Move-In Cleaning in Barnsley

FAQs
How much does a move-in clean cost?
It's quoted to scope, not a flat rate — the price depends on the property's size, how it was left by the previous occupants, and whether you want it done before or after furniture arrives. Send us the address and photos and we'll come back with a fixed price.
Should I book this before or after I move my furniture in?
Before, if possible — it's far easier and more thorough to clean an empty property than to work around boxes and furniture. If that's not possible, we can still work around what's already in place.
Is this different from an end-of-tenancy clean?
Yes — end-of-tenancy cleaning is for the outgoing tenant to meet a checkout standard. A move-in clean is for you, the incoming resident, so the property is genuinely clean to your standard before you settle in, regardless of what the previous clean covered.
What does a move-in clean typically include?
Kitchen cupboards inside and out, appliance surfaces, bathroom descaling, skirting boards, light switches, floors throughout, and window sills. We tailor the exact scope to what the property actually needs — that's why it's quoted individually rather than fixed.
Can you clean inside cupboards and drawers?
Yes — that's one of the most common requests for a move-in clean, since previous occupants' cupboards often aren't included in a standard end-of-tenancy clean.
How soon can I book before my move date?
Get in touch as early as you can once you have keys or a confirmed date, so we can fit the clean in before your moving day. Availability depends on the time of year.
Why move-in cleaning is different from end-of-tenancy
End-of-tenancy cleaning is scoped to meet a checkout standard set by a landlord or letting agent — it's about the outgoing tenant getting their deposit back. A move-in clean is scoped entirely around what matters to you as the person about to live there, which is why we ask what you want covered rather than working to a fixed checklist.
What a move-in clean does — and doesn't — cover
- Covers: cupboards, drawers, appliance exteriors, bathrooms, floors, skirtings
- Can be added: carpet cleaning, oven cleaning, upholstery or mattress cleaning
- Doesn't cover: repairs, redecoration, or structural issues found during the clean
- Doesn't cover: removal of items left behind by previous occupants (flag this in advance if relevant)
