West Bromwich End of Tenancy Cleans Timed to the Notice Date
Plenty of the housing in B70 and B71 is let, and it changes hands continuously: a terrace this week, a former council semi the next, a flat above a High Street shop the week after. There is no single changeover season here, which is good news for anyone booking, because there is no July crush to fight through. What there is instead is pressure on time, since every day a property sits empty is a day of lost rent.
The work is largely bought from the owner’s side: landlords with two or three houses locally, letting agents managing a list of them, and now and then a housing provider clearing a property before it is re-let. We work to whatever inventory or checklist you already use, invoice you directly, not the outgoing tenant, and photograph each room on completion so there is a record if the check-out is later disputed.

What a long tenancy leaves in a basic B70 kitchen and bathroom
The gap this service fills is the distance between how a house is handed back and the condition it was signed for. In Sandwell’s rented stock that gap can be wide, because a good deal of the housing is older terraced or former council-built property fitted with basic kitchens and bathrooms that show every year of use. A tenancy of two or three years leaves a cooker that has been wiped but never stripped, a hood filter that has never once been taken out, mould worked into shower sealant and a fridge seal nobody has ever opened out. Meanwhile the void has to close fast, because the property cannot be photographed for a listing in that state and cannot earn while it is empty.
- Continuous turnover across the rented stock, with voids opening in ones and twos throughout the year and no summer rush
- Basic fitted kitchens in older terraces and estate housing, where the cooker and hood take the brunt of a long tenancy
- Mould worked into shower sealant and grout, which is what gets photographed here, with scale on the taps close behind it
- Landlords and agents needing the property listable within days, because an empty week is an unpaid week
- Belongings and furniture left behind by an outgoing tenant, which need clearing first, as we do not offer clearance
Cleaned to the inventory the house was let on, room by room
Where an inventory was taken at check-in we clean to it line by line, and where none exists we work to the list clerks use as standard. Kitchens come first, since the deposit is won or lost there: hob, oven door glass, shelves and the oven cavity itself, then the hood and its filter, each cupboard front and carcass, the fridge and freezer with their seals pulled open, and the washing machine drawer and rubber. Bathrooms are taken down to the grout line. Every room is then detailed to the skirtings, frames, switches and sills, and photographed as it is signed off.
- Worked from the inventory the property was actually let on, whenever the agent or owner can send it over
- Completion photographs of each room, so a re-let can be advertised straight away and a dispute has evidence behind it
- The hood filter and the sliver of floor beside the cooker included as standard, never billed as extras
- Booked from the day notice is served, so the clean lands on a set day before the keys come back

Void turnarounds across the B70 and B71 rented stock
This work is spread right across the town instead of sitting on a few streets: terraces near the centre, estate housing towards Hill Top and Charlemont, and flats above and behind the High Street. West Bromwich is covered on set days, and move-out cleans go onto those days as well. We are about twenty-five minutes from Selly Oak, so the way to avoid losing a letting week is to book when notice is served, not when the keys land.
Size sets the start; the cooker and the sealant move it
Size sets the starting point and condition moves it, sometimes a long way. A three-bedroom semi handed back in fair order can price below a two-bedroom terrace that has had five years and no cleaning. The cooker is the biggest single item. After that comes the bathroom count and how deeply mould has worked into the sealant, then whether the carpets need extracting, then whether the place is genuinely empty. We quote the job in front of us as one firm figure, with no headline rate that grows on the day. A handful of photographs of the kitchen and bathroom will get you a firm figure.
Once per tenancy, booked when notice is served
Once per tenancy, at the void. The useful thing about West Bromwich is that there is no month where the diary closes, so a date is rarely hard to find, provided it is booked ahead for one of our set days in the town. If you manage several properties locally it is worth telling us your notice periods as they come in, well before the keys land, since we can then hold time and get you back on the market faster.
Absolutely brilliant service. Adefem was professional, job well done. Everything was left beautifully clean, and I was genuinely impressed.
I’m very satisfied with the service I get
Excellent job, highly recommended.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, and on a West Bromwich let that is the natural arrangement. Landlords and agents in the town book directly, we work from their checklist and the invoice goes to them, so nothing depends on chasing somebody who has already moved out. If a tenant is paying instead, we bill them and send the same completion photographs to whoever is doing the check-out.
Clearance has to come first, because we do not remove furniture, mattresses or bulk waste. Book the clearance before us, not after: a property cleaned around a pile of belongings has to be revisited, and you end up paying twice for the same rooms. Once it is empty, we clean everything and photograph each room.
Now, while the tenant is still in. West Bromwich is covered on set days, so a week or two of notice lets us put the clean on one of them straight after the keys come back. Tell us the date and what the property is, and we will give you a real slot, never an optimistic one we later move.
Only if the agreement requires it, so check the tenancy first, because some agreements require professional carpet cleaning and some do not mention it. If it is required, extraction is priced apart from the clean and you get a receipt showing the address and the date it was done. If it is not required, and the pile is worn out, not soiled, you will be told that cleaning changes nothing a clerk is going to record.
The cooker first, every time. Then the hood filter, then fridge and freezer seals, then mould in the shower grout and its sealant. Limescale belongs on that list too: B70 and B71 are on hard South Staffs water, so the taps and the screen are worth the ten minutes.
