Planning the clean

Build a clear brief for the Lewisham handover

Use the day before the Lewisham appointment to confirm that the review will use the same room list as the quotation at the Lewisham address. By then the Lewisham included cupboards and rooms are empty, while the Lewisham entry instructions come from an authorised contact. Recent photographs should show the property in that prepared state rather than how it looked before packing began.

The service is suitable before a Lewisham inventory inspection when the Lewisham included cupboards and rooms are empty and the review will use the same room list as the quotation at the Lewisham address. Raise any concern while access remains available, and keep existing wear separate from dirt that the cleaner could reasonably remove.

For this Lewisham booking, the useful starting point is that the Lewisham included cupboards and rooms are empty. We then check that the Lewisham entry instructions come from an authorised contact, because the team can only clean rooms and surfaces they can safely reach. The full move-out cleaning scope is agreed from those details, with repairs and permanent damage kept outside the promise.

Preparing for handover

Make the cleaning day easier to manage

Do not judge the duration from bedroom count alone. In this Lewisham property, whether the Lewisham included cupboards and rooms are empty and rugs and fitted carpets are identified separately for the Lewisham booking may matter as much as its size. We confirm a working window after those details and the condition have been reviewed.

Fitted carpets in the Lewisham home should be photographed after belongings are removed. Check that the Lewisham included cupboards and rooms are empty, then state whether rugs and fitted carpets are identified separately for the Lewisham booking. Our carpet extraction service can address suitable fibres, although wear, dye loss and permanent staining may remain.

The Lewisham price reflects condition and access as well as room count. If the Lewisham included cupboards and rooms are empty and the Lewisham entry instructions come from an authorised contact, the estimate is usually more reliable. Photographs should also make clear whether rugs and fitted carpets are identified separately for the Lewisham booking, since heavy grease, limescale or extra treatments add focused time.

Related services are useful only when they match the Lewisham property. Because the review will use the same room list as the quotation at the Lewisham address, the tenancy clean remains the main booking; general one-off cleaning is a different option for occupied homes that are not changing tenants.

A practical end of tenancy checklist for Lewisham

Use the inventory as a working document and separate removable dirt from wear, damage or failed fittings. Photographs from the cleared Lewisham home help distinguish routine soil from maintenance or permanent damage. Confirm the written scope before attendance: the checklist guides the inspection, and the confirmed quotation remains the service boundary.

Bedrooms

  • Work around retained furniture and move only light items that can be handled safely and returned correctly.
  • Treat rugs, upholstery and stain removal as separate services with their own material assessment.
  • Dust accessible ledges, wardrobes, frames, radiators externally and skirting before floor work begins.
  • Wipe suitable doors, handles, switches and socket faces without attempting paint repair or electrical work.

Living rooms

  • List sofa, armchair, rug or curtain treatment separately because ordinary surface cleaning does not include extraction.
  • Dust reachable shelving, picture rails, lamp surfaces and the outside of radiators before cleaning the floor.
  • Wipe tables, suitable cabinet fronts, doors and handles while leaving fragile display items for the customer to remove.
  • Clean internal glass that can be reached safely and finish mirrors without leaving wet edges or smears.

Hallway

  • Dust bannisters, reachable corners, frames and skirting, then clean the route towards the exit last.
  • Wipe the internal entrance door, intercom surface, handles and switches where these can be cleaned safely.
  • Vacuum stairs and landings from the upper level down, keeping keys and fobs away from liquids.
  • Protect the completed entrance from movers, luggage and repeated foot traffic before inspection.

Kitchen

  • Degrease suitable worktops, splashbacks, hob parts, the sink and taps without treating damaged finishes as cleanable soil.
  • Remove crumbs from plinths and accessible appliance edges, then vacuum before damp-mopping a compatible floor.
  • Clean listed appliance exteriors and confirm oven, fridge, freezer or dishwasher interiors as named additions.
  • Finish high ledges and extractor surfaces before lower cabinets so loosened dust is not left on completed worktops.

Bathroom

  • Work around sanitary bases and door edges without dismantling fixed fittings or disturbing failed sealant.
  • Use finish-appropriate products; natural stone, acrylic, chrome and painted surfaces require different handling.
  • Leave blocked drains, broken fittings and mould embedded in damaged silicone for maintenance rather than cleaning.
  • Ventilate the room and inspect grout, screens and mirrors after droplets have cleared.

