Move-in clean checklist for Shortlands homes
Every move-in cleaning job in Shortlands 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.
- Kitchen cupboards, drawers and shelves cleaned inside and out before you fill them.
- 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 1920s and 30s semi-detached houses and bungalows in Shortlands
Homes across Shortlands are mainly 1920s and 30s semi-detached houses and bungalows. Suburban semis usually mean three or four bedrooms, a through-lounge, a conservatory and a garage or utility room. Our teams plan each visit around the property, not a one-size-fits-all routine. Family houses need the oven, garage or utility room, conservatory and every bathroom ready for the inventory, so we clean all of them, not just the main rooms.
We bring enough cleaners to handle larger homes in one visit, and we include conservatory glass and patio doors when asked.
Tips before your move-in clean in Shortlands
These simple steps help our Shortlands team get the best result in the time booked.
- Add carpet cleaning if the previous occupant had pets.
- Take meter readings before you move in.
- Check parking and access in Shortlands for moving day and for our team.
- Leaving another rental? Book an end of tenancy clean for your old home at the same time.

Most homes have a driveway or free street parking, with pay-and-display around Bromley town centre. You do not need to be at home: many customers leave a key or a lockbox code, and we message you when the clean is finished. Our move-in clean teams also work across nearby Bromley (BR1), Beckenham (BR3), Orpington (BR5), Chislehurst (BR7), Biggin Hill (TN16) and Penge (SE20), so if you are moving between neighbourhoods we can clean both homes on the same day.
