Boldmere End of Tenancy Cleaning Above the Boldmere Road Shops
End of tenancy work in Boldmere centres on the flats converted above and behind the parade, with some subdivided villas nearer the top of the road. The 1930s semis and most villas change hands by sale more often than by let. B73 is covered on set days, so a handover here is booked ahead.
Those flats were carved out of what were originally shopkeepers’ living quarters and stockrooms, and it shows in the layouts. Kitchens fitted into rooms never intended for them, a bathroom with no window, a stair off a shared street door. They let quickly, turn over through the year with no single summer wave, and are almost always cleaned to an agent’s or a landlord’s checklist.

Extraction and light wells in a flat over a parade
A flat over a parade fails a check-out in ways a house does not. Extraction is the first: a kitchen vented into a light well or a rear yard never clears properly, so a greasy film settles on wall units and the ceiling above the hob, and a clerk photographs it. The bathroom is usually internal with a fan on a timer, which puts growth into the sealant and around the shower tray within a single tenancy. Ovens are typically a small single cavity, but a heavily used one in a compact kitchen is still the item that costs most deposits. And the communal stair everyone walks up on inspection day belongs to nobody at all.
- Kitchens carved into former stockrooms and living quarters, with extraction that vents into a light well and never really clears
- Internal bathrooms with a timed fan, where growth reaches the sealant well inside one tenancy
- Greasy film on wall units and the ceiling above the hob, which photographs badly on a check-out report
- Communal stairs and entrance glass that no individual tenancy covers, yet everyone walks through on inspection day
- Turnover spread across the calendar, with no summer changeover peak
Oven, extractor and bathroom first in a small flat
Where a check-in inventory exists we clean line by line against that document, and where none survives we use the standard clerk’s checklist. Kitchen first: oven cavity, racks and door glass, the hob and the extractor filter, then every cupboard inside and out, and the wall and ceiling surfaces above the hob that the grease has reached. The bathroom goes right back to grout and sealant. Every room is then detailed to skirtings, frames, switches and sills, and we photograph each one on completion for whoever receives the keys.
- Worked line by line off your check-in inventory wherever one can be sent over
- Degreasing of the wall and ceiling above the hob, not only the units, because that is what a light well kitchen leaves behind
- Bathroom taken back to grout and sealant, then the taps and screen descaled, since a windowless room on hard water does both
- Room-by-room completion photographs, for a check-out run by an agent who has never met us

Where the rented flats in B73 actually are
Within about two hundred metres of the Boldmere Road shops, in practice. Above the parade itself, in the yards and side buildings immediately behind it, and in a small number of the older villas nearer the top of the road that were subdivided into flats at some point in the last century. Further out, a let house among the 1930s streets or the villas is cleaned the same way, room by room against the inventory.
Size, condition and how far the grease has travelled
Size and condition, with the oven and the bathroom doing most of the moving. A one bedroom flat over a shop is commonly a half day, a two bedroom conversion with an awkward kitchen and a windowless bathroom rather more. What really changes the number here is how far the cooking grease has travelled beyond the hob, because that becomes wall and ceiling work, and whether the agreement calls for hot water extraction on the carpet. We can invoice the landlord, the agent or a management company directly and get the completion photographs across to whoever runs the inspection.
Booking a Boldmere Road flat well ahead of the clerk
Once per tenancy, whenever the let ends. The timing constraint in Boldmere is our diary, since nothing here moves in a seasonal block. Give us a week or two once the handover date is confirmed and we will place it on one of the set days we give Boldmere. Ringing the afternoon before the clerk arrives will not work on a scheduled day.
Absolutely brilliant service. Adefem was professional, job well done. Everything was left beautifully clean, and I was genuinely impressed.

Frequently asked questions
Mostly flats. The flats around the Boldmere Road shops turn over steadily, and they make up almost all of the rented stock. Let houses among the 1930s semis and villas come up too, and are cleaned the same way.
Yes, as a separate line and usually for a separate payer. The stair, the entrance glass and the letterbox hall are not covered by any one tenancy, so they are typically the freeholder’s or the landlord’s. If the freeholder or landlord agrees, it can go on the same visit, which is the tidiest arrangement for everyone.
It can be, which is unfair but real. A flat over a parade with a kitchen vented into a light well accumulates a greasy film on the units and the ceiling regardless of how carefully the tenant cooked. We degrease those surfaces properly, and we will tell you if what remains is staining in old paintwork, which no cleaning removes.
It can be. The supply here is hard South Staffs water, not the soft Elan Valley water Birmingham gets, so a clerk in B73 can write down scale on the taps and the shower screen as well as soap film and sealant mould. Concentrate on the oven, the extractor filter and the fridge seals, which are still the items that genuinely cost deposits in a flat this size.
Yes, and with the Boldmere Road flats that is normally how it runs anyway. We take instruction from the agent or the landlord, clean to their checklist, invoice them directly, with the room by room photographs going to whoever holds the inspection. If the deadline is tight, tell us early so it can go on the nearest Boldmere booking day.
