Deep Cleaning After Clearance
An empty property isn’t always a ready property. As an add-on to any of our clearances, our deep cleaning service takes care of everything left behind by years of use — or by the clearance itself — so the property is genuinely ready to sell, let, or hand back, not just empty.
What a post-clearance deep clean covers
A deep clean goes well beyond a normal tidy-up: floors, skirting boards, inside cupboards and drawers, kitchen surfaces and appliances, bathroom fittings, windows and window sills, and light fixtures are all covered. In properties that have been cleared after a long occupancy, hoarding situation or period of neglect, we pay particular attention to areas that have been out of reach for years, such as behind large furniture or inside built-in storage.
Why it matters for sales and lettings
Estate agents and letting agents consistently point to a clean, fresh-smelling property as one of the biggest factors in a quick sale or re-let. A property that’s been cleared but not cleaned can still put off buyers and tenants, undoing much of the benefit of the clearance itself. A proper deep clean removes not just visible mess but built-up grime, odours and marks that a standard clean won’t touch.
Following straight on from a clearance
Because we carry out the clearance ourselves, we can move straight into a deep clean without needing a separate visit or a different contractor — useful when you’re working to a completion date or a new tenancy start. The property can be handed back genuinely ready to use, not just empty and swept.
An add-on to your clearance
Deep cleaning is offered as an extra on top of one of our clearances, not as a standalone service — because our team is already on site once a property has been cleared, we can move straight into cleaning it properly, without a separate contractor or a second visit.
What is included and pricing
Every deep clean is scoped to the property: number of rooms, general condition, and whether it follows directly from one of our clearances. We’ll agree a fixed price based on what’s needed rather than a generic hourly rate, so you know the full cost before we start.
What our cleaning team focuses on
Kitchens and bathrooms get the most attention, since they’re also where estate agents, letting agents and incoming tenants look hardest: ovens, extractor fans, tile grout, sealant around baths and sinks, and limescale on taps and shower screens. We also check areas that are easy to overlook — the tops of kitchen cabinets, behind radiators, inside empty wardrobes and cupboards, and carpets or hard flooring throughout. For properties that have stood empty for a while, we also deal with the musty smell that builds up in unventilated rooms, rather than just masking it.
One team, one visit
Coordinating a separate cleaning contractor after a clearance often means a second visit, a second quote, and a gap in the schedule while you wait for availability to align. Because our own team can move straight from clearance to clean, there's no handover, no repeated explanation of what needs doing, and no delay between the property being emptied and being genuinely ready — which matters most when a sale completion or new tenancy start date is already fixed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you deep clean without doing the clearance as well?
No — deep cleaning is offered only as an add-on alongside one of our clearances, not as a standalone service.
How long does a deep clean take?
Most properties take half a day to a full day, depending on size and condition — we’ll confirm timing when we quote.
Do you bring your own cleaning equipment and products?
Yes, our team arrives fully equipped, so there’s nothing you need to provide.
Is a deep clean suitable for an end-of-tenancy inspection?
Yes — our deep cleans are designed to meet the standard expected for end-of-tenancy and pre-sale inspections.
