End of Tenancy Cleaning in Lozells, Worked to the Relet Date
B19 has plenty of private lets and shared houses and sits inside the selective licensing scheme running 2023 to 2028, so properties here change hands often and on no seasonal pattern. Voids come up in any month, with no summer rush. From the owner’s side the sums are simple: an empty week costs more than the clean does, so the most useful thing we can offer a landlord is a date we will actually hit.
What counts is whether a property can go straight back onto the market or through an inspection without a second visit, whatever it looked like to the person leaving. A handful of items decide it: oven interior and door glass, extractor filter, fridge and freezer seals, mould in the shower grout, the tops of doors. That is the list we work to, and we will clean against a check-in inventory or an agent’s own checklist wherever one exists.

A shared B19 rental handed back against a condition report
A Lozells rental has usually run for a year or more with several unrelated households cooking in one kitchen and sharing one bathroom, then it is handed back on a fixed date and judged against a condition it was in when empty. That gap is the whole job. Grease beside and behind the cooker, an extractor filter nobody has ever taken out, mould in the shower sealant and a haze on the inside of the oven door are the standard findings on this stock. Where rooms are let individually, occupants leave on different dates and the property is rarely fully empty when it needs doing, so the clean has to be sequenced around whoever is still in it.
- Licensed rentals and HMOs in B19 turning over continuously, with no single seasonal wave
- Rooms let individually, so occupants leave on separate dates and the house is never empty all at once
- A year of several households on one cooker, one extractor and one shower, checked against an empty-property standard
- Landlords and agents needing a property back on the market within days, where a dragging void costs more than the clean
- Housing providers turning round flats in the low-rise blocks and estates to a relet specification
The agent’s checklist, kitchen first, in one visit
We clean against your check-in inventory or the agent’s checklist where one exists, and against the standard clerk’s list where it does not. Kitchen first, because that is where deposits are lost: oven interior, racks and door glass, hob, extractor hood and filter, the gap beside the cooker, every cupboard inside and out, fridge and freezer including the seals. Bathrooms go back to the grout and the sealant. Then each room is detailed down to skirtings, frames, switches, sills and the insides of wardrobes and drawers. We photograph every room as we finish, which matters when the property is being signed off by somebody who was never there.
- Cleaned against the property’s own inventory or the agent’s checklist whenever you can send it over
- Room-by-room photographs on completion, so an agent or provider can sign off without a second visit
- Extractor filter and the gap beside the cooker included as standard items, never billed as extras
- Sequenced around rooms that are still occupied, then finished once the last one is cleared

Voids and changeovers on the B19 terraces
The work sits across the terraced streets between Lozells Road and Villa Road, around Soho Hill and towards the Holte School end, plus flats inside the blocks when a provider is turning several at once. Nothing about the diary follows the academic year here: a void can start in February as easily as July. Access is the practical constraint. There is no off-street parking and no side entry on many houses, so we bring the kit in from wherever we can stop and we ask for the door to be open at the time we agreed.
Condition over room count on a Lozells void
Room count matters, but condition matters more, and a well-kept five-bed can price below a three-bed that has had a hard year. The oven is usually the biggest variable. After that it is the number of bathrooms, how far mould has gone into the sealant, whether carpets need hot water extraction, and whether furniture and belongings are still in the property. That last one is the usual Lozells complication, because in a house let room by room the occupants do not all leave on the same day. Photos of the kitchen and the bathroom on WhatsApp are enough for a fixed price, and it does not move on the day.
Voids across the year, turned round within days
Once per tenancy, but the booking window is what matters here. Because Lozells turns over across the whole year, we can usually cover a property within a few days of being asked. Where a landlord holds several properties and knows a licence inspection or a relet date is coming, booking a fortnight ahead gets a slot chosen around the handover.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, and in Lozells the landlord or agent is often the one paying. We can take a portfolio changeover by changeover across a group of properties, work to their own checklist and bill them directly. Where an outgoing tenant is paying instead, we invoice them and still provide the room photographs.
Yes, and that is normal in a house let room by room. We do the kitchen, bathroom, hall, stairs and every cleared room, then come back for the last ones. What we cannot do is clean around boxes and furniture and call it finished, because unreachable areas are exactly what gets flagged at the end.
Usually within a few days of the call. Lozells changes over across the year with no single compressed season, so a slot is rarely hard to find, July included. Tell us the relet date and we will plan the clean around it.
Oven interior and door glass first, by a distance. Then the extractor filter, fridge and freezer seals, mould in the shower grout and sealant, and the tops of doors and skirtings. Scale is rarely on the list: Birmingham is on soft Elan Valley water, so what costs money in B19 is grease and mould.
Not really. Licensing raises the bar on the condition a property is handed over in without setting out a cleaning specification. In practice the items an inspection raises are the same ones a deposit dispute turns on, so working to the inventory standard covers both without needing a separate job.
