Lozells Deep Cleaning for Terraced Homes and Shared Houses
Plenty of deep cleaning in B19 is a licensed rental or shared house being reset, booked by a landlord, an agent or a housing provider, alongside owners resetting their own homes. Where several households share one cooker and one shower, grease layers onto the hob surround and the extractor hood, and black mould reaches the bathroom sealant within months. None of that points to neglect: the house is simply carrying more load than it was built for.
The other side of this work is owner-occupied houses on the streets behind Villa Road, and flats in the low-rise blocks and estates where a provider wants a unit brought back before it is relet. Those two jobs need different amounts of time and we quote them apart. Lozells is about twenty-four minutes up from our Selly Oak base, so looking at a property before pricing it is easy to arrange, and a slot within the week is usually possible.

One kitchen and one shower shared by a whole B19 house
The late-Victorian terraces here were built narrow and deep for a single family, and a good number are now let as shared houses. Nobody owns the shared kitchen, so the extractor filter stays where it was fitted and the gap beside the cooker never gets reached. Bathrooms running showers from early morning to late evening keep the grout permanently damp, which is how mould gets into the sealant so quickly here. Selective licensing running 2023 to 2028 means a landlord has a condition standard to meet, so the reset is usually booked ahead of an inspection or a relet, before any complaint arrives.
- Shared kitchens in B19 licensed rentals where several unrelated households cook on one hob and one extractor
- Extractor filters in Lozells HMOs that have never come out of the hood since the kitchen was fitted
- Bathroom grout and sealant that never dries, because one shower serves the whole house from morning to night
- Soft Elan Valley water, so the film on the shower screen is soap scum and body oils with very little scale in it
- Landlords and agents resetting a property ahead of a licensing inspection or a relet, without waiting for a tenant to ask
Tall doors and deep skirtings dusted dry before anything wet
We work top down and dry before anything wet, which matters in these terraces because the tall doors, picture rails and deep skirtings hold years of dust that smears the moment a damp cloth touches it. The kitchen then comes apart: filter out and into a degreasing soak, hood degreased inside and out, oven interior and door glass done, the gap beside the cooker properly cleaned. Bathrooms are taken back to the grout line and given dwell time. Rooms are cleaned individually, because in a shared Lozells house each one is effectively its own letting. Everything is carried in by hand, since there is nowhere to park alongside the door.
- Extractor filter removed and soaked, never just wiped in the hood, the single biggest change in a shared B19 kitchen
- Grout and silicone treated and left to dwell, then worked, instead of a single scrub and rinse
- Each let room handled as a separate unit, since occupants in a Lozells HMO arrive and leave on their own dates
- Bannisters, light switches and door frames on the stairs, which take the traffic of the whole household in a narrow hallway

Resetting a shared house off Lozells Road
The terraced streets running between Lozells Road and Villa Road, and the roads around Soho Hill, are where this work sits. Two things shape the day. Access first: these houses open straight onto the pavement with no forecourt and no side entry, and on-street parking is contested at every hour, so we unload what we need and then move the van off the narrow street. Timing second: the work follows voids and not seasons, so it runs steadily across the year with no summer peak. We also reset flats inside the blocks when a provider is preparing several at once.
Condition, not room count, prices a Lozells shared house
Condition sets the price here far more than the number of rooms, so a well-kept five-bedroom HMO can come in under a three-bedroom house nobody has properly cleaned since the last tenancy. What moves the figure is the oven and extractor, how many bathrooms there are, how deep the mould has gone into the sealant, and whether we are working around belongings still in the rooms. A Lozells shared house is often a full day’s work, not a half day, and we would sooner say that when quoting than discover it at four in the afternoon. Photos of the kitchen and each bathroom on WhatsApp are enough for a fixed price that does not move.
Every changeover in a licensed HMO, less in an owner-occupied terrace
A licensed HMO in B19 realistically wants this at every changeover, and where rooms are let individually that can mean two or three times a year. Owner-occupied houses off Villa Road sit on the ordinary domestic rhythm of an annual reset, usually spring or before Christmas. Flats in the blocks let on longer tenancies can often go eighteen months without anything getting away from them, and if that is the case we point it out instead of selling a schedule you do not need.
Absolutely brilliant service. Adefem was professional, job well done. Everything was left beautifully clean, and I was genuinely impressed.
Nice man great at what he does
I’m very satisfied with the service I get

Frequently asked questions
No. An end of tenancy clean is judged against an inventory and happens once a property is empty. A deep clean is a reset you can book at any point, including mid-tenancy with people still living there, and nothing is ticked off against a clerk’s list. A Lozells landlord might reasonably book both across a year: a mid-tenancy reset, then a changeover clean when the room comes back.
No, not in those words. The scheme running to 2028 sets a standard for condition and management and does not name a cleaning specification. In practice the things that get raised are the same ones that lose deposits, so the oven, the extractor, the fridge seals and the state of the bathroom grout are where we concentrate the time.
Yes, and in B19 that is often the only practical time. We do the shared kitchen, the bathroom, the hallway, the stairs and the landing, and clean individual rooms where the occupant has cleared the floor and the surfaces. Anything under a pile of belongings we cannot reach, and we list which areas those were.
Often, yes: usually a big improvement, sometimes all of it. Birmingham runs on soft Elan Valley water, so this is not a scale problem: it is mould growing in silicone that never gets a chance to dry. Surface growth cleans off. Where it has gone through the sealant the silicone needs replacing, which is a landlord job, and we show you which of the two you have.
Wherever we can, and then we carry the kit in. Parking is genuinely difficult across Lozells and we plan for it from the start. There is no extra charge because your road was full when we arrived, and we do not park across a narrow terrace pavement while we work.
