Move-out cleans worked to the inventory

End of tenancy work is tied closely to where we are based. B29 sits among the student houses around the university and the Bristol Road, and every June, July and August those streets go through a wave of changeovers. Elsewhere lets change hands throughout the year, so the work there is spread across the calendar.

What matters in this job is not how clean the property looks to you. It is whether it passes an inventory check. We clean to the checklist an inventory clerk actually works from, because those are the lines that get flagged and cost people their deposit.

Moving out? We clean the empty property room by room against the inventory, so it is ready for the check-out. The kitchen and bathroom take most of the time: the oven stripped down, the extractor filter degreased, and the soap film and scale taken off the taps, screen and tiles.

Room by room, as the clerk checks it

The clean covers the whole property and follows the lines an inventory clerk checks:

  • Kitchen: Oven, racks, hob and extractor degreased, cupboards cleaned inside and out, worktops, sink and tiles.
  • Bathrooms & toilets: Toilets, basins, bath and shower cleaned, grout scrubbed, screens and taps descaled, mirrors polished.
  • Living areas & bedrooms: Skirtings, doors, sockets and radiators wiped, wardrobes and drawers cleaned out, floors vacuumed.
  • Windows & doors: Inside glass, frames and sills, with outside glass available from the ground on the same booking.
  • Floors & carpets: Hard floors mopped, and carpets cleaned by hot-water extraction where the tenancy requires it.
  • Extras: Fridge and freezer once defrosted, washing machine drawer and seal, and a back yard or balcony swept and washed.

Ready for inspection

Send us the check-in inventory or the agent’s checklist and we clean against it. We can invoice the landlord or agent directly, and the clean is best booked for once the last belongings are out.

How we do it

  1. 01We work from the inventory, not a generic listIf you have the check-in inventory or the agent’s checklist, send it to us. We will clean against it. If you do not have one, we use the standard checklist inventory clerks work from.
  2. 02Kitchen first, and properlyOven interior, racks and door glass, hob, extractor hood and filter, inside and outside of every cupboard, fridge and freezer including the seals, washing machine drawer and seal, worktops, sink and taps. The kitchen is where most deposits are lost.
  3. 03Bathrooms sanitised to the groutToilets, sinks, baths, showers, screens, tiles, grout, sealant, mirrors, extractor fans and any mould.
  4. 04Every room detailedSkirting boards, door frames, doors, switches, sockets, handles, radiators, window sills, internal glass, wardrobes and drawers inside and out, light fittings and cobwebs.
  5. 05Floors and carpets lastVacuumed and washed. Carpets hot-water extracted where the tenancy requires it or where they need it: we will tell you which.
  6. 06Fixed handover dates are the normWe plan the clean backwards from the handover date. In the Selly Oak changeover season, book early: the whole area hands over within a few weeks, and slots in our Monday to Saturday hours go quickly.

What sets the price of end of tenancy cleaning

End of tenancy is priced by the size of the property and its condition. A one-bedroom flat in Kings Heath is a fraction of the cost of a six-bedroom shared house in Selly Oak that has had a year of hard use, and pricing them from the same table would be meaningless.

The biggest single variable is the oven. A neglected oven can add a substantial amount of time on its own. The other variables are the number of bathrooms, how much mould has grown in the grout and sealant, whether carpets need hot-water extraction, and whether the property has been left with belongings still in it. Send photos on WhatsApp and we will give you a fixed price, so there is no surprise on the day.

How often end of tenancy cleaning is needed

Once per tenancy, but timing matters. Book as soon as you have your move-out date, particularly for Selly Oak in June to August when the whole area changes over in a matter of weeks and slots go quickly.

Frequently asked questions

We clean to inventory standard, which is what deposit disputes are judged against, and we work from your check-in inventory if you have it. We cannot control what an individual clerk decides or account for damage and wear that is not a cleaning matter, but cleaning is the most common reason deposits are withheld and it is the part we can put right.

Yes. We are based in Selly Oak, among the shared houses around the university and the Bristol Road, and we plan the June to August changeover around handover dates within our Monday to Saturday hours. Book early for those months.

As soon as you have a move-out date. For Selly Oak in summer, several weeks ahead if you can, because the whole area changes over at once and slots fill. Outside that period, within about 25 minutes of Selly Oak a week is usually enough; further out, book a week or two ahead for the area’s set day.

Hot-water carpet extraction is quoted separately, because not every tenancy requires it. Check your agreement, because many specify professional carpet cleaning. If yours does, we will include it and can provide confirmation of the work.

Yes. We can invoice the landlord or the agent directly, and work from their own checklist rather than ours.

Ideally yes, so we can reach everything. We can work around belongings in a shared house where tenants leave on different dates, which is very common in Selly Oak, but anything we cannot access we cannot clean, and that is what gets flagged.

Yes, interior, racks, door glass, hob, extractor hood and filter. The oven is an item every inventory check looks at closely, so it is not something we rush or treat as an extra.
