Move-In Cleaning

Move-In Cleaning: Move-in cleaning gets a new home properly clean before you unpack. Empty rooms are the easiest time to reach inside cupboards, behind appliances and along every skirting board, so you start life in the property knowing everything has been cleaned to your standard, not the previous occupier's.

Will I get the same cleaner every time?

For regular cleaning and housekeeping we aim to send the same cleaner on every visit. If they are on holiday or unwell, we arrange cover from the same local team and brief them on your checklist.

Are your cleaners vetted and insured?

Every cleaner is identity-checked, right-to-work checked and reference-checked before joining, and every job is covered by public liability insurance. Ask us for a copy of the certificate at any time.

Do I need to be at home during the clean?

No. Many customers give us a key or a lockbox code. Keys are stored securely and coded so they can't be linked to your address.
