End of Tenancy Cleaning in Handsworth

What a check-out catches on a B21 rented terrace

What a check-out catches in this stock is consistent enough to plan for. The cooker and the hood come first, and in a house let room by room there is often one cooker doing the work of three. Then the bathroom, where the residue is mould in silicone and film on the screen, not scale, because the supply has always been soft. Then the details a clerk photographs: door heads, the deep reveals of the bay, and the passage hall that every tenant dragged furniture along. Long tenancies are the other local pattern. A family that stayed eight years hands back a property needing a genuine reset, not a tidy.

• Licensed property expected to meet a standard, by a handover date somebody else already set
• One cooker and one bathroom that have served several separate lets under the same roof
• Long family tenancies ending after years, leaving a reset rather than a wipe over
• Mould in silicone and grout instead of scale, since the water here is soft
• Agents and owners who need an invoice and a room-by-room record, not a handshake

Cleaning to the inventory, cooker slot included

We clean to a document, not to a general idea of clean: your check-in inventory where one exists, otherwise the checklist a clerk actually carries. The kitchen leads, because that is where money is lost. The cooker inside and out, its racks and door glass, the hob, the hood and its filter, the narrow slot the cooker sits in, all cupboards inside and out, and the seals on both fridge and freezer. The bathroom is taken back to grout and silicone. Rooms are then detailed floor by floor, and the hall and the stairs are left until last so nothing is trodden over twice.

• Worked against your check-in inventory wherever the managing agent can supply one
• The cooker, the hood and its filter all inside the price, never added on afterwards
• Photographs of every room as it is finished, for an owner signing off from elsewhere
• Each let in a divided house quoted and cleaned as a property in its own right

Voids on licensed B21 property

The rented stock here sits on the terraces behind the Soho Road, the streets bordering Handsworth Park, and the divided houses along Hamstead Road. Where the client is an organisation, we work the way organisations need: named contact, itemised invoice, a date we hold to. Void weeks are the simplest weeks to work here, with the house empty, equipment able to come straight in and the front door on the latch while we unload. If a licensing inspection is due as well as a handover, say so and the hours get weighted towards what an inspector looks at.

Staircases, the cooker and belongings left behind

Condition drives the figure more than bedroom count, though in a three-storey house the staircases and landings absorb hours nobody thinks to count. The cooker moves the number more than anything else. Next: bathroom count, the depth mould has reached in the silicone, whether carpets are extracted on the same visit, and whether belongings have been left behind, which is more likely on an abandoned tenancy than an agreed one. A fixed figure comes back from your photographs and it stands. Owners and agents are invoiced directly, and anybody turning over several properties a year can have them all on one account.

One clean per tenancy, in whatever month it ends

One clean per tenancy, and here that can fall in any month. Room-by-room lets change hands several times a year, and the communal parts deserve a proper clean at each change, not only when the last person goes. Family lets run much longer, so the clean at the end of one is a bigger job than the gap suggests. Book once the handover date is confirmed, not the week before, because Handsworth work runs on scheduled days.