Optional work and practical limits

External upper windows, balconies, waste removal and specialist stain work must appear expressly on the quotation. Ordinary cleaning does not include repairs, pest treatment, hazardous waste or restoration of burns and scratches. If required, name oven cleaning, carpet cleaning, upholstery treatment, external windows or waste removal as separate lines rather than assuming they are included.

A clear Lewisham instruction names optional work separately, especially ovens, carpets, upholstery and external glass. Cupboard and drawer interiors are workable only after they have been emptied, and a cleaner cannot judge whether an unlabelled possession should be kept or discarded.

A final check before the keys leave

Compare the result with check-in photographs, concentrating on surfaces that were clean and undamaged at the start. Inspect once from the doorway and again at working height; the second view often reveals switch marks, crumbs and dusty skirting.

Starting prices and labour guide · Lewisham

End of tenancy cleaning prices and time guidance in Lewisham

Published guide prices establish the minimum band; complete room and access details are still needed for a firm quotation. For Lewisham, the current Alesta guide starts at £195 for a studio or one bedroom, £265 for two or three bedrooms, and £345 for four bedrooms or an extended layout.

Property sizeGuide priceSuggested cleaning team
StudioFrom £1951 cleaner
1 bedroomFrom £1951 or 2 cleaners
2 bedroomsFrom £2652 cleaners
3 bedroomsFrom £2652 or 3 cleaners
4+ bedrooms / extended layoutFrom £345At least 3 cleaners recommended

What shapes the confirmed price

  • Remaining furniture reduces access and increases careful work around edges without authorising heavy lifting.
  • Carpet extraction needs equipment setup, material checks and drying time beyond ordinary vacuuming.
  • Long equipment routes, controlled entrances and restricted unloading should be reported when they affect the visit.

Local planning note · Lewisham

Purpose-built flats and family houses can differ sharply in bathroom count and floor area. List extensions, utility spaces and the equipment route from vehicle to entrance.

Planning estimate only. The confirmed quote and duration follow the actual rooms, condition, access and extras.

Illustrative progress by cleaner-hour

One cleaner · 2 hoursWhen estimating the Lewisham visit, a compact priority zone may be completed when possessions are removed and no specialist treatment is included.
One cleaner · 3 hoursOn the Lewisham booking plan, several prepared rooms at routine condition may be covered; only a genuinely small, light-soil flat could be finished.
One cleaner · 4–5 hoursFor the Lewisham schedule, a prepared studio or one-bedroom may fit, but appliances, scale, furnishings and filled storage extend the work.
One cleaner · 6–8 hoursAs a Lewisham planning example, a detailed one-bedroom or compact two-bedroom layout may be possible with clear access and ordinary condition.
Beyond 8 hoursWithin a prepared Lewisham property, larger or heavily soiled homes need a longer visit or more cleaners; two cleaners for four hours equal eight labour-hours.
One cleaner · 1 hourFor this Lewisham time band, one clear bathroom, selected kitchen surfaces or a short touch-up list may be realistic—not a whole-property handover.

Questions before booking

End of tenancy cleaning questions from Lewisham customers

Which parts of the property can be included in the tenancy clean?

The booking team records the rooms and tasks before attendance so the clean is not based on a vague promise to cover everything. Any task outside the normal scope should be confirmed in writing before arrival.

What should I budget for end of tenancy cleaning in Lewisham?

Use £195, £265 and £345 as guide starting points for the property-size bands shown on this page, not as automatic final totals. The final figure follows the actual room count, soil level and any separately requested work.

Can the owner arrange cleaning after the tenant leaves?

A landlord may book after the property is vacated, provided access and the inspection timetable are confirmed. Any addition must be approved through the booking contact.

Do I need to provide cleaning products or equipment?

Photographs and manufacturer guidance are useful when a surface needs cautious treatment. Ask directly if you are unsure what the team is expected to bring.

Are wardrobe interiors part of the tenancy clean?

Cupboard and drawer interiors can be cleaned when they are empty, safely reachable and included in the agreed scope. Photograph extensive storage if it adds substantial work.

Is cleaning responsible for wear or damage?

Alesta can complete the agreed cleaning scope, but acceptance remains an independent decision by the relevant party. Do not ask the team to hide or cosmetically disguise damage.
