End of Tenancy Cleaning for Cotteridge Semis and Parade Flats
Rented homes in Cotteridge sit in a few clear groups, and each tenancy ends on its own date, so a move-out clean here is booked around one handover and can usually be fitted within the week.
The lets that do exist fall into a few groups: flats and maisonettes above the Pershore Road parade, semis let out by families who moved and kept the house, commuter lets close to Kings Norton station, and probate properties being handed to an agent. The standard is the same for all of them. We clean to the checklist an inventory clerk actually works from, whichever of those you happen to be dealing with.

The cooker alcove, the bay and the garage on a let semi
A let 1930s semi fails a check-out in places a flat simply does not. The oven is first everywhere, and here it is usually a freestanding cooker in a rear kitchen under a recirculating hood, so the grease is on the wall and the ceiling as well as inside the door. Then the bay: internal sills and reveals in a front bay are wide, sit in full daylight and photograph badly, which makes them a reliable mark down. Add the garage, which appears on plenty of Cotteridge inventories and needs emptying by the tenant before it can be swept and cleaned.
- Freestanding cookers in rear kitchens with recirculating hoods, so grease coats the wall and ceiling as well as the oven
- Wide internal bay sills and reveals sitting in full daylight, which check-out photographs pick up immediately
- Side garages listed on the inventory, which need emptying before the check-out and then sweeping out
- Long-let semis whose hall, stairs and landing carpet has taken years of continuous traffic
- Grout and sealant in the small upstairs bathroom, where soft water means mould, not scale
Cleaning against your check-in inventory
Send us the check-in inventory and we clean against that document instead of a generic list. The kitchen comes first because that is where deposits go, and in these houses that means the wall and ceiling above the cooker, not only the oven cavity. Bay reveals and internal sills get a dedicated pass of their own. Garages and side passages are swept and cleaned, once empty, where the inventory lists them. Carpets are extracted last where the agreement calls for it, and we will check whether yours does.
- Cleaned against your check-in inventory wherever you are able to send it over
- The wall and ceiling above a freestanding cooker treated as part of the oven job, not as an extra
- Bay reveals and internal sills given their own pass, since that is what the clerk photographs
- Garage and side passage included where the inventory lists them

Where the changeovers are in Cotteridge
Rented homes here sit in three pockets. The flats and maisonettes over the shops on the Pershore Road, which turn over fastest. The streets within walking distance of Kings Norton station, where commuter lets change when a job changes. And individual semis anywhere in the area that a family chose to let instead of selling. Dates spread through the year, so a slot within a few days is normally possible, and being ten minutes from base makes a tight handover date manageable.
From a parade flat to a long-let semi: what sets the quote
Size and condition set it, and the spread here is wide because the properties are. A one bedroom flat above the parade is a half day. A three bedroom semi with a bay front and back, a garage on the inventory and ten years of the same tenant is a different job entirely, and quoting them off one table would mislead. The oven is the biggest single variable anywhere, and a freestanding cooker with a greased wall behind it can add hours by itself. After that it is the bathroom sealant, the state of the stair carpet, and whether extraction is required.
Booking a Cotteridge changeover with little notice
One clean at the end of each tenancy. Cotteridge changeovers are scattered through the year, so a few days of notice is usually enough and a slot within the week is normally possible. If your handover date is fixed, tell us as soon as you know it, together with the check-out time.
Excellent job, highly recommended.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. The flats above the Pershore Road parade, commuter lets near Kings Norton station and family semis that were let out are each booked as a one-off like any other job, and with Selly Oak ten minutes away, dates are rarely hard to find.
Yes, where it is on the inventory, and on these houses it often is. Swept out, cobwebs down, oil dealt with. It needs to be empty first: we do not remove belongings or waste, so anything the outgoing tenant left behind has to go before we start.
Yes, and with a freestanding cooker under a recirculating hood it is not optional. The grease goes onto the wall and up onto the ceiling, and a clerk looking at a spotless oven in a greasy alcove will still write it up. We treat the whole alcove as one job.
Read the agreement, because a good number specify it. In a semi that has been let for years the hall, stairs and landing usually need it whether the wording demands it or not, since that is the run every tenant used daily. Extraction is quoted on a line of its own, and we will put in writing that it was done.
Usually within a few days, and often sooner. Cotteridge is ten minutes from our Selly Oak base and there is no local changeover season competing for the slot, so a tight handover date is rarely a problem.
