Move-out cleaning · Putney
The cleaning appointment should finish before the inventory clerk or new occupant arrives, not compete with them for space. For Putney bookings, we ask about removals, keys and utilities early so the day can run in a sensible order.
Planning the clean
For this Putney move-out, show the oven, hob, sink and cupboard interiors in recent photographs. Confirm that the Putney clean is based on the property as it now stands and whether cupboard interiors are included only where empty for the Putney booking. A separate oven-cleaning option makes the time for racks, trays and baked-on grease clear.
The Putney price reflects condition and access as well as room count. If the Putney clean is based on the property as it now stands and the Putney access window covers the expected cleaning time, the estimate is usually more reliable. Photographs should also make clear whether cupboard interiors are included only where empty for the Putney booking, since heavy grease, limescale or extra treatments add focused time.
The Putney team needs a workable property, not a perfect one. The important points are that the Putney clean is based on the property as it now stands, the Putney access window covers the expected cleaning time, and cupboard interiors are included only where empty for the Putney booking. Tell us promptly if any of these changes after the quote so the visit can be adjusted honestly.
A key-safe, reception desk or agent collection can work for this Putney clean, but only when the Putney access window covers the expected cleaning time. Test the arrangement before moving day and keep the handover contact will review the property before key return at the Putney address visible in the timetable.
Preparing for handover
The service is suitable before a Putney inventory inspection when the Putney clean is based on the property as it now stands and the handover contact will review the property before key return at the Putney address. Raise any concern while access remains available, and keep existing wear separate from dirt that the cleaner could reasonably remove.
The clean should sit between removals and the final Putney handover. Because the handover contact will review the property before key return at the Putney address, choose a start time that leaves completed floors free from later traffic. The duration also depends on whether the Putney clean is based on the property as it now stands and how the current condition compares with the photographs.
Related services are useful only when they match the Putney property. Because the handover contact will review the property before key return at the Putney address, the tenancy clean remains the main booking; general one-off cleaning is a different option for occupied homes that are not changing tenants.
Room-by-room handover plan · Putney
Set the scope before the cleaners arrive, because “deep clean” means different things to different people. For a Putney handover, confirm the key route, parking or reception instructions and the exact deadline in writing. Settle the detailed brief ahead of arrival: the written list provides a handover reference, and the confirmed quotation remains the service boundary.
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.
For this Putney clean, list areas that cannot be reached safely and do not assume heavy furniture will be moved. 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.
Test key-safe or reception arrangements beforehand; paid cleaning time should not be lost while access is being located. Photograph the oven, empty storage, bathrooms and each finished room in good light, keeping the images with the dated inventory.

Local planning note · Putney
Hillside approaches and multi-level houses can lengthen the equipment route. Identify steps, floor levels and a suitable unloading arrangement before the booking is confirmed.
Planning estimate only. The confirmed quote and duration follow the actual rooms, condition, access and extras.
Questions before booking
The booking team records the rooms and tasks before attendance so the clean is not based on a vague promise to cover everything. Send recent photographs if any room has heavy soil or an unusual finish.
Use £195, £265 and £345 as guide starting points for the property-size bands shown on this page, not as automatic final totals. An extra bathroom, utility room or reception space can add work even when the bedroom count is unchanged.
Fitted carpets, loose rugs and upholstery are different items and should be described individually. The written scope should identify exactly which rooms are included.
Cleaning cannot control the inventory decision, but sensible timing makes the condition easier to assess. Confirm where keys must be left before the cleaners arrive.
Contact the booking team as soon as the likely handover date is known; availability must be checked against the live diary. Do not omit extras merely to secure a time that may be unrealistic.
The booking may be arranged by the outgoing tenant, owner or an agent acting with authority for the address. Choose one contact who can answer questions during the appointment.
Tell us the address, room count, condition, access arrangement and handover date.
