats have open-plan kitchens, glass showers, hard floors and lots of chrome and glossy surfaces. Agents for new-build flats check glass showers, extractor filters, integrated appliances and balcony doors, so we clean all of these as standard.
We book lifts, fobs and concierge access ahead, and use streak-free methods on glass, gloss and stainless steel. We know the area around Royal Victoria Dock and the cable car well.
Tips before your move-in clean in Royal Docks
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 Royal Docks for moving day and for our team.
