Describe what changed

A sequence, not a completion promise

Where the detail sits
This is not a measured floor plan. Describe your own reachable surfaces when discussing the quote.
Look at exposed ledges near coated cupboard faces and floor boundaries. Explain what is reachable rather than assuming every high surface is included.
Connect the room margins to the apartment’s completed interior. A blocked corner needs to be mentioned before attendance.
Name newly fitted items and their materials, including newly coated cabinetry where relevant.
Inspect above and below external units, with any blocked boundary disclosed. Internal cupboard contents are not an automatic part of that detail.
Different deposits need different decisions
| The mark or remnant | Information needed | The practical decision |
|---|---|---|
| Fine dust | coated cupboard faces and floor boundaries | Address accessible post-work detail within the scope confirmed before attendance. |
| Loose cleaning remnants | Unbonded post-work deposits | Agree the ordinary cleaning scope |
| Adhesive or labels | Marks beside newly coated cabinetry | The material and residue both need identifying before inclusion is confirmed.

Describe the apartment’s completed interior, flag newly coated cabinetry, and confirm building access and equipment route. |

Cleaning versus collection

Key scope questions
Prepare your enquiry notes
Include the apartment’s completed interior in the room description.

Questions before confirming the work
A refurbished apartment may look complete from its entrance while ledges and cupboard boundaries still need attention. Explain the reachable detail before treating the handover date as the full specification. Describe the visible condition rather than treating the project name as a complete cleaning checklist.
Confirm the building’s entry procedure and the route equipment may use, without assuming unrestricted lift access. Obtain a clear account of any contractor return visit before confirming the sequence towards handover.
Identify the cabinet coating and any protective material still attached. Film removal and stubborn adhesive require agreement rather than being assumed part of dusting. A resistant spot may be bonded to a vulnerable coating. Its appearance alone cannot establish a safe removal method, and a specialist quotation may be needed.
Check external ledges above and below fitted units. Deposits at a base or threshold may be less obvious than dust on the main counter.
Alesta advertises from £29 for an hour, rather than a set price for every renovation. Cleaning equipment and materials are provided; the actual quotation still requires the property brief. The property description needs the affected fittings as well as the room count. Waste, windows and specialist treatment remain distinct scope questions.
Obtain a clear account of any contractor return visit before confirming the sequence towards handover. The cleaning stage begins only where tools and ongoing work no longer interfere.
Identify unwanted building material before it is mistaken for a cleaning task. Collection needs a separate quotation based on the material, amount and exit route.
Window work is an additional enquiry, subject to availability. Explain heights, reachable faces and any construction spots before assuming a normal glass clean will cover the project. Carpet treatment is another separately agreed service; availability and the required work must be confirmed.
An exact time cannot be promised from a location page. The quote conversation needs the work, finishes and route so the proposed appointment can be considered. Battersea: timing discussion should connect coated cupboard faces and floor boundaries with the apartment’s completed interior. Keep newly coated cabinetry identifiable and confirm building access and equipment route.
Review agreed detail with a contact who can distinguish cleaning issues from outstanding installation work. A resistant spot may be bonded to a vulnerable coating. Its appearance alone cannot establish a safe removal method, and a specialist quotation may be needed.
