Shirley Deep Cleaning for Stratford Road Semis and Detached Houses
B90 is mostly owner-occupied semis and detached houses, so a deep clean here is usually a reset of a property somebody intends to keep, not a rescue before a landlord inspection. It changes the brief. We are working around furniture, fitted carpets and kitchens that are all staying exactly where they are, not stripping an empty property back.
The dirt follows a pattern too. Grease across the kitchen, a milky film over the shower screen and mould darkening the grout lines are the usual work in a B90 house. Water supply across Solihull varies, and your bill names the supplier, so we check whether scale is part of the picture before choosing a product. Houses fronting the A34 then get a fourth thing the avenues behind them never see: an oily road film settling on the inside of the front windows.

What the A34 leaves inside a Shirley front bedroom
The Stratford Road frontage is the difference between one Shirley house and another, and it shows up indoors as much as out. A front bedroom over the A34 collects a fine oily film on sills, reveals, curtain tops and radiator grilles even with the windows kept shut, while the same room at the rear of the same house stays comparatively clean. Behind that sits the standard suburban build-up: extractor hoods and filters in kitchens extended decades ago, mould in the grout of bathrooms fitted into small original rooms, and soil walked in from deep, well-planted rear gardens. The conservatory is usually the room that has gone longest without anybody cleaning it properly.
- Front rooms over the Stratford Road carrying an oily traffic film on sills, reveals and radiator grilles
- Rear rooms in the very same house soiling at a fraction of that rate, so an even sweep through wastes your money
- Extended rear kitchens whose hob surrounds, extractor hoods and filters hold years of cooking grease
- Bathrooms fitted into small original rooms, where poor ventilation feeds soap scum and grout mould
- Conservatories in everyday use that nobody includes in a routine clean
Top down, with the hours tilted to the road-facing rooms
We go top down, dry before wet, and in a Shirley house the hours are deliberately tilted towards the road-facing side. Front reveals, sills, curtain tops, radiator grilles and internal glass want a degreaser, because road film is oily and a damp cloth only redistributes it. The kitchen follows: inside the oven, its racks and door glass, the hob, the hood and the filter out of it, then cupboards front and back. Grout and sealant are left to soak instead of being scoured. The conservatory counts as a room of its own, glass, frames, seals and floor.
- Hours weighted towards the A34-facing rooms, which carry more road film than the rest of the house
- Degreasing chemistry on front sills, reveals and internal glass, since road film smears under plain detergent
- Oven, hob, extractor hood and filter done as standard rather than quoted as an extra
- Grout and sealant left to soak, because mould in a small bathroom has to be lifted out, not scoured

What a Shirley deep clean covers
The housing here is mostly interwar and post-war stock behind the main road, with newer apartments and townhouses at Parkgate that are small enough to finish inside a day. Before Christmas, or ahead of family coming to stay, are the obvious times to book one. Houses sitting directly on the Stratford Road are where we spend genuine time on the front elevation rooms. Off-street parking is close to universal here, which makes a full day of interior work straightforward, and the drive out from Selly Oak is about twenty-five minutes, so this postcode is worked on planned days.
Conservatory and frontage: what shifts a Shirley deep clean
What a deep clean costs depends on the state of the place, not how many bedrooms are in it, and two features shift the figure further than anything else in Shirley. One is the conservatory. A large one being used as a dining or sitting room is effectively another room, mostly made of glass, and putting it in the quote from the outset beats discovering it on the day. The other is the oven and extractor in an extended rear kitchen, which on their own can account for hours. Beyond those: how many bathrooms, how deeply the mould has travelled into grout and sealant, whether carpets are being extracted at the same visit, and how much road-facing glazing there is.

Spring and again before Christmas for a Stratford Road house
Twice a year alongside a regular clean suits most B90 households, typically spring and again ahead of Christmas, though once is enough for plenty of them. Houses fronting the Stratford Road lean towards the higher figure, since the front rooms build up film steadily through the year, and a conservatory in daily use argues the same way. Selling up? One deep clean before the photographs and the viewings is normally the lot.

Frequently asked questions
Usually it is something else. A cloudy shower screen is most often soap scum, and darkened grout lines are mould that has taken hold in them. Water supply varies across Solihull and your bill names the supplier, so we check for scale as well before choosing a product, because a descaler does nothing for mould and a mould treatment does nothing for scale.
Because the A34 puts an oily film through the front of the property that the rear never sees. On a Stratford Road frontage it turns up inside the room, on window reveals, sills, curtain tops and radiator grilles. A back bedroom in the same house is often noticeably cleaner, so we spend the hours where they are actually needed.
Yes, and we would suggest it. In Shirley the conservatory is usually a room in everyday use that everybody skips, so glass, frames, seals, sills and the floor all come into scope. The roof and the outside are a separate exterior job with different equipment, and we will quote that on its own.
That depends on how deep the mould has gone, and you will be told which before spending money on the wrong one. Where mould sits on the face of grout or sealant, the right product and enough soaking lifts it. Where it has got down inside old silicone, it will be back in a few weeks no matter how hard anyone cleans, and what that needs is a re-seal.
Reckon on a full day for four bedrooms with a conservatory and an extended kitchen. A three-bedroom semi off one of the avenues behind is more like five to eight hours, and a flat at Parkgate a good deal less again. The time estimate comes with the quote, not after it.
