Move-out cleaning · Dulwich
The cleaning appointment should finish before the inventory clerk or new occupant arrives, not compete with them for space. For Dulwich bookings, we ask about removals, keys and utilities early so the day can run in a sensible order.
Planning the clean
A Dulwich property can have stairs, reception rooms and furniture that blocks parts of the floor. Show the real layout after packing and identify anything belonging to the landlord.
The move-out clean covers suitable accessible surfaces. Heavy furniture stays in place unless movement is safe and agreed; damage remains a maintenance issue.
Preparing for handover
Name fitted rooms for professional carpet cleaning and allow them to dry before the check-out.
Complete removals first, protect finished floors and review rooms before keys leave. For a non-moving household, consider one-off cleaning.
Room-by-room handover plan · Dulwich
A reliable handover clean begins after the last box and bag has left the property. The Dulwich checklist should show the final condition after removals, not how the rooms looked during packing. Approve the room schedule before the appointment: the written list provides a handover reference, but the accepted quote defines the booked work.
Cleaning can improve presentation but cannot reverse worn coatings, chipped surfaces or permanent discolouration. Heavy furniture, connected appliances and unsafe high-level areas remain in place unless a different method is agreed. If required, name oven cleaning, carpet cleaning, upholstery treatment, external windows or waste removal as separate lines rather than assuming they are included.
In Dulwich, tell the booking team whether cleaners will work in an empty, partly furnished or still-occupied property. 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.
Give the authorised contact the room list and exclusions before keys change hands so late additions do not disrupt the booking. Complete removals first and keep contractors out of finished rooms, especially after carpets or hard floors have been treated.
Starting prices and labour guide · Dulwich
A starting price should make comparison easier without pretending that every home with the same bedroom count is identical. For Dulwich, 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.
Local planning note · Dulwich
Larger houses may include studies, conservatories and several reception rooms not reflected by bedroom count. Add each space and any long garden-side access route to the brief.
Planning estimate only. The confirmed quote and duration follow the actual rooms, condition, access and extras.
Questions before booking
The cleaner follows the confirmed brief rather than making assumptions about belongings, repairs or unlisted extras. Permanent marks, wear and failed sealant are not treated as removable dirt.
Current guide prices start from £195 for a studio or one-bedroom home, £265 for two or three bedrooms, and £345 for four bedrooms or an extended layout. Access restrictions and the amount of usable cleaning time may also affect planning.
Alesta can complete the agreed cleaning scope, but acceptance remains an independent decision by the relevant party. Record existing defects separately so they are not confused with missed cleaning.
Delayed or failed entry can reduce the usable cleaning window, so test codes and key arrangements beforehand. Working utilities must remain available even if the customer is absent.
A partly furnished home can be quoted when photographs show the items and the clear working routes. Keep routes between rooms clear for equipment.
The booking team considers size, soil level, appliances, flooring treatments and the number of cleaners assigned. Late access or uncleared belongings can reduce productive cleaning time.
Tell us the address, room count, condition, access arrangement and handover date.
