Why choose with our team

Both can involve deep cleaning, but move-in preparation and construction residues have different priorities. Our team uses photos to distinguish everyday dust, construction dust, adhesive and paint before agreeing coverage.

We offer the relevant cleaning arrangements and can explain methods and scope against site needs before confirming a quotation. You do not need to determine every model, material or process yourself before enquiring.

When move-in cleaning is suitable

Choose move-in deep cleaning after handover and repairs, ideally before furniture arrives. It addresses cupboards, window tracks, kitchens, bathrooms and floors rather than only routine dusting within an hourly booking.

Move-in cleaning is not a building inspection, repair service, disinfection treatment or formaldehyde-removal treatment. Smell alone cannot identify the substances released by new furnishings or renovation work.

When post-renovation cleaning is suitable

After renovation, fine construction dust, sawdust, paint spots and tape residue need a task-based cleaning plan. A comparison based only on hours may miss the work involved in removing these residues.

Paint, adhesive and silicone residues must be assessed against the underlying material. Aggressive scraping is not safe on every surface, and construction-waste removal and building repairs should not be assumed included.

Booking and completion checks

Check cupboard shelves, hinges, window tracks, kitchen surfaces and bathroom joints before the floors. Record outstanding building defects separately from removable dirt.

Inspect drawer bases, shelf undersides, window tracks, skirting boards and sanitary-fitting edges. Distinguish scratches and reflections from removable dust and powdery marks.

  • Send site photos, area or quantities and explain your main priorities.
  • Confirm timing, access, utilities, belongings and subsequent use without assuming extra services are included.
